Welcome to sea angling! You will soon know the joys of driving for 3 hours and spending a fortune on fuel to catch bugger all! lol!

I would have said the Bristol Channel...upper channel around clevedon should be around 1.5 hours from you down the M5. Fishing not great around there at the moment though!

Same length of journey will see you in S Wales where the Rays and Doggies are now showing. Could always try Perch Rock at New Brighton for Dabs.

why not go to Birmingham airport and get a flight to Cork. Only 50 minutes and better fishing as well, at least in my humble opinion!!

I'm in telford, but if some of you midlanders fancy a trip I would love to tag along. I am a newbie to sea angling and could definately benefit from a push in the right direction!
