Bit late finding this vid Gareth, good session, I don't mind the rough weather but you go to the nxt level to bring vids to your followers , I'll keep looking for some of your older vids to injoy ,always a good watch and informative keep em coming 😀
Thank you John, I appreciate it. Ha yes, the weather was a little challenging when filming this one but thankfully it dried up just after high water and it became a little easier. A favourite mark of mine and I'm looking forward to going back. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Hello Gareth, another great video, well done, its great that you take the time and put in the effort to show how fishing is in reality, many times I am sure we have all been freezing cold or soaking wet but still enjoyed the day. Catching in that weather was a good result and I was pleased to see the reward for your efforts. Keep up the good work, look forward to the next one.
Thank you Rob, appreciated as always. Yeah that was a tricky session as the wind and rain just got worse but I'm glad I stuck it out as the Congers kept me busy ha! Can often rely on them when nothing else is feeding. I like it down there and over the years I've had some good fish, anything can turn up. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching! 👍👍🐟
Cheers Dylan. Man that weather was shocking, when I arrived I almost went back home but I thought I'd brave it and I'm glad it did, an enjoyable session and just about managed to scrape a video together. Ha very true, more like Windy City that day, those winds just got stronger and it hammered down towards the end of the session. Tight lines for your next session, have a good weekend bud 👍👍🙏
Gareth another great video I watch loads of fishing videos on UA-cam and your attention to detail quality of filming camera placement is great I would just like to ask you to take some of the pressure off yourself we know how difficult it can be to get a fish by order, your doing great I really look forward to your videos and even when you struggle that's OK by me! we've all been there. I look forward to your next blockbuster hopefully a little more often I wish you all the very best keep going forward your doing great trust me! cheers m
Hi Mark, hope all is good with you. Thank you for the kind words and I'm pleased to hear that you enjoy the videos. I must admit that I miss a lot of fish as I'm usually filming the scenery etc whilst the rod tip is bouncing away! I sometimes feel a little paranoid when no fish to show as when you have a fishing channel, you kinda feel obliged to catch! But as you say, that's fishing and we all have those days. The marks I fish are not as productive as they once were but I still go back to them as they're special to me, if you know what I mean. Cheers for the continued support, it is appreciated, hopefully plenty more to come! 👍👍🐟
You're welcome Wayne, nice to hear from you again. Yeah lots of good memories, Dad loved this spot and in fairness to him, he caught some good fish. Cheers as always, have a great weekend! 👍👍🐟
👌As always, fantastic video Gareth. Can't beat been out in the fresh air by the water, in your case extreme weather, never the less you enjoyed it and I did watching it. Tight Lines Buddy.
Thank you mate, appreciated as always. Yes I agree with you there, getting that fresh air is what it's all about! The weather was terrible but I enjoyed every minute of it. Hope all is good with you and tight lines for your next session! Have a great weekend 👍👍🐟
Thank you Nigel, much appreciated. Haha, well I'm happy to brave the weather if it means you have a video to watch. Although I must admit, this was not an easy one to film, the camera almost blew away! Cheers for watching and have a good weekend! 👍👍🐟
Thank you Ian, appreciated as always. Year one of my favourite marks and the memories always come flooding back when I go there. The weather made it a little tricky but I still enjoyed it. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Thank you Ray, I appreciate that. Wasn't sure if I could film as the weather was so bad but somehow I did ha! Nice to see a few Congers. Cheers for watching, have a great weekend 👍👍
Thank you mate, much appreciated. Ha yes, they certainly do, they often come to the rescue when nothing else is feeding! Cheers for watching, hopefully more to come soon! 👍👍🐟
Well to be honest Andrew, I almost got back in the car when I arrived ha! That weather wasn't forecast but I thought I'd stick it out and thankfully I managed to scrape a video together. Cheers as always, have a good weekend! 👍👍
Cheers Leighton, appreciated as always. Yeah definitely, that's what it's all about. Love it down there, will do a night tide at some point. How did you get on down Chesil??
@@riversidewithme had a few codling also my first ever place but on the last day got out fished by the wife I banked she had a Whiting pouting a small bass and mackerel 😄😄
Great result for a bit of a wild session there Gareth. Fantastic memories of your Dad too. Your attitude and enthusiasm to your fishing is infectious. Always enjoy your posts
Thank you Wayne, appreciated as always. Yeah so many great memories of being down there with Dad, especially on cold winter nights when the railway sleepers were covered in frost. This session certainly was wild, the wind just kept getting worse but thankfully I managed to scrape a video together and the Congers kept me busy ha! Hope all is good with you. Cheers 👍👍🐟
@@riversidewithme Alls well thanks Gareth, nice to see the channel is doing well. Had a weekend in Aberystwyth recently and had a little LRF session, great fun I must admit. Had more luck with the weather too, I probably would have given up in a blow like you put up with😂😂
@@waynehiggs7335 Well done on the LRF session, it's nice to have a change sometimes and do a bit of clear water fishing with the lighter tackle. Good stuff! 👍
Glad to see you had a good day on the eel's dispite the weather nice video as always good on you nice to see the landscape as well as fishing excellent
Thank you Rolf, appreciated as always. Yes it was a challenging session with that wind but I still enjoyed it, nice to see a few Congers, they kept the rods busy. Hopefully better weather in the next one ha! Hope all is good with you! Cheers 👍👍🐟
Got to hand it to you Gareth, what you are willing to do to make a video for us to watch. Fair play mate, and no blank. appreciate your efforts, stay safe 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks mate, nice to hear from you again. When I arrived at the venue I wasn't sure if it would be possible to make a video as the conditions were so bad but somehow I managed to scrape one together ha! Hope all is good with you, have a good weekend. Cheers 👍👍
Thanks Stu, it was certainly a challenging session, I was a little fatigued when I got in ha! Congers produced a bit of action though and so not too bad in the end. You out this weekend??
another great watch gareth as alwayes nice few congers mate well deserved fishing in that weather mate hope to catch you on the shore and have a session mate nice to see you sitting on your dads rock great memories for you mate look forward to the next vidio keep them coming gareth mate and you alwayes give great advice on the marks for people that havent fished the venue before
Thank you Andrew, appreciated as always mate, hope all is good with you. Yeah that weather was nasty, it wasn't forecast which is why I went to this mark ha! That's it, so many great memories of being there, the old days were great, the frost on the railway sleepers on a cold winters night, that always sticks in my mind. Hopefully plenty more videos to come but until the next one, cheers for watching and have a good weekend. Tight lines! 👍👍🐟
@@riversidewithme will you be doing a vidio every week mate i can share it then to say what days and time they on to help your channel grow even more gareth mate
@@andrewjones956 That's the plan Andrew, work and weather permitting. The fishing videos will be uploaded every Friday evening, although initially there may be the odd gap until I get in front of myself, if you know what I mean. I appreciate the support, mentioning the videos would be great 👍
Thank you Neil, appreciated as always. I almost got back in the car as the weather was so bad but I'm glad I carried on as it was an enjoyable session. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend! 👍👍🐟
@@riversidewithme thanks for the reply Gareth, me and my fishing buddy Mike Davies have had blank after blank for months,not doing anything wrong just unlucky I guess, nice to see you catching some fish, look forward to your next video. Cheers Neil.
