First time I’ve seen your video - really enjoyed it and have subscribed without hesitation. I got a fishing kayak this year for my 70th and have been out a few times without success but I marvel at your skills mate. Looking forward to watching more stuff!! I’m In Whitstable so I can walk my kayak from my house to the beach. Just the one rod and lures for the moment but hoping to pop my cherry soon 🤞
Thanks Ron, appreciate the support ! Sounds like you live in the dream location. Keep going there is something about catching fish on a kayak that’s so rewarding. Can’t wait for you to do it!
Chesil used to be great 35yrs ago....then the Trawlers moved in....a stones throw off from the shingle beach...and it all ended. The guys fishing there now don't know what it Used to be like.
Spanish trawling in the Irish box between the UK and Ireland killed 50% of the cod run full stop.....hopefully reform UK will ban them if we can get them in one day
Sadly I can’t see any improvement anytime soon. If any restrictions are put in place it will be the recreational anglers who get the bad end of the stick
Everyone should fish Chesil Beach! Used to fish there 30 years ago. Never managed to get anything interesting from the beach but it felt like a right of passage lol
Nice work! Any chance you could include a few details about where you parked/launched from, would love to get Chesil a go, but don't really know the area!?
Back in 61 to 64..we lived in Weymouth..Chesil Beach was good THEN..so was The Fleet behind it..!!...Not like THAT today unfortunately...unless you get lucky..!!!..Back then you could be certain..!!..Miss those days..and my boyhood fishing friend Don Gill..whose ashes were spread at Ferry Bridge nearby..!!..RIP.....
Think you probably should have pointed out that a Chesil kayak launch in anything other than a flat calm is only going to have one ending, and it isn’t a good one! Good on you for getting lucky with the weather - looked perfect. What was the retrieve like back to the car park?
@@dizzyfish your probably right. Thanks for the feedback! I have mentioned it in the description but not everyone reads it. It’s a steep one, I carry a throw rope so just winched it up with that. Not ideal but the pebbles are smooth 😬
Hi watched this video but kayaking is not for me but well done to you, i do have a question about a video you made called THE BRISTOL CHANNELS MOST OVER LOOKED MARK ? gust out of intrest what side of the river were you avonmouth side or pill side ? and keep the videos coming cheers Paul.
I see a guy snorkels chesil flat calm, now you fishing flat calm. Can someone PLEASE tell me the portal location to access this parallel universe because I have NEVER seen chesil flat calm
Really enjoyed your fishing first class presentation none stop Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it 😌
You make juggling the kayak, drone, two rods and a conger eel look easy!
Excellent fishing, filming and video editing 🙂
Takes a lot of practice/luck 😂 cheers fella! 🎣

I've never seen it that calm, great choice of day to get out on the water
Nice. I've had some great fishing off the shore there in the past.
All the best
Thanks, you too!

Same all around the country mate. I learned in Cornwall from the old fellas tales of a bass a chuck.
Yeah back in the 80s you brought in a full string of mackerel with every chuck down there👍

@@JWAFISHING apparently the stocks replenished during the war because of all the mines. Could always give that a try?!

Great watch! Do you have an equipment set up list including kayak model please?
Yes mate, I’ve posted a picture and a list of all the minuses for a days fishing on my homepage!
Great content my friend 😊
Thank you 👍

Unfortunately that’s the way the world is going, nothings improving ! By the time they change anything it will be too late.
Lose a fish and see it great video chap liked and a follow 👍
Me too! Thanks mate. 🎣
Thanks for sharing mate 👍🏻🎣 those congers always makes a mess🤮
Tell me about it

Fished it a few weeks ago ,was like Glastonbury ...was one for the bucket list ,no one caught a thing ...maybe next time
Sounds like you need a kayak ! 😉

Thanks for watching mate, I fish the pill side. Both sides fish the same really! I only fish the pill side as I’m that side of the water, good luck !
Be safe ma man
Always !
Great vid,been thinking about kayaking Chesil now I will.You tried Swanage?Caught plenty there.
Yeah fished swanage a few times, been hard last couple of times. What’s it like in winter ?
@@JWAFISHING Not been out for a couple of months but Conger,Wrasse,Rays are present most of the time.Hey maybe we could meet up & go out sometime.
@@weazlepeerman5467 a nice selection then. Don’t think I wanna. Atch another conger for a while though😂 if you have instagram message me on there
I keep meaning to drag my viking down there, I usually fish the Ringstead area
Get down there easterly wind and your away !
Wow, just how far did you have to pull your kayak?
I see a guy snorkels chesil flat calm, now you fishing flat calm. Can someone PLEASE tell me the portal location to access this parallel universe because I have NEVER seen chesil flat calm
Launch by Portland on a easterly 🤛🏻🎣
@JWAFISHING I shall check it out.. thanks 👍👍
liked and subbed
Thanks mate 🎣🎣
I used to get nervous in my 15-foot dinghy !! Cheers.
Coming back in gets the heart going a bit 😬
I think I'd rather see it.
I'll give you a shout about Cornwall when I have some dates, most likely summer
Yeah mate sounds good ! Looking forward to it
How did you permission to fly your drone in a restricted air space? I take it you don’t use drone assist app.
Yes I use the drone assist app
Looks a bit chilly to me 🐟. Rather you than me.
It’s not cold 😉🤥
Looks very dangerous, very risky, and not worth it.
Yes can be if done wrong. Wouldn’t recommend for a novice !
