Fishing AT Bossington 16/10/23 - Plenty of action on the Bristol Channel coast in Somerset

I fishing the pebble beach at Bossington on the Somerset coast , West of Minehead on Monday October 16th
Using frozen squid, bluey, sandeel, , blacks, blow lug and ragworm, I catch a few species on a large rising Bristol Channel tide - 1.7 to 9.7 m (Porlock bay)
2 hook rigs (size 1) , and pulley pennels (1/0 , 2/0) are the rigs of choice together with rotten bottoms to combat the snaggy mark
Parking at the National trust carpark in Bossington , the beach is an 800 m walk from the village and I fish approx 400 m towards Hurlstone point

A nice little session with hardly any tackle loss which is a bonus. Tight lines till next time 😊

Thanks for watching

Fished Hurleston point down the rocky headland years ago and caught red gurnards. 100 yards past the lookout you can access the sandy beach but it's tricky going down the rope to get on the sand. Rays, bass, cod can be caught there but mind the boulders at the water's edge. Primary a low water mark once it reaches the boulders 😮😮

I fished Bossington three times last year and had geared up with rotten bottoms. The first session I lost lead after lead even stepping up to 20lb weak link. The next two sessions I fished normal rigs and pulled out most times only losing 5 rigs over the two sessions. All we had was huss and conger and it was very slow with less than ten fish per five hour session. It's a fabulous venue but patience is needed.

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching - very scenic and the bag is certainly lighter on the walk back to the car park !! Yet to get a Huss there

[@richiethespark]

Nice video with good venue information.
Nice drone footage too.
Shame the better fish never showed but looks like you had steady action keeping you busy.
Thanks for sharing

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it. On reflection, should have tried a few casts with a bigger bait

[@themuddypuddleangler653]

lol me!😂 great informative video, i will try my best to never fish that mark🤣

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching, could have been in the Caribbean , the water was that blue (almost ) !

[@stevenjehu6846]

Good to see Bossington again Al, love the drone footage. If you like hiking you should climb up over Hurlstone for some really dramatic scenery, well worth it.

[@fishingat]

@@stevenjehu6846 Thanks for watching - Will get over the point one day !

[@themuddypuddleangler653]

@@fishingat Cod being caught on the channel now apparently.

[@fishdisco3107]

Nice job Alan, I also find the frozen rag works just fine, better than wasting it. Nothing worse than the shelter blowing over, hope you didn’t have to run too far to catch it! Take it easy buddy 😎👍

[@fishingat]

Thanks Lincoln, lug caught better than the rag. Bivvy chasing, a new sport on Bossington

[@frederickpritchard994]

A tough venue for terminal losses and them stones does my legs in. 😢

[@fishingat]

Thanks for watching , it's one of my favourite channel venues - always a chance of a decent fish there

[@MrJoffG]

Hi Alan, great video. I've been enjoying the two hook clip down rigs too, needed a solution for rough ground, so tried an up & over plus a pulley pennel combined. The pulley needs to be longer than the u&o for it to work. If a fish takes the pulley snood, it pulls the u&o off the bottom and out of danger 👍. Here's a vid! - ruclips.net/video/0Gp1jpNrxkQ/видео.htmlsi=fh3J88ca2J68evfT

Thanks for watching and thanks for sharing the rig - great idea , will try it at some point