@@neiljones5075 I think a lot of us have been finding the fishing a bit difficult of late but hopefully things will start to pick up now that the Autumn is here! I think I had 4 or 5 blanks on the bounce back in the Summer ha! Cheers 👍
Thanks mate, nice to hear from you again. That's it, so many good memories of being down there with Dad on cold winter nights. Hopefully plenty more videos to come! Cheers 👍👍🐟
Another great video gareth really enjoy them,looking forward to the next one,keep up the good work mate and 3 congers in those conditions is fantastic 👍
Thank you Lyndon, appreciated as always. A tricky session with that wind but thankfully a few Congers turned up ha! Turned out to be an enjoyable session. Glad to hear that that you're enjoying the videos, hopefully plenty more to come! Cheers for watching! 👍👍
Thank you Richard, much appreciated. Yeah the conditions were nasty, those strong winds weren't forecast which was frustrating but I managed to winkle a few Congers out which was enjoyable, I quite like Congers ha! Cheers mate, have a good weekend 👍👍🐟
Thank you Peter, much appreciated. A tricky bit of weather but still enjoyable. Hope you catch a few when you go back down there! Cheers for watching! 👍👍
Great as always gareth good advice aswell.You have to be aware sea fishing as you well know.Nice touch about your late father to.I’ve been fishing a lot recently with the big tides down burry Holmes Gower plenty of bass about.Tight lines Gareth 🎣keep the videos coming there great all the best Michael
Thank you Michael, appreciated as always. Yeah Dad loved that mark and in fairness he had some lovely fish over the years. Well done on the Bass, sounds like you've had a good bit of action of late. I'll hopefully be back down the Gower before Autumn comes to end. I don't think I've ever fished the Burry Holmes area but will have to check it out. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching! 👍👍🐟
Great video Mate! As a newbie to sea fishing, it would be great to see a vid on what rigs you use and how to set them up etc. Also bait types and presentation. Keep up the good work!
Hi Gareth, thanks for the message, glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah sure, I've been thinking of doing a rig clinic video whereby I can show how to make certain rigs and bait up etc. Can't always see it on the screen properly when I'm outdoors filming which is why a dedicated video would be better. Cheers for watching, hopefully more to come soon! Cheers 👍👍🐟
Thank you Dorian, much appreciated. That wind wasn't even forecast and so it was a little frustrating ha! Just about managed to film the session and thankfully a few Congers turned up, was enjoyable. Hopefully more to come soon, cheers for watching 👍👍🐟
Thank you Darren, appreciated as always. A nasty bit of weather but I still enjoyed it, nice to see a few Congers. I'm good thanks mate, hope you are too! Cheers 👍👍
Sorry for the late comment Brother 👍 Looks like you had an Eely great session there buddy, you stuck it out for us thanks for that, Love fishing the white light, but you seem to have all the luck 🙂 next time Im there i will carve your Dads name in that Rock 😉 stay safe love to the family, see you on the rocks soon our friend ✌✌
No worries Matt, hope all is good with you. Yeah that weather was shocking but annoyingly it wasn't forecast. The Congers kept me busy though and it was an enjoyable session. Me too, it's one of my favourite marks, I remember on your last video down there that you were watching the Sewin jump, must have been a nice sight. Ah yes, that would be a good idea to carve his name in that rock, he loved it down there! Love to all, enjoy the bank holiday and tight lines for your next session! 👍👍✌️
Thank you Mike. The weather was shocking but I still enjoyed it, the Congers were keeping me busy ha! All the best for Monday, hope you manage to get one...I'm sure you will! Cheers 👍👍🐟
Thanks mate. The weather was challenging but it was nice to see a few Congers. I see, never easy is it but I find talking about Dad helps me, comforting you know 👍👍
Thank you Sammy, appreciated as always. Yeah those winds were nasty, the forecast was for light winds that day but there we are ha! The Congers didn't seem to mind though and they kept me busy, good fun. Cheers for watching! 👍👍🐟
Hi Gareth a couple of us fished Jackson’s bay Friday evening and we soon found out that we was only catching on rag worm nothing else was working hopefully getting back there this Friday keep up the videos mate always enjoy watching them 👍🎣
Hi Glynn, nice to hear from you again. Yeah it does to seem to be the case that the Ragworm is producing the fish at the moment. Few different species should start to move in soon now that Autumn is here. Good luck for Friday, hope you manage to get a few! I love it down there, one of my favourite marks, lots of good memories! Cheers for watching, hopefully more to come soon! 👍👍🐟
Only fished there once, great mark, parking a problem unless you park in main car park Whitmore and walk round. Makes night fishing a problem. Take care…. All the best……!!
Yes I agree mate, great mark but the parking has been destroyed. I used to park along Redbrink Crescent but this is now residential only and so I park in the main car park and walk around. One of the local residents did say I could park on Clive Road, I might consider this next time. Cheers as always! 👍👍
@@riversidewithme thanks for reply Gareth. I’ve got myself a ‘Vale of Glamorgan coastal parking permit’ which includes Barry island and more importantly Ogmore (my piece of ‘headspace’)…..keep ‘em vids coming mate. Thanks
Thank you Mark, nice to hear from you again. Glad to hear that you enjoy the videos, hopefully plenty more to come soon. This was a tricky session with that wind but still very enjoyable. Cheers for watching 👍👍🐟
Thank you Adam, much appreciated. Well done on the Brixham fishing, sounds like you caught a few! I love it down there, one of my favourite places, I'll hopefully be down there before the end of the year. Cheers mate 👍👍🐟
Hi gareth you ok fella, enjoyed the watch again nice one. Well done on your straps . Nice touch about the stone were your pa landed his cod. I'm the same rembering things like that. Its has been poor up here last few sessions. We are all waiting for the codling and whiting which should start arriving up the humber in next couple of weeks. Good luck ON your next session and all the best from GRIMSBY.
Hi Carl, hope you're well mate. Yeah the weather made the session a little tricky but thankfully a few Congers turned up ha! Thank you, Dad loved it down there, was one of his favourite marks and like you, I remember these things. Hopefully things will pick up where you are soon, those Whiting and Cod can't be too far away now. Been the same down here, been quiet for weeks but Autumn is now here and things should start to move. Cheers as always, take it easy! 👍👍🐟
Thank you Richard, nice to hear from you again. Yes this was a tricky session, not quite sure how I filmed it ha! Thankfully a few Congers turned up and it was an enjoyable session. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend! 👍👍
Another cracking video as usual gareth mate..We'll Done on braving the elements and landing the 3 conger eels... I look forward to watching your next video keep up the good work mate....and it's always nice to look back on good memories how big was your fathers cod mate🐟🐡
Hiya Nathan, hope all is good with you mate. Yeah I must admit, that was a tough one to film as I couldn't keep the tripod still, the wind kept getting stronger ha! Nice to see a few Congers though, they were keeping the rod tips busy, I missed a few to be honest. That's it, I enjoy reminiscing about Dad, I find it comforting. That Cod he had was just over 9lbs, used to get quite a few off there back in the day but I've not caught one there now for many years, may be a few will turn up this winter. Cheers as always, have a great weekend 👍🐟👍
Hi mate a 9lb cod these days is very rare lol.. great memories cost nothing...keep up the great work gareth your doing an amazing job..have a lovely weekend too mate 👍 👍
Thank you Chad, appreciated as always. The weather was nasty and I'm not quite sure how I managed to film this one ha! Nice to see a few Congers, they kept me busy. Have a good weekend, cheers 👍👍🐟
Thank you Deri, I appreciate that and I'm pleased you're enjoying the videos. Yeah that's it, I just show it for what it is really and try to incorporate some real life stuff. Hopefully more to come soon. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
Thank you Nigel, nice to hear from you again, hope all is well. Yeah the conditions were tricky from the off, the wind got worse but I still enjoyed the session, nice to see a few Congers. Have a good weekend, tight lines! 👍👍🐟
Great video Gareth. Fishing provides you those moments of solitude to reminisce and cherish the memories you have of your father, sounds like he was a wonderful guy. For me, fishing allows the reset of mind, body and soul. Think you capture that so well, keep doing what you do buddy-just wonderful to watch!
