Poole area general
In the Poole area offshore banks can be fished with good results in the early spring for large numbers of good size spurdogs (pregnant females must be returned) (click to see pic 1).  In the late spring bass arrive and can be fished for during most of the summer. Good blond rays are caught here throughout the year.

On small tides and calm days we can anchor by offshore wrecks with great results for good numbers of pollack and large conger eels (click to see Pic 2 & 3).

On small tides mid range reefs offer mixed fishing for smoothounds, rays, bass, eels & bream (click to see pic 4).

Bream fishing
Bream are very prolific around Poole on the many inshore reefs and mixed ground, they can be caught from  April until October (click to see pic 5). In the same areas bass can also be targeted but this does take more patience (click to see pic 6). We operate a policy of returning all large Bass i.e. over 8lb.

We have a great deal of success over inshore flat ground  with good numbers of rays,  bonus bass and the chance of small turbot or brill, these are all best fished for with  light tackle (click to see pic 7). We return all female and  large male rays.

Tope fishing
The tope fishing from Poole can be a very enjoyable day out drifting with medium to light tackle, it is not uncommon for us to catch over 40 double figure fish (click to see pic 8).
