    Wots yer biggest cod ??

    Best cod Oddly I can only recall a few details about catching this one. It was probably in my first year of beach fishing before I kept records. Definitely at west bexington & I was pretty shocked to catch it. Not big in comparison to some but I’ve never caught another that big since...

    Bass rod

    Thanks for the advice. As you say it seems to be the lightest way to travel & try to fish at key times plus would probably be better exercise for me. Gave it a go last year but until I get a few fish it’s hard to leave the other gear behind. Good luck getting the knees fixed will tap you up for...

    Bass rod

    Good point. Better to plan to cover all options & try to be flexible on arrival or during the session even if it means a change of approach or venue and a trip back to the car. That’s the tricky part for me it’s too easy to turn up & sit in the same spot each week with the same method rather...

    Bass rod

    Bass fishing rod So still yet to wet a line this year. For the first time since being diagnosed eight years ago Parkinson’s disease owned me this winter rather than the other way around. That and the passing of my father have meant a bleak winter. As I m sure it does for many of you in...

    A reflection from fishing this year, what are your targets for the next?

    Fishing hopes 2025 Having coarse fished as a kid up until about 17 when discovering alcohol & the opposite sex proved to be of greater importance I always vowed to return to it some day. On being diagnosed with Parkinsons disease , at the ripe old age of 45, eight years ago I realised that...

    Number of rods and hooks

    At this time of year often at chesil when not busy used to stick out a third rod with a whole sardine or mackerel half on a pulley rig for chance of a big eel. Usually fish a single hook pulley or dropper with squid then a 2 or 3 hook flapper with various baits. More recently have struggled to...

    South West Should have stayed in bed 🙄

    Well another good read Mr Fish conjured up images of Wallace & gromit “the wrong trousers film“. At the start. At least you caught. Know where you are coming from on the health side of things it’s hard going. Hope spring arrives early for you there’s only one problem though. You know what the...

    South Coast West Bexington 24/1/24

    Yes as the waves break close to the shore they crash down and deposit shingle on top of your line unless you can keep rod tip high & cast far enough to pass over the breakers., have also heard it referred to as line dump. Picked up a great tip on here a few years ago, possibly from chesil Pete...
