Enjoyed that. I'm almost 80 yrs + old age ailments! now still get out for the odd session. 2 hours only last week Milford Shingle bank. 1 smoothhound 2 doggies 3 large pouting 1 sizeable whiting. For me a great session. Cheers Ian for sharing your video.
Ah lovely to hear from you John!!! So nice to hear that you still get out and can catch some quality fish….well done indeed! I hope that Chris and I will be able to be fishing at your age!! Glad you enjoyed the video thanks for watching!!! Cheers Ian
Brilliant Ian🎣👍 well done on your Cod and what fantastic mixed Species caught love the Red Mullet a great watch as always see you on the next one buddy 👍🎣tight lines
Hi mate nice to hear from you again! Yes the red mullet a real bonus!!! Long odds on catching one in November!! Global warming strikes again! Thanks as ever for watching cheers Ian
@@ianclarkfishing very nice calming video enjoyed it very much great to see such a variety of species caught in one session hope your next one is soon Pete the fish Durham
Hi Pete glad you enjoyed the video!! I’m sure me and chris will be out again soon though this weekend’s weather may mean a few days of household chores unfortunately!!! I love Durham and my mums family all from Chester-le-street and dad went to Durham university!! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment cheers ian
Hi Colin yes though there was good clarity in the water it had a grey look to it which I like…. Fortunately the fish thought so too!! It got harder after dark….too many pout! Thanks for watching cheers Ian
Hi Liam lovely to hear from you…. Yes Chesil can produce lots of different species….last count Chris and I had caught 35 different ones in our many years fishing it!!!! You never know what is coming next!!! Thanks for watching cheers Ian
Great session, what a selection of fish to make a great supper. I had just mentioned to the wife about the leaves still being on our cherry trees, I swear we are a month behind in the season! And I'm not complaining mind🤣👍
Hi again Mike yes red mullet in November very surprising indeed!! The water was still very warm too….. and my bloody grass is still growing!😂 cheers Ian
Hi Gordon nice to hear from you! Very nice to get some different species….some of which were a real surprise!!! Tasty too! Thanks for watching cheers Ian
Codling I think Al!!!!!!😂 Lovely to get such a variety for sure….going to Ferrybridge end paid off for sure even if it’s an extra 20 minutes on the drive! Amazing how just a few miles on the same beach can make such a difference!!! Cheers Ian
Great session guys. Mr Bass never seems to let us down. This is the best time of the year, everything seems to be about. Keep them coming and tight lines to you and all your subscribers.
Hi Andy yes a lovely time of year!! Given the choice I would choose October as my favourite month on Chesil but everything seems later this year…..November is the new October!!!!! Cheers buddy tight lines…Ian
Hi Gary well I think we were lucky to catch it just right. Definitely worth spending time fishing in daylight as after dark there are too many whiting and pout. Thanks again for watching cheers ian
Hi Stephen yes very unexpected I must say…we have fished in much more promising conditions without much success at all so it was very pleasing to catch what we did!!! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment cheers Ian
Hi Charlie great to hear from you again…. Very tasty fish weren’t they!!! Yum yum!!! We don’t keep much but those were too nice to pop back!! Cheers Ian
Hi Gareth yes I was very surprised to see the summer species still about…I guess the next big storm will see them disappear for another year! The red mullet was a huge bonus we don’t catch many of them at all! Cheers Ian
Hi Derek it was a complete surprise to catch such a variety. Having caught virtually nothing but whiting the previous week I expected more of the same but what do i know!!!😂😂 It really is a strange beach to fish!! Cheers Ian
Definitely you should Gary regardless of how it fishes it’s always an enjoyable and exhilarating time!!! If you go let me know how you get on!!!! Cheers Ian
Cheers Ian. Great vid. Funny story... we were looking at the old family phone book the other day for a trip down memory lane...remember the days when mobiles didn't exist? Your name and home number was on there.... my old man must have grabbed in mid trout session down Blagdon lake! Bald, dentist. Apparently was a poor end to the season down there this year. Tight lines as always. Harry
Hi again Anthony lovely to hear from you! That’s the beauty of Chesil I think….it can kick you in the balls one trip then next time rewards you!!! I’m sure I will never figure it all out!!! Cheers Ian
Yes a nice mix of fish, especially for this time of year which was a very pleasant surprise!! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment cheers Ian
Well, what a session! Incredible to get so many species so late in the year, and another fine video, you’re getting better at putting them together, it’s good to see. I’ve just finished working up the river and managed to get out a couple of days ago, but there’s not been much of a sea running so things were quiet, but I’ll let you know how I get on.
Hi mate yes everything is about a month late this year I think. Normally October is the best all round time for summer and winter species but this time it’s November!!! The sea still warm and we’ve not had big autumn storms yet to drive the summer species away! I’m sure the fishing your way will improve soon! Keep me posted cheers ian
Ha ha there are a lot better anglers on Chesil than us but they keep it all to themselves I think!! I’m happy to share our experiences and hopefully give some enjoyment to people!! Thanks again for watching cheers Ian
Well you little tinker you have done it again with another cracking video. Great to see so many species. Clearly a wise move to fish further to the east. Could you ask Chris if he could speak up a little so we can hear his observations. Stay safe and tight lines. Mike.
