Re: portland harbour flatties

Went flattie fishing, in january. Sandsfoot castle, on the secluded beach under the Castle. We fished for a couple of hours, next to the boating pontoons. Ragworm seemed to be the best bait, on a two hook flapper rig.
The magic is to cast very close in about 15-20 yards, where the sand is being turned over by the waves.
Give it a go!!!

Re: portland harbour flatties

You could also try fishing right in where the new sailing academy starts. Once again keep it close.
