I fish here alot. There is great fishing in summer and winter. There are a couple of wrecks close to shore which attract trigger fish and there are plenty of other species that can be caught here including: Cod, Whiting, Pout, Wrasse, Dog fish, Bull Huss, Spur Dod, Red Gurnard, Bream, Mackerel, Garfish, Conger eel, eel, Bass, and Smoothound.

Fantastic venue!!!

Chesil Cove ( Portland end of chesil beach )

I have fished here a couple of times, once in the summer where i caught a few makerel on feathers and the other time was winter where i caught a Pout on lugworm using a 1 hook paternoster rig.

There is good free close parking here.
