Learn More

No dedicated accommodation but plenty of hotels, Airbnbs, and seasonal holiday lets throughout the area. Please email for recommendations.

We aim to give you a fantastic experience while wading from the shore in beautiful surroundings for what many anglers consider to be the most exciting saltwater species in Europe: sea bass. This slow-growing and stunning fish always puts up a fight and will never give up even when under your rod tip.

All tackle and flies can be supplied, but please review the kit list at the bottom of the Terms & Conditions on the website for personal items, such as chest waders and eye protection.

The sea along the south coast of England is teeming with many species of fish, such as sea bass and all three species of grey mullet, with mackerel and garfish in abundance in the summer months.

With numerous castles, Royal Navy ports, and museums, plus superb yachting facilities, the area is a fantastic holiday destination outside of fishing.

What equipment is provided?

The very latest models of Orvis rods, reels, and lines.

How long does each day/session last?

A minimum of six hours, but they often last much longer.

What time do sessions start and finish each day?

Successful shore-based saltwater fly fishing is dependent on spring tides, daylight hours, and the weather. A day may start at 6 a.m. and finish after lunch, or start at midday and finish well into the evening.

If accommodated locally, how far would I have to travel to meet my guide?

The Fishing Marks are located 30–40 minutes' drive from the majority of local accommodation.