Thank you Mark, nice to hear from you again. Yeah Dad was a good bloke in fairness, down to earth and everyone liked him. I like to reminisce as I find it comforting, good to keep those memories alive. I think you summed it up perfectly there, fishing certainly does reset the mind, body and soul...it's a very potent drug. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching and have a good weekend! 👍👍🐟
Gareth when are the BBC going to give you your own series your as good as iolo I’m totally hooked on your channel can’t wait for the next one your a natural presenter and a top fella thanks for all your time and efforts Steve jones👌
@@stevenjones9670 Haha, thank you Steven. I've still got a lot to learn yet when it comes to filming/presenting but hopefully I can improve with each video, hopefully plenty more to come during the coming weeks and months. Cheers for the continued support, much appreciated, have a good bank holiday mate! 👍👍
Great watch as always bud, thank you. Had a week down earlier in the year, fished a few different beaches around the Tenby area, lovely area. Booked for a week next July at Langland Bay, Rods will be with me 😊
You're welcome Rob, glad you enjoyed it. The weather made the session a little tricky but it was still enjoyable, nice to see a few Congers. I like Tenby, will hopefully be fishing the North and South beaches during the coming months. I'm sure you'll get a few fish at Langland Bay next July, good area and a lovely part of the world. Cheers for watching! 👍👍🐟
Another great video Gareth in challenging conditions. Good mark that, can be some big fish caught on it’s day, your dads cod a prime example. Priceless memories. I had a smoothound off there 2 months ago. Well done on picking up other idiots rubbish as well. Enjoy your weekend mate, see you on the next adventure 👍
Thanks for becoming a channel member Matt, very much appreciated!! Yes it can certainly produce some good fish on its day and even on a blank, usually get a few bites there. Well done on the Smoothound, sounds like you've done well on those this year. Filthy it was, could have filled 2 bin liners with rubbish but only had a spare large carrier bag on me, absolutely no need for it. The weather was evil but I still enjoyed the session, the Congers were keeping the rod tips busy ha! Cheers mate, enjoy the bank holiday weekend! 👍👍🐟
Well done Gareth. Nice to see some eels coming in. I'm out in the morning trying my luck at Witches. Nice to see the start of Autumn and the fishing picking up. Good luck mate. 👍🏻
Thank you Matt. A bit tricky with that wind but thankfully a few Congers turned up, they kept me busy ha! I like it down there, one of my favourite marks. Yeah that's it, let's hope the Autumn produces some nice fish. All the best for Witches tomorrow mate, I reckon you'll get a few! Cheers as always! 👍👍🐟
Far too wet n windy for me, you’re a brave fisherman. I did wonder what you were going to say though when you said, “ the conditions are SH-ocking”! Good stuff fella. Some good memories there for you. 👍
Hiya Carl, hope all is good with you. Ha yeah, I almost did say something else, believe you me...that weather wasn't forecast which was slightly annoying but thankfully I managed to make a video, just! Yeah lots of good memories, I miss those days. Cheers mate, have a good weekend 👍👍🐟
Another great video as always mate. Nice to see you in barry at last, youve been telling me there’s one coming soon lol. Sorry to have to write this in the comments to your video but I remember when i 1st discovered your channel, i can’t remember exactly what video it was but I remember you talking about memories fishing with your dad and remember seeing the pain in your eyes when you were talking. I felt really sad for you. Unfortunately last Thursday I suddenly lost my dad, he passed away in work in the butchers in barry town centre and it made me think of you talkjng about your dad because now i feel exactly the same and cant get my head around it. I hope your doung well mate and again sorry for putting this in my comments but it was you talking about your dad and obviously the fishing that made me fall in love with the channel in the 1st place. Take care Gareth and i look forward to the next video 👍🏻 RIP DAD ❤
So sorry for your loss Scott, what a shock this must have been for you and your family, very sad news. No amount of words will make you feel better at the moment but what I can say is that it will get easier, time really is a great healer. As you can probably tell from my videos, I enjoy reminiscing about Dad as I find this comforting. The coming weeks will be hard but rest assured that each day will get easier and you will find a way of accepting the fact that your Dad is no longer with us, I promise. I truly believe there's an afterlife and no doubt you'll see him again. Even now, four years on, I still have the occasional wobble when I'm missing Dad and this is to be expected, perfectly normal. Keep talking, surround yourself with good people and most importantly, take your time. I made the mistake of going back to work too soon, thinking I was fine and then it hit me hard, it was a delayed reaction. Look after yourself and just drop me a message at anytime should you feel the need to. Look after yourself mate 👍👍❤️
@@riversidewithme thank you Gareth, ye its surreal at the minute so i know its going to hit me hard soon. Probably at the funeral mostly. Keep up the good videos mate! We’ve got a big family so we’re supporting each other as much as we can. ❤️
Hiya James, hope you're well mate. When I arrived I wasn't sure if I'd be able to film as the wind was so strong but I just about managed it ha! I was pleased to see a few Congers, I quite like them. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍🐟
Brilliant video Gareth, its nice to see that despite the conditions you’ve had a good day out and caught some fish too. Have you ever had much else off the beach there? My friend that I fish with isn’t keen on climbing rocks to get to marks and it would be nice to try the beach one day. Keep doing what you’re doing mate always enjoy tuning in on your trips out.
Thank you Finley, appreciated as always mate. I'm not quite sure how I managed to film this session as that wind just got stronger and stronger ha! I used to fish off the beach all of the time and had some lovely fish but the only problem with it these days is that it gets busy (lots of new houses have been built there) and so if you are going to fish off it, opt for early morning or night when it's quieter. Or what you could do is to fish off the flatter rocks (opposite side of Jackson's Bay) and you'd be casting onto the beach. Easier than the boulders but wear boots with a good grip as can sometimes be a little bit slippery. Hope that helps, have a good weekend! 👍👍🐟
yeah that’s a very good point but I’ll definitely try the other side of the bay at some point, it’s been a mark I’ve wanted to try for a little while now so I’ll definitely try it thanks for the advice and tight lines for the next session
Nice work there, crazy that those conger were taking rag! Something that would be really useful to know when you talk about your rigs would be what size weights you are using for the Venue and tides Cracking video again.🙂
Thanks mate, appreciated as always. Yeah it was strange, when I was a kid I would always get the Congers on fish baits but they've developed a liking for Ragworm these days ha! Apologies, I forgot to mention the weights in this one. I was using 7oz grippers and they held bottom fine, no issues. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍🐟👍
Gravest effort as always Gareth, thank god someone is going to do Nells, I have had some big fish off of their over the years, you don’t see it fished that much anymore
Thank you Stu, nice to hear from you again. Yeah the weather was challenging and got worse as the session went on but I just about managed to scrape a video together ha! As you say, Nell's doesn't seem to be fished much anymore but I think it's a great mark and I remember you telling me previously about the good fish you've had there. I'll probably do the left hand side first, on the rough with rotten bottoms, casting towards Jackson's Bay... hopefully a couple of fish will turn up! Cheers as always, appreciated! 👍👍🐟
Thanks mate, much appreciated. I'm not quite sure how I managed to make the video to be honest ha. Yes I agree, a live-bait in close could temp something nice, possibly a Bass. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
You are hard core Gareth being out in those conditions. Excellent advice re taking care on the rocks. I fell down a breakwater similar to the one you were on and broke a couple of ribs, a thumb and badly tore ligaments in one knee. Been very reluctant to fish off the rocks since. Great video once again.
