well i have just came back from a week fishing portlandbill/ chesil... chesil you can forget as its terrible fishing atm so id stick to portland, you could do with a medium to rough ground rod as the sea bed has changed and is now pretty snaggy maby even more snaggy than before... you can catch wrasse all day long on portland bill all around the ledges of pulpit rock their are loads their atm i had 18 all over a lb some in to the 2 and 3lb on the bottom last week in 2 hrs fish an hr before low water then you can get away with nearly 3hrs after low after that the tide is running to hard and so you will have to move to one of the cranes on the other side of portland just be warned on the east side under churchope cove and chine the ground is very badly damaged and most ofthe rock ledges and cliffs are about to drop so be careful where you go and walk... regarding bait chesil bait n tackle is the place to go he has some real nice ragworm in atm perfect for wrasse, rays fish and chip shop as you go through portland is cheap and is the best ever... if you take a lure rod and fish the point on the bill you should get plenty of pollack on white side winder lures in 4 inch best to do that as dusk and a high tide... check out Want to know how, where and when to catch it?
