Beginners and improvers

Session Details

If you’re new to sea angling or looking to sharpen your skills, my 4-hour guided coaching session is designed to give you a proper foundation—or take what you already know to the next level. This is real hands-on coaching, delivered beachside in a relaxed, supportive setting, with tailored advice to suit your level and goals.

As someone who’s spent years fishing and coaching along the Bristol Channel, I know what works and what doesn’t in these waters. The aim of this session is simple: to help you become a more confident, capable angler through clear guidance, one-to-one support, and real-time learning.

Whether you’ve just picked up a rod for the first time or you’ve been dabbling for a while and want to improve your catch rate, this session covers all the essentials—and then some.

We’ll work through:

• Tackle setup and gear choices: what you need, and what you don’t
• How to safely and effectively cast from the shore
• The best baits and rigs for local species
• How to read the water and pick productive marks
• Bite detection, hooking, and landing fish with confidence
• A chance to ask questions throughout, tailored to your learning pace

This shore fishing coaching session is also ideal for people returning to angling after time away, as well as juniors or families wanting to get involved together. Everything is taught in plain English, without jargon, and always with the goal of helping you genuinely improve.

If you don’t have your own fishing gear yet—no stress. I can provide equipment if needed, just let me know in advance when booking. All you really need to bring is some suitable outdoor clothing and an eagerness to learn.

Coaching takes place at carefully selected venues along the Bristol Channel, chosen for their safety, accessibility, and potential to put you on fish. These locations also allow me to teach real conditions you’ll face when you head out on your own. 

You will also have the opportunity to throw questions at me throughout your session. 

This session is limited to small numbers to ensure each angler gets focused, quality time. Whether you’re completely new to the sport or want to improve your results, this is the best way to get guided sea fishing coaching that actually makes a difference.
