This is the last fishing mark in the series for Chesil Beach.
This fishing mark is the first mark on the beach heading from West Bay towards Portland.
There is Fresh water coming onto the beach here which is something I always like and find that it can add a bit of diversity to the beach, improving [...]

This is the latest to come from the ABU collection. This fishing reel really winds in the line at an amazing 6:3 to 1 ratio.
For those of you who don’t understand, for every turn of the handle the spool will turn 6.3 times. The amount of line that winds in depends on how much is [...]

This is 5/6 piece fishing rod depending on whether you have the 7ft or 8 ft version, comes in 10lb to 50lb class so you can have a rod for Bass fishing or Conger fishing and it will fit in your bag to take with you where ever you want. They say it fits inside [...]

Kayak fishing is the largest growth market in Kayak sales currently, why is this?
Well fishing has stayed so similar for so many years. You would get your rod and head to the local beach or pier and go fishing, casting your line into the water that hundreds of people before you have done. The marks [...]

There is a wealth of fishing tackle available for the angler interested in this avenue of sea angling - spinning
Spinning is my favorite method of catching fish. You really need to hunt the species down, take time over where you are going to go fishing, look at what they are feeding on, use lures right [...]

In my opinion probably the best plug maker on the market – Rapala Plugs
Looking at the Rapala web site they write about the first Rapala ever made in the 1930’s, by a Finnish man who whittled a piece of cork down with a knife to imitate an injured minnow. He caught bags of fish on [...]

Cogden is towards the western end of Chesil beach, not far from West Bay.
Again a popular destination for shore anglers, but it seems that it has not fished as well as it might over the past few years.
There tends to be a lot of spider crab activity at this section of Chesil beach, so regular [...]

West Bexington was the first mark on Chesil I remember fishing.
In the summer there can be hundreds of people fishing this mark and you may have to walk along way to find a spot.
Mackerel, Dogfish, Dabs, Pout can be caught with the odd Ray and the occasional Red Mullet in warmer summers. Winter species include [...]

The Dragons teeth is a mark for the fitter angler. Its about 20mins walk on fine shingle left (towards the east) along Chesil beach from Abbotsybury.
The teeth are WWII tank traps and I understand you cannot fish the other side as it’s a protected area.
This area of the beach has fished very well in the [...]

I promised when I was writing about my recent kayak fishing trip that I would show you what happens when you show off and don’t stow your rods when landing your kayak. Well here goes, they are not the best pictures but you can see clearly the rod is now 8 inches shorter!!
