Brean Down offers good winter cod and conger eels to large fish baits on 6/0 hooks and wire traces. The Bristol Channel has a very large tidal range and strong currents, so plan around the tide and take care on the rocks.
Fishing UK freshwater in England or Wales requires a valid Environment Agency rod licence for anyone aged 13+. Check if you need one and buy online.
