Shore fishing in The Bristol Channel with  

Sensible film. Jansen Teakle, one of the most intelligent, experienced anglers fishing the Channel.

I started replying to the comments here but there are rather a few! Thanks to everyone for the feedback, it was a really enjoyable morning with great company and I think it was a bit of an eye open for John at times. Huge thanks to anyone who hopped over to my channel off the back of this one and hit the sub button. And of course, thanks to John for the opportunity to collaborate, I’m sure we can devise a follow up when time allows. Tight lines all! Jansen (Yansen).

There is nothing more enjoyable to me than watching or even listening to someone who knows what they're talking about and is passionate about sharing that knowledge with others. another wonderful video

WARNING there are areas around the Bristol Channel where the tide can come in behind you and with the speed of the tide it can cut you off very quickly!

I hope there's a part 2, great video and Jensen knows his stuff

The collab I have been waiting for. Great video guys.

Fished a lot with Jansen over the last few years. Learnt loads. Benefits of local knowledge in somewhere as sketchy as the BC makes a huge difference! His knowledge is incredible! Great sesh guys🎣

I live down the North coast (Torridge Estuary). The tide around here, being a few miles down the coast from the Bristol channel is the 2nd fastest incoming tide in the country, that is why there is a lifeboat station here, and we see visitors, bait diggers, and people fishing getting caught on the sand flats every year who need to be rescued. It comes in faster than you can run, especially in waders or just wellies. Great care is needed when fishing this estuary, and there is only a couple of hours window running down to near low tide and slack water. When the tide here turns no usual rig/weight will hold bottom so end of session. The Bristol channel is pretty much the same and will come around you and cut you off before any unaware fisherman can react. Knowledge and care are well needed in these parts. Nice thorny John and Jansen certainly knows his stuff. All the best to both of you.

Thanks John & Jansen, as you said every day is a school day👍

I didn’t know they were flounder marks in the sand, another good snippet of info. Jansen is an excellent communicator

Awesome video again John & Jansen i do the same as Jansen with the top hook on the penel rig have done 4 ages and only use circle hooks. Happy catching from AUSTRALIA Nick

Wow John an early mid week treat, thankyou very much I loved it, props to yer mate Janson for keepin you safe and I’m glad you never took yer first mate on this one he would have bin up to his armpits!

Thank you so much john.i live 10 mins from where you are fishing.lots ov rays,conger,bass,flatties and the odd cod.obviously not as beautiful as cornwall(my homeland)but it will do for me.great video mate🙂

Thank you again for all you do and show us! Subbed to Jansen's channel.

This channel is bloody fantastic. That's all I gotta say

Love it! Thanks John! Cheers 🍻 to this shore fishing!

Brilliant John, firstly to see you out on shore. But a session with Jansen T, what a treat! lots of interesting bits I picked up on this video.i fish quite flat beaches similar to this, have to stay pretty mobile when it’s on flood ! 🤣appreciate your efforts mate ,👍🏼👍🏼

I have learnt a lot not only from your channel John but those you have had on it and it has helped improve my fishing sessions thanks

Properly massive thanks on this one John. Me and my mate have tried several times to fish the Humber. I'm from Cleethorpes originally and as a kid I've tried to fish it and failed. Just watching you and Jansen has made me realise some of the mistakes we've made and improvements we can do to our tackle and techniques. Thank you very much to you both. "Every day is a lesson" indeed. Tight lines bud. 👍

Fisherman goes to Bristol for the first time, gets stuck in the mud. He must be from Cornwall! Joking. Great video again sir. Love it!

2 top notch anglers together both full of benificial knowledge great video guys 😎

What a great educational video showing the wisdom of tapping into local knowledge when fishing in a new area. Had to have a bit of a chuckle when you got stuck in the mud, it certainly added an entertaining segment. Thanks again for another great video John. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

Great to keep safety a priority and another great fishing video. Got error sorted John wasn't signed in . Thanks for technical help. Greg.

Need more of these!!

The squads stomping ground! Nice to see you up these ways! Glad you had a blast. And yea, its not the south coast but its unique and we love it these ways 👍👍

It's great to see the two of you together in the same video - Now you know why Jansen wears chesties ;-)

Will you post another from this sequence? We enjoyed the 30 minute training class. Let's see your results! Fascinating!

An excellent and educational video... smashing!

