cod hunting on the Bristol channel-tackle graveyard - sea fishing uk

[@fredhall4239]

Good video, the leader knot you use is weaker than the mainline on your reel so it parts easy, i use the bimmini hitch knot takes a bit of pratice but is the strongest leader knot, stronger than the main line itself, i fished Bristol channel myself for the first time last Saturday in Portishead not far from Battery point, for a doggie and a 6lb thornie, both caught at range on squid using rotton bottom tatics, i lost three leads nothing else, i was surprised how rugged the terrain was, but found a clear piece of shore to cast from for a while before high water pushed me up on the ledges, looking forward to going again but will wait for a bottom end neap tide again, the tidal range there is amazing, reminded me of fishing the Thames in Kent with rocks instead of mud, good luck.

Perfect timing, needed something to cheer me up . Thanks Rhys 👌👍

[@Dorsetlive50]

That’s a cracking place to fish mate fish there a while back had a couple codling then climbed down had loads of rigs and weights 🤣🤣

[@Madmicksoutdooractivities]

Nice to hear someone on youtube stating the truth about fishing. Ive gone 3month without catching a cod during winter on North Yorkshire coastline. Had best baits good seas and out a couple of times a week. Like you said Rhys you cant catch them if they not there 👍👍

[@craigwilkinson3773]

Love your videos bud. Wish i could get to do as much fishing as you all do. Very jealous bud. Keep up the great work and effort that you sre putting in. Tight lines

[@tytzup5397]

Few places near me to target Blondes and small eyed. Along with undulates Thornie and stingers. (Solent)

[@hunkydoryangling8200]

Not seen them rotten bottom links before, like the look of them, thanks for showing 👍👍

[@johnburling9969]

Fair play to you & Sam looked very difficult venue good luck on the next mark keep em coming Ryhs 🎣👍

[@southcoastangler1238]

Looking forward to the next one. Shame about the blank but that’s fishing. Great video 👍👍👍👍

[@kevinbuckler1085]

I feel your pain on a mark like that ! Got to agree that the bimini is worth learning to tie.I think there's some info on Veals website which includes that area 👍🐟

[@cazwalsh1]

All the gear and no idea,only joking ,excellent as usual ,keep up the good work

[@markdannatt9680]

Cracking video Rhys shame there was no fish but looking forward to the second part of it

[@nutsonfishing5818]

Lol I love that mark .best cod mark on the channel on it's day I lost 2 monster cod off that mark easy 20lb + long story on that lol

[@chrisbree3467]

Hi Rhys &Sam, that Lady Bay seems like a right ball breaker. You’d need to be a bit dedicated to fish there. Good luck on your next session.

[@tombayford6299]

Hi mate next time you fishing lady bay .at first point. Were you pointed low tide then 2nd point. Paths. Send me a call. Tom Bayford. You can fish up and down on sand.

[@craighall4675]

5:05 u could cut strips from ur trousers to use as bait fs lol . Awesome vid as always lads 👍

[@paulbaker2959]

Should of gone past the first point on to the flat ledges as your casting onto sand, first point is full of sand coral although it does throw up some good fish 👍

[@FishHunterUK]

That's next time dude

[@FeG091]

On the first point at Layde bay the snags are all to the right, the left hand side is clearer ground. Oliver’s angling knows where the snags are and will tell you where not to cast. Good video tho, I know how frustrating the snags are in the Bristol Channel 😂

[@darrelwhetter9185]

Great video fella 🌊🎣🐟😎👍🏻

[@MrSupermink]

niceone rhys bet thats a proper death trap a night

[@gary-dn4uw]

Nice video again 👏🐟

[@lizwallace9672]

Still an enjoyable video Rhys but if the fish are not feeding you won’t get them and it don’t matter there were no fish you stuck it out and gave us something to watch so thanks for that till the next one take care

[@ade_mj_fishing]

Rhys, pier at Clevedon not worth the effort when you're not a member. Being a member gives you 24hr access whereas day anglers have to pay at the gate. Quite pricey per rod too. Next time, try the pump House on an evening tide. (pump house is by the outdoor old swimming pool) snaggy like lady Bay, but bit more comfortable to stand on. 😉 Tight lines bud.

[@IsleOfWightAngling]

Class video mate, well in

[@stephenbuckham9964]

Good tip about the rotten bottom 👍

[@kevinstyles8421]

Great video did look a bit of a death trap

[@anthwalker162]

Cracking video Rhys

[@ryanlotgd]

should of tryed lower down the channel burnham lowerlight as an exsample can fish it any state of the tide which is a rare one for a channel mark fishing on mud/sand fishing into mud /sand throws up loads fo cod 5 of us went about this time last winter had 12 cod between us 2 dubble figure all fell to single blow lug baits on 2 hook clip downs dont need a huge cast eather as one of the dubble figure fish was caught no more than 10 yards out

[@boatfishingsouthwales9544]

Quality again bruv 👍

[@mattpearce4313]

Hi guys there doesn’t seem to be a join button next to the subscribe button. Dunno if it’s just me but it might be a problem for you fellas

[@BRISTOLDNB]

Hows the imax therma smock mate?? They're not very pricey now and was looking at them...need much clothing underneath for a cold North wind? Great episode.

[@BRISTOLDNB]

Also how the hell do you bite through 60lb odd shockleader with ur teeth lol.

[@FishHunterUK]

I love mine mate I just ware a hoodie underneath it dose me it's everything else that gets cold lol

[@wmillar2005]

Subscribed sir, try tying a spider hitch you will find less gear 👍 almost as good as a Bimini twist. Keep up the good content

[@boatfishingsouthwales9544]

Good work m8 you are a hardcore fisherman come to Wales your welcome out with me any day

[@jordanspooner7429]

What’s the reason for not using a tapered shockleader mate ?

[@FishHunterUK]

They just cost to much mate I use them on fixed spools tho

[@raymondhaines574]

You should have walked anouther 5min and fished from the ledges

[@leeflay5243]

the sandy bay is lady bay

[@mancunianlee]

You can't spit your tag ends out, there's enough plastic in the sea. Do it off camera if you cba binning it.

[@FishHunterUK]

Although it was only about 3mm of line I get your point but what about the 11 rigs we lost just a tiny tiny drop in the ocean but but point taken

[@tomthompson8514]

Rather watch the fishing than the crap on tele cheers mate

[@chrisuk1000]

Don’t you just hate losing rig after rig

[@steveblack1971]

20 minutes of my life I’m never gonna get back 🤦🏻‍♂️
