Bob F Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 Adam and I are planning to chuck a few rods from the beach at Abbotsbury on Friday evening. If anyone else wants to join in you're are welcome. Prize for the smallest pout [cus I usually win that!]. Weather permitting of course. Not going if it's peeing down. Bob F Quote
Bob F Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Posted January 5, 2005 Hmmm!!! Just had a look at the forecast for Friday. SSW 8-10!!!! and rain. Hold down your hatches! BF Quote
Coddy Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 Hmmm interesting I am off to Dungeness on Saturday for an all night session with some old friends I have never blanked there .............. but this is always a first time Regards Coddy Quote
Swainiac Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 bob, some guidance please, I have a cheap beachcaster, and also use one of my uptiders for flattie fishing from the beach, would this do at Chesil?? If the trip is on, I'd love to venture out with u guys, what are the baits required?? Rich........and I expect I would blank!!!!!!! <ggg> Quote
Bob F Posted January 6, 2005 Author Report Posted January 6, 2005 Rich, both will be ok on the chesil during an evening session because the fish come closer in. I've caught my biggest fish just 10-20 yds out, which even you should be capable of reaching. Rag, lug (if you can get it) and squid is what you need. Be prepared for a bit of a hike across the peebles, so don't overload yourself. Tip lights for your rods are very useful. I've got a spare rod stand if you need one. At night I prefer using big fixed spool reels rather than multipliers, but its up to you. cheers BF Quote
Swainiac Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 Bob, I have a rod stand, beach buddy and all that caper, tip lights, fixed spools and small multipliers, so if that is all that is reqd...I could well be interested!! see you tonight Rich Quote
Adam F Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 If the weather is too windy for chesil, anything over a 4 SW, I will probably have a bash either off Southborne, or more likey Evening Hill, tides depending. Quote
alun j. Posted January 6, 2005 Report Posted January 6, 2005 Hey Bob, Is this fishing deprived madness?? Chesil in a SW storm .....at night?? Have you seen those 'mini-tsunami' surges that move the pebbles from under your feet?? Put a big stake into the shingle, well up the beach ........ and tie yourself to it with some rope!! and hang on as you get tossed about !! I'd be surprised if any fishing would be possible ....... but good luck !! I'm going to be adventurous and try to dig some worms on Sat. afternoon. Cheers, Alun. Quote
Swainiac Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 I believe we've given this one a rain check!! On the subject of worms, how deep are they at present?? Regards, Rich Quote
Deep Sea Dean Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 Apparantly digging worms at the moment is a bit of a mare. They are spawning at the mo making them hard to dig as they fall apart on first contact leaving a nice green gooey mess. most people i have talked to even dragging on a boat are finding it a bit difficult.

Bob F Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Posted January 7, 2005 Even I'm not daft enough to go out today Alun. Yes, we're giving it a rain check. BF Quote
