If sea angling is your thing then the waters
off Weymouth and Portland have it all. From the infamous Shambles
Bank to the rollercoaster ride of drift fishing The Race -
fishing these local marks can become quiet addictive! - yielding
conger to 103lb, ling to 42lb, cod to 22lb and coalfish to
27lb.
Weymouths 20 boat charter fleet - one
of the largest in the UK - are fully equipped with state-of-the-art
technology. Their skippers having a combined knowledge of
about 800 local wreck sites can offer an action packed weekend
whatever your tastes.
If EFSA, the organisers of the European Boat
Championships werent so happy with the local crews and
conditions they would not have asked Weymouth & Portlands
council to have them back for the European Championships in
2006 - thats some endorsement!