Thank you David. According to the weather forecast, the winds were meant to be light and no rain...I think I'll listen to the shepherds from now on, they are more accurate with their forecasts ha! Ooooh sounds nasty that, I can see why you're a bit hesitant now when it comes to the rock marks, that must have knocked your confidence. I was Trout fishing once on my local River and the bank beneath me collapsed...only a broken wrist but could have been worse. The things we do in order to pursue our passion! The weekend is here, I hope you have a good one. Cheers as always! 👍👍🐟
That was a gusty one Gareth ... There’s nothing weird about remembering where and when special memories were made, it’s nice to be able to go back and relive some ... take care mate and thanks 🙏
@@stephenwilkinson4214 It certainly was Stephen but it wasn't actually forecast ha! I enjoyed it though, nice to see a few Congers. Yes definitely, always good to reminisce and keep those memories alive. Hope all is good with, enjoy the weekend! Cheers 👍👍
Yes indeed ha! They seem to be everywhere at the moment in the channel but I suppose it's better than blanking! Hopefully a couple of different species will move in soon. Cheers as always mate 👍👍
Brilliant video again mate.. do you always fish alone? Some enjoy it better that way mind. Seen some big blonde rays come off the white light and some big eels
Cheers Keiron, appreciated as always. If I'm filming then I tend to be on my own but if I'm having a pleasure session then I sometimes go with one of my fishing friends, always it's hard to drag them out these days ha! Yeah it can produce some good fish in its day, had some lovely fish over the years. Thanks for watching! 👍👍
Thanks mate, much appreciated. You could used to park on Redbrink Crescent which is directly above Jackson's Bay but that's been limited to two hours now. So I now park in Nell's Point carpark and walk around, takes around 15 minutes or so. Cheers 👍👍
hi gareth alough i dont sea fish only trout and salmon i always enjoyyour videos hope yoy dont mind my asking what make is your fishing hoodie many thanks
Thank you John, pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos. I haven't done much Trout fishing this year but will try and do a bit before the season ends later this month. The hoodie is just one that I bought off eBay, here is the link www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403225842647?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=O7-oWL6SQj-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=qz_asHiIRFK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Cheers for watching! 👍👍🐟
Hi Chris, nice to hear from you again. Thank you, the weather made it a little tricky but I still enjoyed it. Yes it is a shame and it saddens me. The marks I fish are nowhere near as productive as they once were, I caught more fish when I was a kid than what I do now. Hopefully common sense will eventually prevail and commercial overfishing will end. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
I don't know if it was just the wind and weather, but it looks a bit of a desolate place to fish. I think the family memories kept you warm! Another good vid, very atmospheric. Just out of curiosity and if you know, what were the old railway/tramway lines for on top of the breakwater?
Hi Edward, nice to hear from you again. The weather made the session a little tricky but I somehow managed to film it, although I almost got back in the car when I arrived ha! Certainly was a bleak day and everything looked a bit grey...it's a little more picturesque when the sun is out. The old railway line was used for the movement of coal back in the day. When I was a kid, there used to be a mobile shed on the track which sold refreshments, snacks etc. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend! 👍👍
Great video as usual, you mentioned the beach from years ago is it still worth fishing the beach anymore as I not as agile as I use to be? Now that you are making more videos are you sticking to rock and beach marks or possibly including some local boat fishing in the future? Regards Rod
Thank you Rod, much appreciated. I used to fish off the beach all of the time but nowadays it's busier (lots of new houses have been built nearby) and so if you are going to fish it, opt for early morning or the evening time when it's quieter. You can also fish on the other side of Jackson's Bay off the flatter rocks. This area is easier than the boulders where I was, although good grip on boots is important as can be a bit slippery sometimes. I won't be doing any boat fishing, just shore fishing at different venues. Cheers for watching! 👍👍
I bet you have some great memories of when you fished it with your Dad and those memories will last a lifetime. Great spot, this one is special to me 🙂
Hi hello, Gareth I'm not quite sure if I'm right as to exactly where you are fishing but I'm sure that it is the same place, basically I noticed you mentioned about safety regarding the rock's and the railings getting onto the breakwater. I was made aware by a youtuber that you have to get a code for a door onto the mark from the only person around the tackle shop opposite? Because I definitely would like to at some point fish there, have I got the right place or not? Cheers
Hi Terry, I think you must be thinking of a different mark. There is no door or code required and no tackle shop nearby. So the breakwater is owned by the Association of British Ports and the gates at the entrance to the breakwater are generally locked and therefore, you need to walk around the railings...they have no problem with people fishing there as I contacted them years ago. So this is next to Jackson's Bay, may be take a look on Google maps and it will become clear then. You can park along Redbrink Crescent on the right-hand side of the road within the white lined area but you only get two hours. Better off parking in Nell's point carpark and then walking around, will take around 15 minutes (just check current open/close times for the carpark. Hope that helps. Cheers 👍👍
@@riversidewithme Hi Gareth thanks for the response and thanks for the info it definitely looks like a great place to fish 👍. I think the place I might be thinking of is a disused pier in South Wales possibly Newport 🤔. Anyway cheers mate thanks for the info and have a good weekend.
Hi Neil, parking is an issue at this mark now as the council have recently made the surrounding roads residents parking only. You can park on the right-hand side of Redbrink Crescent within the white dotted line for free but only for 2 hours. I now park in Nell's Point Carpark and walk to the mark, takes around 15 minutes or so via the footpath. The car park opens at 8am and closes at 11pm.
It's like most places around here mate, not what it was in terms of the Cod run but can still produce on its day. Just a case of being in the right place at the right time. Cheers 👍👍
Hi John. Dad passed away in 2018, cancer caught up with him unfortunately. He loved this mark and in fairness to him, he had some nice fish and I like to reminisce, nice to keep those memories alive. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Hi Gareth nice to see you back how about a session at ogmore deeps with me love to wet a line with you drop me a message on Facebook and we will arrange one it's a great venue
Hi David, nice to hear from you again. Ah yes Ogmore Deeps, great mark isn't it, I've fished it many times over the years. Yes, I'm sure that can be arranged, you can show me how to do it! I used to fish the mouth of the River Ogmore quite a bit too and I must I must give that another bash! Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍🐟
Its nice to watch someone who’s not full of himself. Well done Taff
Thank you Edwin, much appreciated. Yeah I'm just an average angler who enjoys spending a few hours next to the water. Cheers for watching 👍
Bit late finding this vid Gareth, good session, I don't mind the rough weather but you go to the nxt level to bring vids to your followers , I'll keep looking for some of your older vids to injoy ,always a good watch and informative keep em coming 😀
Thank you John, I appreciate it. Ha yes, the weather was a little challenging when filming this one but thankfully it dried up just after high water and it became a little easier. A favourite mark of mine and I'm looking forward to going back. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Hello Gareth, another great video, well done, its great that you take the time and put in the effort to show how fishing is in reality, many times I am sure we have all been freezing cold or soaking wet but still enjoyed the day. Catching in that weather was a good result and I was pleased to see the reward for your efforts. Keep up the good work, look forward to the next one.
