I didn't say that , I said day time at Chesil was crap. I catch other fish than doggies at Chesil, but night time produces the best and varied catches IMO.

Others may have different experiences.

Fair enough, but its a very good beach compared to wot we have down here.

Ooops, looks like I have started something here. Hi Downsouth, nice to hear from you. I am planning a trip next weekend to Warbarrow and Sea Angler magazine this month recommends it on the springs for Pollock, and the ranges are closed in January if anyone is interested. I am also fishing Church Ope tomorrow night for Rays and flatties as long as it's not too windy. It should be sheltered from southwesterlies there.

To answer the previous question, Sand Holes is a little known rock mark between Southwell and the Bill. Walk directly to the cliff from the second gateway after the pub. You are a good way up from the sea but I am told it can produce the goods. The bottom is rock and weed but there are several large (ish) sand holes in the weed if you can hit them. I can in the daylight but have not tried it at night.

Downsouth, please let me know when you want to fish, I am free any time. I would like to give Studland a go sometime, deffinately a night session. This website got me thinking about new venues, have a look. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adrianjacobs/.
