South West BC road trip

[John Mitchell]

Bananas and Rock marks talked me into a road trip to the Bristol Chanel , after a hour and a half drive up the M5 we got there , I met bananas at Exeter we had arranged to get to Haldon hill and them phone each other for the drive up , well talk about perfection I came down Haldon hill and Bob came out in front of me perfect timing .
We got to our chosen mark and after a visit to the local loos we were ready , a quick phone call to martyn and there he was just a hundred yards away .
The tide was on its way in and it was blowing hard and cold , so we got suited and booted and got down on the sand and mud .
I had rag and lug ,squid and mackerel and frozen black , first rod with a 7oz lead on was launched toward the horizon and landed about 50 yards out ah well it was in the water next up was the worm bait a 2 hook rig , I didn’t wait long before I had a bite fish on a little codling maybe half a pound , I ended up with 7 codling and a whiting, a very enjoyable day trip with a couple of good mates .

Great report and pictures of what sounds like a good fishing and social session

Cracking to see the numbers of codling, hopefully a good sign for the future. Top angling.

Was a good short trip, Me and Martyn didn't have as many Codling as Jonny pulled in, but I had a few so that was good for my hunt. Nearly managed to avoid the dreaded mud just glad it wasn't that deep!!



Got a bit fun when the tide came over the steps restricting casting. Nice easy place to fish with no monsters swing around tho
Was good larf tho fishing with the lads roll on the next trip.

Ah the local wall, not been there for years!.... Used to be a great area for monster yting back in the 90's.....think a record even came from there!

Good angling to get a few codling lads.... I could have waved after all ?

I only had flat rats, an eel and a dog... Couldn't fine a codling ?
