Hi mate yes absolutely pants weather I must say!! Well done on your coarse fishing very impressive I must say!!!! Cheers Ian

Yes there are definitely some decent fish about but they are few and far between unlike the last couple of years unfortunately!! I’m sure we will both keep putting in the hours and sooner or later a proper fish will come along!! Fingers crossed!! Cheers Ian

Hi mate that’s a lovely sole!! I We haven’t had one yet this year on Brean but one of my sons mates had one at 2lb about a month ago so they are around though not in any numbers. Tight lines buddy cheers Ian

Hi Gary yes a long trip for you… I enjoy the down too but the walk up the steps is a killer for sure! Hope all well down your way! Cheers ian

Hi Stephen so nice to hear from you again! I will pass on your message to Chris…. Plus I’m hoping to retire myself in the near future so I’m hoping we can fish together even more 😂

Hi Ian. Enjoy your fishing trips, great source of info about this local mark. Few questions for you when you have time.Do you find the beach has a more favoured end. By that I mean closer to Brean or closer to Burnham or stick in the middle as it's pretty much the same. Also do you agree digging your bait fresh and using the native worm can have the edge over worm harvested from another venue?

@garrymadge108 hi Garry nice to hear from you I don’t think any part is significantly better than the other but most anglers here have their favourite There are few gullies along Brean so not a lot of features to hold the fish…. We prefer behind the village hall but some swear by behind unity farm or the golf links I think the fish move quickly along the beach so location not as important as using fresh dug lug…. Occasionally I have tried shop bought lug on Brean but it usually results in failure unfortunately!!! Cheers Ian

Cheers matey so glad you enjoyed watching it! Tight lines! Ian

Hi mate lovely to hear from you! Your season sounds like mine unfortunately…. Haven’t been to Chesil in ages but last time mackerel were non existent too!!! I’m retiring at end of July so should be out more than recently hopefully!! Tight lines mate cheers Ian

Hi Rich yes giving up end of July hopefully!!! Watch out fish here I come 😂😂😂😂 Be nice to get out together soon cheers Ian

@@ianclarkfishing yes mate hopefully catch up soon 👍

Thank you Gary so nice to hear from you again your support is greatly appreciated cheers Ian

Hi Keith lovely to hear from you! Used a dongle down channel when using squid or fish baits but never on Brean using lug. Best tides between 10.5 and 11.5m in my opinion Fingers crossed me and Chris get out even more! Cheers Ian

@ianclarkfishing we're over there in the boat in the morning couldn't get lug so trying rag we had a nice one around a month ago off the stakes so that's where we're headed tight lines

@keithgribble8143 good luck mate looks like fantastic weather for a change!!!

Hi Gordon lovely to hear from you Yes first cast an always drop close as you say the bass can be 50 yards out in 2ft of water at times! Very easy to wack the bait out over their heads I think! With the speed of the incoming tide your bait will be 200+ yards out in no time anyway!! Cheers ian

Hi thanks for watching Between I think 9am and 5pm you can park on the beach for a charge at the Brean end or behind Unity Farm. You need to park against the dunes and not on anything over a 11.5m tide. Plus bear in mind you are fishing the 3 hours up to high water you don’t want to be locked out on the beach!!! I park on the grass verge opposite Brean village hall ( not behind the yellow lines) and take the short walk through the cutting to the right of the hall…, it’s a bit narrow and soft sand but only about 100 yards to the beach! Hope this helps cheers Ian

@@ianclarkfishingthanks - very helpful. Found the VH and can see the double yellows but not where you mean. I’ll try and get down around 7th August. I think tides look decent with a HT around 2100

Grass verge just south of village hall on opposite side of road… the first 30 yards of verge is behind yellow lines and a ticket id guaranteed if you park there…. Just go past them and all ok! Good luck

Hi thanks for watching! I park on the grass verge opposite Brean village hall ( don’t park behind the double yellow line) There is a cut to the beach to the right of the hall. Hope this helps cheers Ian

Hi …. Beach closed to cars after 5 I think and charges apply in the summer We park opposite Brean village hall on the grass verge ( not behind yellow line) and there is a cut to the beach just right of the hall. Left or right of the stakes doesn’t seem to matter much it’s personal preference Cheers Ian

@@ianclarkfishing thanks mate

@marcobigguns3417 👍🎣

@@ianclarkfishing Mate we went ta for the info 10 others on beach fishing but every one blanked so we will try again at some point appreciated

@marcobigguns3417 no problem sorry you didn’t catch! It’s a bit hit and miss there at the moment Cheers Ian
