Thank you Paul. I'll keep going for now and hopefully more to come. Just lost my enthusiasm for it a little but no doubt it will come back. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Cracking video Gareth ,keep em coming ,hopefully the Swansea Salmon have helped your mojo ,its never easy with a howling easterly..Your channel its about life the universe and fishing ,just what the doctor ordered.
Thank you mate, appreciated as always. That easterly wind was nasty and made the session a little tricky to film but it was nice to be out after so long, the sunset was amazing. Ha yeah, the doggies came to the rescue, they seem to follow me around, all good fun though. Cheers for watching, tight lines 👍👍
Well Well, being with you on your fishing trips, is well being for us brother, you put a vid up when you want, a week month, year, if its a year make it a fkn long one lol, great little session there buddy love to all, stay safe see you out there
Thank you Matt, pleased to hear that. Yeah I've just lost my mojo a little for the filming, just a blip hopefully. Yeah a quiet start but the doggies came to the rescue as per usual ha, can always rely on them to provide a bit of action. Hope all is good with you and the crew, looking forward to your next video! Take it easy son 👍👍
Thank you Geraint, I'm pleased to hear that. I try my best to make an easy watch, although that easterly wind made filming this one a little tricky ha. Cheers as always 👍👍
hiya gareth mate , what a great video chap . gareth just remember mate this is not a job ! we do this for fun i know how much time it takes to put videos together etc what with full time work family stuff the house and gardening sometimes you just need some you time . great respect gareth regards to the family see you soon chap
Thank you Tony, appreciated as always. Yes you're right, it's probably best not to take it too seriously, given that work etc often gets in the way of our fishing plans. I'll keep plodding away for now and will just upload as and when I can, that will do ha! Hope all is good with you and the family mate, I must venture over to the other side at some point. Cheers 👍👍
Great video as usual. Definitely more than a fishing channel, as well as the fishing get some lovely scenery and a bit of chat what more could you ask for
Thank you Ed, I appreciate it. I try my best to mix it up a bit, hopefully more to come with a bit of luck and more blanks no doubt ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Cheers Carl, appreciated as always mate. That easterly wind made the session a little tricky but thankfully a few doggies turned up ha! Hope you've been managing to get a few sessions in. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Nice to see you back out mate and catching once again. I can imagine it’s a lot of time and effort to do the vids, you looked a little tired. Just do what’s best for you mate. 👍
Thank you Matt, it was nice to wet a line after so long, I'd almost forgotten how to fish ha! That easterly wind was a nuisance but I just about dealt with it and managed to make the video. Only doggies but at least the rod tips were bouncing away, they like following me around ha! Yeah struggling for time at the moment but I'll keep plodding away for now and hopefully more to come. Hope all is good with you mate, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Most of the dog fish looked decant size just giving you a south Eastern report got a decent plaice session in the end once I realised it was a long distance casters game so needed to be on a pier moved on to ray fishing now from Thames estery were I blanked but my boy had a 6half pounder still like you I'm just happy to be there keep up the good work chilling us out❤
Sounds like you've been having some good sport John, well done. We don't really get Plaice where I live and so I have to travel down to the Gower to catch them, will hopefully be down there during May. Nice fish that your boy had by the sound of it, good stuff. Yeah that's it, just nice being out there next to the water, that's what I enjoy the most. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Another great video Gareth with some great shots and as always great comments from yourself, Nice to see you keep in the falling over clips as well 😁 and more the a few dog fish caught , As for me still having the Blanks 😁went out yesterday for a few hours and no joy but did see a few trout but couldn't get down to the area to fish for them😂😂 , just my luck , Once again loved the video look forward to the next one all the best.
Thank you Philip, appreciated as always. It was nice to be out again after so long, thankfully the Dogfish came to the rescue ha! Ah sounds like the Trout were playing games with you but only a matter of time now until you get a few, will probably be like the buses and they'll all come at once. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Hope the bottle of red went down well Michael, sounds good. I like popping down to Barrybados when I can, love the area. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Yes you're right there Adam, spot on. Thank you, that easterly wind made things a little tricky but it was good to be out fishing again after so long. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Good to see your mug back again after a few weeks. Only doggies but they saved the day. By the way, really like your new logo. Looks very professional!! Half way to 5k subs too.
Thank you David, it was nice to be back out fishing again after so long, busy life ain't it. That easterly wind was brutal but I stil enjoyed the session, the sunset was superb, one of the best I've seen. Yeah the channel seems to be growing, no idea how or why but there we are. Hope all is ok with you, take it easy 👍👍
Hi Gareth. Good to see you back. Your video's You say are about wellbeing, but they are also informative to anybody coming to fish at the marks you fish. It gives a date, time, conditions and the species likely to be caught and a view of the location in general. Keep up the good work.
Hi Glyn, hope all is good with you. Thank you, I do try and provide as much information as possible as I'm conscious of the fact that a lot of beginners watch the channel. I'm hoping the winds will swing around to a more westerly direction soon, bit warmer ha! Cheers as always, take it easy 👍👍
Nice video Gareth really enjoyed it. You mentioned that you were not enjoying filming as much now as you did when you first started, I think you’re putting too much unnecessary pressure on yourself to post something every week, please don’t give up, just do a video when it suits you and not because you feel you have to, your channel helps and is enjoyed by many of your subscribers but you need to enjoy it to... Cheers mate you take care and do what’s right for you 👍❤🎣🎣
Thank you Stephen, pleased you enjoyed the video. Yes you're spot on, I do put too much pressure on myself when it comes to making videos, most probably because I don't have as much time as I'd like to make them. Also I've lost my mojo a little but I'm far too stubborn to quit and so I'll keep plugging away for now. No fishing for me this weekend but hopefully the middle of next week. I appreciate the continued support mate, have a nice weekend 👍👍
Thank you Andy, it was nice to be out wetting a line again. The easterly wind was a bit nasty but I enjoyed the session, just about ha! Cheers as always 👍👍
Thank you Matthew, appreciated as always. Yes that's it, just been so busy of late, I need to sort it out and make more fishing time ha! Hope all is good with you, take it easy 👍👍
Good to see you back Gareth, I was wondering what happened to you. Please don't jack in the RUclips channel, as you say, it's not just a fishing channel, it's a well-being channel. It is for me, anyway. It reminds me of the great times I had with my dad when we went fishing as you say, fishing takes you back to your childhood fishing days with your dad. The same for me, and I'm 61 now. Re. The doggies, I love the breed, they are beautiful and so likeable, they've got character, just like our best friend, the dog. Incidentally, when they curl up and appear to go to sleep, they're actually using it as a defence mechanism and are in fact playing dead. Keep up the good work mate, please don't stop the channel 👍🏻
Thank you Steve, I'm pleased to hear that. I guess I've lost my mojo for the filming but no doubt I'll find it again, I'm far too stubborn and proud to quit ha! Like yourself, a lot of viewers enjoy the videos as they bring back the good memories and that always makes me feel good as that's what I try to achieve. Definitely, Dogfish are lovely and it's a shame they are hated by so many, those green eyes are stunning and they certainly do have a personality. Ha yes, that is indeed their defence mechanism, I don't know why I say they've gone to sleep, I'm losing the plot I think. Hope you're doing well, have a nice weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme You have a good weekend too mate, onwards and upwards, it's a hard life sometimes, but it's a great life, this isn't a rehearsal, it's our individual cup final, as you know. Peace be your friend bro 👍🏻
Thanks Ian, was nice to be out fishing again after so long. Indeed, can always rely on the dogfish to beat the blank ha. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍
Ah thank you Gareth, I appreciate your concern. Yeah I've just been flat out with work and the house etc, I need to make more fishing time! Cheers mate, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
That's good to hear mate, thank you. I'll try to make more fishing time so that I can upload videos on a more regular basis. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hi Gareth great to see you out again I was also wondering where you have got too I was complaining to the Mrs Thier are no videos from Riverside by me she said o no and carried on watching Emmerdale you know haw it is great watch mate keep them coming
Haha thanks Peter, pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video. Difficult one to film with that wind but was still good to be out. I've been really busy of late but hopefully I can find some more fishing time now, busy life ain't it. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hi Gareth, enjoyed the video as always. I've been a long term viewer of your channel and I think you're spot on with your videos being well being ones. I don't live near the coast so don't get out sea fishing as often as I'd like. Your videos are, just like you say, something I put on after work to relax and switch off - a lot of other youtube fishing videos don't have the same relaxing theme. I think if you're not enjoying making them us much maybe have some fishing time that's just yours where you don't have to film? Got to think about your wellbeing and if filming is making fishing not as relaxing then that isn't great for you. I think putting videos up less often might be a way of not letting film making becoming a chore. Take care and really appreciate the work you put into the film as always 👍 Roz
Thank you Roz, I appreciate that, nice of you to say. I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos, I do my best to make a relaxing watch, not always easy but that's my aim. I've lost my mojo a little for the filming but hopefully I can find it again, as you say it may be a good idea to upload less often, one or two a month or something like that. The plan was to make one every week but with work etc it's just not possible. I'll keep plugging away but knowing that I'll be uploading less often will take the pressure off and then I can enjoy the fishing again. Cheers as always, have a good week 👍👍
Great to see you back Gareth!! Another top video, in not so great conditions mate, but another fine watch....just be careful on those rocks buddy!!! I know what you mean about having a bit of break, I did the same thing with my recordings a while back....if you need time out, take it mate!!...we'll all be waiting with 'baited' breath!! All the best, Jon.