Thank you Rob, appreciated as always. Yeah that was a tricky session as the wind and rain just got worse but I'm glad I stuck it out as the Congers kept me busy ha! Can often rely on them when nothing else is feeding. I like it down there and over the years I've had some good fish, anything can turn up. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching! 👍👍🐟
Awesome video mate, managed a few fish. Weather looked pretty bad to be fair, not so much Barrybados on that session😂. Take care buddy👍👍🎣
Cheers Dylan. Man that weather was shocking, when I arrived I almost went back home but I thought I'd brave it and I'm glad it did, an enjoyable session and just about managed to scrape a video together. Ha very true, more like Windy City that day, those winds just got stronger and it hammered down towards the end of the session. Tight lines for your next session, have a good weekend bud 👍👍🙏
Gareth another great video I watch loads of fishing videos on UA-cam and your attention to detail quality of filming camera placement is great I would just like to ask you to take some of the pressure off yourself we know how difficult it can be to get a fish by order, your doing great I really look forward to your videos and even when you struggle that's OK by me! we've all been there. I look forward to your next blockbuster hopefully a little more often I wish you all the very best keep going forward your doing great trust me! cheers m
Hi Mark, hope all is good with you. Thank you for the kind words and I'm pleased to hear that you enjoy the videos. I must admit that I miss a lot of fish as I'm usually filming the scenery etc whilst the rod tip is bouncing away! I sometimes feel a little paranoid when no fish to show as when you have a fishing channel, you kinda feel obliged to catch! But as you say, that's fishing and we all have those days. The marks I fish are not as productive as they once were but I still go back to them as they're special to me, if you know what I mean. Cheers for the continued support, it is appreciated, hopefully plenty more to come! 👍👍🐟
Good fishing mate you certainly know what your doing that's for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Derek, much appreciated. As for me knowing what I'm doing, I'm not so sure about that ha! Cheers for watching 👍👍
Thans for another great watch. So nice about your dad
You're welcome Wayne, nice to hear from you again. Yeah lots of good memories, Dad loved this spot and in fairness to him, he caught some good fish. Cheers as always, have a great weekend! 👍👍🐟
👌As always, fantastic video Gareth. Can't beat been out in the fresh air by the water, in your case extreme weather, never the less you enjoyed it and I did watching it. Tight Lines Buddy.
Thank you mate, appreciated as always. Yes I agree with you there, getting that fresh air is what it's all about! The weather was terrible but I enjoyed every minute of it. Hope all is good with you and tight lines for your next session! Have a great weekend 👍👍🐟

Thank you Stephen. Yeah I love this mark, so many great memories from the old days. Cheers as always, have a good weekend! 👍👍🐟
Another Great video Gareth. You go out in the rotten weather to fish so we don't have to 😁. A great trio of conger eels as well.
Thank you Nigel, much appreciated. Haha, well I'm happy to brave the weather if it means you have a video to watch. Although I must admit, this was not an easy one to film, the camera almost blew away! Cheers for watching and have a good weekend! 👍👍🐟
Another great video mate, good memories to hold on too , keep them coming tight lines 🎣👍
Thank you Ian, appreciated as always. Year one of my favourite marks and the memories always come flooding back when I go there. The weather made it a little tricky but I still enjoyed it. Cheers for watching 👍👍

Well to be honest Andrew, I almost got back in the car when I arrived ha! That weather wasn't forecast but I thought I'd stick it out and thankfully I managed to scrape a video together. Cheers as always, have a good weekend! 👍👍
Cracking Gareth Al those memories and of course making new ones 👍 👏
Cheers Leighton, appreciated as always. Yeah definitely, that's what it's all about. Love it down there, will do a night tide at some point. How did you get on down Chesil??
@@riversidewithme had a few codling also my first ever place but on the last day got out fished by the wife I banked she had a Whiting pouting a small bass and mackerel 😄😄
@@leightongroves1509 Sounds good, can't fault it! Always the way isn't it, the wives usually out-fish us 🤣. Well done 👍
Great result for a bit of a wild session there Gareth. Fantastic memories of your Dad too. Your attitude and enthusiasm to your fishing is infectious. Always enjoy your posts
Thank you Wayne, appreciated as always. Yeah so many great memories of being down there with Dad, especially on cold winter nights when the railway sleepers were covered in frost. This session certainly was wild, the wind just kept getting worse but thankfully I managed to scrape a video together and the Congers kept me busy ha! Hope all is good with you. Cheers 👍👍🐟
@@riversidewithme Alls well thanks Gareth, nice to see the channel is doing well. Had a weekend in Aberystwyth recently and had a little LRF session, great fun I must admit. Had more luck with the weather too, I probably would have given up in a blow like you put up with😂😂
@@waynehiggs7335 Well done on the LRF session, it's nice to have a change sometimes and do a bit of clear water fishing with the lighter tackle. Good stuff! 👍
Glad to see you had a good day on the eel's dispite the weather nice video as always good on you nice to see the landscape as well as fishing excellent
Thank you Rolf, appreciated as always. Yes it was a challenging session with that wind but I still enjoyed it, nice to see a few Congers, they kept the rods busy. Hopefully better weather in the next one ha! Hope all is good with you! Cheers 👍👍🐟
Got to hand it to you Gareth, what you are willing to do to make a video for us to watch. Fair play mate, and no blank. appreciate your efforts, stay safe 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks mate, nice to hear from you again. When I arrived at the venue I wasn't sure if it would be possible to make a video as the conditions were so bad but somehow I managed to scrape one together ha! Hope all is good with you, have a good weekend. Cheers 👍👍
Well done in that strong wind and a few fish for your effort 👍
Thanks Stu, it was certainly a challenging session, I was a little fatigued when I got in ha! Congers produced a bit of action though and so not too bad in the end. You out this weekend??
@@riversidewithme pendine early Tuesday morning don’t know about the weekend yet

Thank you Andrew, appreciated as always mate, hope all is good with you. Yeah that weather was nasty, it wasn't forecast which is why I went to this mark ha! That's it, so many great memories of being there, the old days were great, the frost on the railway sleepers on a cold winters night, that always sticks in my mind. Hopefully plenty more videos to come but until the next one, cheers for watching and have a good weekend. Tight lines! 👍👍🐟
@@riversidewithme will you be doing a vidio every week mate i can share it then to say what days and time they on to help your channel grow even more gareth mate
@@andrewjones956 That's the plan Andrew, work and weather permitting. The fishing videos will be uploaded every Friday evening, although initially there may be the odd gap until I get in front of myself, if you know what I mean. I appreciate the support, mentioning the videos would be great 👍
Well done Gareth, nasty bit of weather you put up with there. At least it was a productive days fishing.
Thanks Alan. Yeah the wind was shocking during that session, had a job to stand up but thankfully a few Congers turned up! Cheers for watching! 👍👍
Brilliant video Gareth. Well done on the congers mate. 😃👍💥

Cheers Neil.
@@neiljones5075 I think a lot of us have been finding the fishing a bit difficult of late but hopefully things will start to pick up now that the Autumn is here! I think I had 4 or 5 blanks on the bounce back in the Summer ha! Cheers 👍

Thank you Michael, appreciated as always. Yeah Dad loved that mark and in fairness he had some lovely fish over the years. Well done on the Bass, sounds like you've had a good bit of action of late. I'll hopefully be back down the Gower before Autumn comes to end. I don't think I've ever fished the Burry Holmes area but will have to check it out. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching! 👍👍🐟
Great video Mate! As a newbie to sea fishing, it would be great to see a vid on what rigs you use and how to set them up etc. Also bait types and presentation. Keep up the good work!
Hi Gareth, thanks for the message, glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah sure, I've been thinking of doing a rig clinic video whereby I can show how to make certain rigs and bait up etc. Can't always see it on the screen properly when I'm outdoors filming which is why a dedicated video would be better. Cheers for watching, hopefully more to come soon! Cheers 👍👍🐟
Da Iawn Gareth, chwarae teg staying out in those conditions, far to. Windy for me, another great vid though. 👍🎣🎣
Thank you Dorian, much appreciated. That wind wasn't even forecast and so it was a little frustrating ha! Just about managed to film the session and thankfully a few Congers turned up, was enjoyable. Hopefully more to come soon, cheers for watching 👍👍🐟
Keep it up Gareth. These are really good videos.
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. I'll keep plugging away for now and hopefully more to come. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Great! Thank you!
