Bossington

Spot:Bossington

Access:Take the A39 from Minehead towards Porlock. Look out for a sharp left hand bend on which there is a right turn marked Allerford. Turn right here and follow the lane through the village and carry on to Bossington village. If you keep going through the village the road becomes a rough track which leads to the beach. THIS TRACK IS VERY NARROW AND POTHOLED. IF YOU LOVE YOUR CAR BE WARNED IT MAY NOT LIKE IT! There is a car park in the village and the beach is about a 10 min walk from here. The beach is a very steep shingle bank and can be fished at any state of tide but the area in front of the car park is very snaggy at low water and best fished over high tide. This is the furthest up channel that you can find clear water so it does allow the chance to fish for different species. The clear water also means that bottom fishing is often best at night.

Tides:All tides are fishable but the flood tide on big springs is very strong.

Species:Any fish in the channel is possible here but the most common catches are dogfish, conger, codling, pollack, pouting, smoothhound, rockling, bass and in the summer some mackerel and garfish.