Thank you Jon, much appreciated. Yeah conditions were not the best and I didn't even expect a bite to be honest with that easterly wind but thankfully the doggies came to the rescue ha! Yes I don't blame you, important to recharge those batteries isn't it, I guess we come back stronger then. 'Baited' breath...very good, I think I'll use that one myself! Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Nice one Gareth, good to see you out again mate, taking us to more stunning Welsh scenery. Glad the day wasn’t a blank for you , hope you continue on with the vids bud,be a shame if you stopped🎣🎣.appreciate all your efforts 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you mate, appreciated as always. Apart from that nasty easterly wind it was a pleasant day and that sunset made the session for me! I'll keep plodding away for now and hopefully more to come, just need to find my mojo again for it. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Yes you're right there Scott, I guess we're only human at the end of the day. Hope all is ok with you and no doubt you'll be wetting a line again soon 👍👍
Hi ya Gareth .Great to see you back my friend ,We've missed you mate, keep that Mojo going , Don't give up mate ,never give up ,that's what my Mother used to say. Have a great weekend . See you soon ......💯👍
Yes and your mother was certainly right there mate, we should never give up, I think I'm probably too stubborn to quit anyway ha! That Easterly wind was a bit nasty but was still nice to be out. Thank you, hope you enjoy yours too! Cheers as always 👍👍
Hi Gareth, another top video as usual. Nice to see the different marks you fish and local scenery. Thanks for sharing and keep em coming we all appreciate your efforts
Thank you Richie, nice to hear from you again, hope all is well. A bit of a tricky session with that easterly wind but enjoyable all the same. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hi Gareth, just watching this video, mate you don’t realise what you give to some of us watching your videos, I think you hit the nail on the head when you say it’s a well being video, I am an army veteran and I am diagnosed with ptsd, you have inspired me to get out fishing to clear my head and reflect, when I’m home and I need to chill, I watch your videos and I drift to the shore line. Obviously when you catch it’s even better and the one thing I like is when you say left rod guys and we are allowed to see the bite, it adds to the excitement and realism. So I can say for me and many others, thank you for your entertaining and action videos and all the effort and time you put into them. Thanks (Shaun) 👍 😊
Thank you Shaun, I appreciate that. I'm pleased to hear that you find the videos beneficial, I always try to make them as relaxing as possible and it's good they help with your PTSD. Just nice being next to the water isn't it, that's what it's all about for me nowadays, nice to clear the head as you say. You can't beat a bit of sea air, one of the best forms of therapy out there! Cheers as always, take it easy!
Well done Gareth, good to see you back posting videos again and glad you got your mojo back. Can’t beat a session on the doggies as you always say beats a blank and good fun keeping the rods nodding and also keeping you warm. One thing I’ve noticed is when you cast as soon as your weight hits the water you retrieve a bit and was wondering if that’s just personal choice? I always try and feel the weight hitting bottom and pay out a bit of line( especially in bigger tides) to allow the lead to grip naturally before winding in slack and putting a slight bend in tip but that’s just me. Anyway another great video and also good to see you stumble on those ledges as they can be dangerous and it’s to easy to break/ dislocate an ankle and good footwear is a must. Keep the videos coming mate and been quiet in upper channel lately so you may want skip the mud for a bit 😉 All the best Marc
Thank you Marc, appreciated as always. The easterly wind was a little nasty but thankfully the doggies turned up, can always rely on them ha! Yeah it's just something I do, the weights were hitting the bottom quickly as they were 7 ounce, hence the quick retrieve. Your method sounds good though, will try that. I prefer the other side of the point, find it easier underfoot but no chance with that wind. Ha yes I was falling over quite a bit, I have good grip on my boots but where I was there were lots of little holes and gaps, just about got away with it, injury free! Nice to be out though after so long, just been so busy lately with work and everything else. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍
@@riversidewithme know how you feel mate, not been out at all this last 2 months with work and family but hope to soon 🎣 need a good session on the rays hopefully 🤞🏼
Nice to see you hard back at it Gareth, I think everyone deserves a few weeks off to recharge the batteries as well as doing a few things at home to keep the wife happy lol.... Then back out for a bit of peaceful fishing.
Haha, you're spot on there Kevin. Just that time of year whereby all of those jobs need doing. I'll hopefully be out during the week as I have some days off work. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍
You're welcome mate, I'm pleased to hear that you've been enjoying the videos. Good luck with your sea fishing comeback, no doubt I'll see you down at Goldcliff! Cheers for watching 👍👍
Thanks Paul, it was nice to be back out there again after so long. The wind made the session a little tricky but the doggies came to the rescue as per usual ha! Hope all is good with you. Cheers as always 👍👍
Hi Gareth, new ish to your channel and it’s awesome. I’m Sensing the well-being you’re sharing with us might be taking a toll on you. Please do one thing for us - don’t put yourself under pressure. A video every 6 months from a healthy Gareth and we will all be happy. Don’t stress about anything- we will still be here.
