Cllr Kevin Brookes Gold Pin!
Mayor of Weymouth & Portland
Weymouth is situated in a sheltered bay at the mouth of the River Wey on the
2017-2018 English Channel coast. The town is 13 kilometres south of Dorchester and 8
kilometres north of the Isle of Portland with a population of approximately 52,000
and is the third largest settlement in Dorset.
Weymouth Town developed from the mid 12th Century onwards and by 1252
was already established as a seaport with fishing noted as one of its earliest
occupations.
Weymouth is currently regarded as the UK’s premier port containing the county’s largest charter angling fleet and the latest
modern vessels to fish from which are run by highly experienced and motivated skippers. The Weymouth/Portland area offers a
wide range of fishing options and many different species to fish for and, most importantly, can provide sheltered fishing conditions
no matter what the weather. September is the best month for the inshore fishing with bream being a main target species on the
reefs along with rays and turbot/brill on the various banks.
Weymouth boasts a picturesque harbour, beautiful coastal scenery, many restaurants and pubs and a good variety of evening
activities along with a vibrant live music scene to keep us entertained.
I and EFSA wish you all great success and enjoyment during the EFSA European Boat and Line Championships in September 2019.