You're welcome Johnny. Hopefully plenty more to come. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍

Sorry for the late comment Brother 👍 Looks like you had an Eely great session there buddy, you stuck it out for us thanks for that, Love fishing the white light, but you seem to have all the luck 🙂 next time Im there i will carve your Dads name in that Rock 😉 stay safe love to the family, see you on the rocks soon our friend ✌✌
No worries Matt, hope all is good with you. Yeah that weather was shocking but annoyingly it wasn't forecast. The Congers kept me busy though and it was an enjoyable session. Me too, it's one of my favourite marks, I remember on your last video down there that you were watching the Sewin jump, must have been a nice sight. Ah yes, that would be a good idea to carve his name in that rock, he loved it down there! Love to all, enjoy the bank holiday and tight lines for your next session! 👍👍✌️
@@riversidewithme 👍✌
I’ve only just managed to subscribe as I am a dinosaur with this have really enjoyed your videos so far may them continue
Thank you for subscribing, I appreciate it. Hopefully more videos to come with a bit of luck. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Excellent video Gareth some nice congas with a bit of luck will catch my first fish on Monday
Thank you Mike. The weather was shocking but I still enjoyed it, the Congers were keeping me busy ha! All the best for Monday, hope you manage to get one...I'm sure you will! Cheers 👍👍🐟
great stuff for this time of year .. i have the same memory issues
Thanks mate. The weather was challenging but it was nice to see a few Congers. I see, never easy is it but I find talking about Dad helps me, comforting you know 👍👍
Congers and weed fish your dad is looking over you mate good lad✌️
Thanks Carl, the Congers usually save the day ha! Yes I'd like to think he is, fishing isn't the same without him. Cheers for watching 👍
Great session in such bad conditions well done great video as always 👌
Thank you Sammy, appreciated as always. Yeah those winds were nasty, the forecast was for light winds that day but there we are ha! The Congers didn't seem to mind though and they kept me busy, good fun. Cheers for watching! 👍👍🐟
Hi Gareth a couple of us fished Jackson’s bay Friday evening and we soon found out that we was only catching on rag worm nothing else was working hopefully getting back there this Friday keep up the videos mate always enjoy watching them 👍🎣
Hi Glynn, nice to hear from you again. Yeah it does to seem to be the case that the Ragworm is producing the fish at the moment. Few different species should start to move in soon now that Autumn is here. Good luck for Friday, hope you manage to get a few! I love it down there, one of my favourite marks, lots of good memories! Cheers for watching, hopefully more to come soon! 👍👍🐟
Great video again Gareth.
Cheers Robert. A tricky session as the weather was terrible but it was still enjoyable. Hopefully more to come soon. Cheers 👍👍
Only fished there once, great mark, parking a problem unless you park in main car park Whitmore and walk round. Makes night fishing a problem. Take care…. All the best……!!
Yes I agree mate, great mark but the parking has been destroyed. I used to park along Redbrink Crescent but this is now residential only and so I park in the main car park and walk around. One of the local residents did say I could park on Clive Road, I might consider this next time. Cheers as always! 👍👍
@@riversidewithme thanks for reply Gareth. I’ve got myself a ‘Vale of Glamorgan coastal parking permit’ which includes Barry island and more importantly Ogmore (my piece of ‘headspace’)…..keep ‘em vids coming mate. Thanks
@@lazydays3653 Good idea that, I've been thinking of doing the same! Hopefully more to come soon! 👍
Another nice video again Gareth 👏🐟
Cheers Gary, appreciated as always. Weather was a bit challenging but still an enjoyable session. Thanks for watching! 👍👍🐟
Enjoyed that buddy, never fished there for some reason but think I will add it to the list
Thank you Craig, glad you enjoyed it. Yeah give it a go, it's a great mark on its day and you never know what could turn up. Cheers 👍👍
Just what i needed after a long day in work. Always good to watch and inspires me to fish more. Thanks
Thank you Mark, nice to hear from you again. Glad to hear that you enjoy the videos, hopefully plenty more to come soon. This was a tricky session with that wind but still very enjoyable. Cheers for watching 👍👍🐟
Good video Gareth keep um coming 👍
Cheers Paul, glad you enjoyed. A challenging session but still very enjoyable. Hopefully more to come soon, have a good weekend! 👍👍
Great session Gareth we were in Brixham for two week cracking fishing of break water tight lines mate 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thank you Adam, much appreciated. Well done on the Brixham fishing, sounds like you caught a few! I love it down there, one of my favourite places, I'll hopefully be down there before the end of the year. Cheers mate 👍👍🐟
Thanks
Thank you Jim, I appreciate the support. Hopefully more videos to come soon. Cheers 👍👍
Hi gareth you ok fella, enjoyed the watch again nice one. Well done on your straps . Nice touch about the stone were your pa landed his cod. I'm the same rembering things like that. Its has been poor up here last few sessions. We are all waiting for the codling and whiting which should start arriving up the humber in next couple of weeks. Good luck ON your next session and all the best from GRIMSBY.
Hi Carl, hope you're well mate. Yeah the weather made the session a little tricky but thankfully a few Congers turned up ha! Thank you, Dad loved it down there, was one of his favourite marks and like you, I remember these things. Hopefully things will pick up where you are soon, those Whiting and Cod can't be too far away now. Been the same down here, been quiet for weeks but Autumn is now here and things should start to move. Cheers as always, take it easy! 👍👍🐟
Top effort Gareth, no one could ever call you a fair weather angler.
Nice video as always fella, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Richard, nice to hear from you again. Yes this was a tricky session, not quite sure how I filmed it ha! Thankfully a few Congers turned up and it was an enjoyable session. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend! 👍👍
Well done mate. It looked tough out there.
Cheers Ismail. Yeah the weather was shocking but I decided to stick it out and thankfully a few Congers turned up. Thank you for watching! 👍👍
Great video mate. 🎥
Thanks mate, much appreciated. The weather made the session a little tricky but I still enjoyed it. Cheers for watching 👍👍🐟
Another cracking video as usual gareth mate..We'll Done on braving the elements and landing the 3 conger eels... I look forward to watching your next video keep up the good work mate....and it's always nice to look back on good memories how big was your fathers cod mate🐟🐡
Hiya Nathan, hope all is good with you mate. Yeah I must admit, that was a tough one to film as I couldn't keep the tripod still, the wind kept getting stronger ha! Nice to see a few Congers though, they were keeping the rod tips busy, I missed a few to be honest. That's it, I enjoy reminiscing about Dad, I find it comforting. That Cod he had was just over 9lbs, used to get quite a few off there back in the day but I've not caught one there now for many years, may be a few will turn up this winter. Cheers as always, have a great weekend 👍🐟👍
Hi mate a 9lb cod these days is very rare lol.. great memories cost nothing...keep up the great work gareth your doing an amazing job..have a lovely weekend too mate 👍 👍

Well done on the fish, already looking forward to the next one 🎣🎣🎣

Great video Gareth 👍
Thank you Steve. The weather was a little tricky but I still enjoyed it, nice to see a few Congers. Cheers for watching! 👍👍
Great video as always gareth 👌
Thank you Gareth, appreciated as always. Not an easy one to film given the conditions but still very enjoyable. Have a good weekend! 👍👍
Great video Gareth. Fishing provides you those moments of solitude to reminisce and cherish the memories you have of your father, sounds like he was a wonderful guy. For me, fishing allows the reset of mind, body and soul. Think you capture that so well, keep doing what you do buddy-just wonderful to watch!
