Places to fish near Swanage

Nah - though I think I know where you mean (if it's the little bay with the ... er ... cave, I've seen them there too). The mullet were at another similar secret spot just a little west of Lulworth... (I imagine you can guess where I mean) - I've normally seen them there, usually close inshore round the rocks. Saw a biggie last weekend but just the one and only from the surface - so they're about. I've seen them in just a few feet, round Durdle Door and Man o'War, pretty much swimming around people's ankles...!

Damn - I'm sharing all my wares but see also




(I just disturbed a whole shoal kinda resting; bigger versions at Picasa Web Albums - David P - Misc)

Also a short video at David P's web site which has some amazing non-shy mullet round the rocks just west of Durdle Door. One of these days I'll update it!

Appreciate the point about Swanage Pier! I'd only go there in company, bit too busy. S Purbeck I'll happily explore as and when I want.

Great images. Kind of frustrating looking at those mullet though - inflammed sinuses & a new speargun. I rarely encounter visibility that good -- nice when it happens though (although the fish usually see me first!). Particularly impressed by the crab & lobster pics. I've seen lots of spider crabs but only one brown/edible crab & lobsters only in pots so far. The video was good - kept my attention all the way through.

I meant Shoreham (or was it Christchurch?)
