15.9.22

chesil. 11pm-middayish

plan was for the main chesil center carpark , but the new limit of 10 hours parking pissed me off. it was late and dark and i didnt feel like walking . so up n over i went to find a quiet beach.

the new easytide format is anoying as can never see easily if its a spring or a neap, moon looked to be 3/4 waneing, .
wind was north or n/w & moderate, sea state was pretty flat but as i left a nice chopp had started with the wind going more westerly. high tide was for about 10pm so i fished down and back up again.

rigs were pullys and a dropper with smaller hooks.

baits were :- manky squid. sandeel. black lug. preserved rag. & fresh mackerel in the morning.

first cast yealded a pout but darkness was slow , next was a mico huss then a bootlace conger with no more fish till dawn after the tide had turned. had a good pull down and a great fight from what turned out to be a large cuttle , i nearly named it bait as i did the pouting but let it go fortunately it didnt ink me.

found a few mackerel which topped up my bait & gave me something for the pot.

towards high tide a nice black bream fell to my hooks. spordically followed by two more.

final score - bootlace conger./pout./ 4 mackerel./ 3 bream. still cant find the rays.

Bloody annoying that if you want to do a long session, however you can get more hours on one of those apps. Can't remember which one but its displayed on the parking notices (may be just park). I paid for 24 hrs parking (£10) which is the same as for 10hrs parking if you use the machine! Unless its changed in the meantime?

£10! I did it yesterday and will try and put up a report later.

 

[Mr Fish]

Good report Gordon, we’ll done, at least you hit a few fish - wasn’t much to see there last night!

 

[squidword]

Nice report. Not a great time of year for the rays down there, maybe except for the undulates, but it does seem very quiet on the Ray front.

 

[bananas]

Great report and pics mate, well done on catching, parking's a bloody pain there.

 

[Tatunka joe]

Glad the beach was quiet for you. And the fishing a bit busier. Parking for anglers, as gods walking amongst men,should be free!

That’s what I love about Guernsey. Buy a parking disc for a few quid then park anywhere. (Well, in the designated spots and some have a time limit, but not the out of town ones by the fishing marks).
