COD Fishing at CHESIL BEACH Abbotsbury | Sea Fishing UK

Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel!
Today we fished down Chesil Beach in the hope of a cod!
We arrived at about 12 in the afternoon and fished til about 10pm so had a good old bash down there!
Todays targets were obviously the Cod but it would have been nice to catch a Ray, Bass or big Conger.
In the end I had about 60 fish which were dog fish and pouting where as dangler probably had about 15 fish but 1 of them being a big pig weighing 8lb 1 oz making it officially a Cod!
Thanks so much for the support on the channel & recent videos I really appreciate it!

Nice one Shane mate 👊🫡 thanks as always!

[@gary.southamptonangler]

Well done matt great content as usual well done dan on the cod its a great spot abbotsbury but hit and miss for cod, dragons teeth and beyond for better chance for cod.

[@FishingwithMattUK]

Nice one gary I appreciate the kind words and support! Will try up that end next time I guess but its hit and miss all up and down the beach anyway!

[@thesweetcornkid266]

Very entertaining. Feel your pain with the dogs, they're cool but get tedious after a few. Would love to get done there with you guys. 😎👍

[@FishingwithMattUK]

Thanks Stu mate, I’ve really tried to increase my videos quality drastically & I think i’m doing a good job! Glad enjoyed it, Will hopefully get out on the beach with you again sometime soon 👊👊👊

[@thesweetcornkid266]

@@FishingwithMattUK Definitely seeing the production quality shining mate, audio, intros, chit chat, makes for an enjoyable watch. Keep it going buddy. 👌

[@FishingwithMattUK]

Really appreciate that feedback, had quite a few people mention it which makes me really happy! My vids used to be bad to average but I feel i’ve got the rhythm now 😍

[@southerner4566]

5:30, You want that bottom hook coming out right at the bottom of the bait not half way along, That bait is going to cost you a lot of casting distance as it wont fly straight

[@FishingwithMattUK]

Hello mate I appreciate the comment and suggestion. I’ve always baited up like this as its the way i’ve been taught. Theres many ways of baiting things up and I guess its personal preference at the end of the day. However, as it was a clip down rig I don’t think I lost that much distance. I will give your way a try tho 👊 thanks for the comment and support

[@danielbladen7606]

Great video. What is the parking and walk situation to the beach like at this venue? And what light are u using to light up the rods?

[@FishingwithMattUK]

Hello daniel mate thanks alot for the comment and support! The parking is literally a 4 minute walk from a fishing spot along the beach! The only downside is parking can cost £10+! I also use 2 lights to light my rods up, One being a fenix cl28r on a tripod & the other being a 2000 lumen lap work light from screwfix on top of my tent! They are both good but the lap one seems to last a bit longer & potentially light more up but then again the fenix light is 4x smaller!

[@danielbladen7606]

@@FishingwithMattUK thanks very much for the reply. Thinking of a two Night fishing trip with my brother in march. He can pay the parking as im driving 😂 looks a stunning venue to fish. Keep up the videos pal 👍

[@FishingwithMattUK]

@danielbladen7606 you’re very welcome mate! I try to respond to 100% of comments but obviously some can slip through! It should hopefully be quite productive for flounders & plaice in march as long as the weather stays nice and calm 😎 you may see me down there some time!

[@dianeandrews5206]

Matt, great video, at least u were out there trying.

[@FishingwithMattUK]

[@robinmoore1994]

i find cuttle works well off boat

[@FishingwithMattUK]

Yeah cuttle is a great bait

[@southerner4566]

I find it good off the rocks but get next to nothing on it on Chesil. Even the Dogs won't touch it

[@FishingwithMattUK]

Yeah crazy how different baits catxh different fish in different places!

[@robinmoore1994]

have you been fishing long,why o why use a long shank hook hanging out bait tail,

[@FishingwithMattUK]

Hello robin mate, I and many others are still learning as we go. I’m not a beginner fisherman but i’m nowhere near a professional nor claim to be. I use the hooks I use as they are sharp and have caught me amazing fish. As to have the hook in the tail, are you suggesting I use a curved hook?

[@southerner4566]

@@FishingwithMattUKYou want something like Varivas BMX or Sakuma BMX .

[@robinmoore1994]

try a smaller like 3/0 at the top off your pennel,circle or stinger ,honestley it will account for 90 percent of your hook ups and they will be in scissors,with circle wind not strike, hope this helps it did me@@FishingwithMattUK
