What we offer
The Bristol Channel has the 2nd biggest tide in the world, making its waters an excellent venue for sea angling trips, reef or wreck fishing all year round. Our experienced skippers and crew are always ready and willing to offer as much or as little instruction and aid as you require, and all tackle and bait are included. You are of course welcome to bring your own gear, however.
