[Tatunka joe]

Have watched lure anglers land plenty of bass whilst I've been cod fishing in October. You seem to get more gars mackerel and bass this time of year on chesil, as long as conditions allow. Most of the lure anglers I see use a white fish type lure, with a paddle type tail.

 

[Leepip]

Thxs Mate got Few lures like that here in the Box

 

[Where’s Wally]

FBM, zonk sw are standard fare for Chesil as it’s deep and snag free, but just about any lure will catch there, depending on the state of the sea/weather etc.
it’s certainly great fun and allows you to roam after the bass, rather than waiting for them to come to you

 

[Trampster]

Nearly always take a Lure rod if bait fishing. Bait up & cast out the big rods, then have a few casts with a lure for Mackerel or whatever, until the bait on the big rods needs refreshing.

I've got couple Small jigs which I know work well for Pollack is it Worth putting these in Guys just Trying to cover every option

Look good to me Lee - if there's no Pollock about, they might find you some fresh Mackerel for bait.

 

[Leepip]

Well there's 2 14ft Penn Tidal xtr Beach Rods a Shimano exsage heavy Travel 2.7m lure Rod and Abu Carp 2.5lb Rod in the Holdall so Bait, lure Float or Feather covered

 

[Leepip]

Fresh Mackerel be great only a Few do me I intend to be out Every Morning early and Mrs wants to go one Evening with Me so that's a Bonus

 

[squidword]

There's a big reef and rough ground east of the river at freshwater, might be worth exploring but beware of the cliffs!

 

[Leepip]

Will give that Try probably worth Trying jigs and Floatfished live Ragworm over that and Try find where the Sand clean Ground meets the Reef try encourage few fish off the Reefs on the Beach Rods they Only Small Tides so not Sure how far it push me back up the Beach

 

[squidword]

I'm not sure how far you'll be pushed back? Not fished it for years but it used to hold some half decent congers (had them to 26lb) huss to around 9lb and lots of smallish wrasse. You also get the odd decent flounder to 2lb odd near to the river. This area definitely holds bass, but then again they are all the way along anyways...