Thank you Mark, nice to hear from you again. Yeah Dad was a good bloke in fairness, down to earth and everyone liked him. I like to reminisce as I find it comforting, good to keep those memories alive. I think you summed it up perfectly there, fishing certainly does reset the mind, body and soul...it's a very potent drug. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching and have a good weekend! 👍👍🐟
Gareth when are the BBC going to give you your own series your as good as iolo I’m totally hooked on your channel can’t wait for the next one your a natural presenter and a top fella thanks for all your time and efforts Steve jones👌
@@stevenjones9670 Haha, thank you Steven. I've still got a lot to learn yet when it comes to filming/presenting but hopefully I can improve with each video, hopefully plenty more to come during the coming weeks and months. Cheers for the continued support, much appreciated, have a good bank holiday mate! 👍👍
Going to "cwtch" down in the rocks! only the Welsh cwtch Gareth, great vid, felt like I was there!
Haha very true Baz! Thank you, the weather was a little challenging but it was an enjoyable session. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Great watch as always bud, thank you. Had a week down earlier in the year, fished a few different beaches around the Tenby area, lovely area. Booked for a week next July at Langland Bay, Rods will be with me 😊
You're welcome Rob, glad you enjoyed it. The weather made the session a little tricky but it was still enjoyable, nice to see a few Congers. I like Tenby, will hopefully be fishing the North and South beaches during the coming months. I'm sure you'll get a few fish at Langland Bay next July, good area and a lovely part of the world. Cheers for watching! 👍👍🐟
Another great video Gareth in challenging conditions. Good mark that, can be some big fish caught on it’s day, your dads cod a prime example. Priceless memories. I had a smoothound off there 2 months ago. Well done on picking up other idiots rubbish as well. Enjoy your weekend mate, see you on the next adventure 👍
Thanks for becoming a channel member Matt, very much appreciated!! Yes it can certainly produce some good fish on its day and even on a blank, usually get a few bites there. Well done on the Smoothound, sounds like you've done well on those this year. Filthy it was, could have filled 2 bin liners with rubbish but only had a spare large carrier bag on me, absolutely no need for it. The weather was evil but I still enjoyed the session, the Congers were keeping the rod tips busy ha! Cheers mate, enjoy the bank holiday weekend! 👍👍🐟
Well done Gareth. Nice to see some eels coming in. I'm out in the morning trying my luck at Witches.
Nice to see the start of Autumn and the fishing picking up. Good luck mate. 👍🏻
Thank you Matt. A bit tricky with that wind but thankfully a few Congers turned up, they kept me busy ha! I like it down there, one of my favourite marks. Yeah that's it, let's hope the Autumn produces some nice fish. All the best for Witches tomorrow mate, I reckon you'll get a few! Cheers as always! 👍👍🐟
Far too wet n windy for me, you’re a brave fisherman. I did wonder what you were going to say though when you said, “ the conditions are SH-ocking”! Good stuff fella. Some good memories there for you. 👍
Hiya Carl, hope all is good with you. Ha yeah, I almost did say something else, believe you me...that weather wasn't forecast which was slightly annoying but thankfully I managed to make a video, just! Yeah lots of good memories, I miss those days. Cheers mate, have a good weekend 👍👍🐟
Another great video as always mate. Nice to see you in barry at last, youve been telling me there’s one coming soon lol. Sorry to have to write this in the comments to your video but I remember when i 1st discovered your channel, i can’t remember exactly what video it was but I remember you talking about memories fishing with your dad and remember seeing the pain in your eyes when you were talking. I felt really sad for you. Unfortunately last Thursday I suddenly lost my dad, he passed away in work in the butchers in barry town centre and it made me think of you talkjng about your dad because now i feel exactly the same and cant get my head around it. I hope your doung well mate and again sorry for putting this in my comments but it was you talking about your dad and obviously the fishing that made me fall in love with the channel in the 1st place. Take care Gareth and i look forward to the next video 👍🏻 RIP DAD ❤
So sorry for your loss Scott, what a shock this must have been for you and your family, very sad news. No amount of words will make you feel better at the moment but what I can say is that it will get easier, time really is a great healer. As you can probably tell from my videos, I enjoy reminiscing about Dad as I find this comforting. The coming weeks will be hard but rest assured that each day will get easier and you will find a way of accepting the fact that your Dad is no longer with us, I promise. I truly believe there's an afterlife and no doubt you'll see him again. Even now, four years on, I still have the occasional wobble when I'm missing Dad and this is to be expected, perfectly normal. Keep talking, surround yourself with good people and most importantly, take your time. I made the mistake of going back to work too soon, thinking I was fine and then it hit me hard, it was a delayed reaction. Look after yourself and just drop me a message at anytime should you feel the need to. Look after yourself mate 👍👍❤️
@@riversidewithme thank you Gareth, ye its surreal at the minute so i know its going to hit me hard soon. Probably at the funeral mostly. Keep up the good videos mate! We’ve got a big family so we’re supporting each other as much as we can. ❤️
@@scottkenny7661 Hang on in there mate, the fact you're from a big family will do wonders. I'm sure you'll give him a great send off 👍👍
@@riversidewithme 100% we will mate 👍🏻
Brilliant content as always Gareth. Braved the elements and reaped the rewards. Cracking mate 🎣👍
Hiya James, hope you're well mate. When I arrived I wasn't sure if I'd be able to film as the wind was so strong but I just about managed it ha! I was pleased to see a few Congers, I quite like them. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍🐟
Brilliant video Gareth, its nice to see that despite the conditions you’ve had a good day out and caught some fish too. Have you ever had much else off the beach there? My friend that I fish with isn’t keen on climbing rocks to get to marks and it would be nice to try the beach one day. Keep doing what you’re doing mate always enjoy tuning in on your trips out.
Thank you Finley, appreciated as always mate. I'm not quite sure how I managed to film this session as that wind just got stronger and stronger ha! I used to fish off the beach all of the time and had some lovely fish but the only problem with it these days is that it gets busy (lots of new houses have been built there) and so if you are going to fish off it, opt for early morning or night when it's quieter. Or what you could do is to fish off the flatter rocks (opposite side of Jackson's Bay) and you'd be casting onto the beach. Easier than the boulders but wear boots with a good grip as can sometimes be a little bit slippery. Hope that helps, have a good weekend! 👍👍🐟
yeah that’s a very good point but I’ll definitely try the other side of the bay at some point, it’s been a mark I’ve wanted to try for a little while now so I’ll definitely try it thanks for the advice and tight lines for the next session
Nice work there, crazy that those conger were taking rag!
Something that would be really useful to know when you talk about your rigs would be what size weights you are using for the Venue and tides
Cracking video again.🙂
Thanks mate, appreciated as always. Yeah it was strange, when I was a kid I would always get the Congers on fish baits but they've developed a liking for Ragworm these days ha! Apologies, I forgot to mention the weights in this one. I was using 7oz grippers and they held bottom fine, no issues. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍🐟👍
Gravest effort as always Gareth, thank god someone is going to do Nells, I have had some big fish off of their over the years, you don’t see it fished that much anymore
Thank you Stu, nice to hear from you again. Yeah the weather was challenging and got worse as the session went on but I just about managed to scrape a video together ha! As you say, Nell's doesn't seem to be fished much anymore but I think it's a great mark and I remember you telling me previously about the good fish you've had there. I'll probably do the left hand side first, on the rough with rotten bottoms, casting towards Jackson's Bay... hopefully a couple of fish will turn up! Cheers as always, appreciated! 👍👍🐟
A live bait fished in close would be interesting. Sterling effort in making a video in sum what adverse conditions.👍
Thanks mate, much appreciated. I'm not quite sure how I managed to make the video to be honest ha. Yes I agree, a live-bait in close could temp something nice, possibly a Bass. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Nice video 😊
You are hard core Gareth being out in those conditions. Excellent advice re taking care on the rocks. I fell down a breakwater similar to the one you were on and broke a couple of ribs, a thumb and badly tore ligaments in one knee. Been very reluctant to fish off the rocks since. Great video once again.
