Summary:

Adrian Cawte (25/09/2014)
25/09/2014. We set off from Beer just after 08:00 with five of us fishing, clear skies and a light wind. A few hundred yards offshore we stopped for about fifteen minutes to feather for Mackerel to use as bait with everyone catching. That done the skipper, Paul took us a couple of miles out and we anchored over a reef on the falling tide. My first cast brought in a Dogfish and not long after another angler, Marcus brought in a nice sized Gurnard. From then on, the Black Bream started hitting our baits and they were coming aboard at a reasonable rate. It took me a while to connect with one but while I was waiting I landed a Gurnard and a nice Thornback ray. During the middle of the day on slack water, a shoal of Mackerel moved through and were taking the baits meant for Bream on the drop and on the retrieve. We all changed to feathers and had ten minutes of fast and furious action as we hauled in the fish, most hooks being filled on every drop. That over, we went back onto the Bream. The action quietened down over slack water but there were enough knocks and the occasional fish to keep everyone interested. As the tide swung in the early afternoon, the wind got up and pushed the swell up the channel. This made for some interesting fishing as the boat pitched but more importantly, the Bream were showing again with more regularity with everyone on board landing fish and I got four on board within about an hour and a half. The fish were taking small slivers of Mackerel on small hooks. I think we were all using three hook traces with the bottom two hooks taking the fish. Eventually good things come to an end and with conditions becoming ever more choppy the decision was made to head for the shore because it was fast becoming difficult to stand up and keep tackle boxes and gear from sliding around. On the return we again stopped for Mackerel but none were showing. At the end of the day (between the five of us) we landed about 25 Bream weighing in between 1-2lb, 4 Dogfish, 3 Gurnard, a Thornback, countless Mackerel but more importantly we all had a thoroughly enjoyable day with fish showing continuously all day. Many thanks to Paul for a great day and I think we will all look forward to a return trip very soon.

Fishing Report by nick smith
9 Apr 2022 by nick smith
Its been a long time since I fished Beer, and i I was really looking forward to the whole Beer experience, from launching off the beach to being hauled back up on your return, it really just adds to the day. not to mention the fishing can be something special here, and you just never know what you might hook into.
Anyways the plan was to fish as light as possible with most of us hoping to fish with our LRF set ups, which we managed to do for most of the trip, stepping up from the normal 2 - 5g lead heads to using 20g weights to a couple ounces which the rods could easily handle but which made the fishing really hands on....and so much more fun when you get a fish...bait used was squid, mackerel, herring, sand eel and rag worm.
Have to admit it was a rather slow day, due in part to me picking too small a tide, and the dreaded bloom already in the water, but we carried on and it wasnt long before the banter was interupted by Ian jumping up as his rod bent over, this was followed by the usual questioning of "what is it then bud?" from all the other's, along with "cor your milking that dogfish mate," Then George called out he could see colour and it looks very breamy.....and we could not believe it, the first fish of the day was a lovely looking black bream.
Now we had the fish biting, and we started working on the species count...dogfish, whiting, grey gurnard, smoothhound, conger, black bream, and the then George caught something special, infact it was the main reason we had returned to Beer as it was the only place I had ever seen them caught, we had thought it would be too early for them but George called out he had a fish on and it was a male dragonette, and In my opinion the best looking fish we have in our waters, it would look more at home in a tropical sea than our cold water's.
For the last hour of the trip we steamed back inshore and had a drift over the sand to see if we could find any plaice, but it wasnt to be and before long it was time to call it a day and bring up our gear for the last time.
I am back out there again in a few weeks time with more trips booked up for later in the year, big thanks to Paul and look forward to fishing with you again soon.... -

REPORT FOR BBCSSAC TRIP 20TH SEPTEMBER 2021:
Bait ordered in advance from Seaton Tackle Shop at £5 per quarter for Rag Worm. Worm in excellent condition dug from Poole with farmed worm.
All anglers arrived at Beer in good time, met by parking attendant and paid the £5 all day fee and boarded boat and set off by 0800hrs in glorious sunshine, mist and light Northerly winds. Stopped once on way to fishing mark to feather for mackerel with no fish caught... decided to cut the feathering short to get to the reef.
Fishing was patchy to start with but with decent sized Black Bream coming to the boat. Dave had the best Black Bream early on with a 2lb 10oz fish.
Lots of small bites but not the ‘plague’ of scad and dogfish we had last year. Fishing down to Low Tide at 11:49 produced a constant fish count with good sized Black Bream and sizeable Mackerel.
Several Conger Eels were brought to the side of the boat for release estimated at 5 to 7lb.
The highlight of the day was a new Club Record for Guy, a Red Mullet at 1lb 9oz, 0.7087kg, it is a 104% record for the Angling Trust Area C Boat Specimen Weight which is 0.68kg.
As the tide picked up after midday the bites increased with in size Black Bream coming to the boat in a steady pattern.
Paul gutted everyone’s catch before heading back in shore. An excellent day’s fishing, perfect weather, great company and fish for the pot.
David’s Black Bream was 74.9% specimen weight. Guy landed a good sized gull which after a good sized peck was released.
As the Boat Competition for 2021 has been postponed due to the impact of COVID-19 no total weights have been recorded.