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. Yes I think you're right, I probably put too much pressure on myself to get a video done every week but I'm starting to realise it's not possible all of the time. I've accepted that now which is probably a good thing, that in itself takes the pressure off a little. Pleased to hear that you're enjoying the channel, hopefully more to come. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Yes that's right Gareth, still early yet. Interesting that you had a Conger on Thursday, that's often a sign that things are starting to move. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍
hi garath mate great to see you back out fishing well done on beating the blank mate another great vidio mate as alwayes keep them coming garath looking forward to the next one mate im the same as you dont target slams just like to catch fish dont matter what it is even if its the dogfish end of the day if it takes the bait im happy or if i blank im happy to be out there mate
Thanks Andrew, was nice to be out fishing again, I missed the water ha! Blowing a gale for most of the session but it was still enjoyable and thankfully the doggies came to the rescue. Yeah definitely, I just enjoy going fishing and like you, I'm happy to catch anything, just nice being out there ain't it, fish or no fish. Hope all is good with you mate, enjoy the weekend! 👍👍
Great upload again mate, looks like a great rock venue again, and plenty of action. I know where you are coming from about losing your mojo with RUclips, I've gone through it a couple of times, where I feel the filming takes over from the fishing, and I feel I don't enjoy it as much. Then I get some really nice feedback, about they've helped someone get through a rough period, or helped someone to start to enjoy fishing, and I think ok, I'll keep going. Your channel is a well being channel, and that's why I love it. Filming is hard work, staying upbeat for the camera is hard work. Your efforts are as always massively appreciated bud💯👍👍🎣🎣🙏🙏
Thank you Dylan, nice of you to say, I appreciate it. Yeah definitely, as a fellow RUclipsr you will appreciate what I was talking about in the video. I must admit that I've not been enjoying my fishing of late because of the filming, as you say it can take over the session, hence why I've lost my mojo for it a little. Yes I know what you mean, it's those comments which keep me going too, when you realise you're making a difference to someone's life etc, well that inspires you to get back out there again. I'll keep plugging away for now and hopefully I can find some enthusiasm for it again. Cheers bud, enjoy your Sunday! 👍👍🙏
Well done Gareth on the fish 🐟 a few doggies out there. Brilliant video again Gareth. Hope you don't give up making the videos as I think we all look forward to them Gareth. Great footage and editing as always mate. Can't wait for the next one 😊
Thank you Neil, that's nice of you to say. I'll keep plugging away for now and hopefully more videos to come with a bit of luck, just need to find my mojo for it again. A tough session with that easterly wind but thankfully the doggies came to the rescue ha! Hope you're well, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hey Gareth mate great vid glad to see ya back, I've never fished Friars might give it a go sometime soon, Looking forward to the next vid. Take care Phil.
Thanks Phil, was nice to be back out there again. Yeah give it a go, the other side is easier to fish off as the rocks are flatter but the easterly wind made it unfishable that day. Nice mark though and anything can turn up. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Hello Gareth, well done another great video. Really enjoyed watching and you do indeed give a sense of wellbeing and relaxation in your approach to fishing. Difficult conditions but well done on catching a few doggies, better than a blank. I hope you can continue to bring these great videos to us all in the future and I am looking forward to the next one. All the best.
Thank you Rob, nice to hear from you again and I'm pleased that you enjoyed the video. That easterly wind was nasty and made the filming a little tricky but thankfully I managed to get the video done. I've been really busy of late plus I've lost my mojo a little for filming but no doubt I'll find it again and hopefully more videos to come. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Thanks Gareth. Yeah you'll definitely get a Blonde down there. I landed a 13lber last year for the guy next to me and there's always loads being caught when the conditions are right. I had little chance of getting anything decent with that easterly wind but an enjoyable session all the same. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Thanks Nick. Yeah definitely, you can catch all sorts off there, especially at night. I prefer the other side but the wind made it unfishable. Cheers as always 👍👍
Good to see you out again Gareth, another great video bud, The videos you put together are always a relaxing watch and that’s great, from the scenery, the mood and the commentary A doggy has saved many a blank for me and always better than nothing Tight lines pal 🎣🎣
Thank you Nigel, appreciated as always. This one was a bit tricky to film with that easterly wind but I just about got through it. Ah yes, they always come to the rescue don't they, good old dogfish ha! These days, any fish will do me, big or small. Hope all is good with you mate, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Can see you were having 1 of those days before the fish turned up, falling over the rocks, horribly cold easterly, thinking why did i come today. Then the rods start going the mood changes suddenly your boiling aswell and all wells for spell 😂. Keep up the good work 👍 garerth.
Haha yes, that's exactly what I was thinking, why did I bother! That wind made the filming a little tricky but the dogfish saved the day as per usual and they kept me busy. I prefer the other side of the point as the rocks are flatter and it's easier to fish off but there we are, I still enjoyed it. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hi gareth, great to see you back wetting a line again I hope all is well, your videos are definitely help us and our wellbeing but they are also very good videos for methods, baits and types of fish that we can expect if we fish the marks. If you are heading newport way I know Goldcliff has had a good few spells for some anglers I know a few good spring cod have been coming out as well as the congers and a few rays, the warmer season is definitely well on its way. Once again great to see you back out and its much appreciated on the effort you put into the videos so thank you for the hard work.
Thank you Finley, nice to hear from you again. It was good to be out there again wetting a line. A bit tricky with that easterly wind but thankfully the Doggies came to the rescue ha. Yes definitely, the warmer weather is now encouraging some other species to make their way in, good stuff. I'm hoping to be fishing the Newport area during the next week or so with a bit of luck. I appreciate your continued support and hope you've been getting a few sessions in! Have a good weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme cheers Gareth yeah I've been out a few times on the upper channel with the cod saving the blanks for me but even if i do blank ikm glad to be out, seeing alot of mullet and bass patrol the margins/shallows as well which is a good sign of warmth. hope you have a good weekend as well and tight line for the next session
Glad you’re back Gareth….cracking video as per usual. I’m 2 1/2 years recovering from a coma and still unable to get out but we are getting closer. Your videos are keeping my interest in fishing going…thanks 👍🏻
Thank you John, not an easy one to film with that easterly wind but enjoyable all the same. I'm sorry to hear that you still can't get out there but keep going and no doubt you'll be wetting a line again soon, definitely! All the best with your continued recovery. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Great to see you back m8 👍I'm recovering from a serious motorbike accident and been waiting for a new edit to drop,sadly I can't sea fish for a wile until I'm better but great to see your doing well and back at it, if any time in the future you fancy a quiet session down my way let me no, keep on casting buddy 😎👊
I'm sorry to hear that Carl, I wish you a speedy recovery. It's horrible not being able to go fishing...I broke my leg and ankle 15 years ago and I couldn't fish for over 3 months, I was going mad ha! No doubt you'll be back out there soon, wetting a line once again. I've been super busy of late hence the lack of videos, I need to sort it out! Take it easy mate, all the best with your recovery! 👍👍
Gareth, Your video is real you show us the good and the not so good times , Please keep them going for someone who not an experienced fisherman it’s very useful and very much appreciated. Keep your chin up Thank you Regards Al
Thank you Al, nice to hear from you again. Glad you're finding the videos useful, I'll keep plugging away and will hopefully make plenty more. Can't seem to shake off these Easterly winds at the moment, been lingering for while. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Top video mate, glad to see you back its been a while. Dont give it up even if you only post once a month, its better than nothing at all. Enjoy a friday when youve put one up. Fished cogden down chesil last Saturday. Absolute rubbish, 2 dogs and a baby huss in 10 hours 😩 Can always count on the dogs in barry lol
Thanks Scott, it was nice to be at it again. That easterly wind was a nuisance and made the session difficult to film but I enjoyed it. Unlucky on your Cogden session, I guess it can be hit and miss down there just like up this way, although it's sometimes a little demoralising when you've travelled a long way and put the effort in, better luck next time. Yeah I'll keep plugging away for now, just seem to be pushed for time at the moment, busy life ain't it. Cheers mate, have a good weekend 👍👍
another great video Gareth, i like that term "well being videos" you're not pushing advice or trying to teach other fisherman to suck eggs. dont stop doing the vids mate just don't feel obliged that you have to put a a video up every week like some youtubers do all for the sake of youtube point scoring. i enjoy your video content and you get some great footage of the area in which your fishing which encourages people like me to get out and fish those marks. stay safe and well mate.
