Ask the Harbour Office to put you in touch with MFV Freedom. She's
specially adapted for disabled parties and will make sure your kids catch
something. Better ask now: I expect they're booking up fast.

Or

Contact the Weymouth Angling Club who have a children's section and -might-
be able to help you all catch.

You see, nearly all kids need one to one attention on their first trip (or
at least 1:2) if they're going to do well. By trip three or four you'd be
able to cope with a party as by then they'll have some idea of what goes
where...

Otherwise, give us some dates and some idea of the age-range and strength of
the kids and the dates you'll be there and we'll give you some suggestions
based on tides and so on. (This a poor third option though.)

Cheerio,

The stone pier is easy to fish. Ragworm for bait - dangled over the
side.

Only downside is that it's a bit of a walk so depending on the level of
disabilities might not be an option.

You can fish the harbour but it's going to be busy with cars & tourists
and the only thing you'll probably catch are snotty (silver)eels -
still if you don't mind the snot they can be good fun...
