Overview
As Swanage is very well situated on the Jurassic Coast, it is surrounded by plenty of reefs and banks, within a short steam from the bay.
As spring approaches, these reefs and banks begin to team with a huge variety of fish. Just to name a few are Black Bream, Bass, Dog fish, Smooth-hound, Wrasse, Pout, Pollock and several species of Rays.
We will anchor at some of our favourite marks, providing all rods, reels and tackle.
The most successful baits to use are squid, ragworm and mackerel, which can all be purchase at Swanage Angling Centre.
As we will be in close proximity of the coastline, the surrounding scenery and cliff tops provide wonderful sightseeing opportunities for many seabirds and marine life.
We highly recommend our inshore trips for novice anglers, families with slightly older children or for those simply wanting to try something new.