Thank you Paul, that's nice of you to say. Yeah that's it, I'm just an average angler who enjoys going fishing, nice being out there ain't it and any fish caught are a bonus. I seem to be really busy at the moment and struggling to find fishing time but as you say, if it can't be done every week then so be it. Friars is a nice mark although the other side is easier as the rocks are flatter. Cheers as always mate, enjoy the weekend...tight lines 👍👍
Nice one Gareth, great to see you back missed you of late. Doggies saved the day, I've been out a few times but still quiet, a few bass about. We'll I hope you continue with the channel because I would certainly miss it. All the best from South West Wales. 👍
Thanks mate, it was nice to be back. Tough with that wind but I'm glad I went. Yeah things still seem to be quiet out there, still early I guess. Good to hear that you've been getting out, no doubt you'll have some good sessions before long. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
Haha hopefully I have Ronald. Thank you, it was nice to be out again after so long. The easterly wind made things a little tricky but I still enjoyed it. Cheers as always, much appreciated 👍👍
Great video Gareth as usual. Easterly winds here in kent and Sussex are the kiss of death for fishing. Its like flipping a switch . You did well to get doggies. I know most people hate them but they give a bit of sport when there is nothing else to catch. As ive said before, ive fished for 60 years and i fish now to relax. Thats why i love your videos. They bring back happy memories.👍👍
Thank you Andy, appreciated as always. Ah yes, it's usually the same up here when the easterly winds are about and I was expecting a blank to be honest. Can always rely on the Dogfish to provide a bit of action, fair play to them! I'm pleased to hear that the videos bring back some nice memories for you, that's great. Like you I just fish for relaxation purposes nowadays, the fish are a bonus. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. Pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos, hopefully I can find the time to make more, so that I can tell a few more stories. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Glad to see you back fella another great vid👏 With mental health and well being so important these days your vids do more good than you know. So stick at it if you can buddy and to quote the man himself "All the best"🫡
Thank you Byron, appreciated as always. Yes you're right there, they certainly are important topics of conversation at the moment, hence why I'm happy to talk about it and I'm pleased you think the videos are helping, good stuff .I'll keep plodding away for now and hopefully more to come. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Nice too see you back bud, great video work, I know it can be a pain getting the shots but we really appreciate your efforts, it was so funny saying it's a well being video, and nearly falling multiple times ha, tight lines bud.
Thank you Keith, appreciated as always. Haha yeah, the ground there is so uneven and that wind made it almost impossible to film, which wasn't good for my wellbeing! Thankfully the Dogfish came to the rescue as per usual and the sunset was pretty special, so all good in the end. Cheers make, take it easy 👍👍
Thanks Yolo, appreciated as always. That wind made it hard work but it was nice to be out again after so long. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hi Gareth. I have never commented on any RUclips or forum before in my life. I enjoy your videos as i can relate to them. I grew up fishing the Olway and the Afon LLwyd. I also fished a lot of the sea marks you do. Maybe not to the same success as you down there as i never was very good at sea fishing. I have now moved to Amroth where i have bought a farm to try and become self sufficient and stay away from the maddening crowd. I have taken sea fishing up again and have started to catch some bass and pollock over here out in my little boat. I was gutted that i missed you when you were fishing in Tenby, I would liked to have come down and said hello. Your videos are fantastic and so relatable as you are one of us " a normal guy that like to goes fishing and spend time in nature chilling and trying to catch a fish" Keep up the good work with the videos, i can imagine they are hard to do as i can see there is a lot of effort gone into them. All the best mate and do what you enjoy doing!!
Hi mate, thank you for the comment. Ah right that's interesting, I still fish the Afon Llwyd and Olway Brook, in actual fact the Afon Llwyd runs behind my house. Well done on buying the farm at Amroth, sounds amazing and I'm very jealous! I wish I could do something like that, the older I'm becoming the more I want to get away from everything, I know what you mean. Some good fishing down that way too and sounds like you've been having some success with the Bass and Pollock, good stuff. Thank you, I appreciate it...I do my best to make a relaxing watch, it's not always easy but I'll keep plodding away and hopefully more to come. Cheers for watching, have a good week 👍👍
Thanks Kirk, a tricky one to film with that wind but just about managed to get a video done ha! Yeah that's it, my time has been limited of late, busy life ain't it. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Good to see you back Gareth and you are delivering a much needed and vital well being service to all of us anglers that cant always get out through health issues or pressing commitments. You keep it real and fishing is about fishing and not about catching, the location and the weather and you show it all as it is and good to see you did not blank.
Thank you mate, much appreciated. It was nice to be out there again after so long. I'm pleased to hear that you think the videos make a difference, especially to those who can't always get out, this is what I try to achieve and hopefully I can keep plugging away, just need to find my mojo for it again, no doubt I will. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍👍
Hi Gareth. Keep up the good work. I may be repeating what others are saying. I came across your channel only a week ago and have watched most episodes. You are probably creating something special with your broadcasts. I've been fishing since I was 9 years old and in all that time over come across such brilliant fishing information. Your style is very refreshing and relaxing but makes the fisherman in me want to get out there. Having had a fishing break for a few years due to work I think it's time "to get him back in". Hope to emulate your relaxed thoughtful and considerate fishing style. No more rushing for me. As for wellbeing.... I hope reading all these comments pick you up mate and give you a boost. Please keep up the great work. Best regards Ed
Thank you Ed, that's nice of you to say, I appreciate it. I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos, I'll keep plugging away for now and hopefully more to come. I try my best to make a relaxing watching by mixing things up, not always easy but it's nice when it all comes together. Yes definitely, time for you to wet a line again I think, I'm sure you will enjoy watching those rod tips. For me nowadays it's all about being next to the water and taking it all in, the fish are a bonus. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Keep it up gar you’re a rare breed and your videos are fantastic, I just went through the whole comment section and it speaks volumes to the quality and beauty of your work! I hope to emulate this in my own channel which I probably wouldn’t have started without you.
Thanks Ash, I appreciate it. I'll keep plugging away for now and will see what happens. I just don't have the time at the moment to upload on a regular basis with work and life in general getting in the way. Good luck with your channel, all the best with it! 👍👍
@@riversidewithme that’s all we can do Gar is keep on plugging away mate well said. I’d love to come along with you for a day and see how it’s done. I’m only just across the bridge.
Hey there but . Absolutely fantastic videos. I spent years and years carp fishing. Not interested any more . I love fishing the coasts . Feel so luck to be so near to the Bristol channel I Total get it. I understand why ya dad loved it so much . And took you. Iv bee. Hitting the marks on your vids . Thankyou so much for sharing you local knowledge. Please please. Keep it coming
Thank you for the comment Gavin, much appreciated and I'm pleased to hear that you've been fishing some of the marks. Yes I love spending a few hours next to the water, just nice being there and any fish that turn up are a bonus. Hopefully more videos to come soon, cheers for watching 👍👍
Thank you Patricia, nice to hear from you again. Yeah it's been a while unfortunately, my time has been limited of late, busy busy. I need to make more fishing time, that's a must ha! Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Great to see you back Gareth, I did wonder as I really look forward to your videos. You are brilliant on camera, engaging! Please don't give up doing them mate, your channell is doing so well because YOU are doing it so well. I fish around South wales myself from time to time, hopefully bump into you one of these days!
Thank you mate, that's nice of you to say. I'll keep at it for now and hopefully more to come. Ha yes, no doubt I will bump into you at some point, I can usually be seen on a rock or a patch of mud somewhere! Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍👍
Hi Gareth good to see video would be lost without them to watch that easterly is no good been fishing my favspot & have had four blanks but will keep plodding on hope things turn round quickly but like you say I am out fishing.
Thank you Michael, I appreciate it. Yes we can't seem to shake off these easterly winds at the moment. Let's hope for a South Westerly and then hopefully your luck will change. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Your videos are top notch to many of us Gareth so just keep doing what you're doing and we'll keep watching. Just one thing though, coming from Plymouth and having fished some very rocky Mark's, I know first hand how easy it can be to slip/trip on the rocks so be careful, we don't want to see a video with you with a leg in plaster :).
