You're welcome Rubel. It was a lovely morning, nice to see a bit of frost and ice. Thank you for watching 👍

Very true Stuart, very true, just nice being out there isn't it. Thank you for watching 👍

Thank you Steve, appreciated as always. It was a beautiful winter's morning and I was able to capture some nice footage. I appreciate the compliment, I always try to make a watch that has meaning and that is relatable, although I'm just myself when filming, there's no act or anything. The marks I fish are dying a slow death and so it's getting harder to show fish, hence why I focus on the deeper side of angling, although this type of video will never be as popular as the 'fish' ones! I'll keep plugging away and we'll see what happens, I'm too stubborn to quit ha! Hope all is good with you bud, take it easy 👍

Thank you Neville, much appreciated. Hopefully more to come soon. Cheers 👍

Thank you Richard, appreciated as always. It certainly was a beautiful winter's day, I couldn't complain. Cheers bud 👍

Yeah you're right there bud l, it certainly is the best way to be. It's a great feeling when you help someone isn't it, money can't buy that feeling. Me too, a few hours spent next to the water is good enough for me, the fish are just a bonus. Cheers bud, take it easy 👍

Thank you Neil, much appreciated. Quiet on the fish front but it was a stunning morning. You'll do well to get me on a kayak ha, although I appreciate the kind offer bud. Hope all is good with you, cheers 👍

I've never tried it Jeffrey, although it does look appealing in fairness and I might give it a go one day! Cheers 👍

If you'd be so kind I'd like some advice as from the end of the month I'll be a pensioner and I'll probably not be able to do as much fishing as I used to do that's why I've taken up metal detecting. I've got quite a bit of sea fishing gear so next time we're out in Wales with the Motorhome I'll msg you and you can have a rod and reel as a thank you for entertaining me all these months. You never know we may wet a line together as I'd like to meet you. Yours sincerely Jeff.

Thank you Jeffrey, much appreciated. I hope you have a good year too bud! Cheers 👍

Ha yes that's it Jonny, we've gotta keep wetting those lines! Cheers bud, tight lines for your next session 👍

I been thinking about what you said about where to take the channel. I’m just saying I will challenge you to a dual on newton beach in the summer ( east vs west sort of thing ) we could make it funny. Just a thought no worries if you think it’s a stupid idea lol. Take care of yourself, ever down this way don’t hesitate to give me a shout if you need me anytime 🫡

@jonnywebb5794 Well that could certainly be on the cards Jonny, the Newton Beach fish off ha! There's not much life up here at the moment, hope you're doing better down your way! Thanks bud, much appreciated!

It doesn't surprise me Peter, the Estuary is filthy at the moment. In my opinion, its ecosystem is dying a slow death and I fear that things will get worse. Sad but true, it upsets me and many others.

Thanks bud, I appreciate it and I'm pleased to hear that you and your wife enjoy the videos. The marks I fish are getting harder and harder each year and so I try to focus on the deeper side of angling instead, hence the scenery shots etc. I'll keep plugging away and hopefully I can make more videos, I'm too stubborn to quit just yet ha! Cheers as always 👍

Thanks Neil, it was a lovely morning in fairness and I was able to capture some nice scenery footage. Hope all is good with you, cheers bud 👍

Thanks bud, I appreciate it. I'm pleased that the videos remind you of when you fished with your dad, no doubt you have many great memories. Good on you for retraining as a counsellor, as you say there's something special about being able to help others, money can't buy that feeling, although I can appreciate that it's a lot of work. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

Sorry to hear that you were in an RTA Marc, hope you're on the mend now, couldn't have been a nice experience. Yeah the marks I fish are getting harder and harder each year, the upper channel's ecosystem is dying a slow death in my opinion but you never know, it may show signs of recovery one day. Thank you, I do like helping people, deep chat is something that I've started to embrace in recent years. All the best bud, take it easy 👍

@ all good now mate after my physio , got to agree with upper channel as been a load of congers just turn up dead on the black rock lave net grounds with no real reason why so poss pollution but surely that would affect other species as they al feed on the prawns shrimps and crabs etc

