Evening Colin Yep Trampsters on it I cut my link off with my trace at the end of the session I always re-tie my links and braid leaders after every session ( I don’t think mono and braid is a long term marriage as braid will cut into mono , I lost a big ray with J Richards once with poor /old...

Morning Rab Like J Richards says there’s no downside fishing braid leaders I’ve fished for years with 90lb 4 strand braid leader around 6 meters on to .35 mono mainline connected the two with a double uni knot very strong and small knot to go thru the rings I mainly fish multis and have attached...

Evening It was definitely fishy not a seal It was nearly dark and light was not good The duck” wasn’t a cormorant either so bit of a mystery A small seal swam past us 10yds out earlier Definitely not that It probably was a porpoise, but imagine if it was a tuna that close in My 230 yds on...

Evening Colin How weird no fish at abbo I reckon you could have walked across the channel with the amount of tings on offer further west. !! Catch up soon Gray

Hi all Went with Tom for a session at Cogden last Saturday, strong cold wind off our shoulders flat sea ……could only mean ting Yep we found them , several over 1lb Dogs and straps , I’m sure the cod were there but the tings were on it very quickly Tried a stinger rig but livebaiting a 1 lb...

Thanks mate Impressed with your recent match results

I do agree blow is probably the best cod bait , but combos of crab and squid seem to do the business and not forgetting fresh blacks A stinger rig can be deadly on chesil providing your not live baiting a dog or strap !!! Good to share info Gray

Come on Nigel You know you want to !! I think they’ll be here for a while Speak to Pete to give you heads up I know I’m out soon …

Thanks for the positive comments, I really enjoy difficult conditions and achieving the target species When I gutted the codling there was a sea mouse and a small edible crab in it’s stomach !! Just goes to show it’s not all about worm Right place right time is the key I think Thanks Gray

Hi all Went to mid chesil yesterday afternoon for a chance of a cod Jesus, went over the top to massive seas and strong wind in your face !! Started with one rod baited with squid and blacks from Abbo tackle , thanks Arron life saver . Held bottom ok with 6oz even during the low water period...

Thanks Guys Do you think netters are struggling in Lyme Bay or it’s just easy to net close to the shore at Chesil ? I just hope it picks up soon, but I don’t think the commercial fishermen have helped It could all kick off in June 🤞 Best of luck to all Gray

Morning peeps After a break from Chesil decided to give it a go for hounds last night 9.0c evening tide looked good for a chance Went to W Bexy full of enthusiasm till I got to the car park ….nets …. from Cogden towards Abbotesbury Go left keep walking found last marker float Then saw another...

Morning Colin Good to meet you too I think the sess was more challenging due to the orange floats about 250 yds off the beach I had it confirmed couple of days ago they were nets !!! From Hive to nearly Bexy the bar’ds, so I think we did well to catch anything Great result on your blonde well...

Thanks Guys Both plaice were deeply hooked so glad I knew the (Billy) unhooking method Very satisfying to release them unharmed Slowly starting to unlock the secret of regularly catching them ( they’ve been my nemesis for along time ) Gray

Morning So with a friend of mine we hit west chesil for flats and a chance of a ray Conditions were good south/south west wind gusting some heavy squalls coming and going Got to the beach around 1pm ..no tide flow missed low around 11.30 am Baits were coming back untouched by crabs so fairly...
