Cod Fishing, Whiting, Chesil Beach, Dorset With Wayne Hand & Chris Ponsford. Hints, Tips & Advice. 

Thanks for inviting me down ,Wayne ,had a fabulous time ,thanks ,and well done on great video .

You definitely don't need to walk miles to catch on chesil, You had a bit of space and that counts for alot. Great honest video bud and big shout out to dave🎣

Enjoyable video as always. Good to see some honest hints and tips, you’re never too experienced to learn new tricks. Since watching your stuff I’ve picked up some bits that have improved my fishing and tweaked my mindset a little.

Evening bite - this mostly what we get here in New Jersey USA fishing the surf, as well as a pre-dawn/first light bite. 40 years ago we used to get whiting in the winter (January/February), but now, with Global Warming, our water temperatures never get down to those desired by whiting and Tommy Cod. We are, indeed, seeing what used to be tropical fish here at night in the summer (Tarpon, Cobia, Sea Trout) and our Surf Striped Bass season is short, really only early spring (April/May) and late fall (November/December).

Really enjoyed that Wayne and what a good mate you've got there as for reel choice go with what your happy with

Cracking vid mate. I started my fishing career sea boat fishing when I was ten with my uncle. Took a long break and started back shore and rock fishing. Then I went to Trout fishing and caught my first Salmon on the fly fishing the River Tay Two weeks ago. But after watching your vids , I’m gonna try rock fishing again up the north east of Scotland. Wish me luck.

Another great video and some superb shots of the beautiful coastline and sun rise/sets... I am sorry to hear about the problems with your motor but its good to see your positivity and push on with your trip despite the setback... the world is full of so called "experts" who may criticise your casting but dont let them get to you.... thanks again and keep the faith! cheers Nick

Really enjoying your videos Wayne and nothing wrong with your casting 👍🏻 I’m off to chesil for the first time this weekend and looking forward to it….

Myself and the old man fished same point last Wednesday, caught 2 whiting, 6 doggies and 1 strap conger about 3' long. Keep up the great videos, night see you down on Chesil one day.

Good to see you still out n about Pons

Hi Wayne nice video I use a lot lighter line for my rigs at Chesil so I'm going to try heavier line to see how it goes thanks again

I was beside,you to the right . lol loads of bloody whitting lol

Just watching this video, love all your tips and your sense of humour but go easy on the Karen jokes! I’m a Karen from Ireland and a very keen fisherwoman 😊

Nice upload, made me miss fishing Chesil......so as there appears to be a slight weather window on Thursday I will be packing the car up and heading down.

Yet another fantastic Video Wayne and so enjoyable to watch, I notice that you use 100lb/120b rig body but how do you tie you knots i tried a blood knot with 100lb but just dosent work for me. i normaly use 80lb yuki which ties very well .

Great video. I watch Chris a lot on the Korum videos. I live right by Preston/Korum/Avid HQ. It would be great to see him on the bank of one of the waters by me. Keep up the good work 👍

Nice video again 👏🐟wish you was living near my way i would have casting lessons with you 👍

Hi Wayne. What a crap start bud. Enjoy ya videos. Regards Chris

Very enjoyable video Wayne....i like your style dude.

Great video as always very informative as a veteran i very much understand and apply the keep it simple stupid mantra! and you have it exactly right with the squaddie humour right mix of humour and sarcasm there are always the atmosphere hoovers that whaNT to pick at things. I live on Portland maybe meet you on the beach one day and take the p!!!!.

Excellent Video by you both.

Some nice whighting there mate im heading to west bexington tomoz think there's a chance they still be about down that way

Great video. I love using a fixed spool so much less stress and a specially in a head wind .

Nice video as always mate!!! Chris very knowledgeable too!!! Keep up the good work Wayne!! All the best…ian🎣👍

Really enjoyed that Wayne, cheers

Brill video mate..really enjoyed the camera work also..Hope the fishpie was lush..Pete..Bristol👍

Cracking day out mate. Nice guest appearance by that tall handsome bloke 😂😂. Hopefully get down and have another go together soon

Just found your channel, really enjoyed the fishing and camera work. Keep at it mate and thanks for sharing.

Great Video, as far as egg beaters go Shimano are the best but over time you still have line wind up twists and it causes knotting or line twist. I still prefer overhead reels as you don't get line twist or line wind up. Yes overheads do get backlash if you haven't used them in a while but the muscle memory is still there and soon comes back. In Sydney Australia I used to be able to get around 150 metres in a single cast around Milsons Point fishing the harbour with a 13 ft, 7 wrap overhead rod and a abu 7000 reel loaded with 25 lb mono line running a number 2 snapper lead with a metre of 120 lb leader as I used to chase big mulloway on the beaches and in the harbour. Now I'm back in the UK in the midlands no saltwater any where near me.

I was fishing 3 nights ago lost 3 good fish in the surf gutting!

Great vid buddy keep em coming

Cracking vid mate

lol. i was there fishing to chris,s right side

in the summer be prepaired to walk lol came down for a 3 day session in august was a mistake had to walk 3/4 of the way to the teath to find a spot with 3 days worth of gear lol

Love the videos great information coming to Chesil end of January for a weeks fishing so thanks again for all the tips can I ask why 90lb hook snoods generally only use up to 60lbs at most so wondering do I have to beaf up the gear ?

Cracking video 👌👌

hi great vidio as always you come across so well , im a barbel angler who looking to do sea fishing i have been doing home work looking at sea fishing , i have a bait question if cod eat whiting and on vidios there spuing out shrimp a nd prawn why is no one using whiting and prawn wraps its always lug and squid wraps just a thought look forward to your next vidio

Hi your rig choice have a few issues with! that pulley bead is shite it's like a fat arsed woman on a M bike with leg wide apart the bead breaks and when casting tends to spin as not very aero dynamic! if i use a pulley only use the Trident pulley beads as when clipped down is streamlined as lines kept in tight. and as you just found you loose fish as swivels/Tronix beads give no resistance to a taking fish so poor hook ups where as the Trident the line goes in and round top then back out other side so like a bit of figure 8 so fishes more like a paternoster so fish hits bait hooks home but then when under load it will slide weight up like pulley's do. Down there up n overs/Droppers work best i make my droppers not using the pulley bit but with either a trident clip or SRT clip/spring and snood swivel held down rig body by sliding crimp that way if need new hooks just snip off and retye and just adjust tension of snood always releases. Been making Bagnal bar type rigs but in 100lb mono so pulls on mono if get a bite unlike wire. just making some in a streamlined wishbones. Power Aeros Great reels ive them and Aero Techs on Braid PA half price of Aero Techs yet not half the reel! 30 grams in it but PA is stiffer body!. Other reels Fathom 12's fill right to edge tweaked and cast awesome use .30 mono.

Great vid Wayne. How did the squid go on Weymouth?

May I just ask. Don't to much light, put off the fishing. I know a couple of beaches, that too much light, spooks the fish.

Wayne u ever fish Great Yarmouth beachmate carnt stop watching ya videos let menowwhen ya next fishing as need new video😂😂😂😂