Thank you Vince, I appreciate it. I'll keep plugging away for now and hopefully more to come. Yes definitely, that side of the point is awkward under foot and especially so when trying to film as nothing is flat, I shouldn't take so many risks as I do! I've not done much fishing down Plymouth way but the marks do look very inviting! Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍

Cracking video Gareth ,keep em coming ,hopefully the Swansea Salmon have helped your mojo ,its never easy with a howling easterly..Your channel its about life the universe and fishing ,just what the doctor ordered.
Thank you mate, appreciated as always. That easterly wind was nasty and made the session a little tricky to film but it was nice to be out after so long, the sunset was amazing. Ha yeah, the doggies came to the rescue, they seem to follow me around, all good fun though. Cheers for watching, tight lines 👍👍

Keep the videos going mate. Me and my mrs enjoy. Very likeable and easy angler to watch on local waters x
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. I'll keep plugging away for now and hopefully more to come. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Well Well, being with you on your fishing trips, is well being for us brother, you put a vid up when you want, a week month, year, if its a year make it a fkn long one lol, great little session there buddy love to all, stay safe see you out there
Thank you Matt, pleased to hear that. Yeah I've just lost my mojo a little for the filming, just a blip hopefully. Yeah a quiet start but the doggies came to the rescue as per usual ha, can always rely on them to provide a bit of action. Hope all is good with you and the crew, looking forward to your next video! Take it easy son 👍👍
Another cracking video easy on the eyes as always the benefits of your videos are magic nd a few fish keep up the great work
Thank you Geraint, I'm pleased to hear that. I try my best to make an easy watch, although that easterly wind made filming this one a little tricky ha. Cheers as always 👍👍
hiya gareth mate , what a great video chap . gareth just remember mate this is not a job ! we do this for fun i know how much time it takes to put videos together etc what with full time work family stuff the house and gardening sometimes you just need some you time . great respect gareth regards to the family see you soon chap
Thank you Tony, appreciated as always. Yes you're right, it's probably best not to take it too seriously, given that work etc often gets in the way of our fishing plans. I'll keep plodding away for now and will just upload as and when I can, that will do ha! Hope all is good with you and the family mate, I must venture over to the other side at some point. Cheers 👍👍
Great video as usual. Definitely more than a fishing channel, as well as the fishing get some lovely scenery and a bit of chat what more could you ask for
Thank you Ed, I appreciate it. I try my best to mix it up a bit, hopefully more to come with a bit of luck and more blanks no doubt ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Hi gareth you ok pal, cheers for the vid to chill out to spot on. Well done on your dogs, all the best from GRIMSBY
Cheers Carl, appreciated as always mate. That easterly wind made the session a little tricky but thankfully a few doggies turned up ha! Hope you've been managing to get a few sessions in. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
You have a cracking Channel, well put together and very very enjoyable. Keep up the good work my friend.
Thank you Paul, I appreciate it. I'll keep plodding away and hopefully more to come with a bit of luck. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Nice to see you back out mate and catching once again. I can imagine it’s a lot of time and effort to do the vids, you looked a little tired. Just do what’s best for you mate. 👍
Thank you Matt, it was nice to wet a line after so long, I'd almost forgotten how to fish ha! That easterly wind was a nuisance but I just about dealt with it and managed to make the video. Only doggies but at least the rod tips were bouncing away, they like following me around ha! Yeah struggling for time at the moment but I'll keep plodding away for now and hopefully more to come. Hope all is good with you mate, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Well done again Gareth good sense of humour your dads proud mate
Thank you Kev, nice of you to say mate. The wind was hard work but I still enjoyed it. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Nice to see you back after a few weeks...vids are great Gareth takecare.
Thank you Thomas, it was nice to be out fishing again. That easterly wind was a bit nasty but I enjoyed the session. Cheers 👍👍
Most of the dog fish looked decant size just giving you a south Eastern report got a decent plaice session in the end once I realised it was a long distance casters game so needed to be on a pier moved on to ray fishing now from Thames estery were I blanked but my boy had a 6half pounder still like you I'm just happy to be there keep up the good work chilling us out❤
Sounds like you've been having some good sport John, well done. We don't really get Plaice where I live and so I have to travel down to the Gower to catch them, will hopefully be down there during May. Nice fish that your boy had by the sound of it, good stuff. Yeah that's it, just nice being out there next to the water, that's what I enjoy the most. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Another great video Gareth with some great shots and as always great comments from yourself, Nice to see you keep in the falling over clips as well 😁 and more the a few dog fish caught , As for me still having the Blanks 😁went out yesterday for a few hours and no joy but did see a few trout but couldn't get down to the area to fish for them😂😂 , just my luck , Once again loved the video look forward to the next one all the best.
Thank you Philip, appreciated as always. It was nice to be out again after so long, thankfully the Dogfish came to the rescue ha! Ah sounds like the Trout were playing games with you but only a matter of time now until you get a few, will probably be like the buses and they'll all come at once. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Great doggie session bud, nice vid 👍
Haha thanks Brett, you can always rely on them to save the blank! The wind was nasty but I enjoyed the session. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Barrybados vid from Gareth with his wise words,bottle of red on the terrace Friday is now complete thanks for the vid Gareth
Hope the bottle of red went down well Michael, sounds good. I like popping down to Barrybados when I can, love the area. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
A well being channel.Perfectly put that Gareth
Thank you mate, glad you agree. Hopefully I can make more time so that I can upload videos more often, that would be good. Cheers 👍👍
Great video, and is relaxing 👍 doesn't always have to be whistles and bells. look forward to the next, cheers Matt.
Thank you Matt, appreciated as always. Yes you're right, just nice being out there isn't it. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍👍
Modern fogs ur head fishing and fresh air clears the mind cheers for a great video Gareth tight liners mate 🎣🎣🎣🎣
Yes you're right there Adam, spot on. Thank you, that easterly wind made things a little tricky but it was good to be out fishing again after so long. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Good to see your mug back again after a few weeks. Only doggies but they saved the day. By the way, really like your new logo. Looks very professional!! Half way to 5k subs too.
Thank you David, it was nice to be back out fishing again after so long, busy life ain't it. That easterly wind was brutal but I stil enjoyed the session, the sunset was superb, one of the best I've seen. Yeah the channel seems to be growing, no idea how or why but there we are. Hope all is ok with you, take it easy 👍👍
As always brilliant 👏
Thank you John. The easterly wind was a little tricky but it was nice to be out again. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Gareth, I've missed you and your content, shared with a friend of mine Wayno.
Ah thank you Jason, I appreciate it. It was nice to be back out fishing again after so long. Hope all is good with you. Cheers 👍👍
Hi Gareth. Good to see you back. Your video's You say are about wellbeing, but they are also informative to anybody coming to fish at the marks you fish. It gives a date, time, conditions and the species likely to be caught and a view of the location in general. Keep up the good work.
Hi Glyn, hope all is good with you. Thank you, I do try and provide as much information as possible as I'm conscious of the fact that a lot of beginners watch the channel. I'm hoping the winds will swing around to a more westerly direction soon, bit warmer ha! Cheers as always, take it easy 👍👍
Nice video Gareth really enjoyed it. You mentioned that you were not enjoying filming as much now as you did when you first started, I think you’re putting too much unnecessary pressure on yourself to post something every week, please don’t give up, just do a video when it suits you and not because you feel you have to, your channel helps and is enjoyed by many of your subscribers but you need to enjoy it to... Cheers mate you take care and do what’s right for you 👍❤🎣🎣
Thank you Stephen, pleased you enjoyed the video. Yes you're spot on, I do put too much pressure on myself when it comes to making videos, most probably because I don't have as much time as I'd like to make them. Also I've lost my mojo a little but I'm far too stubborn to quit and so I'll keep plugging away for now. No fishing for me this weekend but hopefully the middle of next week. I appreciate the continued support mate, have a nice weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme Cheers Gareth you to ... take care 👍
Love your videos keep it up mate
Thank you Kevin, I appreciate it. Hopefully more to come, cheers 👍👍
Welcome back gareth great video as per usual
Thank you Andy, it was nice to be out wetting a line again. The easterly wind was a bit nasty but I enjoyed the session, just about ha! Cheers as always 👍👍
Keep up the good work Gareth. Do what you can, when you can when you want to!