Hi Mike yes a good call to move a few miles from last week! I have asked Santa for a new GoPro as mine is showing signs of old age and as you noticed the audio is not great! For November amazed to see bream gurnard and red mullet! Lovely to hear from you again take care mate cheers Ian
Yes indeed….low expectations = great result!! Sometimes I think you concentrate more and fish better when you have time constraints. Thanks again for watching cheers Ian
Hi Ian, I was fishing Dragons at the same time and yes, Whiting, Whiting, Grey Gurnard, larger Whiting at dusk and Dogfish at night. Lots of fun. Being there I know the wind was onshore, possible slight bias to Ferrybridge direction so the bay could have been holding them. I saw a lure angler work the Chesil bank and seem to be into Bass about 200 yards in your direction. I had to go at 6pm for a ladened crunch back to the carpark but I do like fishing Chesil and it's a change from being constantly pushed back by the BC 😀 Tight lines.
Hi paul nice to hear from you! Well your story is interesting….I too was plagued by whiting at Abbotsbury last week. Though we caught some at Ferrybridge I think it was only 3. Fishing was better before dark as the pout were a real nuisance in darkness. Like you we love chesil but it will be the BC next week for us! Cheers Ian
@@ianclarkfishing It was very busy and slow on the 12M tide! Doggies and Rays to other anglers casting at distance. I kept mine in for slow water. Had one take that felt like a ray but couldn't land it! Kept going to ground. Felt like I was well and truly snagged but it moved! Talking about ground, almost lost my leads in the slow sinking sand. It's a nice place to fish but with the combination of heavy lead, sinking sand, moving ever 5 minutes it's demanding for sure. Only place I know where a lead balloon would be well received. Must be some firm ground alternatives as productive close by. My search continues...
Went to Angling Direct today and they were sold out of tripods with 7 people on the queue holding to asking for them. Drove to premier angling and managed to get one they had also sold loads that day. Apparently it’s because of your videos.
Really?? I find that hard to believe but it’s lovely so many anglers are watching them and hopefully it’s inspired a few new people to start fishing!!! Thanks for the info keep watching!!! Cheers ian
Hi Mikey lovely to hear from you!!! My wife calls it my tw#t so I’ve definitely had it called worse!😂😂😂 So pleased that you are enjoying the videos…thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Cheers ian
Very good varied fish session, like you say "so late in the year" global warming maybe? By the way did i see an abu suravan rod in the film, if so i have one and love it for a lighter alternative to my old zzipy xtr and it cast nearly as far.
Hi Fred lovely to hear from you!! I’m sure global warming is having some effect on our seas ….and not necessarily for the good!! Do you mean my rods? I use Penn rampage surf 15’9” continental type rods and Chris uses AFAW rods so unfortunately not an Abu in sight! So pleased you enjoyed the video thanks for watching and taking the time to comment cheers ian
Hi David glad you enjoyed the video! Yes size 2 hooks not 2/0. Sakuma mantra is what I used…. Good strength …. I will go bigger at night or when I feel the big cod or smoothound are about!!! Cheers Ian
Exactly…..small enough to get bream, plaice etc but meaty enough for the bigger ones! Fishing with larger hooks means certain species are virtually unhookable!
Hi Kevin I’m sure global warming must have some influence! More bream and smoothound than I can remember, fewer cod and red mullet in November…..crazy!!!! And my grass in the garden is still bloody growing!!! 😂😂 cheers Ian
Hi Kevin i see you have twice tried to comment on the latest video...unfortunatley it doesnt let me access your words or let me reply?? This occurs very rarely and im not sure why? If you reply via this message it should work or maybe you have done something slightly differently this time? As you know i always try and reply to everyone!!! Sorry but out of my control!!! Cheers Ian
Hi Kevin....Houston we have a problem!!! I can see you have added comment to this thread but again all i can see is the first few words and cannot read all the message or reply to it. Are you using a different device for your last 3 comments than you did on the previous video?? I can't figure it out as i can reply to every other persons!!! I havent blocked you honest!!!
@@ianclarkfishing Third time lucky,not sure what's going on.I don't have any problem with my comments else where on here using my mobile.This is on my laptop to see if it makes any difference !!
Hi Gavin yes I use a relatively short pulley…Chris uses even shorter hook length! Hooks are Sakuma mantra size 2 ….. line for rigs is Sakuma shock leader 60lb 0.7mm. Seems a bit heavy but it stands away from rig body and doesn’t tangle. Lighter hook lengths like 25lb amnesia etc just seem to tangle. By using a clinch knot 3 turns you can still thread worms over the knot without bursting them. Cheers Ian
