Ok so you have read the title now please read this.
Littleton on severn there is a sandbank just under the Severn Bridge and the tide here floods in very fast.fishing this sandbank is not advised what so ever as the tide comes in behind you.
Aust.
Aust is manly a grass mud bank BUT there is deep ditches ruts deep enough that if you didn't look where you are walking you can end up breaking your leg or even worse.
Severn beach.
This is a high water venue either fishing off the wall or on the beach.Low tide the tide seems to go out a good mile maybe more and when the tide turns it comes in very fast (depending on the wind direction and the height of the tide. DONT WALK OUT AT LO WATER IN THE HOPE OF FINDING RIGS AS BEFORE YOU KNOW IT THE TIDE IS BEHIND YOU.
Rockingham is very much like Aust but you don't want to be fishing this on anything bigger than a 12meter tide imho. DONT WALK ONTO THE MUD,as here the mud is very deep!
Portishead pier.
Dont fish the pier if the wind is blowing on shore and any tide over 11.5meter tide as the water will begin to come over the pier.
SANDBANKS
Soft sand in places which can be anything upto 3 feet deep,depending if we have had a settled period in the weather.
Batterypoint slippery rocks fast current and a very nasty tide. DONT fish Batterypoint on anything over 11 meter tide.
Yacht club/slipway
fishing of the slipway is safe as long as you don't walk of the end of the slipway or to the right or left of the slipway due to the deep mud here.Also if the yachts are out then you will get kicked of the slipway.
Walton bay is a high tide venue but watch the rocks as there very slippery.
Laydebay is either a high water mark or low water mark just watch your footing when either climbing down the rocks or back up.1 slip and you will end up breaking your back due to the height that you may fall,or the rocks that your going to land on if you should fall.
Breandown is manly a high water mark so easy fishing,if you fish it at lo water on the pebbles then make sure you know the way back up.
sandpoint
Here at sand point you have the knuckles which is a very good mark for rays,congers,cod but is also a very dangerous mark as your rock hopping with the water under you. Dont fish here unless with someone who has fished it before.
Weston super mud.
The beach its self is ok to fish on at hi tide (any height of tide you can fish here,either on the beach or off the pavement. Just dont go walking out to sea when the tide is out,as the sand turns into mud and the further you walk out the deeper the mud/sand becomes.
Knightstone island.
Many people have been killed here trying to walk around the causeway,the tide comes in behind you and you wont notice it untill its to late. (you have been warned)
Brean,Burnham,Berrow beach is all sand and apart from Burnham (lower light) these beaches are high water venues.
Burnham on sea lower light.
This is either a high water mark or low water mark,once again depending on the weather,tide,current this beach is either hard to walk on,or 2 feet deep in mud. At the light house if your fishing the tide from low up till high,just keep an eye on the tide as it will come behind you,sometimes 3feet deep in water..
I hope this helps you out regarding fishing some of these marks.
Just remember the sea has no feelings what so ever,its either your friend bringing you food,or its your worse nightmare if you happen to be stuck and in need of help.
On th espring tides 14 meters the tide is bloody fast reaching upto 20knots,even on smaller tides like 12 meters the tide will still run at a good 15 knots.
REMEMBER THE BRISTOL CHANNEL HAS THE 2ND HIGH'EST TIDE IN THE WORLD AND THE 2ND FASTEST TIDE IN THE WORLD.
Please feel free to add to this as long as it points out the dangers of the BC. The more people that are aware of the dangers of the bc then the more lifes we might save.
