I was an overwhelming loser to spider crabs this weekend ! I tried a couple of marks  from the dragons teeth and to the west past the cottages I was using a 3 hook flat fish  rig on one rod and a pulley rig on the other for bass but the only joy I had was if my rig returned with hooks. Only fished a couple hours of darkness with just the expected turning up dog fish,pout and poor cod                    I was spoilt with a stunning sunset and firework display though! I am not sure where I will fish this weekend yet but i will keep looking at catch reports to see what is about .I will be fishing a match in devon on the 7th and another at Abbotsbury on the 14th of june so I will have a few reports to put up this month and hopefully with some fish news!

Fishing Report Sunday evening

I have a fishing match this afternoon/night and I will also do a bit of fishing sunday morning so i wil hopefully have something nice to report sunday evening the weather is looking great for fishing ! The fishing was not as good as i would of  thought seeing as conditions were so good .Are match was moved from Burton bradstock to the portland end of chesil as the national trust had an event on .As for the fishing all i could find was a couple of dog fish and a pout other fish had were gurnard ,pollack and a nice smooth hound just under 7lbs .Are next match is at branscombe of which I haven't fished before so hopefully that will be more rewarding!
