oldypigeonpopper Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Hello, night or day ? depends on time of tide, how high and if there's a westerly wind, I walked the length of brean down and fished off the rocks for nowt while a chap fishing near the steps caught a nice cod but it was late autumn , best advice is from a local tackle and bait shop, fishing off a pier might be more suitable this time of year, there's an april video by Ian Clarke fishing Brean beach catching a big bass, you can see the down in the background, and digging for bait which maybe lug worm ? You can walk the tide in but be careful of soft sand, oh and last, have a great holiday 👍 Edited June 15, 2023 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m lucky we have a place down there so go monthly 😎. I’ve just never bothered with the sea fishing there. high tides 7pm so 4pm start 😎. A big bass would be a dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big bass would be a dream Hello, sounds good, I did 2 hours before high and 2 after but an hour to get the gear ready , what bait have you got, lug and sand eel can be a good mix, unless I was after flatties a 1 hook rig was my main beach favourite, 4 ounce weight, 18inch snood , number 4 hook maybe 2 if your doing sand eel and lug together, hook clip just above weight , good luck 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobba Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 If You’re a very lucky bunny don’t overlook that the take limit for bass is two fish per rod per day. And retained fish to be 42cm. - Bass sea fishing guidance 2022 certainly not a jobsworth. Just a marker to protect the innocent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lug and peeler I’m thinking Hello, for peeler your need to tie on to stop them falling apart on impact , it also depends on type of hook, sand eel are good for that area and up the channel, you could do a 2 bait rig , peeler, lug, eel and lug, thread on the lug up the hook then a bit of eel, lug are dug off those beaches at low tide, you might need a longer hook but the shop should help when you buy bait, if you watched that video you do not need cast to the horizon 😁, good luck, ps 2 rods fishing together 🤔 why not 👍 Edited June 17, 2023 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, well done 👍, local knowledge and a good tackle shop 👍, your 2 rod rest and rods look great, I still have mine made by Ian golds down Portsmouth way as I mentioned, get into autumn towards winter when the holiday people go it will be better for fishing, more so after a westerly blow, I caught my best bass at West bay , hope you give it another go 👍 Edited June 18, 2023 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldypigeonpopper Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 Hello, I was thinking 🤔🙄 😁 you might find a bait pump useful on Brean beach if you want some lug worms and tackle shop shut ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
