Planning a session in Nore, Black, Somerset? Start with Black Nore Point, Redcliff Bay and Woodhill Bay. Switch between lures for summer shoals and ledger rigs over rough ground; the nearby marks below include distances, access notes and species tips.
8.2 miles from Nore, Black
Urban estuary mark on the Hotwells side of the Cumberland Basin and River Avon, offering deep, fast, highly tidal water alongside vertical quay walls and railings. Access is easy from pavements along Hotwell Road near the swing bridges/locks, but expect powerful currents, big tide range, coloured water and changing levels....
8.5 miles from Nore, Black
Tidal estuary mark on the New Cut at Vauxhall Bridge, central Bristol. Fish from the railings on either bank (Cumberland Road or Coronation Road) targeting the eddies and seams around the bridge abutments. Bottom is mainly silt with scattered rubble, so use light leads and keep gear moving to avoid...

Expect strong currents, fast-flooding water and soft mud beyond the rocks—stay on firm ground....

It fishes like an urban estuary: mullet are the headline quarry, with flounder, eels and the odd bass. Access...

Urban tidal mark on the New Cut (River Avon) beside Gaol Ferry Bridge. Steep quay walls, strong tidal flow and a silty bottom with occasional debris; best fished from the paved paths on either bank near the bridge (do not fish from the bridge itself). Depth is decent on bigger...
