Rough Ground Sea Fishing - One Of My Favourite Spots!

  • Back to Gavin and Stacey country at Barry Island for a spot of Rough Ground Sea Fishing, on Nells Point. Not far from Whitmore Bay, this is one of my favourite South Wales Sea Fishing marks along the Welsh side of the Bristol Channel, I have been fishing it for many years, since the 1980s and there's something magical about the place. In this video, I am fishing over rough ground, not easy fishing but many different species can turn up such as Cod, Codling, Whiting, Pouting, Rays, Smooth-hound, Conger Eel, Bass and more.
    Thank you for watching, it is very much appreciated!

      Great show totally agree fish should only be killed for eating and no more than what you need. Nothing to report this end been waiting for a calm day to get the boat out plaice fishing and the calm day hasn't happened last time I spoke i was going dab fishing which didn't go well either l will get out soon happy Easter

    Gareth I’ve always liked the way you handle and return your catch with respect compared to many others who talk about fish care but drag fish all the way up the gravel only to fling them back without due care. Your respect matches your affirming and positive attitude and demeanour. Thanks for the effort as always.

    • @riversidewithme
      @riversidewithme  2 місяці тому

      Thank you John, I appreciate that. Yes fish welfare is so important isn't it but as you say, many don't treat the fish like they should and that's a bit sad. I always try my best to give the fish the respect they deserve, I love seeing them swim off. Cheers for watching 👍

I love your whole approach to fishing and your respect for wildlife, good on you mate. I can totally relate to so much of what you say in your videos, especially about memories of fishing with your Dad, had some amazing times fishing with my Dad, and fishing the same old places keeps the memories alive. I had a walk down Brixham the other day, you’ve said you love it down there, the sea looked cracking (inbetween the torrential showers!), just wish I took my rod! Looking forward to the next video. All the best.

    Hi Gareth great to see you back. Fishing is poor all over at the moment 😢, where I live in Kent we have only Dogs around at the moment, when compared to last year we were catching Rays, Whiting, the odd Codling & Dogs. What you have said in your video is definitely correct down here with over fishing responsible for most of the lack of fish. Earlier this year the commercial boats took over 100 tonnes of Rays from my local area & since then I’ve not caught one.

    • @riversidewithme
      @riversidewithme  2 місяці тому

      Thank you David, much appreciated, it was nice to be out there again. Absolutely disgusting isn't it, taking over 100 tonnes of Rays is criminal and it should never be allowed. I hope one day we will see a lot of it banned but it shows no sign of slowing up and that's worrying. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍

Sadly that has been lost these days, its all about the latest gear, catching specimen fish, most anglers these days have absolutely no idea or care about their surroundings, you do and that's why I love your videos so much, even down to your choice of background music, brilliant 👏

I was lucky enough to spend the best parts of 15 years in the angling game as an angling writer,sponsors, radio appearance etc etc and in the end the whole reason I started angling was lost to me. I decided to pack it all in, do something new and never picked a rod up for 3 years. I'm back at it now, strictly as a hobby and strictly to relax and unwind, the wasy it should be.

So you park in Nell's Point carpark (pay and display), I think it's open between 8am and 11pm.

    Maybe it's because my car was broken into the last time I was there.???
    You are one hundred percent right about the fishing situation at the moment ..
    Perhaps it will improve ?? Perhaps if they stopped allowing raw sewage into the rivers ..it would help...
    However you might find the fishing better on the other side of the channel..

    What an excellent video and congratulations on reaching 6k subs. Well deserved. Clearly what you are doing attracts the viewers. From the beautiful music at the beginning and the short quotes you have started putting up all add to the experience. A nice little session all in all even with the doggies.
    I know you said you weren't about showing tying rigs etc but the only rig I ever see used here is a straight forward paternoster rig apart from a whiting rig which differs a little. It has a hook at the end with a running ball lead with a stopper so the fish catch themselves. Would love to see the flapper rig.
    I totally agree with you re fish and animal welfare in general but if I ever catch a Garfish or King George Whiting, they are coming home with me. They are the equivalent of 35 pounds and 45 pound per kg respectively in a fresh fish shop but they are both a rare catch for the same reasons you described.
    I'm so glad you get out and get to fish on your own without the hassle of always filming. Just a little jealous!!
    Thanks for another interesting video. They always end too quickly for me.

I know I said I was going to do another giveaway but after the last one, I vowed not to do another one, it was too much hassle, grown men moaning because they didn't win, ridiculous. Yes I've always been big on fish welfare, I guess I respect nature in general. Nothing wrong with taking the odd fish for the table and so I wouldn't blame you for taking a Garfish or a King George Whiting. I'm pretty sure I showed a diagram of a flapper rig on one of my early videos, I'll take a look and will let you know. The next video will be next Friday, I had a session this morning, weather was spot on in fairness.

      Yes I'm sure we'll bump into each other Andrew. I'm pretty sure I saw you down at Newton Beach last year, you were making rigs on the slipway. Or maybe that wasn't you, apologies if it wasn't.

      @andrewjones956 Ah right. Yeah I'm the same, I make the rigs in the house before I go. Thank you, I haven't fished Ogmore for a while, will give it another crack at some point.

    Another enjoyable video , do you ever think of using crab at those rocky marks? I know they can be expensive but may temp an early bass out for you 😁

      Thank you bud. Yes I do sometimes use crab at this mark, although I can rarely get it up my way these days. I've had some nice Bass off this mark over the years, can be great on its day. Cheers for watching 👍
