Ian fishes a session in very windy conditions followed two days later by a days fishing with Chris and John in much calmer conditions with great result!!
Guy's another pleasurable watch, good mixed bag again. Let's hope the schoolies are a good sign for future years. Hope you're on the road to recovery Ian you seemed as though you are. Best wishes as always Chris.
Hello again Chris I took it nice and easy on the walk very tired the following day but improved health for sure. I always enjoy catching bass regardless of the size … definitely a lot more about in recent years I think. As always thanks for your support it’s much appreciated cheers ian
You’re definitely right about the walk but it usually pays dividends!!! Just takes a couple of days to recover at my age now unfortunately!!! Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video cheers ian
Ah Chris that’s great the weather fantastic for tomorrow plenty of lug and fish into darkness if you can!!! Tight lines mate have a great day cheers ian

Hi again mate lovely to hear from you!! So glad you enjoyed the video….both my balls are made of flesh and blood thankfully 😂😂😂 stay safe mate cheers ian
Enjoyable video, as usual, glad to see you “fit and well” nice varied sessions on the big beach, seems to be my brother in laws and mine Nemesis, for some reason! But we keep trying Go Steady and I look forward to the next one two
Hi Derek!!! I wouldn’t say I’m totally fit yet…. That was a very slow walk there and back to our mark!! It’s a very strange beach I would say we get one good session every 4 trips but it keeps calling us back for more punishment!!! Stay safe mate cheers ian
Hi Mike weather looks brilliant for tomorrow plenty of lug is the answer I hope you have a great day!! Worth fishable few hours into dark if you can stay that late!!!! Tight lines cheers ian
Great video again , well done . Brilliant sessions over the two days , I really must try and get down there again soon but I fear i've had my lot now for this year until the spring, tight lines mate.
Hi Alan thanks I’m glad you enjoyed watching it! Shame you can’t get down in the next few weeks as it’s fishing very well!! There’s always the smoothound in May to look forward to and they get bigger every year! Cheers ian
Great to see you and the boys back out on the mighty Chesil Ian, cracking session you gents had on the Saturday. Looking forward to your next video mate 👍
Hi Ken lovely to hear from you. Well chesil is a big beach mate plenty of room for everyone and I’m always happy if a bit of advice helps others catch! Thanks very much for watching much appreciated cheers ian
Hi lan ... Good to see you back out again looking a lot stronger mate. Really enjoyed this video good mixed bag and target species achieved ... Take care guys and thanks for sharing 👍🎣🎣

Hi buddy lovely to hear from you again fish definitely a bonus on a nice day but it’s always nice to get a few for tea!! Glad the Humber showing a few cod too!!! Stay safe tight lines cheers ian
Hi ian you ok pal, cheers 4 the vid nice one. Well done on you all managing a codling.hope your health iz ok. One day i will get on the mighty chesil hopefully. My last 2 sessions on the humber it was 2 good whiting of 36cm n last session, sat managed 3 whiting all about the same stamp. I don't mind when there that size. I hope theres going to be a good run of codling coming up the river. All the best ian and chriss from GRIMSBY.
Hi again Carl lovely to hear from you again! Those are cracking whiting we should get some arriving on Chesil soon too! I’m not a great fan but Chris loves them 🙄. You must come down one November and sample the fishing! Still waiting as you are in the Bristol Channel for the codling to arrive hopefully soon! Take care mate tight lines cheers ian
Thanks Kevin nice to hear from you again I just took the walk really slow and steady! I expected cod in the wind and not in the calm… like you said fishing can be strange at times!! Cheers ian
Hello again lovely to hear from you! Yes it’s the best cod fishing since 2016 and there should be some big ones about in the next few weeks! Thanks for watching cheers ian
Another great video covering 2 trips just goes to show fishing rough weather for cod on chesil not always produces. Keep the videos coming il be there in a few weeks time weather permitting.
Hi Gary yes I would definitely have expected more cod in the rough sea than on the flat calm….. have a great trip when you visit!!! Chance of a big cod for sure!! Thanks for watching cheers ian
Great video (as always) - heading to Abbotsbury tomorrow, so fingers crossed there are some fish left - Great to still see the bream / gurnard around as well as the cod !! Good to see you back to full strength !
