Hi people .
Went for a session down CHESIL BEACH on fathers day.
Got over the fear of chasting,I was right crap rod and leader knott.
Bought by own now and all is good.

After reading a thread on this sight i must say that i agree that chesil is living in the past,
I have heard of all the stories about how people could catch 70-80 mackies each but fron what i saw on sunday those days seem 2 b long gone.

As i was fishing for a good 7 houres and only saw a total of 12 fish cought.

I agree that something should be done about this.If oure costline fishing is going to survive.

mackerel definately thinner on the ground than they werte in the 80's
but the specie is under pressure all around.

take only what you need, when you've enough stop fishing for them winking