Thank you David. According to the weather forecast, the winds were meant to be light and no rain...I think I'll listen to the shepherds from now on, they are more accurate with their forecasts ha! Ooooh sounds nasty that, I can see why you're a bit hesitant now when it comes to the rock marks, that must have knocked your confidence. I was Trout fishing once on my local River and the bank beneath me collapsed...only a broken wrist but could have been worse. The things we do in order to pursue our passion! The weekend is here, I hope you have a good one. Cheers as always! 👍👍🐟
That was a gusty one Gareth ... There’s nothing weird about remembering where and when special memories were made, it’s nice to be able to go back and relive some ... take care mate and thanks 🙏
@@stephenwilkinson4214 It certainly was Stephen but it wasn't actually forecast ha! I enjoyed it though, nice to see a few Congers. Yes definitely, always good to reminisce and keep those memories alive. Hope all is good with, enjoy the weekend! Cheers 👍👍
Thankfully Mr Eely is in the Bristol Channel where you can’t see anything anyway!
Yes indeed ha! They seem to be everywhere at the moment in the channel but I suppose it's better than blanking! Hopefully a couple of different species will move in soon. Cheers as always mate 👍👍
Brilliant video again mate.. do you always fish alone? Some enjoy it better that way mind. Seen some big blonde rays come off the white light and some big eels
Cheers Keiron, appreciated as always. If I'm filming then I tend to be on my own but if I'm having a pleasure session then I sometimes go with one of my fishing friends, always it's hard to drag them out these days ha! Yeah it can produce some good fish in its day, had some lovely fish over the years. Thanks for watching! 👍👍
Humble xxxx
Thank you Ashley, I appreciate you watching the video 👍
well done Gareth. some nice conger you had there. must try this spot some time. where do you park at
Thanks mate, much appreciated. You could used to park on Redbrink Crescent which is directly above Jackson's Bay but that's been limited to two hours now. So I now park in Nell's Point carpark and walk around, takes around 15 minutes or so. Cheers 👍👍
hi gareth alough i dont sea fish only trout and salmon i always enjoyyour videos hope yoy dont mind my asking what make is your fishing hoodie many thanks
Thank you John, pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos. I haven't done much Trout fishing this year but will try and do a bit before the season ends later this month. The hoodie is just one that I bought off eBay, here is the link www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403225842647?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=O7-oWL6SQj-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=qz_asHiIRFK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Cheers for watching! 👍👍🐟
@@riversidewithme many thanks gareth keep up yhe good work
Great session. It’s a shame the fish stocks are not what they used to be. Keep up the great work!
Hi Chris, nice to hear from you again. Thank you, the weather made it a little tricky but I still enjoyed it. Yes it is a shame and it saddens me. The marks I fish are nowhere near as productive as they once were, I caught more fish when I was a kid than what I do now. Hopefully common sense will eventually prevail and commercial overfishing will end. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
I don't know if it was just the wind and weather, but it looks a bit of a desolate place to fish. I think the family memories kept you warm!
Another good vid, very atmospheric. Just out of curiosity and if you know, what were the old railway/tramway lines for on top of the breakwater?
Hi Edward, nice to hear from you again. The weather made the session a little tricky but I somehow managed to film it, although I almost got back in the car when I arrived ha! Certainly was a bleak day and everything looked a bit grey...it's a little more picturesque when the sun is out. The old railway line was used for the movement of coal back in the day. When I was a kid, there used to be a mobile shed on the track which sold refreshments, snacks etc. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend! 👍👍
I'm new to the channel bud great video tho 👌
Thanks mate, much appreciated. Hopefully more to come soon. Cheers 👍👍
Great video as usual, you mentioned the beach from years ago is it still worth fishing the beach anymore as I not as agile as I use to be?
Now that you are making more videos are you sticking to rock and beach marks or possibly including some local boat fishing in the future?
Regards Rod
Thank you Rod, much appreciated. I used to fish off the beach all of the time but nowadays it's busier (lots of new houses have been built nearby) and so if you are going to fish it, opt for early morning or the evening time when it's quieter. You can also fish on the other side of Jackson's Bay off the flatter rocks. This area is easier than the boulders where I was, although good grip on boots is important as can be a bit slippery sometimes. I won't be doing any boat fishing, just shore fishing at different venues. Cheers for watching! 👍👍
Thanks for the reply. I’ll always be watching very informative. I been fishing for years but I’m always picking up new tips for your episodes.
Been down them rocks not best place to be gareth when the wind bad ms cdf
Bit tricky those rocks aren't they, especially when wet! Oh the things we do to wet a line! Thanks Mark 👍
Fished it with my dad ,yes im crying ms cdf
I bet you have some great memories of when you fished it with your Dad and those memories will last a lifetime. Great spot, this one is special to me 🙂
Hi hello, Gareth I'm not quite sure if I'm right as to exactly where you are fishing but I'm sure that it is the same place, basically I noticed you mentioned about safety regarding the rock's and the railings getting onto the breakwater. I was made aware by a youtuber that you have to get a code for a door onto the mark from the only person around the tackle shop opposite? Because I definitely would like to at some point fish there, have I got the right place or not? Cheers
Hi Terry, I think you must be thinking of a different mark. There is no door or code required and no tackle shop nearby. So the breakwater is owned by the Association of British Ports and the gates at the entrance to the breakwater are generally locked and therefore, you need to walk around the railings...they have no problem with people fishing there as I contacted them years ago. So this is next to Jackson's Bay, may be take a look on Google maps and it will become clear then. You can park along Redbrink Crescent on the right-hand side of the road within the white lined area but you only get two hours. Better off parking in Nell's point carpark and then walking around, will take around 15 minutes (just check current open/close times for the carpark. Hope that helps. Cheers 👍👍
@@riversidewithme Hi Gareth thanks for the response and thanks for the info it definitely looks like a great place to fish 👍. I think the place I might be thinking of is a disused pier in South Wales possibly Newport 🤔. Anyway cheers mate thanks for the info and have a good weekend.
Hi, I'm wanting to fish this mark but where do you park?
Hi Neil, parking is an issue at this mark now as the council have recently made the surrounding roads residents parking only. You can park on the right-hand side of Redbrink Crescent within the white dotted line for free but only for 2 hours. I now park in Nell's Point Carpark and walk to the mark, takes around 15 minutes or so via the footpath. The car park opens at 8am and closes at 11pm.
Thanks Garth, that's a big help. Cheers
Is there much of a cod run in Barry?
It's like most places around here mate, not what it was in terms of the Cod run but can still produce on its day. Just a case of being in the right place at the right time. Cheers 👍👍
Yo Gareth... just a quick question for you... is your Dad still with us.
Hi John. Dad passed away in 2018, cancer caught up with him unfortunately. He loved this mark and in fairness to him, he had some nice fish and I like to reminisce, nice to keep those memories alive. Cheers for watching 👍👍
You keep those memories going my fellow welshman. God bless you 🙏
@@johndodd4375 Will do John, cheers 👍🙏
hardcore ☔
Ha yeah, that was a rough day, the wind just didn't let up! Nice to be out though and thankfully a few Congers turned up! Cheers 👍👍
Hi Gareth nice to see you back how about a session at ogmore deeps with me love to wet a line with you drop me a message on Facebook and we will arrange one it's a great venue
Hi David, nice to hear from you again. Ah yes Ogmore Deeps, great mark isn't it, I've fished it many times over the years. Yes, I'm sure that can be arranged, you can show me how to do it! I used to fish the mouth of the River Ogmore quite a bit too and I must I must give that another bash! Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍🐟
