Shore marks

Cogden is towards the western end of Chesil beach, not far from West Bay.

West Bexington was the first mark on Chesil I remember fishing.
In the summer there can be hundreds of people fishing this mark and you may have to walk along way to find a spot.
Mackerel, Dogfish, Dabs, Pout can be caught with the odd Ray and the occasional Red Mullet in warmer summers. Winter species include [...]