Tight lines as always
Thank you Matthew, appreciated as always. Yes that's it, just been so busy of late, I need to sort it out and make more fishing time ha! Hope all is good with you, take it easy 👍👍
Good to see you back Gareth, I was wondering what happened to you.
Please don't jack in the RUclips channel, as you say, it's not just a fishing channel, it's a well-being channel.
It is for me, anyway.
It reminds me of the great times I had with my dad when we went fishing as you say, fishing takes you back to your childhood fishing days with your dad. The same for me, and I'm 61 now.
Re. The doggies, I love the breed, they are beautiful and so likeable, they've got character, just like our best friend, the dog.
Incidentally, when they curl up and appear to go to sleep, they're actually using it as a defence mechanism and are in fact playing dead.
Keep up the good work mate, please don't stop the channel 👍🏻
Thank you Steve, I'm pleased to hear that. I guess I've lost my mojo for the filming but no doubt I'll find it again, I'm far too stubborn and proud to quit ha! Like yourself, a lot of viewers enjoy the videos as they bring back the good memories and that always makes me feel good as that's what I try to achieve. Definitely, Dogfish are lovely and it's a shame they are hated by so many, those green eyes are stunning and they certainly do have a personality. Ha yes, that is indeed their defence mechanism, I don't know why I say they've gone to sleep, I'm losing the plot I think. Hope you're doing well, have a nice weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme
You have a good weekend too mate, onwards and upwards, it's a hard life sometimes, but it's a great life, this isn't a rehearsal, it's our individual cup final, as you know. Peace be your friend bro 👍🏻
A fish is a fish as you say 😉 Nice to see you out again.
Thanks Ian, was nice to be out fishing again after so long. Indeed, can always rely on the dogfish to beat the blank ha. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍
Well done Gareth
Thank you Stephen. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍
Genuinely worried about you last couple of weeks iv missed your videos, glad to see you back
Ah thank you Gareth, I appreciate your concern. Yeah I've just been flat out with work and the house etc, I need to make more fishing time! Cheers mate, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
You have made my weekend by posting this my friend. Keep up the good work and tighter lines .
That's good to hear mate, thank you. I'll try to make more fishing time so that I can upload videos on a more regular basis. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hi Gareth great to see you out again I was also wondering where you have got too I was complaining to the Mrs Thier are no videos from Riverside by me she said o no and carried on watching Emmerdale you know haw it is great watch mate keep them coming
Haha thanks Peter, pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video. Difficult one to film with that wind but was still good to be out. I've been really busy of late but hopefully I can find some more fishing time now, busy life ain't it. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hi Gareth, enjoyed the video as always. I've been a long term viewer of your channel and I think you're spot on with your videos being well being ones. I don't live near the coast so don't get out sea fishing as often as I'd like. Your videos are, just like you say, something I put on after work to relax and switch off - a lot of other youtube fishing videos don't have the same relaxing theme. I think if you're not enjoying making them us much maybe have some fishing time that's just yours where you don't have to film? Got to think about your wellbeing and if filming is making fishing not as relaxing then that isn't great for you. I think putting videos up less often might be a way of not letting film making becoming a chore. Take care and really appreciate the work you put into the film as always 👍 Roz
Thank you Roz, I appreciate that, nice of you to say. I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos, I do my best to make a relaxing watch, not always easy but that's my aim. I've lost my mojo a little for the filming but hopefully I can find it again, as you say it may be a good idea to upload less often, one or two a month or something like that. The plan was to make one every week but with work etc it's just not possible. I'll keep plugging away but knowing that I'll be uploading less often will take the pressure off and then I can enjoy the fishing again. Cheers as always, have a good week 👍👍
Great to see you back Gareth!!
Another top video, in not so great conditions mate, but another fine watch....just be careful on those rocks buddy!!!
I know what you mean about having a bit of break, I did the same thing with my recordings a while back....if you need time out, take it mate!!...we'll all be waiting with 'baited' breath!!
All the best, Jon.
Thank you Jon, much appreciated. Yeah conditions were not the best and I didn't even expect a bite to be honest with that easterly wind but thankfully the doggies came to the rescue ha! Yes I don't blame you, important to recharge those batteries isn't it, I guess we come back stronger then. 'Baited' breath...very good, I think I'll use that one myself! Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Nice one Gareth, good to see you out again mate, taking us to more stunning Welsh scenery. Glad the day wasn’t a blank for you , hope you continue on with the vids bud,be a shame if you stopped🎣🎣.appreciate all your efforts 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you mate, appreciated as always. Apart from that nasty easterly wind it was a pleasant day and that sunset made the session for me! I'll keep plodding away for now and hopefully more to come, just need to find my mojo again for it. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
@@riversidewithme your welcome mate 👍🏼
we all need a break now and then buddy not fished my self for nealy 3 months spme times just need some time to find your self tight lines g
Yes you're right there Scott, I guess we're only human at the end of the day. Hope all is ok with you and no doubt you'll be wetting a line again soon 👍👍
Hi ya Gareth .Great to see you back my friend ,We've missed you mate, keep that Mojo going , Don't give up mate ,never give up ,that's what my Mother used to say. Have a great weekend . See you soon ......💯👍
Yes and your mother was certainly right there mate, we should never give up, I think I'm probably too stubborn to quit anyway ha! That Easterly wind was a bit nasty but was still nice to be out. Thank you, hope you enjoy yours too! Cheers as always 👍👍
Hi Gareth, another top video as usual. Nice to see the different marks you fish and local scenery.
Thanks for sharing and keep em coming we all appreciate your efforts
Thank you Richie, nice to hear from you again, hope all is well. A bit of a tricky session with that easterly wind but enjoyable all the same. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Please keep going gareth,we are with you,best vid yet
Thank you Brian, nice of you to say. Need to find my mojo again, although I'm sure it will come back. Hope all is good with you, take it easy 👍👍
Hi Gareth, just watching this video, mate you don’t realise what you give to some of us watching your videos, I think you hit the nail on the head when you say it’s a well being video, I am an army veteran and I am diagnosed with ptsd, you have inspired me to get out fishing to clear my head and reflect, when I’m home and I need to chill, I watch your videos and I drift to the shore line. Obviously when you catch it’s even better and the one thing I like is when you say left rod guys and we are allowed to see the bite, it adds to the excitement and realism. So I can say for me and many others, thank you for your entertaining and action videos and all the effort and time you put into them. Thanks (Shaun) 👍 😊
Thank you Shaun, I appreciate that. I'm pleased to hear that you find the videos beneficial, I always try to make them as relaxing as possible and it's good they help with your PTSD. Just nice being next to the water isn't it, that's what it's all about for me nowadays, nice to clear the head as you say. You can't beat a bit of sea air, one of the best forms of therapy out there! Cheers as always, take it easy!
