The Cod Chronicles; Ep1 

There were 6 there on that day but like you said it will only get busier. Thanks for watching

@@BanditFishingUK l used to fish all the time in the 80s, when the codling came in around Hampshire, Hayling beach went from 2 anglers per 100 metres. To my god there's no xxxxxxxxx room. Very tight lines in the Bristol channel. Lads. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🐟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇫🇷

It will be a tough ask for Phil to hit a 10 but hope he manages it. 🎣🎣

Cheers Jamie, eel was almost as tall as Phillip. 5 foot 2 isn’t that tall 😂😂

@@BanditFishingUK 😂😂😂 ye i was thinking that

Thanks for watching Dave

Thanks Matt, hopefully it won’t be long and we will be back out chasing them 🎣🎣

Cheers Rich. Looking forward to meeting up and getting another episode filmed 👍👍

Can't wait mate 👍

Thanks Steve, we’ve both got the bug for cod over the last few winters and hopefully we can document our chase this winter.

Thanks Andy. Probably a few more trips up in the mud before we head down to the clean stuff.

Thank you 🎣

I would have put my money in the eel!! Phil was scared to hold it 😂😂

Thanks mate. Hopefully you can come down and make a guest appearance 🎣🎣

Thanks for watching Chris…. Jump in the car it’s only 3.5/4 hours to the Bristol Channel hahah

@@BanditFishingUK I have a campervan 😎 I am planning just such a trip, just need to time the right tide to the right weekend👍🏻

Thanks buddy.

Thanks Sean. Cod fever has set In for us both. Hopefully it’s a successful series.

Thanks Scott!! Feel free to pop up and join us for a session.

Thanks for watching Kris. Very kind words. 🎣🎣

Cheers Caster’s. Hopefully we both get our targets. It will be a successful winter if we do.

Hi Ian, always used the arrowsmith book and use Cardiff scale ads reference for size it was forecast to be a tad over 10 meters Cardiff but it come up the bank a lot more than we anticipated. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching. Hopefully the cod start to show for us, plenty of bigger fish around the channel at the moment.

Thanks for watching Rich, hopefully we get in to a couple and fingers crossed we get among a better stamp of fish.

Fingers crossed we actually get on Nells this year for you mate. Thanks for watching as always.

Cheers mate 👍🏼

Over the dark side some time in November. Yet to decide on dates. 👍 thanks for watching

Hi Arran, certainly when we’re next down that way we will include that in the videos. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. More to follow this winter…. The cod better look out!! 🎣🎣

Thanks for watching! Yes, the long fish are Conger Eels. We fish two hours or so either side of high tide. We usually fish this area on smaller tides so we don’t get pushed back as far as we did on this day. We usually cast as far as we can (in to the deep water) and we try to retrieve the fish up and over the peat ledges.

Hi Luke; really sorry I think we went out 8-10 times looking for for this winter and only had a few strap eels, pouting and rockling for the effort. Just 1 or 2 fish a session and nowhere near enough content to create a video. Really sorry but hopefully it will be bigger and better next year, only 6 months until they show at chesil 💪💪🎣🎣🎣

For any of the peat ledges you want as small a tide as possible. Calmer weather is also preferred. Most of the marks will give you around 2.5 hours of the flood up to high and 2 hours back on the ebb. There are low water marks but they are very dangerous so we won’t list them here. Sudbrook area can be fished on bigger tides, again over high water. The sea wall at Redwick can be fished on mid range tides (high water) from the top of the grass. If you respect your car don’t attempt to drive to the sea wall down the lane from the farm. Best to park in the village and walk the lane. Farmfields again is fishable on very small (neap) tides either side of high water. Goldcliff is a mark we don’t fish but is an option over high on bigger tides, as is the St Brides area but the cod are few and far between there.

Thanks for the info 🐟👍

@@BanditFishingUK looking for info on the Bristol side up by the new bridge etc any info on that side of the channel please for fishing tides etc 🐟👍

If you search “Veals Bristol Channel marks” on Google you will find a great page on info for that area. If you have any issues get back to us. All the best 👍🏼

Thanks for watching, what do you mean overboard? P.S 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 👍👍🎣🎣
