Welcome Gordon,
There are loads of places to fish, however, some fish better at certain times, tides, weather etc.....i think everyone is still learning.
Let us have more info re your boat, size ect. Dave Samuel will be along at some point to advise you about having a free RNLI Sea Safety Check, which you will gain great advice from - it is more of a discussion than an assessment and I found mine very useful!
Try and fish our Open on the 23rd and then come to the October meeting in Parkstone on the First Thursday of the month!
