South Coast Chesil.... Best trip for a while.

[squidword]

Set up in very difficult conditions, hard work, with a very strong North wind. Rain, sun and a bit of thunder. Steady fishing on the ebb, single plaice every few chucks, slack water brought spiders and lost hooks. As soon as the first trickle of the flood started it all kicked off, double and triple shots of plaice, then other species to add variety. Missed a huge slack line bite, then next cast a double figure hound on size 4 hooks. Hooked and lost what I think we're 2 very good eels through bite offs. Finally tally was 34 plaice, double hound, thornback Ray, red mullet, tub Gurnard, whiting, pout, dog and to top it all a donkey of a sole (2lb2oz). Packed up exhausted, still catching plaice at midnight! All fish fell to either lug or rag on size 4s.

Do you reckon this Sat eve tide is worth a pop at your usual....

Tides building but southerly wind may push weed in. Also still be light at high tide and if dry and reasonably warm beach could still be busy. Couldn’t fish last trip till about 9.30pm as swimmers and paddle boarders everywhere. Was ok last week with high being 2.40am. If it is raining then you’d probably be ok!
