Bristol Channel Fishing- Beautiful Venues And BIG Fish (Eventually)
Спорт
Join me as I fish for summer smoothhounds and winter bull huss on the lower reaches of the Bristol Channel coast at two spectacular locations. The first half of this video was shot in June of 2021 and although the fishing was slow, this was until recently the last opportunity I had to put a video together. As you’ll see, the winter fishing session more than made up for this with numerous fish captured on film including two specimen bull huss.
I hope you enjoy the show and thanks for watching!

Finally got to watch this and it didn’t disappoint. Really great marks and some exciting action throughout. Brilliantly put together, well thought out and very informative. May I ask one question and gather your opinion, although to be fair I have loads of questions. Recently purchased a Vass waterproof lightweight jacket. Dismissed the Guy Cotten you were wearing based on price and how often I get to fish, living in land locked West Yorkshire. Five wet days out, two fishing, two dog walking and sadly it’s starting to leak already. Possibly I’ve damaged it, possibly there’s a fault, I can’t quite tell. Don’t want to discredit Vass as they make a great product ordinarily, but after the experience and seeing you wearing the Guy Cotten, would you recommend it based on your experience?

Wonderful , thanks for sharing that. I love how casual conger catches are to you , they are still a significant catch here in Sussex. Agreed that water colour looked just right - I miss fishing for Huss on the llyn and they started laying! In late March , are the seasons getting earlier or do the North Welsh Huss just arrive later ? Again top video 👍👍 Thanks again
@thegamblingangler

Thanks Matt. It is a little early for the huss to lay, but it seems that the seasons have been upside down for a few years now. Perhaps it’s because on the whole, our winters are now milder? Who knows, but it’s always fun trying!🙂🎣

I'm going to Minehead in a couple of months just to spend a week fishing, can anyone recommend two decent quality fixed spool reels, roughly costing around £70 each. I want something that will hold plenty of mono rather than braid. In fact any tackle info would be good as I haven't bought anything yet, need couple decent rods too.
