.. 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,

thanks Derek

"Next week" was deliberatly vague, because no timetable as yet..

Bass & mackerel sound great, as I really would like to target the eatables!
Up here (East Yorkshire), the season has gone very lean, a few bass,
dogfish, whiting thinning out & the occasional codling.

How about bait shops & venues anyone?
