day started of well up big full cooked breakfast then off to get the train to southampton where i met up with maunder about an hour and a half later we arrived at the car park both dying to get on the beach and get the rod out.
so got the kit out and started the ten min walk up to the teeth ,as we walk over the bank what a stoke of luck we had came over the top where there was what looked like the only free spot for about a mile :)
so out came the beach buddys,rods,rod stands and set up buy this time it was around 3pm.
baits where blacks,rag,squid,mackies,hermit crabs,cuttle fish and sand ells our last try for a cod :-*
rigs where pully pennels with 3/0 hooks and 1 up/1 down 3/0 hooks loading up with big baits we where pumping them out around 160 yards so lines in the water lee pulled out a few beers so we crack one open and toasted to a good night fishing (big mistake) :'(

aftere 20 mins started reeling in to change bait and b******ks snaged, snap line and tackle gone >

this happen to me 3 times and lee 2 tinink there was somthing out there when we change direction thing where all good, by now its 1am and not even a bite (bloody chesil beach fishing forum i think there full of s**t ) ;D
so things where looking glum so rebaited big cod baits and put every thing we had it to the casts (180 yards? ) and all of a sudden big knocks on the rods jumping to our feet (with fingers cross) waited....................and waited..........................and waited no bloody takers so packed up for the walk back to the car around 4am not good both blanked but was good to get out there :)

Don't like to say it but I did tell you before you went that Chesil had stopped fishing about 2 weeks ago, as it always does at the end of December.

Hard luck lads, I spent a bloody freezing night there last February. The walk on the beach was easy because the shingle was frozen solid. I sat in my beach buddy, hard frost on the outside and inside of the buddy, and my frozen bait stayed very frozen. Complete blank. Now I go when Portland Pirate & other respectable - well, respected! - members recommend it. I still don't catch much - but at least I feel as if I could do!