Smashing upload again John thank you, regards to Hannah, James & the shy one, greetings from Cyprus. 👍👍👍👍🐟🐟

The Bristol Channel is my back yard, we're used to the mud lol. Love Jansens channel too he knows his stuff. 😉

Very interesting,Janson really knows his stuff. Thanks John.

Love the info about the mullet scrapes and flounder marks. Perfect outline of the flounder amazing

Hello, stay safe, and warm hug for all of ur family

Another video with a wealth of info crammed in... Thanks john, and Jansen. 👍

Cant praise this channel enough....again as a novice angler jansen and yourself John explain everything perfectly much appreciated all the best marra 😀 👍

Many years ago my dad got stuck in the mud trying to dig out some worms for bait. Cut a long story short there's still a pair of waders in the Truro River somewhere 😂

He seems to be a lovley lad. Love the voice too ^^. Yes, talking to people that fish an area is key for learning about how to go about the buisness. Good stuff

One of the best vlogs you have done for a long time,

From my expirens flat fish love a flood tide because the heat of the ground. A early evening hightide say about 5 or 6pm after the sun has been beating down on the sand all day will always fish better then a morning tide when the ground is not so hot.

brilliant video and just shows there is always something to learn. I live on a peninsula in Suffolk so our tides can be really dangerous and just like this

It's good to see a day's fishing which looked more like mine, although I never had a guide. The opportunity to 'pick his brain' must of made the day on it's own. Still, nice ray.

Fantastic video. Absolutely packed with quality information and advice. Great stuff.

You must have been within 15 mins drive of me mate, wicked... ive never seen anyone actually tread out on those mud flats... They look like 100% death to me to be honest! Cant believe you came up to Bristol, i spent all summer trying to get away down to Cornwall! Top man.

You actually made sense. Good morning by the way.

That’s really cool. I caught 3 bass on prawn at the pier 😀

Welcome to our part of the coast, it's a bit different from Cornwall but still some good fishing.

Love it 😀😀welcome to the Bristol Channel mr fish locker

Great video👍. Very informative from you both.👏👏 Shows how much that local knowledge is very important. Especially regarding safety. Great watch. Thank you both, and look forward to future collaborations. Take care and stay safe.😷🙊

Jansen has proper knowledge of the BC. I've been watching his vids for a while and the guy really knows his stuff. The BC is not to be messed with, but when you get it right there is some great fish to be had.

Any local information from the people is always worth taking in. Interesting with the bait wrapping the only fishing I have done was on floats and some fly as a kid with my uncle. The low spots are where all the good stuff goes even the gold. Looked like it was a hard days fishing but the ray was a ray of sunshine for you. Cheers mate.

I do enjoy watching you thanks

Welcome to the BC John. Gurt loads of mud everywhere. Stay safe and tight lines. Mike.

beautiful footage as always.. very very nice work

You can’t beat local knowledge when fishing a new mark as you said John. I’ve fished the Mersey from childhood and I still keep learning new things as the river is changing with new construction and old structures cause a change in the river bed, tight lines

Thanks so much for sharing, I really enjoyed watching, it was very interesting and Mr Teakle is obviously a very knowledgeable guide from watching. I hope you can do another video together at the same venue soon! Big Thanks again mate :)

Cheers! thanks for the free lessons!

Another great video. All the lesson's learnt here are good for fishing east coast of Romney Marsh (lydd-on-sea and dungeness) same mud fun!!

I really enjoy your videos very interesting and it never hurts to learn something new

A very different video John, with some great safety points. Total agree with you, a good guide is worth every penny. He can put you on the fish which might have cost you a lot of wasted time, as well as pointing out safety issue’s.

Hi john you ok pal, another cracking vid cheers very intresting. Ive been to subbed to jansen for a while now. Great for beginners as i was a couple of years back so would like to say thanks john 4 the tips ive picked up along from yourself and other tubers. Like you said john every day a school day . All the best from GRIMSBY.

Nice to see you fishing Burnham that were I learned how to fish from a small boy to an adult great fishing do miss it . Moved to torbay fishing not as good as the good old days

Hi John many thanks for posting your videos, you always point out about safety which is great, around the sea or water you can never be too careful, and through out all of your videos you always put safety first and i commend you for this, people like yourself give the viewers like my self give us great entertainment ,knowledge and put safety as a top priority , its a shame dont you think that other people making videos dont follow in your footsteps?

Another great watch!

