Help me find inshore marks Portland !

Hi guys

I've been a keen fisherman since the early days of my childhood, and have been a hooked by inshore boat fishing out of Weymouth since my brother and father purchased a 19 foot Orkney. There are many famous marks such as the Shambles bank just off shore but in rough weather they are out of the question for our small boat. I am wondering if anyone can help me with finding some good marks in my area. I love all kinds of species fishing especially bass, cod and flat fish. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Thanks ! f

Re: Help me find inshore marks Portland !

hi Matt,
I've got a few for you, I used to trail my boat down to the ferrybridge slipway so did some scouting round.
Ringstead ledge is a 30' ridge (shows great on sounder) good for bass daytime and conger night time.
The wreck of HMS Hood in the south entrance to Portland harbour fishes well but divers are a problem.
The main entrance to Portland can produce just drifting through, or anchor outside the fort, especially if the wind is southerly.
THIS IS A DANGEROUS PLACE>>>The Portland race, best place possible for big bass. ONLY visit at the end of a neap flood in calm conditions. DON'T under any circumstance fish the ebb or you will capsize your boat. Drift with live sandeels or mackerel.
Grove Point about a third of the way down Portland Bill, rocky ledges and good wrasse country.

Best of luck
Jules
