7.3 miles from Marsh Common
A small, stony cove just east of Battery Point at Portishead, with rough ground, kelp, and fast Bristol Channel tides. Best fished over neaps or around slack water to reduce drag and snags. Depth builds quickly, giving access to conger, huss, rock species and seasonal visitors. Expect heavy ground and...

Urban, tidal-river mark at the head of the tide on the River Avon. Netham Weir creates fast-flowing seams and slack eddies that draw mullet and occasional bass on the flood, with eels and flounder more active at dusk and into the night. Access is straightforward from paths by Netham Lock/Feeder...

It fishes best over the flood and first of the ebb, especially 2 hours either side of high on medium-to-large springs. Expect turbid water,...
