My self and prob what looked like half the south of England I decided Chesil was my choice of venue. Left midday with the plan to pick up some rag to bulk out the few wraps of fresh blacks I had and head back west, my thinking being abbo onwards would be packed with everyone chasing the cod.
Arrived at a quiet Cogden car park realised I pack to much crap in my box and being yo lazy to take out four of the six reels in me box proceeded to walk the footpath behind the beach and out the gate and walk back a bit. Had bites from the off getting double shots and singles of small codling around the pound mark on loop rigs. About and hour or so before high was reeling in another fish to see thus little beaut.
After that nice surprise a steady stream of pout, dogs and small codling along with a couple of hours of weed in the water.
Just before high changed over to a 3 hook sole rig on one with size 6 hooks with either blacks or rag. Had another sole same size as the first no pic had a bite on tother rod at time. Sent the sole rig back out and a few minutes later a small rattle bite thinking more pout started to reel in and a good weight on the end suddenly woke up and decided it wanted to make an issue of things in the back wash next decent wave and some persuasion and this fella appeared.
coming in a fart over 5lb and lip hooked. Happy with that bites continued but after pout number oh ffs not another I called it a wrap. Glad I went down east now plenty of room to yourself.
