I have but several years ago so things may have changed quite a bit.

 

Take your kit because it is a good area and I am sure a local tackle shop should be able to up date you on local info.

I've not yet seen it for myself, but theres recently been a huge landslide at Charmouth.. Seatown is good and not too far from there.

Charmouth is a good mark in its self. When i was there a couple of years ago the locals where all fishing off the steps in front of the shops on the right. It's all rotton bottom fishing there, rough as hell down there, so you WILL lose tackle. That part of the world is good for plugging around the snaggy ground, so you could try that if you have a will to plug. As said earlier Seatown is a good mark as well. The roads around there are crap. Very narrow and hell when full of holiday makers, so take care. When I go there next I'll be walking and plugging along the shore line.

The nearest tackle shop and bait dealer is at Westbay. They might be a good starting point to find out where's good to fish or not.

I hope this helps. Tight lines.

Float fishing should produce as well.

Hiya

 

Its my neck of the woods! To the left of charmouth as you look out to see it general sea fishing, doggies, small conger, occasional rays and flatties, also bass close in, either spin or big fish baits. Steps are easy fishing if the tide is in, good for bass, 2 hours up to high tide as it gets dark, ditto to the right lots of rock ledges for bass mullet and pollack. Half way to Lyme is a big landslide I'd leave that area alone. Lyme Regis is fun from the Cob but popular as is West Bay. to the right of Lyme is also good bass terratory. The bottom all along is mixed rock and sand/mud. Go down at low tide and have a good look and pick where you want to fish when the tide comes in. Ive always found dawn and dusk best

 

You're also not far from Chesil beach too, good for mackeral feathering, bass and all sorts but you'll need to walk to get peace and quiet.

 

If I can get a day off I'll be at Lyme this week, keep your eye out for a small aluminium dinghy! Oh and go to the aquarium at the end of the cob at Lyme Regis - its worth the £4 you can get real close to fish! I hand fed the mullet - weird!

 

Good luck,
