Hi Danny lovely to hear from you again! It’s a nice beach to fish, relatively easy except in high wind and close to home too! Bring on the cod!!! Cheers Ian
Good to see so many bass around. I would like to think that the efforts anglers have made over the past 4o odd years have gone a great way to conserve the species. I haven't kept one for over 10 years now. The bigger ones especially - They are the breeding stock and should all be returned. Great video. Well done you guys.
Hi Kerry lovely to hear from you! Yes we have noticed a vast improvement in the bass fishing in recent years! Like you we very rarely keep any…. As we get older virtually all our fish go back these days ! I didn’t always do that but I love seeing them swim off now! Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for taking the time to comment! Cheers Ian
Hi mate lovely to hear from you! Well I could put out a video of a blank I had a few weeks ago but it would be terrible viewing!😂 cheers stay safe tight lines..Ian
Hello again Michael yes those days are rare and to be cherished! I’m sure we will look back on theses videos with fondness when we are in our old age!! Until then there are a lot more fishing days to create more memories!! Cheers Ian
Another good session, (well done Chris for that big bass!) Another good video. I hope the fishing picks up on Chesil and I look forward to watching the next video from there. All the best to you both.
Hi mate the fishing locally is better than Chesil at the moment!! We need a few days of big wind to stir it up then hopefully the cod and bass will move in! Hope all is ok with you! Take care and tight lines cheers ian
Hi Gareth well we do have blanks too but they don’t make great viewing!😂 Chris and I been fishing there nearly 35 years now many times each year so hopefully we know what we are doing!! Tight lines cheers ian
Hi paul there are more bass here than I can ever remember….. ten or so years ago we caught a few every year but numbers have gone up so much!! Shame it’s not the same for the cod! Cheers Ian
Hi again paul he fished very well indeed! Mind you he is very very old so we let him enjoy himself when he can!😂 thanks as always for watching cheers ian
Hi Ian. Yet again another great video. Nice to see Chris getting some nice fish. Hoping to get over to Chesil myself next week. A few mackerel down here in Cornwall at the minute and still getting some nice pollock. The north coast is fishing really well at the minute compared to the south coast where I am. Take care mate and keep the videos coming.
Hi mark lovely to hear from you again! The mackerel have been very scarce on our Chesil trips this year! We off to Chesil in a few days too it should start to fish better in the coming weeks! October my favourite month! Cheers Ian
Yes Chris fished very well! Chesil should be approaching it’s best next few weeks hopefully we can catch something worthwhile to put on video! Cheers Ian
I was down the week of the 16th of august had a beautiful bass 1st cast on squid and mackerel up towards the fun fair and lost a few to I also got weeded up like I was carp fishing back in the shire I had rough seas low tides though
Hi Ian, I have always enjoying watching your videos, I could tell you are very experienced and I love the friendship between you two, the most beauty is I see many times you guys returned the fish to the ocean, a great example for all anglers. I live in London and I would love to visit Bristol channel for some codling experience, I did visit once last year in December at Seven bridge but got nothing. It will be a long drive and maybe this time I give Brean a visit, if you have any advice which month to visit and what kind of conditions I need to look out for then it would be greatly helpful, also which part of Brean beach would be best to target, obviously there is no guarantee the codling would be around. Take care and keep the videos coming.
Hi Thi so nice to hear from you and thanks for your lovely words! Chris and I have been fishing together for nearly 35 years now!! With regards to coming down to fish Brean for cod I must say it’s a long way for 3 hours fishing!!! The last couple of years have been very poor for cod but every year is different so you hope this year will be amazing! When it’s good you can catch a lot in the 3 hours…..if the fishing for cod kicks off I will send you a message here. The best weather is a steady 10mph SW or W wind after a storm with a mid range tide….if you look at tide times for Weston super Mare you want one between 10m and 11.5M ideally. November and December are the best months. Lugworm the only bait. Fish last 3 hours before high tide! Let’s hope for a lot of cod and I will let you know cheers ian
@@ianclarkfishing Thanks Ian, I live in West London and the nearest sea would take me at least 1.5 hour from my house, and not even a good location for fishing. My average fishing trip is between 2-4 hours drive, so 3 hours would not be a problem. I have been to Chesil, Poole, Dungeness...Please let me know when you think it is good to have a try. I have caught most regular fish from shore apart from cod. Take care.
Hi Tony he definitely kicked my ass that trip!! Every dog has its day ! Seriously though we don’t mind who catches as long as someone does!! Thanks again for watching mate cheers ian
@@ianclarkfishing hi ian , just to let you know mate your comment on my last video was deleted by the tube for one word you used in the comment so please dont think i was ignoring you mate i got the notification but couldnt reply , sorry chap,
Great video yet again Ian. Lovely to see that the stock of bass is coming back up. Would you mind letting me know how to get to that part of beach? I was fishing close to the hill in the background but couldn't get to where your fishing. Cheers Bart
Hi Bart lovely to hear from you! Yes there are plenty of bass on Brean this year! You can park on the grass verge opposite Brean Village Hall and there is a cut through to the beach just to the right of the hall. Don’t park on the verge behind the double yellow lines or you may get a ticket!! Cheers Ian
nice bass session mate ,does criss give lessons on bass catching ,i thought you was fishing in some ones grow room in their attic with all that weed about lol .i had a night on west bex chesil last night ,had 7 mackerel , wish they had been 7 bass ,cant win them all , looking forward to a meet up some time our paths should cross soon ,ATB les
Hi Les lovely to hear from you again! I will ask Chris if he can show you if you want to pop over sometime! We probably going Ferrybridge end Chesil we have been very disappointed with Abbotsbury this year! Tight lines cheers Ian
Hi Ian, sorry to bother you but a friend and I were hopping to fish Bream beach sat the 9th the tide looks good, how is the beach fishing ? any info will help, kind regards Paul Lumbard.
Hi paul nice to hear from you. Yes nice tide Saturday evening 9.45 high start fishing about 6.45. It’s a big tide 12.7 m but forecast is for light wind. Unfortunately I’m currently isolating having caught covid19 so haven’t been out for a week. Chris fished it recently and had a thornback and I know there are plenty of bass still about. Fresh lug best bait…. A big bait needed I think. The tide will race in for a couple of hours so plenty of line on your reel an advantage…your bait can be left out 45 minutes at least if it’s big enough. No crabs on the beach. Good luck cheers Ian
Generally use a small pulley pennel with size 2 or 4 Aberdeen’s…always a chance of a sole so until the cod are in we keep on the small side. Hooks the bass well enough!!
