Have a look at http://www.################### in the area relating
to where you're at - you'll find loads of info there.
I notice that your only response to any and every enquiry here is to spam
your shopping website - Try at least to be help posters before you raid
their wallets.
You don't need a permit to sea fish - at the moment...
Not quite true. On the open coast in the area you stated you need no permit
to fish. There are several areas closed to public access (MOD ranges) and
some where restrictions apply (Pool hbr, the Fleet, Most of the Devon
estauries) - in these places Bass fishing is resticted to shore fising only
and in several places access to harbour/pier structures is regulated and
charged for. Should you go to Scotland you will find estates who control
their coastline.
To take seatrout and salmon from the shore you require a migratory fish
licence as inland.
I'd appreciate it if someone can please give me some advice with
regards to sea fishing in the Dorset / Devon Area.
First of all, I've never been sea fishing in the UK, but am a regular
trout fly angler. Are there any rules and regulations I need to
It's only about a month from now that the main sal****er fly fishing season
starts on the channel coast - there are already a few fish inshore that
will take a ff'd lure but atm you'll need -big- lures, at least 5" long on
tandem #2/0 for eg, but at the end of June size #8 - 4 is about right.
observe in relation to sea fishing? Do I need permits etc?
I was looking into being in the Poole area over bank holiday weekend.
Also, can you please tell me where I can go fishing off a beach not
too far from Poole for a few hours? I would prefer a quiet/isolated
beach or something as opposed to Poole Quay.
'Quiet' and 'not too far from Poole' on a bank holiday are mutually
exclusive. -First- light at Kimmeridge would be a good plan for a
spinning/plugging session. To get there for first light you'll need to
leave Poole by 3.00am Expect to finish fishing before 7.00am. You could
try Dancing Ledge and Durlston on the same basis but *only* if you have
someone else along for mutual safety.
Am I allowed to fish off the beach by Durdle Door?
Yes, but don't bother. It'll be too busy.
I was also try a spot of fishing around Abbottsbury and Chesil beach.
Is there anything I need to know about fishing there?
Again, don't bother. A beginner will catch little there that's worthwhile.
If youre going that way run a little farther down the coast and spin/plug
the area around Golden Cap. The water will warm below the cliffs a little
faster and bass should be feeding - if you can get to them without scaring
them. Try the Ringstead area for a couple of hours dusk into dark with the
spinners too.
If you fancy floatfishing in daylight most of the deepwater marks will have
garfish and perhaps occasional mackerel - fish only a metre or two down over
deep water with as light a float as you can manage.
If you'd like to try mullet fishing they're in - and they should start
feeding reliably any day now. The odd fish have been taken since the warm
weather at the start of April but about now they'll settle into the summer
pattern.
You asked about Devon - if you're going that far about now is the time the
huge mackerel run off the quarry at Berry Head...
Hth, Cheerio,
