Chesil Beach 18-12-16

Trundled down Weymouth way

Yesterday, arriving at 

Chesil  Bait and Tackle

at 12.00.

Jason and Hannah arrived 5 minutes later.

With a shed load of bait

we tootled down to the shingle

and were fishing by 13.00.

My first fish was this Coalie???

Yes a Coalie from the shore

a FIRST and a P.B. as well.

 It was a real learning curve for me.

Thanks to Jason's 

patience and advice I soon learnt

 the tricks to fishing this spot.

 Jason was surprised at the drop

from the top of the second shelf

to sea level.

It had changed drastically

since the week before.

The actual fishing slow,

however it was frantic compared

to the Severn Estuary / Bristol Channel. 

 

It was warm and overcast

wit out any wind.

The only sign of the sun

was at sunset.

 Other fish caught were

Pouting and Doggies.

 Baits used were

Squid, Mackerel, Hermit Crab

Frozen Black Lug and Rag

Pulley rigs were the order of the day.

We fished 4 hours down

and 3 up.

Wow what a cracking trip.

Luckily the fog was not 

as bad as forecasted.

So the journey down

and back were clear.

Roll on 31-12-16

for a family session down there.
