Portland

I, along withy a fw friends are thinking of heading down to Portland, to try some fishing from the rocks, can anyone make any suggestions of where to go, or reccemendf a good tackle shop for last minute advice on a good pont to try from??

Dennings tackle or Andy Selby at Weymouth Angling centre are the places to ask for advice Matt. If you have a head for heights, the pulpit rock is a local hotspot for big wrasse. Along the ledges near the lighthouse for Bass, wrasse & pollack. Good luck.

Many thanks, going to be a few weeks, well at least I think its best to wait until schools have got the rodents back behind the walls.

Like Ian said the pulpit is a favourite. Think you will need plenty of leads and a few big leads as the tides really push through there.

Matt don't go near Pulpit .. there's much better AND safer fishing elsewhere on the rock ...
Any sign of a swell and you will be shitting bricks mate

pm on the way

Pulpit ok to fish over low water neaps too early for big wrasse though nov dec and jan the time some very good bass and pollock fishing on the east side if you shout nearer the time . . .

Just remember to fish the bill tides need to be a couple of hours either side of low. East side 3 hours befor high to an hour after.. Give or take depending on the size of the tides. If you try and fish at other times on the bottom you will be heading for disaster! Suggest the East side cliff marks (Cheyne) would be easiest if you want the advantage of hight without fishing Pulpit which can be a bit daunting the first few times! Coming up to the time of year now when there should be a few decent Wrasse showing.
