Sea Match Fishing UK. 22nd June Match of the 2024 Southern League and Open from Cogden, Chesil Beach. Summer fishing in great weather, but its always a tough match venue. Take a look at The Shore Hunter on RU-vid / theshorehunter
Sorry to hear about Mike, i didn’t know him personally but im sure plenty do and will be missed. Regards to the family. Chesil is not a beach that excites me and doubt if I will ever fish it. Maybe if I was driving past but don’t think that would ever happen. Certainly see some nice fish come out at times but then you do all around the coast.
Chesil is an exciting venue and the scenery is great. You could get a fix of a life time, there are so many different species there, but you are just as likely to blank.
Nice fishing video enjoying the lovely scenery and the background that you showed us you had a few fish well done. 👍🐟 And some lovely words about mike rose👏
We were up at Cogden and I did not see any fishing rubbish on the beach. But cogden is difficult to get to so I suspect the Portland end, abbotsbury and west bexington which have closer car parks are worse.
What a work up, I can fish and chessil always has been a chuck and chance place, I knew a bloke that could hardly fish catch 54 codling in 1 session there years ago! Rip too the old fella.
Chesil will throw up some great catches, but compared to the number of people fishing it, it is not as good as some people think. They only see the reports of big fish or big catches, not about all the people that blank.
Well thats a very good point. During a match all I think about is the fishing, what to do next, what are other people doing, etc. Its very tiring in a way, but also relaxing and good for stress relief, as I am not thinking about work, or jobs that need doing at home, it is total escapism. There are groups that take people fishing who are suffering from stress, PTSD, addiction and other conditions. It takes your mind away from all those real world issues, even if it is for only a few hours. Being on a beach at midnight with only the sound of the waves is a great feeling. Maybe sometimes fishing is just an excuse to be there. Thanks for watching.
Dogfish love sandell. They don’t link elastic. So put lots of elastic on. You will still get some but it should reduce the numbers. Unfortunately dogfish will eat just about anything.
