South Coast Chesil...... hard work.

A few of us had a go at West Chesil last Saturday, conditions were pretty good bait was epic fishing was poor!.
The whiting have now moved into West Chesil which was evident from a couple of triple shots and a general trcikle of the little effers all day a few decent ones amongst them.
There were odd decent fish along the central stretch including a couple of cod one about 6 one about 8.5 and Jase found an undie and a plaice.
We put in a lot of rod hours it was basically 12 rods for 12 hours which is 144 rod hours for nothing special and I cannot remember such an unproductive group session on Chesil in October so generally pretty dissapointing.
Its odd we have had a few really good sessions then on similar conditions have struggled lately I reckon it needs a really good stir up!.
Interesting to see online that a a couple of guys had an epic session on the rays down east....... maybe thats the plan lets go and see if we can do half as well as those guys!.
It was a great day out and to see old mates on the shingle in the sunshine is never a bad way to spend a Saturday but a few fish would not have gone amiss!.

Although not up to your usual catch rate it's good to hear of a couple of cod being caught. Big tides this weekend may stir things up a bit.
