Trip #101 - Chesil Cove
I had been reading all week that Rays and Hounds were about and
popping up all along Chesil, so knowing that I was going to hit the beach for a
few hours on Friday night meant I was buoyed with enthusiasm! I’m still at the
stage of giddy anticipation when it comes to picking a location to go fishing along
this shoreline, but I made the decision early on to try out Chesil Cove.
Although this location supposedly fishes better in the summer and autumn, I was
hoping to catch a few and if not, at least I was wetting a line.

Trip #100 - A Dog's Tale...
After
bringing some beachcasters and multipliers back from South Wales I’d decided to
get out and give them a go. As I’d said previously, fishing in the day takes
away from spending time with the little one, so a lot of my trips will be
evening and on in to the night. Chesil beach is so vast, I had no idea where I
would try my luck for this session. I had heard Seatown was throwing up some
Plaice, but the previous days wind had meant the clarity in the water was reduced.
A bit of toing and froing and I resolved to go to Abbottsbury.

Trip #99 - Pootlin' Around Portland
It’s been a long time since I’ve managed to get out on the
bank or beach. So long that when we recently moved house my rod tubes and
holdall’s had developed elaborate spider’s web decorations. My seat box had
been yet again ravaged by mice (they seem to like the foam), and I found what
looked like a hibernating hornet nestled in between my landing net and keepnet
bags. This didn’t make the journey to the new house... I hate Wasps and
Hornets. Bees can crack on, Wasps and their even angrier cousins. No thanks.
It’s been a crazy busy few months; house moving eats time… and money. But now
slowly the dust is beginning to settle and I found I had the chance to get out
for an early morning session on Portland. My wife, the little’un and I had been
down there on Easter weekend, and the ledges screamed fish. So I had to get
down there and give them a bash.