Very informative - Janson is very knowledgeable

awesome collab Jansen is a great angler and an enjoyable persona same as yourself mate .keep them coming =)

I bet that you're glad that there's no mud in Cornwall. Very wise advice re the guide, you demonstrated how dangerous soft mud can be and how quickly the tide can come in. Here in the wash it can come in behind you so you have to be partially careful. Pity that the fishing was so slow but it was nice to see somewhere different.

Fancy a guy from Cornwall turning up at a river full of flounders without a bucket of peelers!

Nice to see you down my neck of the woods. I go to Burnham for work everyday. I live in Weston super Mare. Happy fishing.

Absolutely gutted!!! Am only down the road in Taunton would have loved to have gone down to meet you legend 🐟 🎣 🐐👍🏻

Thanks for the great video!

great little spot that nice intro to the bristol channel i normally fish to the right can be very dangerous

Excellent Video, can't wait to get back to the UK and start fishing there again

I'll be baiting up here in florida like that on my next trip to skyway pier in tampa,...great show..johnson was worth watching and learning from..thanks..

I rarely fish from shore in Galveston unless there was a recent storm... There's so much vegetation that is wrecks fishing . But , a jetty works well if you can get a spot... Port Arthur has a sand beach & its very shallow to the shelf. But chunk it out 100 met & the fishing is great.

Lol .. Our ocean in Savannah, Georgia USA looks like chocolate milk too...but Panama City Florida is bright blue green so is the Gulf of Mexico ... Crazy how muddy some places are and how clear some are ! Love your show !

Things you don't know you don't know are unknown unknowns. Local knowledge falls into this category which is why it's so useful to have a guide.

Great discussion between experts....30 lb conger from there..now I would be exploring that experimenting!..keep reading the sands.....the sea.. ever keeps us on our toes..I'd leave the tentacles on ..in certain situations...

Thank yet again Up here Nith Estuary dangerous in places Muddy and very Fast Tide

I agree John its a very interesting video M8 thank you Tel G

Interesting stuff ✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER JIM! START A CLUB!

I've been in quick sand before when I was a kid, scariest feeling EVER!!!!

That was different, very enjoyable watch, love the flounder scrapes, some of those would have been really good fish, love those thornbacks, get alot of those on my coast aswell, really good fun to catch, looking forward to the next vid

You need a "mud jacket!" Thanks for another interesting video with a local expert! ATB

welcome to burnham on the mud, never fished from there but on the thornback you caught as you looked out across bridgey bay and past the power station i have but on the boat

We stop off for a few days at Burnham every year on our way down to Cornwall, then again on the way back, helps break the journey down, plus my parents have a place there! I'm gagging to get a line into the Cornish sea, but never really fell inclined to while there, and we've walked that exact spot you fished many a time. Maybe it's the difference in water clarity, I don't know, I just never feel the urge.

Great video Ohn, bet you wished you'd taken your wetsuit for a dive !!!???!! I remember going to Brean as a kid , I enjoyed counting the vast amounts of cars which had got stuck in the mud over the years ! Thanks Ohn 😁👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Brilliant video as always can't wait that you doing guiding in Cornwall

Whoop whoop 2nd Sunday lol. Great video as usual fella. Bz to you.

Than you!

That mud looked tricky glad you had some one with you. You always see on the RLNI programs people getting in to sireas trouble and need them boys to help. But you got a good head on ya shoulders 😏 that ray was nice I've still got to catch one lol great video mate tight lines 🎣🎣🎣

Great info John on using local knowledge is the key I may pop to Falmouth for some local knowledge and of course some gps numbers 😀

Have you ever tried for Stingrays in the Fal? King ragworm. Supposedly they are the Solent as well.

Woooow that tide!!! I know they have good 12m tides in Western Australia, but here in Sydney high tide is probably 1m higher than low tide. That tide is amazing!

Great video👍

John, didn't you know that Jansen has mastered the art of levitation. 😂

With Janson’s name you’re using a Cornish (or Portuguese) J, (for instance, the village of Lanjeth, at least when I was a youngster was still pronounced Lan Yeth). Fun factoid time- fisherman in Cornish; peskador/pyscador/pyskador. Fisherwoman; peskadores/pyskadores. Fisherman in Spanish or Portuguese; pescador. Fisherwoman; pescadora.

Been looking forward to this one since I saw the FB post about it.

Buen video como siempre y el amigo también.

I like Jansen, followed him for a while, good collaboration mate
