Hello gang. It has been a very long time... Almost 5 months, in fact. I finally got out with my lure rod on Thursday, I decided to head down to a quarry in Dorset where I had been rewarded with a few fish, this time last year. The fishing wasn't half as good as last year, but it was really...

Hi all. I was always under the impression that it was a criminal offence to keep undersized fish, but a couple of websites suggest otherwise... "In general, it is accepted that there are no minimum sizes for keeping fish for sea anglers, although this can only be tested in court. The EU...

Hi all. Are there any 3 piece rods that can pendulum cast 6oz plus bait? My initial thoughts are no, but I thought I would ask. I need 2 rods that pack down to less than 1.7m that I can keep in my van for spontaneous last minute trips. Thankyou

Hi all. Headed out yesterday for a wrasse bash on the Dorset Coast. I set off from Lulworth Cove and made my way around the bay, trying to avoid the grockles, until I reached the steps that took me up and away from the crowds and onto Fossil Forest. I had a little dabble on the lure rod...

Hi all. I couldn't decide where to go yesterday so messaged a few mates and decided to head to Sand Point. I'd never fished there before but knew a little about the mark. I was set up around midday and launched a variety of baits in to the distance. It was quite rough on arrival so I fancied my...

Hi all. I've been out a couple of times recently, targeting blonde rays and bass, with little success, I love my specimen hunting at this time of year but it does often mean a lot of effort with no reward. However, sometimes, everything aligns, and this was the case on Friday when I made the...

Hi all. After my recently bream video, I have had a couple of messages from people asking where to go to target bigger bream. Although this video isn't directly about fishing, it does cover a lot of the main marks on the eastern Purbecks, someone might find it useful.

Hi all. I have spent some long hours on the Jurassic Coast in recent weeks trying to tempt one of the coolest species in UK waters, the black bream. It's at this time of year that the bigger fish tend to move within casting distance, although this is often dictated by the weather; calmer weather...

Hi all. Headed to Lulworth Cove on Thursday to test out the new kayak. The plan, to head to Mupe Bay via Fossil Forest, along the exposed Jurassic Coast for a solo wild camp and lure. I was tested on both the journey out and the return to Lulworth the following day. I expected clear blue...

Hi all. It's my bday on Monday so I wanted to do something a little different this weekend. The weather looked absolutely perfect for a specimen hunt at my favourite mark so I spent the week arranging all my gear, charging batteries, tying rigs and drying out my manky sleeping bag that had been...

Good morning all. I have gone down to a 4 day week recently and have been enjoying my fishing on empty, remote beaches and rock marks, typically heading out after work or Thursday and sometimes staying out until Saturday morning. This week I decided to head to one of the most dangerous and...

Hi all. I headed down to Chapman's Pool last weekend for a fish and camp. I have fished down there a few times and always found clean ground, however, this time, it was not the case. I got off the mark quite early in the session with a small pollack on my lure rod, but that was it for the night...

Hi all. I headed out at the weekend for a night down at Dancing Ledge near Swanage. Armed with my lure rod and cameras, I spent some of the afternoon searching for an elusive Dorset puffin before heading down to the lower ledges to set up camp. The fishing was half decent with 2 nice size...

Hello all. I will try not to close my browser and delete my report this time... Last week I decided to hit the Jurassic Coast in search of 4 things... FISH, food, the Milky Way and most importantly, peace and quiet. Ok that's 5 things but you get the point... Day 1 took me to Chapman's Pool...

Hi all. I hope you're well and enjoying spring. Apologies for the lack of words, I wrote a report and for some reason, my browser closed and I lost the lot :( I can't bring myself to type it up again so here are the videos: In short, I have enjoyed 2 recent trips, recently, one to...

Hi all. I moved house in October and have been so busy doing bits and pieces to the house that I haven't been fishing since December. The last few weeks I have had alot more time on my hands so have hit the coast in search of wrasse, bass and the Milky Way. Here's a video of my most recent trip...

Alright gang. A moderate SW at this time of year only means one thing..... Worbarrow Bay..... Unsuccessful in sourcing fresh rag worm on Friday, I left my house yesterday with a couple of tackle shops in my satnav. Not for the first time, the lads in Christchurch Angling saved the day, and after...

Headed to Chesil yesterday around 2pm, I nearly didn't go when I saw the traffic at 10am but had the day off work so thought, why not... Baits hit the water and I waited patiently... then waited some more... and some more... Day time was absolutely dire!!! I had a chat to my mate who fished the...

Happy birthday to my favourite OAP Have a good one mate

Hi all. I hope everyone is well, and doing a better job escaping Covid than I have this year. In between 2 bouts of Rona and laryngitis, I have been fishing a few times. Most recently, a trip to Sandbanks saw me wangle out a small plaice, before a similar result at Hengistbury Head the...
