Fishing AT Ferrybridge on the Chesil Beach - Join me as I catch plenty by the bird sanctuary

I fish the Ferrybridge end of the Chesil Beach on Monday 12th Aug 2024
Walked 1.1 km towards the bird sanctuary and fished a rising tide (1.4 M to 3.4 M) from 4 pm to 1am 13th Aug
Using rag, lug, squid, mackere, sandeel and prawn catch plenty of bream, pouting, mackerel, horse mackerel and conger using simple loop , pulley or pop up 2 hook rigs
Spider crabs around , so pop ups proved successful
Wind was in my face (SW 10 - 15 mph, gusting 20) which dropped into darkness
Some weed in the water but no issues
One watch out is the parking charge at the visitor centre carpark - £20 if you park more than 10 hrs

Well done, nice session with plenty of fish to keep you busy. Do you walk up the shingle bank in front of the bridge or do you walk along the fleet and then up to the bird sanctuary?

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching. Generally, I'll walk along the gang plank bridge by the Chesil visitor centre , then go right across a more solid piece of land (heather covered etc) for about 500 yards before the pebbles re-start. Very easy to walk on before the slog up the bank before the bird sanctuary , which (on Sunday) was roped off as the little terns are nesting. There used to be a wooden gang plank up the bank but it's been gone about 2 yrs.

Thanks for the reply. I'm having a 4 day fishing trip at Chesil the 1st week of September and the last time I fished the bird sanctuary that's the way I went, but it was hard work going up the bank!! just wondered if it was easier going straight up from the little bridge you cross over the car park from and then along the top of the bank.

@@garethwilliams3333 More pebble walking that way . There is a concrete wall (of sorts) just before the bird sanctuary m that you can walk up by (up the bank) which makes it a little easier

Looked like a decent lil session mate , thanks for the upload! Think i’ll be parking at (check point) towards Portland on the next trip

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching - think they are trying to stop the sleep overs etc , can't justify the charges , it doesn't compare to other Chesil car parks

Nice busy one for you Alan, great vid buddy. We only saw a couple of meteors on Sunday night also between the clouds. Happy fishing 🎣 😎👍👍

Thanks for watching Lincoln. It was perfectly clear as well and no Northern lights which were reported as far down as Cornwall. Nice to catch some bream (at last) , was also hoping for a gurnard ... next time but not at Ferrybridge !

Car park prices are increasing as the cost of picking up and disposal of rubbish has increased. All those scuffers who leave all their shit behind ( a lot of them so called anglers unfortunately ) are making the cost of parking not worth going to some marks. Easier for councils to increase parking costs = more revenue , until their will come a price point were anglers go elsewhere . = no more rubbish = no more problem for the council. Anyone dumping rubbish should face £5,000 fine and their car crushed. Problem solved 👍
