The source covers the Beachley and Severn Bridge area at Chepstow as one mark and says it fishes for some decent cod, flounder, school bass and silver eels. Baits it names are lugworm, squid cocktail, peeler crab and worm. For rigs it suggests two-hook flapping rigs with size 1/0 hooks for the smaller fish and pennell rigs with larger hooks when you are after the bigger cod. The source gives no tide times, so check the state of the tide yourself on this big-range estuary. The map pin is at Beachley Point beside the bridge.
