Yesterday ( 25th october ) was the 65th aniversary of one of the greatest Severn estuary disasters ever , the collision of two vessels with the Severn railway bridge . The Alkendale H was carrying heavy oil & the Wastdale H was loaded with petrol,,,,,,,,,Five men lost their lives ☹ Here we see one of the two video's made by Black rock lave net fishermen Richard & Martin who were guided out to the wrecks by a local lave net fisherman . www.blackrocklavenets.co.uk | Black rock lave net heritage fi

The Severn estuary close to our Black rock lave net fishing grounds has the second greatest tidal range in the world , close to a 15m rise and fall on the biggest spring tides. Here we see the flood tide on a medium spring . Get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time and you are in deep trouble. ( sorry about the wind noise 👍) www.blackrocklavenets.co.uk | Black rock lave net heritage fishery

The Severn estuary intertidal zone varies considerably. The Black rock lave net heritage fishery fishing grounds are rocky to the east , turning softer to the west. This area is called the Bedwin sands . This gully looks a great place to fish from the boat and it is now marked on the Navionics app for future reference www.blackrocklavenets.co.uk | Black rock lave net heritage fishery

The Severn estuary has the second greatest tidal range in the world . This enables our Black rock lavenet fishermen to fish and explore the intertidal zone at low tides .👍 Here we have a low tide channel ( which was not there last year ) sand to the south & with some high ground of rock & mud to the north . We think this will hold a few fish and worth a try from the boat. The channel has been marked with the Navionics app. for future reference 👍 www.blackrocklavenets.co.uk | Black rock lave ne

Take a look behind the scenes of the Severn Bridge… #severnbridge #england #wales | ITV News West Country

After a successful day's angling on the Severn estuary Black rock lave net fisherman Martin grounded his boat "Little Devil " on the offshore sand bank called The " Dun sands " . On this particular tide the slipway would be dry at low tide so this was a convenient place to park up and wait for the flood tide , clean his fish and of course have a scout around the bank . www.blackrocklavenets.co.uk | Black rock lave net heritage fishery