Well done Gareth, good to see you back posting videos again and glad you got your mojo back. Can’t beat a session on the doggies as you always say beats a blank and good fun keeping the rods nodding and also keeping you warm. One thing I’ve noticed is when you cast as soon as your weight hits the water you retrieve a bit and was wondering if that’s just personal choice? I always try and feel the weight hitting bottom and pay out a bit of line( especially in bigger tides) to allow the lead to grip naturally before winding in slack and putting a slight bend in tip but that’s just me. Anyway another great video and also good to see you stumble on those ledges as they can be dangerous and it’s to easy to break/ dislocate an ankle and good footwear is a must. Keep the videos coming mate and been quiet in upper channel lately so you may want skip the mud for a bit 😉
All the best Marc
Thank you Marc, appreciated as always. The easterly wind was a little nasty but thankfully the doggies turned up, can always rely on them ha! Yeah it's just something I do, the weights were hitting the bottom quickly as they were 7 ounce, hence the quick retrieve. Your method sounds good though, will try that. I prefer the other side of the point, find it easier underfoot but no chance with that wind. Ha yes I was falling over quite a bit, I have good grip on my boots but where I was there were lots of little holes and gaps, just about got away with it, injury free! Nice to be out though after so long, just been so busy lately with work and everything else. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍
@@riversidewithme know how you feel mate, not been out at all this last 2 months with work and family but hope to soon 🎣 need a good session on the rays hopefully 🤞🏼
Nice to see you hard back at it Gareth, I think everyone deserves a few weeks off to recharge the batteries as well as doing a few things at home to keep the wife happy lol....
Then back out for a bit of peaceful fishing.
Haha, you're spot on there Kevin. Just that time of year whereby all of those jobs need doing. I'll hopefully be out during the week as I have some days off work. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍
hey gar great video again keep plugging away budd good job mate looks forward to see the next
Thank you Chad. Not an easy one to film with that wind but just about managed to get enough footage. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍👍
@@riversidewithme you still did a great job mate well done appreciate the work you do for the videos mate thank you
Hi Gareth, lovely to see you back. Keep it up we all love it. Don't lose the mojo. I know it's hard work editing ect but keep going.
Thank you Les, nice of you to say. Need to find my mojo again for the filming, hopefully just a blip ha! Hope all is good with you, take it easy 👍👍
Don’t underestimate yourself Gareth. You are a star.
I'm no star David but thank you. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Thank you Gareth watching your videos has give me my passion back sea fishing hope to see you down goldCliff sometime thank you very much mate 👍🎣👊
You're welcome mate, I'm pleased to hear that you've been enjoying the videos. Good luck with your sea fishing comeback, no doubt I'll see you down at Goldcliff! Cheers for watching 👍👍
Hello there Gar. The new introduction is excellent. Missed you my friend, great to see you back 👍
Thanks Paul, it was nice to be back out there again after so long. The wind made the session a little tricky but the doggies came to the rescue as per usual ha! Hope all is good with you. Cheers as always 👍👍
Hi Gareth, new ish to your channel and it’s awesome. I’m Sensing the well-being you’re sharing with us might be taking a toll on you. Please do one thing for us - don’t put yourself under pressure. A video every 6 months from a healthy Gareth and we will all be happy. Don’t stress about anything- we will still be here.
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. Yes I think you're right, I probably put too much pressure on myself to get a video done every week but I'm starting to realise it's not possible all of the time. I've accepted that now which is probably a good thing, that in itself takes the pressure off a little. Pleased to hear that you're enjoying the channel, hopefully more to come. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Still in between seasons at the moment Gareth. I had a conger at St Brides on Thursday morning tide, the only bite, just after high water.
Yes that's right Gareth, still early yet. Interesting that you had a Conger on Thursday, that's often a sign that things are starting to move. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍
Nice to see you back Gareth. 🎣
Thanks Ian, was good to be out fishing again. Been so busy of late but hopefully more fishing to come. Cheers as always 👍👍
hi garath mate great to see you back out fishing well done on beating the blank mate another great vidio mate as alwayes keep them coming garath looking forward
to the next one mate im the same as you dont target slams just like to catch fish dont matter what it is even if its the dogfish end of the day if it takes the bait im happy or if i blank im
happy to be out there mate
Thanks Andrew, was nice to be out fishing again, I missed the water ha! Blowing a gale for most of the session but it was still enjoyable and thankfully the doggies came to the rescue. Yeah definitely, I just enjoy going fishing and like you, I'm happy to catch anything, just nice being out there ain't it, fish or no fish. Hope all is good with you mate, enjoy the weekend! 👍👍
Great upload again mate, looks like a great rock venue again, and plenty of action. I know where you are coming from about losing your mojo with RUclips, I've gone through it a couple of times, where I feel the filming takes over from the fishing, and I feel I don't enjoy it as much. Then I get some really nice feedback, about they've helped someone get through a rough period, or helped someone to start to enjoy fishing, and I think ok, I'll keep going. Your channel is a well being channel, and that's why I love it. Filming is hard work, staying upbeat for the camera is hard work. Your efforts are as always massively appreciated bud💯👍👍🎣🎣🙏🙏
Thank you Dylan, nice of you to say, I appreciate it. Yeah definitely, as a fellow RUclipsr you will appreciate what I was talking about in the video. I must admit that I've not been enjoying my fishing of late because of the filming, as you say it can take over the session, hence why I've lost my mojo for it a little. Yes I know what you mean, it's those comments which keep me going too, when you realise you're making a difference to someone's life etc, well that inspires you to get back out there again. I'll keep plugging away for now and hopefully I can find some enthusiasm for it again. Cheers bud, enjoy your Sunday! 👍👍🙏
Nice to meet you down there love the vids👍
Thank you James, likewise. Hopefully more to come with a bit of luck. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Well done Gareth on the fish 🐟 a few doggies out there. Brilliant video again Gareth. Hope you don't give up making the videos as I think we all look forward to them Gareth. Great footage and editing as always mate. Can't wait for the next one 😊
Thank you Neil, that's nice of you to say. I'll keep plugging away for now and hopefully more videos to come with a bit of luck, just need to find my mojo for it again. A tough session with that easterly wind but thankfully the doggies came to the rescue ha! Hope you're well, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hey Gareth mate great vid glad to see ya back, I've never fished Friars might give it a go sometime soon, Looking forward to the next vid.
Take care Phil.
Thanks Phil, was nice to be back out there again. Yeah give it a go, the other side is easier to fish off as the rocks are flatter but the easterly wind made it unfishable that day. Nice mark though and anything can turn up. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Hello Gareth, well done another great video. Really enjoyed watching and you do indeed give a sense of wellbeing and relaxation in your approach to fishing. Difficult conditions but well done on catching a few doggies, better than a blank. I hope you can continue to bring these great videos to us all in the future and I am looking forward to the next one. All the best.
Thank you Rob, nice to hear from you again and I'm pleased that you enjoyed the video. That easterly wind was nasty and made the filming a little tricky but thankfully I managed to get the video done. I've been really busy of late plus I've lost my mojo a little for filming but no doubt I'll find it again and hopefully more videos to come. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Thanks Gareth, a great video again. Keep yourself safe and keep it fun.
Thank you Paul. The easterly wind made the session a little tricky but it was nice to be out fishing again. Cheers as always 👍👍
As always a lovely vid mate. I need to fish friers point ASAP as I have never b4 and I got a feeling a large blonde Ray is waiting for me there.
Thanks Gareth. Yeah you'll definitely get a Blonde down there. I landed a 13lber last year for the guy next to me and there's always loads being caught when the conditions are right. I had little chance of getting anything decent with that easterly wind but an enjoyable session all the same. Cheers for watching 👍👍
@Riverside With Me you never know I might see you out and about. Tight lines
Great to see you back. Sure looks a good spot where anything could turn up. Keep the videos rolling. Cheers.
