I thought it might be worth starting a dedicated thread for all the people fishing around the Weymouth and Portland area to swap locations, phots, area specific hints and tips, as well as details of all the monsters that got away. It could also be used to arrange meet-ups, buddies, boat charters/shares etc. What does everyone else think?

Even though we cant compete with the warm water hunting stories, I think people can understand that it does not matter where you are, if you are in the water or out, sharing the enjoyment either diving with others or even just reading posts brings in the good feelings.  BR

That said, here is some 'evidence' of the initially misty weekend, that turned out just fine!
We awoke on Saturday to thick mist and the thought that diving was going to be no good...we were partly right. When we got down to the cove the mist was lifting but the wind was still pumping SW. We jumped in and immediately felt the effects of all the sea chop (and the full english) and 2 out of 4 of us began 'chumming' the water  (..sorry! )We battled on and suprisingly 3 fish (1 bass, 2 mullet) were taken in next to no visibility....

....Anyway, we had fun and the evening was going to turn out nicely as you can see in pics of the Durdle Door and St Oswalds Bay. Yes we had fish that night...
 And some good effort at Garden Jenga!!!

There are 4 good sized mullet who hang out in Man O'War cove, I've had my eye on them for over a year now waiting for them to get just a bit bigger, hope you guys didn't beat me to it! Looks like it was a bit of a rough day but at least you still got a free dinner out of it.

Struggling to find underwater camera cheap at the moment as i can't find an underwater casing for my kodak digital camera.Looking at all the pictures you've all posted and only living a couple of miles from osmington is making me feel bad
 Will try to go in tuesday night as off to isle of wight for rest of week with work playing golf with customers instead of playing fish killer.Must go in at weekend no matter what the weather is doing,just to feel the freedom of spearing.

The cases for cameras seem to have come down a bit in price since i last looked at them, might invest in one if the summer looks like its going to be good. As for the mullet at Man O'War cove, i had a big one last year (5.6lbs) so am aiming to concentrate on bass this season...

Nice thread...
Curious to know whether anyone has ventured down to Mupe Rocks and can let us know what it is like down there for speargun activity. I've always quite liked the idea of getting down there with the spearguns and have dived pretty close with cylinders and seen a fair number of fish, but having looked on a map its a long hike from the closest car parking point and the water. Waste of time, or well worth a visit...? Cheers
