With the sun shining, i decided to take the trip to chesil yesterday for the 1st time this year . Plan was to fish cogden from low to high in the hope of a plaice or ray . Once i got down there i realised getting a plaice was gonna be hard work the water was still very dirty with lots of weed and some large debri floating in it . Im sure i saw the roof of a beach hut float by . I failed on both targets only managed a few pout and a couple of eels for my troubles. I fished a spot i usually fish but after these storms i couldn't find the clay beds that are normally there .I did try out my new century rucksack for the 1st time and can confirm its a great bit of kit , very comfortable with plenty of room for everything needed for a day on the beach .
Good luck to anyone out this weekend.
 
Well done Reevsey! At least you had a few out after a fairly long drive. 🎣🎣👍👍
 
Nice one Reevsey, Pout and eels better than a blank mate, and no snapped rod.. ;)

Walked the footpath behind with Ted Saturday, its complete devastation behind there. When the sea came through the bank its "salted" everything behind.
The pic below is the breach, the debris is about seven foot up in the trees!.
If anyone is considering walking along the back the not all access points are still there they are still inundated.
