Catch Fish from Chesil Beach - WEST BEXINGTON: SWYRE

One of a series of videos on Chesil Beach in Dorset, UK.
This video covers a daytime session in May targeting plaice at the shallower end at West Bexington, (Dorset, UK). The session (21.05.24), was fished at the White House mark, Swyre. Unfortunately plaice did not make an appearance, but a blank was avoided with the capture of a gurnard and a couple of decent smooth hounds.. Nevertheless, I cover the rigs and techniques employed in order to try and catch plaice at this location.

Parking charges are a crime,

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Yes - but you can still park there for free in the evening - just have to time your sessions around that.

Chinook was the highlight of the video for me, very low pass from it. The gurnard you caught is a grey gurnard.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks for the ID - I think that might be my first of that species! Thanks for watching Robert.

New subscriber, great videos. Do any of your videos cover the outfit you are using. I am looking for more information on your rod. Thanks

[@stinkymuppet9207]

Always enjoy your videos thanks for sharing another informative piece of hard work to entertain us fishy folk

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks for that.

Brilliant result with the hounds Mick,just goes to show that we always use pulley rigs for hounds but a 3 hook paternoster can catch anything ..Top Angling

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Yes - I mainly fish with small baits and hooks; but still get a fair number of decent fish. Fishing big baits and big hooks, you'll increase your chances of getting better fish, but are unlikely to catch the small ones, so are more likely to blank.

Me and the wife just been to west bexington caught my PB bass but that was it all bank holiday weekend

[@rodsangleuk6283]

At least that made up for a quite time - well done!

[@Cosmonaut75]

Nice video. I've been looking for a decent seat/box everywhere. Where did you get yours?

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Online - but can't remember where. Its a RidgeMonkey Bucket Seat XL.

[@theharris7207]

First time seeing one of your videos, the detail you went into to highlight your mark was much appreciated

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Welcome aboard and thanks for your comment!

[@WestCoastWill]

Another nice video, should consider keeping fish that are definitely not going survive .

[@rodsangleuk6283]

That's right - these were OK though and I wouldn't take smooth hounds.

[@INTERTELTOP1]

Hi Mick ... It just goes to show that fish can turn up, even when you are packing up to leave ... Extending your session proved worthwhile, even though you didn't catch any target plaice ... 2 stonking smoothies would make any anglers day ... Well done. 🐟🐟🎣🎣 Ps. I think Dylan,from 'Frugal Outdoors', has purloined your hoodie ... It has 'The sole man' on the back of it ...

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Vid with sole on its way soon! Sometimes we give up when the fish are about to start feeding - always worth that 'last cast'.

[@nicholascavie2464]

Awesome again Mick smooth hounds called gummy shark here prized catch and good eating sold in most chippies good to give to kids 2 eat as they don't have any bones. Happy catching from Australia Nick

[@rodsangleuk6283]

I know a couple who would take them; but I can't bring myself round to doing so!

[@chrisbree3467]

Well done Michael, just goes to show that you are always in with a shout while you have a bait in the water. I think I may have packed up long before your capture 🐟

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Yes - you never know with Chesil; it can suddenly switch on just when you are thinking that nothing is going to happen.

[@goolie8100]

Well done thanks for location markers as ever you are best vlogger for doing this.I fished this venue a couple of years ago i blanked.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

It can be a bit hit and miss. I'm not keen on vids that refer to venues as 'a mark on Chesil,' or 'somewhere on the south coast' etc..

[@user-ze4fc2gx3q]

A great end to a slow start two nice smoothies rod.Well done.

[@rodsangleuk6283]

Thanks for that.
