Default Sand Point Tips

I'm planning a trip to Sand Point (Weston-Super-Mare) this weekend.

Does anybody know how it's fishing at the moment, or have any good tips?

Fish it on a low tide (I have never done high). Use leads with grips on.
Carry lightly...its a long walk and go steady over the weed.
Good luck.

This agrees with what I've found on the web. Low tide is at 4pm on
Saturday, and I thought we'd probably do a couple of hours either side.
I hear that the tide can be a bit hairy there; is it a "be careful"
venue, or is fishing a flood tide there after dark seriously dodgy?

Use leads with grips on.


6oz grip should hold?

Carry lightly...its a long walk and go steady over the weed.


Good info, thanks.

Good luck.
