You can do it! Chesil is a great beach to fish but makes sure you talk to the guys in the local shops if it looks choppy. They can warn you of any risks of rogue waves which happen on that beach. Always set up well back from the edge.

You’re welcome. Cascades just don’t pass through the gills well and the snood clip makes a big difference when using the through the gills method for unhooking. I hope you get some flatties soon - good luck.

Thanks Oli. Fishing is my passion so I guess being enthusiastic comes easy 🙂 🎣 🐟.

Defo more videos coming, I’ll be hitting the plaice in February and I’ve a few videos planned around that which I hope will be informative. Thanks for your lovely feedback. 😃

Only Waitrose rubbish bags for me 🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for your feedback - very appreciated!

Thanks so much! 😊

I’ve used multis since I was about 14… all personal preference, I like the fact that they are lighter than fixed spools and the mag systems in them make it easy to control the spool speed during the cast. I do sometimes use fixed spools but only when it’s clearly better for my fishing.

Thanks! Will do! Next one will probably be February when the plaice turn up. I’ll be learning more about editing in the meantime!

I’m fairly close to Kent - I’m in East Sussex and regularly fish Pevensey Bay and other Sussex beaches, with trips to Chesil through the year. Sometimes I head over to Kent too! Thanks for the comment and feedback.

Thanks, you too! I do love the cage on that reel, very solid indeed!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your kind words.

Thanks - great to hear, appreciated :)

Thanks Dean.

Yeah I could use a juicy steak on the beach - beats sausages and beans! 😋😋😋. Glad you liked the video, thanks ☺️

Thank you 😁

Thanks Karen! There will be more to come. I’ve got some better mics coming soon and plan to start making videos more regularly once the plaice season starts here in February. I’ll try to work on improving my editing over the next few weeks. And yeah, Wayne’s videos are fab.

Hi ladies....Mel your sound & editing was fab! I agree Karen...nice to see other woman fishing. Now i know why men love its so much its so exciting 😊 Gem, what is the best time to go to Chesil & will i catch a sea Bass in March? Cant wait to make a 3 way snood rig for the first time. I'm gonna try wonder Glue instead of crimps actually gonna try both. So many chaps teaching me skills from detailed tutorials. Got my new warm gear to wear this time & my beach tent not a fishing one but it will keep the wind off me & shelter me. Fishing kit is exspensive but worth every penny. Only using 2 cheapish beach casters & reels atm to practice....hope i don't BLANK ladies 🙏🏼

Thanks so much! 😊. I do love my multis!

Thanks David! If I can get to be “just like Wayne” with the standard of my videos I’ll be well happy lol. Going to work a bit on learning how to edit better etc.

I really like the way you really show up and downs of fishing, people just think you can just roll up and catch fish it tacks hard work and practice 👍

Yep - been practising and learning for 46 years now :)

Thanks for the kind feedback Chris. Hope to get some more videos out when the plaice turn up in February. Hopefully have better a microphone by then too!

Super pleased to hear about how you found my channel. Thanks for the lovely feedback! Fishing is a fab sport, so good for escaping the day-to-day and clearing the mind. I’ve loved it since I started when aged three and caught a bass first cast. 🎣😃🎣

my first book i had in 1977 aged 7 was sea fishes of the uk i read it so much that it fell apart in the end that was how i fell in love at such a young age my uncle took me out in a boat plaice fishing so i i totally get your bass aged 3 aspect it seems a much simpler time maybe im just looking back because i was young ?

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching.

I used to take a Coleman petrol stove when I’d head out for two-day sessions. Great bit of kit.

Glad you enjoyed it 😃

Thanks Rob! Yes I can’t wait for the plaice to arrive. Brighton and the Burrells will be on my hit list for sure.

Thanks Jon! Must be all the years I worked at university giving lectures 😀

Thank you, I will for sure be posting more. Just flying back from Norway now (literally I am on the plane) and hopefully I have some good footage to edit for the channel. It was a good trip!

More to come! Thanks for your kind words. Chesil is one of my favourite venues but it’s over a four hour drive each way so I don’t get to go there too often.

Thanks Gary. The 7hts are great reels, I hope you manage to hit the beach to try it out soon.

More to come! I’ll be stepping up production from mid/late February when the plaice should arrive. Gives me a bit of time to get better at editing etc during the fairly poor fishing month of January!

Thanks Stephen.

Thanks Carl 🙂🎣

Thanks David. Hope we get to meet up again soon!

Thanks for the feedback and subscribing. Very appreciated

Thanks :) lovely to hear 🙂

It’s not often I am called a lady hehe. Welcome to the beautiful pevensey bay ☺️. Thank for watching 🙏

Thanks Joanne 🙂

Thanks for the sub! Yeah, it’s not easy to film at all. I am hoping it gets easier as I get in to it.

Thanks so much for your feedback - very appreciated.

Hi Kevin, I honestly can’t remember but Amazon sell them and millets sell some of the jet boil range. I’m using the jet boil micromo, which includes its own ignition system. I can’t be trusted to remember to take a lighter or matches 😂.

This is my take on that. The modern lines we have vary much more in their diameter to breaking strain ratio. So, in the old days 15lb line was pretty much always 0.35! But now, we can get much thinner lines that are rated at 15lb. Personally, I think the diameter of the line plays a bigger role in whether you'll get bites (obviously this is dependant on what you're targeting) than the breaking strain: the line diameter is what impacts how much movement you'll get from tide pull, whether the fish can see the line etc.