@benjoma1 Pleased to hear that bud, good stuff. Yeah it's nothing compared to when I was a kid, it's sad. I heard about the Congers, that is strange, although I'm not surprised, all sorts of poison being pumped into that estuary. Dad and I used to be able to dig a 1lb of lugworm in 30 minutes at St Brides, now you'd be lucky to find five worms. I hope one day it can bounce back 👍

@ used to be same in Cardiff foreshore for me 20 mins digging and would have 5lb blow lug for 4 of us with 2 rods each for 5 hrs fishing and throw what’s was left back, second Severn crossing and Cardiff bay barrage have disturbed the tidal flow and all beds now covered in silt and mud form places like the barrage and also Hinkley

Thank you Del, appreciated as always. Ha yes, you're right, the little pin whiting often save the day, there must have been quite a few out there. Hope all is good with you, cheers 👍

It was thanks Finley, it was nice to have some time off work. I hope you and yours had a good one too. Yes I often bury some old bait before the session starts. Not sure if you've seen my Merthyr Mawr video that I did before Christmas but I buried some bait in the sand and I had over 20 fish that evening, five different species and so it does make you wonder. Hope all is good with you bud, cheers as always 👍

Thanks Ian, I'm pleased to hear that the videos bring back some nice memories for you. The marks I fish are not what they were but I still enjoy fishing them, they're just nice places to be. Cheers for watching 👍

Thank you Andrew, much appreciated. I try my best to make a relaxing watch and I enjoy capturing the scenery, water etc, that's the best bit of making a video. I'll keep going and will see how things pan out, hopefully much more to come. Cheers 👍

Thank you Derrick, I appreciate that, nice of you to say. Yes the fishing certainly has become a lot harder, especially where I fish, although I guess we can only but try. I always try to make a relaxing and meaningful video if I can, I enjoy capturing the scenery and wildlife, I don't enjoy filming the fishing bit so much ha! I'll keep going and hopefully more to come with a bit of luck. Hope all is good with you, cheers bud 👍

Go to the very first comment of this video and the link to the rules is there.

Thank you Philip, I'm pleased to hear that you and your wife enjoy the videos. The marks I fish are getting harder each year and so the fishy action will become less, although it's nice that people enjoy the other elements such as the scenery, chat etc. I'll keep going and will continue to try and make interesting watches, despite the lack of fish ha! Cheers as always, take it easy 👍

Thank you Gerald, I'm pleased that you enjoy the videos. I'm to stubborn to change ha, I might do some different videos in-between the sea fishing ones that's all. Hopefully more to come soon. Cheers 👍

Thank you Alex. I try to film in such a way that it feels as if you're there, hence why I capture the water and surrounding scenery, I'm glad you enjoy it. East of Porthcawl - Merthyr Mawr is a lovely beach but on medium size tides only (not big ones), Monknash beach/ Llantwit Major Beach, Penarth Pier/Cardiff Barrage, The Knap at Barry. There are many more but the above are some of the easier ones that you could try, not many snags. Cheers 👍

Thanks bud, nice of you to say. Hopefully more to come soon, work and weather permitting. Cheers as always 👍

Thank you Neil. I won't change, I'm too stubborn ha, I might upload some different videos in-between the sea fishing ones that's all. Yes you're right, we can't always catch them, just nice being out there isn't it. Cheers bud 👍

Cheers bud, much appreciated. Hopefully more to come soon 👍

Thanks bud, I appreciate it. Yes that's it, blanking is a part of what we do isn't it, it's just nice to be out there, getting some fresh air. I won't change, I'm too stubborn ha, I just might do some different videos in-between the sea fishing ones. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

I did thanks bud, it was nice to have some time off over Christmas, hope you had a good one too. Ha yes, the farmer's dog always sits with me for hours when I fish that mark, he's quite well behaved in fairness. Thank you, that kind of thing would probably suit me better, although I wouldn't have said that five years ago. Cheers bud, take it easy 👍

