Target Cod on the Bristol Channel

Session Details

Winter Cod Fishing on the Bristol Channel – The ultimate gamble!

The winter months on the Bristol Channel offer one of the most exciting and challenging opportunities in UK sea angling — targeting cod from the shore. While cod were once caught in big numbers along this coast, times have changed. Today, they are far less abundant, and success demands experience, local knowledge, and the right approach — All the more reason to book a guided session. 

This session is designed to give you far more than just a few hours by the sea. You’ll gain a complete understanding of how to fish effectively for winter cod along one of the most hostile coasts in the UK.

What the session includes:

• Tide and timing strategy – Learn how to read the tides and time your sessions for maximum effectiveness.
• Venue selection – Explore productive and often overlooked marks along the Bristol Channel coastline.
• Bait and presentation – Understand the bait options that work best, and how to prepare and present them.
• Tackle and rigs – Use the right gear, with guidance on rods, reels, rigs, and setups designed for cod fishing in winter conditions over rough ground. 

With fewer cod around, every detail matters. That’s why these sessions focus not just on catching fish, but on teaching the full method — building your confidence and knowledge for future sessions.

Whether you’re new to sea angling or looking to refine your skills, this is a chance to fish with purpose and gain insight that makes all the difference.

Limited winter dates available – early booking is recommended.

The fish may be fewer, but the reward is greater. Let’s go find it.
