After a few days of rain and strong winds the weather eased and so set off with Bella our cocker spaniel in the Defender for the 1 3/4 hour drive to Chesil. Dug lug at Brean on the way and bought some rag and squid from Colins Tackle too.Arrived about 5pm and lugged gear along to the Dragons Teeth where was greeted by flat calm sea, no wind and small swell.High tide was 11.30pm. I began with the feathers to get bait and within 10 minutes had 6 mackerel which was enough. Then fished both rods at range with lug on one and rag on other tipped with squid strip. Had no bites but was bitten off by spider crab and landed one too! First fish was about 10pm, a small pout and continued to catch pout on the worm baits and when fished at range with mackerel had a few dogfish too. At dark also fished a side of mackerel in close down to the left on running leger rig and carp rod....this rod was nearly pulled in at midnight by a tremendous bite which also took line off the drag but when i grabbed the rod nothing was there! Gutted! A big bass i am sure. Fished until 1am and arrived home 2.45 tired.
