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

Sounds sensible - as long as that means you can go when conditions are
*right*

Bass & mackerel sound great, as I really would like to target the eatables!

Imo the gar and mullet are in better eating condition than the bass and
mackerel atm.

How about bait shops & venues anyone?

Pick the venue by the weather on the day.

Bait? There are a couple of shops in Weymouth, one in Wyke, West Bay,
Dorchester, Wareham, Swanage... how far are you going?

Though I often wouldn't take any at this time of year unless mullet fishing.
A couple of quids worth of ragworm will get you the first one which you then
cut for fresh bait. You can be more mobile with a box of spinners and a few
floats in your pocket.

Peelers and sandeels are worth using if you can get them but don't use the
peelers in daylight unless you want wrasse.

Cheerio,