Weather looks fantastic tomorrow I have left a few for you!!! I fished size 1 hooks so you can catch anything out there as long as they strong in the wire! Have a great trip 👍🎣 cheers ian
@@ianclarkfishing Thanks - had a great session , with 9 species caught (Dogfish, bream, tub gurnard, conger, cod, whiting, pout, scad and mackerel) ... best days fishing for a long time, made the long walk well worth it. Also managed to land a hermit crab !!
Yes John isn’t it lovely to see them! After a few barren years this looks like it’s shaping up to be a great season for them!!!! Thanks for watching cheers ian
Lovely stuff Ian. I'm heading down in a couple of weeks if the weather plays ball. Seems to be a fair number of smaller codling about down there this year.
Yes loads of 2lb fish very tasty just had some tonight!!! Chances of a bigger fish in next 4 weeks too….definitely need blow or black lug… that will catch the bream too! Have a great time cheers ian
Another really enjoyable video, great fishing from beautiful Chesil. I had planned to come down for 4 days early this month but it didn't happen due to work and family health issues. Now planning to head down the week of the 31st October to 4th November, do you think it's still worth it or will Codling have gone by then? Really glad to see you're back to full health now.
Definitely worth the trip mate!! Codling should still be about plus all the summer species too!!! Bring lugworm for sure plus some rag if weather is settled! Good luck!! Glad you enjoyed the video cheers ian
hi ian and chris a good couple of sessions there ian just proves you never know whats going to happen . good to see your well ian see you soon mate take care all
Another great video. Always look froward to your uploads . Some lovely fish. Gonna make the long drive from South wales on Wednesday to abbotsbury. Never been before. Does it fish OK on a small south westerly wind?
Hi Alex lovely to hear from you! Perfect for Wednesday!! Walk as Far East as you can manage for best fishing!! Definitely lugworm the bait!!!! Fish into night if you can for a few hours cheers ian
Well that’s fine early November the bream still about especially at Ferrybridge end we caught them December last year. Plus better chances of a big cod too!!! Glad you enjoyed the video thanks for watching cheers ian
Fascinating video. I fished Abbotsbury on Saturday like you but in the opposite direction from the car park. My colleague and I fished for 15 hours at various ranges and had 2 bites - no fish landed. The one big difference I believe is that you had lug for bait, we had rag, squid and mackerel. The rag were probably farmed and I have little faith in it. I will have to source some lug and make the effort to walk a good distance like yourselves. Do you consider the water to be a little deeper where you fish ? Regards, Kevin
Hi Kevin lovely to hear from you! I fish rag with confidence if it’s quality except when cod are the target species. All my smoothound and most of my bream have been on rag usually tipped with squid in size 2 hooks. For cod definitely blow lug or fresh/ frozen blacks strong size 2 or 1 hooks tipped with squid. With regards the walk it’s definitely worth it the fishing 30 minutes walk east from the teeth is so much better and yes deeper water/ stronger tide pull. Hopefully that helps cheers ian
The fish are definitely a bonus fishing such a wild and beautiful place as Chesil but it is always nice to get a few!!😂😂 thanks for watching Shaun much appreciated cheers ian
Oh dear Ryan that’s a shame but we did catch the majority of fish from dusk onward. It’s definitely better the further from the teeth you walk!! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment cheers ian
Hi mark I assure you that they all swam away safely… it wasn’t possible to get much closer on first day because there was a big run up the beach!! I’m always careful with returning fish I’m not keeping. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment cheers ian
nice session when you run out of bait ,nice long vid to ian ,having a few fish makes the day worth while . did you notice some thing bob up in the sea just over the tacklebox on i think it was johns back at 22,57., keep the vids coming mate ATB les
Couldn’t see anything mate my eyesight is shit!!! A tuna maybe? 😂 A special long video just for you Les just don’t expect them every time!!! Stay safe mate cheers ian
Hi Terry lovely to hear from you. Unfortunately Bella passed away earlier this year she was 17…. I scattered her ashes at the dragons teeth at Abbotsbury. I myself was ill in august… out of the blue I had multiple clots on both lungs plus pneumonia which was terrible … fortunately I survived and am getting slowly better so the videos have been a bit scarce recently. Hopefully more to come in the near future! Thanks for watching cheers ian
