I've not yet seen it for myself, but theres recently been a huge landslide at Charmouth.. Seatown is good and not too far from there.

down on burton beach on a sunday, you can get a years membersip from the guy in the land rover to the nat trust for approx a third off.. did it last week considering all the parking charges mentioned above!

So you did! doggies and pout all night long as usual.. hope to see you soon tho! T

Wotcha Zig! Are you going to be on Hive tonight? Will be of down there myself in a couple of hours.. (7ish) Simon

Tried out Hive -every cast bar a couple resulted in a doggie. plenty of those about thats for sure! Going to try Abbotsbury this afternoon - see what that brings.... Would certainly be up for a shot thurs.... -pm me with your plan if you're still keen! Cheers Simon

just give us the nod when your next out Ziggy and i'd love to! dont start my new job til next mon so will be out as much as pos this week. Looking forward to it

Just moved from London to Burton Bradstock.. unpacked and now ready to fish! high tide later this afternoon and loads of beaches to choose from! Anyone fancy it? Any suggestions? Much appreciated

Cheers dan! Lets do just that! Doing the big move today , then i'm right there would definately like to hook up with you all on the beach as soon as possible.

Thanks Fearthehands, If we're lucky enough to get (and help) this all get sorted, i'll see you along the beach somewhere soon! With every inch of our lines passing thru the surface of the oily water, i can imagine it to be a proper gear wrecker for the next few weeks..

I'm moving house from London to Burton Bradstock tommoro, to start a new life and enjoy the fishing. I persueded my partner easily as its beautiful coastline and would be perfect for the dogs and our 1 year old son to grow up by. Pretty much the worst start i rekon

Sorry, thats not me -I know of a Dave Brennan that writes House music.. Prob a long shot, but would that be you?? Anyway, Happy fishing all the same! Simon

I just got back from a weeks fishing in Greece (Crete). I took a fox travel rod (4 piece). had to put it in the cargo hold, as it wouldnt fit in my hand luggage, but the protective tube it's supplied with coped perfectly well. As for the fishing...... 1 tiny (4"!) but very colourful little fish in a week of trying :-( best of sticking to just the Mythos imo!

I live in London too (west). Its so frustating not to be able to fish as and when you fancy (and i have a car!) I usually head for Pompey, Brighton and when ive got the time, Chesil Would you be a Dave Brennan by the way? Simon

Well i havent bought one for this rod yet, but I use a abu 6500 on my current rod (abu xodus). The new dilemma now is, do i just pick up another of those cause i know them, or do i try out a slosh / 7HT or a penn 525????? Spose that one's an age old debate!

Ahhhhhhh. Just bought one! Cheers all

--> QUOTE(Norm B @ May 24 2006, 04:17 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They're all good top of the range rods, I'm just waiting for the Estuary rod to do a review on as it looks a superb lightweight bass/smoothhound rod. Well its nearly decided then!

Cheers Tony, Funnily enough, I found that review already so cheers for that! I suppose I was looking for further opions, as they all seem to be in favour of the rod so far, but then thats all good! I fish anywhere from east sussex across to dorset and sometimes into cornwall, so fairly mixed ground.. not a expert caster at all either, but it looks like this rod could work out anyone else in a similar predicament??

Was thinking of buying the Big Beach 14" .. anyone else got / tried one? Will an abu griplok fit it? Cheers Simon

Hi, Does anyone know if any of the beaches or piers along this stretch of coast are worth the trek from London to fish yet?? gagging to wet my lines, but gagging to actually catch even more so! Cheers, Simon

Cheers everyone -tho its not really good news is it! Sitting at home reading the above makes me think i'll stay put and save my petrol.. I know come saturday morning tho, it'll get the better of me and i'll be on my way down regardless! maidstonemike, youre absolutely right. trouble is i've been dreaming about it too long now and theres only one way to quench the urge....... Hey! all good practise! Shonzy, pm you closer to the weekend!

Cheers Karl, yeah thats what i thought someone would say! Still i'll give it a shot.. better than watchin the tv.......! (maybe!)

Hi folks, new to this forum.. How are you all? Was wondering if anyone here could help me. I rarely get the chance these days but hope to fish this coming weekend. I live in London and its difficult to keep up to date on catch reports! I usually head for Eastney beach , but is it fishing ok at the moment. Brighton? Eastbourne? These are the areas i know.. Perhaps theres a better mark doing well somewhere else along the Solent?? Anyone got any helpful advice please?? Cheers, Simon
