mike farrants Posted April 3, 2023 Posted April 3, 2023 Have friends staying for the week from land locked Buckinghamshire - and wanted to fish as much as possible this week - following the 35mph winds of Thursday and Friday we chose to stick to beach fishing and having had a look at the swell pounding chesil we chose the more sheltered Preston beach - the east end of Weymouth bay. Armed with ragworm and bling for plaice (or anything flat) and a 2 hook flapper for anything else. We weren't expecting great things (although have caught rays, whiting, eels, and dogs here)- plus knowing its better at night we opted for the afternoon/evening. first cast at 3pm just as the sun came out - very slow but enjoyable afternoon - we fished until dark and i blanked - my mate however caught a lovely bass on rag and a spider crab! went home at 9pm to bangers and mash - a thoroughly enjoyable blank on a spring day! suzook12, Geoff, Malc and 1 other 4 Quote

thejollysinker Posted April 6, 2023 Posted April 6, 2023 A good back up venue when Chesil is evil. Shame on the blank 😬 my mate and I went to Chesil just after the hurricane in ‘87 and drove along the road behind Preston beach. We drove past a coach which was smashed to hell and full of pebbles and sand. I think half the beach was on the road 😅 when we got to Chesil, that was a different story again…. Quote
