Fishing AT Abbotsbury on the Chesil Beach - Plenty of fish on a storm damaged beach

I fish Abbotsbury, approx 1.1 km from the car park towards West Bexington on Tuesday 28th November 2023
Fishing from 1200 - 2115 hrs , I fish the rising tide (Low 1233 hrs @ 0.6 m, high 1930 hrs @ 3.7 m) using blow lug, ragworm, frozen blacks , bluey and squid
Rigs are size 1 up overs / 1-0 pulleys and 2-0 pulleys
Fished 3 rods and tested a new reel, Penn Fathom 2 casting special
Action from cast 1 to the end, with plenty of fish
Target was cod
Parking was £8 (24 hrs) and ticket machines take cards - you can also use a phone app , but reception isn't great down there (For me anyway on Vodaphone)

Hi, thanks for watching , glad you enjoyed it

[@richiethespark]

Nice video buddy, looks like you had a steady session even if the bigger fish didn’t show.
Just nice to be out and wetting a line.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks for watching , glad you enjoyed it. The experience is as important as the catching , if not more so

[@castersfishingwales2038]

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching guys

[@andycurtis2135]

Just watching your video I was the next angler up from you. Lot of pout, whiting and dogs.

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching , sounds like you had a similar session. Kept quite busy all session

[@lonesomeStu]

Thanks for a great video, lovely atmosphere and views - just wish I didn't live 270 miles away....

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching - 110 miles for me each way, it's the only drawback

[@themuddypuddleangler653]

@@fishingat mate ive not been out. just not feeling it lately😒

[@garethwilliams3333]

Well done, enjoyable video. Glad you enjoyed using your new reel. I found that the mag dial kept digging into my wrist when I was reeling in.

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it. Mag position is better than the 525 mark 4 , which is a real pain ! Got on ok with the casting special

Hi bud I m from Chepstow and never seen u about. Been watching u for months now.

[@fishingat]

Hi, thanks for watching, hope you enjoy the content. Actually don't do a lot of fishing locally , even though it's on my doorstep - Have tried around the old bridge, Goldcliff , sudbrook without a lot of success . Getting muddy has lost it's appeal of late !!

[@LonghornMatt]

👆oh…. And well done on the PB🎣👍

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching, cheers

[@mat_allthegearfishing]

great video mate, gonna try here one day when ive got a bit more experience, just trying to learn how to fish and film good content and neither is easy

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching - It's an easy place to learn and if you time it right, somewhere where you don't need to walk far . I'm sure in front of the car parks is as good as rest of the big beach

[@frederickpritchard994]

Always fishes best with some choppy wave action, Force 3-5 to stir up the bottom and better in the UK night

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching , sorry missed your comment when posted . Thanks for the advice

I cant fish anymore due to health problems. I do miss making bags full of weights. As a builder, I always had lead cut off from roofs. Often 20kg on a big roof. 😊 The Gemini kit is good 👍, but also had my own moulds I made for other shape weights. Boat leads Often £5 each. So often sold 3 for £5 to lads as often lost in snags. 😊

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching - Remember making weights on our coal fire , 45 yrs ago . Our mum would go mental when we got molten lead on the carpet ! Take care

[@fishdisco3107]

Good to see you back on the beach, plenty of fish there, I’d be happy with that lot & you looked very happy with the performance of your new reel. I’m always curious about your head torch swapping, is it just a battery thing? Take care buddy 😎👍👍

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching Lincoln - The orange petzl lamp at best lasts 2 hrs (it's a bit old !) and the newer black one is about 3 hrs (on max illumination). I tend to use max light, not the I'm scared of the dark !!! I take a battery pack to recharge the dead one and also keep it plugged into my go pro to keep that battery charged - nothing worse than the battery dying for those specimens pout I catch. I was chatting to a guy who had blonde ray and cod that same session, so there is better stuff about. Wish I'd bought another one, while I had the chance on the reels now ! Tight lines

[@frederickpritchard994]

The little shop in Abbotsbury stocks frozen baits.

[@fishingat]

Must get in there one day , never stopped by

[@carldawson832]