Yes I'm the same John. I just enjoy spending a few hours next to the water and getting some fresh air, the fish are just a bonus. Cheers 👍

Thank you Richard, I'm pleased you enjoy the videos. Yes I'll show my local river this year, the wild brown trout in there are beautiful. My knees are definitely getting old, they're creaking a bit now ha! Cheers 👍

Hi Tony, thanks for the comment. Yes, I'm probably too hard on myself. It's because when it comes to my videos, I like to produce something decent to watch but as you say, it's not just about the fish. Sorry to hear that you're not in a good place at the moment. Having been there myself, I can appreciate that's not a pleasant feeling and I hope you start to feel better soon. The live chat is a good idea actually, I'll consider that one, I quite like a deep chat or two. Cheers bud, take it easy and look after yourself 👍

@ cheers pal. Just let it sink in that that the people you follow you do so for what you are doing. Embrace it and enjoy it. If you are happy with what you are doing then keep on doing so 👍🏼 …but please, if only a One off video, just for me, make just one video just showing what you use, the rigs you use. WE ARE ACTUALLY INTERESTED ! Is it a rig you designed yourself? Is it an old style rig that your dad sworn by?

Thanks bud, I'm pleased to hear that you enjoy the videos. Yes I'm the same, I just like spending a few hours next to the water and any fish that turn up are just a bonus. Less hassle sounds good and I don't blame you for having few friends, good for you. Cheers 👍

Thank you Philip, much appreciated. Hopefully more to come soon. Cheers 👍

I won't bud, I'm too stubborn to change ha! Cheers 👍

Thanks Carl, I appreciate that. It's great to hear that you're taking your grand daughter fishing, no doubt you'll have some happy times together, many memories will be created. Cheers bud 👍

Thanks bud, much appreciated. Nice saying too, I do like a good quote! My local marks are extremely difficult these days and so I can no longer rely on the fish and so I focus on the deeper side of angling, hence the scenic footage etc. I'll keep plugging away and hopefully more to come. Cheers bud, all the best 👍

Thanks Paul, it was nice to be out there again. In relation to what you've said, I have some video ideas in mind, talking above my local marks and why they're dying etc. Hopefully this will raise some awareness. Cheers 👍

Thank you Paul, much appreciated. Yes I fished Newport Docks many years ago, although as far as I know, it's not allowed now. As you say, the fishing was superb, had some crackers from there. Cheers 👍

You're welcome Neil, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a stunning morning, I couldn't complain! Cheers for watching 👍

you're a sound bloke bro keep doing what you are doing, mate. Your dad will be well happy that you're remembering him and getting on with the rat race we are all in. Take it easy, bro, and thank you for your effort

Hi Ben and Sally. Thank you very much for the donation, I shall put it towards some bait. I don't think I make the best videos but nice of you to say, I appreciate it. I always try my best to make a relaxing watch, I love capturing the surrounding scenery and the wildlife. The marks I fish are getting harder and harder, although I'll keep plugging away and you never know! Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍

Thank you Michael. Haha, the Welsh Michael Parkinson, very good! Well you never know, it's something that I could explore. I do enjoy having those deep chats, good for the soul I think. Hope all is good with you bud, take it easy 👍

Thank you bud, nice of you to say, I appreciate it. No it's not something I've thought of to be honest. If I was a little younger then I'd consider doing something else. Maybe in another life ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍

Hi Nick, hope you're well bud. Yes access will reopen in three to four weeks, I was speaking to the site manager down there yesterday, they've almost finished the works. Won't be long and we'll be able to fish it again. Cheers bud, take care 👍

@ Hey Gar that’s fantastic news thank you for the info / update 👍👍👍

Thank you Dai, much appreciated. It was quiet on the fish front but it was a stunning morning, pleasure being there to be honest. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍

Thank you Alan. I always try my best to make a relaxing and calming watch. I enjoy capturing the scenery, that's much more enjoyable than filming the fishing ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍
