Join me for a session out the back of my van, I often get questions about the dangers of the Bristol Channel. This for me is the easiest & safest mark on the mighty BRISTOL CHANNEL.

    ======================================================

    Good morning how you doing everyone welcome back to M head here in Somerset you know this cuz you clicked on the thumbnail as you can see we are fishing from the van one van one shelter as you can see it’s a first of March the weather’s picking

    Up it’s pissing down anyway for my first rig today I have got a 6 o gripper to a splash down £50 rig body to a bead a pulley bead a bead to a swivel and a 90b hook length oh look loaded with a squid let’s

    Go let’s try and get our first fish on the bank maybe a dogfish you he mate I think fancy that’s down it’s just a nice day fishing from the van nothing fancy simple stuff which we can all do there we are a gentle little flick and we’re fishing welcome Back on a squid bait better put the ratchet on and there we are right let’s do the next one sorry it’s raining I’ve got you in the shelter once it stops raining I’ll get you out you can stretch your legs and you can have a look round with me but

    You can watch out rod for now I’ll see in a bit don’t pull the head off grow up keep the head on head is very important on the squid so what I like to do is put a squid on a bait needle we’ve seen this before then I get my bait

    Cotton that’s what the older people call it bait cotton or nicker elastic old school then I get my rig which is you know upside down run the wrong way you know me that’s fine bit of a swell It’s because we had a storm last night honestly I was sleeping in the van W it was amazing it was howling it’s raining so hard it couldn’t sleep well that’s fine we’re here a nice comfy Day fishing I’m not at work so I don’t really care

    Right yeah just get a couple of squid baits out there for now we’re about two 2 hours 40 from high water so yeah we got a chance we may get dog fish I’m just going to try and get us a few bites but we could get some

    Nice Rays at the lower water mark to the L left where I normally fish there has been some spotted and blond Rays After High I’ll probably fish it for about 3 hours down and I may take us out to low but I’m not sure yet but let’s get this

    One out in the water it’s about time I put the kettle on and we sat back and done some fishing good morning everyone let’s go nothing fancy I’m just going to get this out there’s no cars behind so I’m safe don’t be power cast in there’s

    People out here I’m the only one here I’ve got no cars behind me and it’s totally safe so use your brain if you got one think about other people get out there right I got a bite on the right hand Rod yeah honestly looks like a woer yes

    Mate I tighten it up a little bit it’s slacking me off First cast on the whole squid there you go that is a dog now I put a back you like it’s not there well I had a bite I’m try some blow like now we’re just

    Coming up to high water see if there’s a bass or a a codling anyway that bait is Untouched and there we go that’s some blow Lo what I like to do over the top of the tide and the last bit of the flooding tide I like to cast in just so I’m fishing just on the sand and when the tide turns and starts

    Pulling out I try and hit it a bit further but we’re fishing the Sun’s shining I got a friend we’ll get him on camera in a bit he’s been on before he’s just baiting up he’s put his rods right there though no it’s fine he’s walking up and

    Casting but yeah we got Max on camera what’s going on there is that a bite did you see that yeah that’s a fish do you see that this is the one I’ve just cast out on the squid ah you see that I was talking to him my rod just RI rained

    Yeah hopefully it’s a bass oh man there’s a Fisher I think it’s a bass swimming with me hopefully you got that on camera I think I got a bass well it feels like a bass yeah Max you want to get down I got a bass here I’d say I might just come

    On oh it’s come on oh is it a doggy ah man I thought was a bus B fight on the door I got one on there as well now what’s going on I got a bite on this Rod yeah oh there we go I thought I had a BS

    I got a fish on that Rod now as well that went off like a bus anyway that’s a dog fish I was just putting that dog fish back I looked around and this Rod’s gone over as well there we are we’re on the fish everyone I’m not sure what this is probably a

    Dog on my blow lag First cast on the blow lag it’s the one I’ve just plopped out out there this could be another dog another another dog on there we are on the dogs everyone a dog fast in mine head hey where we’re out fishing and we’re getting bites everyone there is

    Another dog fish let’s get him away well we’re on the fish two fish in 2 minutes simple stuff gentle little lobs out towards the rainbow could there be a pot of gold simple stuff unclipped in the air that one unclipped get a blue lug out there

    Again so we’re just over high and as you seen we just had two dog fish in a row that can be a sign of high water and that does happen here but sometimes like I said this Mark can check out some really good fish not only dog fish so I’m just going

    To keep fishing through it keep putting some baits out there and hopefully I can get this into maybe a bass or a codlin oh a blond Ray formb Ray or maybe a spotted Ray so I’m just changing the worm baits as you know for me blow lug

    Probably only lasts about 10 minutes qu of an hour just going to try and put out a double sandal maybe after a ray got a little bit of weight on it here not sure if I picked up a little bit of weed or I don’t know little weight in

    Oh no it’s just come off might been a crab kind have something little on here the sun’s still shining I got a little white in woohoo we’ got another species and there we are everyone it just dropped off I want this for bait look at that we’re bagging up in

    Mine head three fish and two Gast and if I hold it out it’s still small anyway let’s get this double Sand Hill out there in the sunshine in the rain [Applause] give it a little tickle no one’s around me she goes in that side boom boom

    Shakalaka let’s go as I said look around you if no one’s around no cars there you can cast a little bit harder if there’s people on the beach don’t do it as you can see I’m catching fish just overhead fuming I just wanted to get that one a little bit

    Further in the tide So Max has got a bike so what I’m going to do is going to commentate for us so you see this man here in my fake David atra voice Max is talking to his camera he’s tightening up his drag it could be a dog fish you

    Know no I think it’s a doggy go on Max you can do it as if as if he’s messed it up he messed it up your big chance oh no you got it oh yeah you got a fish is it a woer ah doggy yeah

    1. Good days wafting wid a buddy,, I've been bent over all-day laying paving. Oh me back 😂, You've just somehow made it feel so much better 🤗. Thanks mate Ps next stop Mighty Chesil,, yeah 👍 B safe…

    2. You always have the best spots on the Bristol Channel. It looks like a better version of Bossington, but I'd never go back there. Short of being dragged across broken glass… tackle graveyard! Where is this if you don't mind me asking? No drama if not I know some people don't like to say. Tho Bossington, me and my friend saw a Buzzard catch and dismember a rabbit 10 yards from my car. That was pretty cool considering I blanked.

    3. Fished there on Tuesday on a neap tide two hours up to full and then down we started getting bites two hours after full tide and unfortunately we had to leave to come home so looking at that video it seems to fish better in a bigger tide .Great spot though

    4. Great video mate, thank you. Can you tell me why the rig body line and the hook length line are different breaking strains on a pulley rig if it’s clipped down with a splash down as the tension on both is the same when casting?
      I know everyone else does it but I can’t think why it’s not the weakest breaking strain on both?

    5. Hello Wayne. As an all round angler who has recently moved to Somerset, I find your videos are really helpful and informative. Add to that the brilliant filming and great humour. Just wanted to say thanks and very well done.

    6. Hi Wayne can I ask where this video is from
      I live in Medway kent looking for marks down that way to fish
      Any info would be appreciated great watch as usual cheers
