coming down to Dorset next week along with rod. Based north of Dorchester.
Any recommendations for where to fish, bait supplies, other helpful tips?

I took my first open beach mullet of the year on sunday at Ringstead so
don't forget the light gear and few loaves.

A few bass were taken last neaps by people spinning/plugging on quiet
beaches over the top of the tide. ('Next week' is a little vague - ht from
11am-5pm would be worth trying.) Otherwise garfish and pollock are coming
to the float on Portland.

There are mackerel all along the coast but they're not coming within reach
of shore with any reliability yet - you should get a few at first light from
Weymouth's Stone Pier or you may hit a shoal at Burton Bradstock if you like
that sort of thing.

Cheerio,
