Local Fishing
Fancy a days fishing in the Bristol Channel? Listed below are a few of the popular local marks with details of how to get there and what you may catch.
The Bristol Channel is subject to the second highest tidal range in the world and therefore a degree of care is needed on some marks. Fishing at high tide is normally fine but if you fish some of the low tide marks you must be fully aware of the rising tide and ensure that you exit is not cut off by the incoming tide.
The upper channel marks are particularly dangerous and we would not recommend venturing out on to any of the mud banks and sand bars without expert local guidance.

Spot:Porlock
Access:Porlock is on the A39. Drive through the town and Porlock Weir is signed on the right. Follow the lane and there is a large car park right by the beach. The best area is if you walk around the harbour and over the footbridge and then fish anywhere between the cottages and the point to the left. The beach is made up of mixed pebbles and rocks and is easiest to fish over low tide but good casters can fish any state of the tide. As with Bossington night fishing is often best.
Tides:Fishes on both springs and neaps.
Species:As for Bossington but possibly even more dogfish!
