Anyone fish it or fished it?

never been to it let alone fished it.

any advise on where, bait and expected catches please.

[Guest bullterrier]

you can catchwhiting and cod in the winter and you get a spring run of fish thornbacks all year round but you;ll have to beef up your gear for the channel lots of slippery rocks so dont go on your own some places fish better after dark but that doesent mean anything on the channel as the water is really mercky fresh bait and lots of it as you will be recasting alot peeler sqiud black lug ..john

No doubt will go on my own John, my mates are too wet to spend the night fresh water eel fishing!

 

Will obviously be buying the proper rods, reels end tackle etc very shortly.

what would i expect to catch if i went within the next couple of weeks and what bait to use?

is it a strong current?

night better than day?

 

where should i go??

It's got one of the biggest tidal ranges in the world, so I'd assume there's going to be a strong current.

 

Get yourself over to this forum and ask some info, ive always found the lads real helpful on there.

Clevedon, battery point is as good a mark as any, or up at Aust nearer the bridge. Have heard of some good bass coming out from there. Couple of good little cider pubs there too !

yeah definatly , when your on a boat one minute your in 60 ft of water within half an hour your in 20 ft . frightenly rapid

that tide has killed alot of people by catching them out. you need to get the tide right to fish it at certain times .