Thanks Nick. Yeah definitely, you can catch all sorts off there, especially at night. I prefer the other side but the wind made it unfishable. Cheers as always 👍👍
Good to see you out again Gareth, another great video bud,
The videos you put together are always a relaxing watch and that’s great, from the scenery, the mood and the commentary
A doggy has saved many a blank for me and always better than nothing
Tight lines pal 🎣🎣
Thank you Nigel, appreciated as always. This one was a bit tricky to film with that easterly wind but I just about got through it. Ah yes, they always come to the rescue don't they, good old dogfish ha! These days, any fish will do me, big or small. Hope all is good with you mate, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Can see you were having 1 of those days before the fish turned up, falling over the rocks, horribly cold easterly, thinking why did i come today. Then the rods start going the mood changes suddenly your boiling aswell and all wells for spell 😂. Keep up the good work 👍 garerth.
Haha yes, that's exactly what I was thinking, why did I bother! That wind made the filming a little tricky but the dogfish saved the day as per usual and they kept me busy. I prefer the other side of the point as the rocks are flatter and it's easier to fish off but there we are, I still enjoyed it. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hi gareth, great to see you back wetting a line again I hope all is well, your videos are definitely help us and our wellbeing but they are also very good videos for methods, baits and types of fish that we can expect if we fish the marks. If you are heading newport way I know Goldcliff has had a good few spells for some anglers I know a few good spring cod have been coming out as well as the congers and a few rays, the warmer season is definitely well on its way. Once again great to see you back out and its much appreciated on the effort you put into the videos so thank you for the hard work.
Thank you Finley, nice to hear from you again. It was good to be out there again wetting a line. A bit tricky with that easterly wind but thankfully the Doggies came to the rescue ha. Yes definitely, the warmer weather is now encouraging some other species to make their way in, good stuff. I'm hoping to be fishing the Newport area during the next week or so with a bit of luck. I appreciate your continued support and hope you've been getting a few sessions in! Have a good weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme cheers Gareth yeah I've been out a few times on the upper channel with the cod saving the blanks for me but even if i do blank ikm glad to be out, seeing alot of mullet and bass patrol the margins/shallows as well which is a good sign of warmth. hope you have a good weekend as well and tight line for the next session
Glad you’re back Gareth….cracking video as per usual. I’m 2 1/2 years recovering from a coma and still unable to get out but we are getting closer. Your videos are keeping my interest in fishing going…thanks 👍🏻
Thank you John, not an easy one to film with that easterly wind but enjoyable all the same. I'm sorry to hear that you still can't get out there but keep going and no doubt you'll be wetting a line again soon, definitely! All the best with your continued recovery. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Great to see you back m8 👍I'm recovering from a serious motorbike accident and been waiting for a new edit to drop,sadly I can't sea fish for a wile until I'm better but great to see your doing well and back at it, if any time in the future you fancy a quiet session down my way let me no, keep on casting buddy 😎👊
I'm sorry to hear that Carl, I wish you a speedy recovery. It's horrible not being able to go fishing...I broke my leg and ankle 15 years ago and I couldn't fish for over 3 months, I was going mad ha! No doubt you'll be back out there soon, wetting a line once again. I've been super busy of late hence the lack of videos, I need to sort it out! Take it easy mate, all the best with your recovery! 👍👍
Gareth, Your video is real you show us the good and the not so good times ,
Please keep them going for someone who not an experienced fisherman it’s very useful
and very much appreciated. Keep your chin up
Thank you
Regards
Al
Thank you Al, nice to hear from you again. Glad you're finding the videos useful, I'll keep plugging away and will hopefully make plenty more. Can't seem to shake off these Easterly winds at the moment, been lingering for while. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Top video mate, glad to see you back its been a while. Dont give it up even if you only post once a month, its better than nothing at all. Enjoy a friday when youve put one up. Fished cogden down chesil last Saturday. Absolute rubbish, 2 dogs and a baby huss in 10 hours 😩 Can always count on the dogs in barry lol
Thanks Scott, it was nice to be at it again. That easterly wind was a nuisance and made the session difficult to film but I enjoyed it. Unlucky on your Cogden session, I guess it can be hit and miss down there just like up this way, although it's sometimes a little demoralising when you've travelled a long way and put the effort in, better luck next time. Yeah I'll keep plugging away for now, just seem to be pushed for time at the moment, busy life ain't it. Cheers mate, have a good weekend 👍👍
Loving the posative vibes on your channel, 👌👍
Thank you David, much appreciated. I'm having a little break from RUclips at the moment but I'll hopefully be out filming again soon. Cheers 👍👍
@riversidewithme enjoy your brake , can't wait for 2024 videos , all the best 👍
@@DavidWilliams-hm4cv Thank you 👍
another great video Gareth, i like that term "well being videos" you're not pushing advice or trying to teach other fisherman to suck eggs. dont stop doing the vids mate just don't feel obliged that you have to put a a video up every week like some youtubers do all for the sake of youtube point scoring. i enjoy your video content and you get some great footage of the area in which your fishing which encourages people like me to get out and fish those marks. stay safe and well mate.
Thank you Paul, that's nice of you to say. Yeah that's it, I'm just an average angler who enjoys going fishing, nice being out there ain't it and any fish caught are a bonus. I seem to be really busy at the moment and struggling to find fishing time but as you say, if it can't be done every week then so be it. Friars is a nice mark although the other side is easier as the rocks are flatter. Cheers as always mate, enjoy the weekend...tight lines 👍👍
I completely agree! The best “stress buster” I’ve come across and if there’s only one every month then it’s better than none!
@@AshDrowninWormsThank you Ash, nice of you to say. I'll keep plugging away for now and will see what happens. Hope all is good with you. Cheers 👍👍
Nice one Gareth, great to see you back missed you of late. Doggies saved the day, I've been out a few times but still quiet, a few bass about. We'll I hope you continue with the channel because I would certainly miss it. All the best from South West Wales. 👍
Thanks mate, it was nice to be back. Tough with that wind but I'm glad I went. Yeah things still seem to be quiet out there, still early I guess. Good to hear that you've been getting out, no doubt you'll have some good sessions before long. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
Love your videos keep up the good work 👍 and tight lines
Thank you David, I appreciate it. Hopefully more to come. Cheers 👍👍
Hi Gareth.
Nice to see you back. Nothing wrong with a spell off....hope you earned some brownie points working on the house lol.
Stay lucky 👍
Haha hopefully I have Ronald. Thank you, it was nice to be out again after so long. The easterly wind made things a little tricky but I still enjoyed it. Cheers as always, much appreciated 👍👍
Another lovely video Gareth 💯👍👍
Thank you Leighton, it was nice to be out again wetting a line. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍
Great to see you back on mate try not to give up love your sessions keep it up
Thank you Roy, I appreciate it. I'll keep plugging away and hopefully I can make plenty more videos, need to make more time. Cheers as always 👍👍
Great video Gareth as usual. Easterly winds here in kent and Sussex are the kiss of death for fishing. Its like flipping a switch . You did well to get doggies. I know most people hate them but they give a bit of sport when there is nothing else to catch. As ive said before, ive fished for 60 years and i fish now to relax. Thats why i love your videos. They bring back happy memories.👍👍
Thank you Andy, appreciated as always. Ah yes, it's usually the same up here when the easterly winds are about and I was expecting a blank to be honest. Can always rely on the Dogfish to provide a bit of action, fair play to them! I'm pleased to hear that the videos bring back some nice memories for you, that's great. Like you I just fish for relaxation purposes nowadays, the fish are a bonus. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Keep up the great work mate I love your vids your getting out enjoying your self as you should and love your stories
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. Pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos, hopefully I can find the time to make more, so that I can tell a few more stories. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Glad to see you back fella another great vid👏
With mental health and well being so important these days your vids do more good than you know.
So stick at it if you can buddy and to quote the man himself
"All the best"🫡
Thank you Byron, appreciated as always. Yes you're right there, they certainly are important topics of conversation at the moment, hence why I'm happy to talk about it and I'm pleased you think the videos are helping, good stuff .I'll keep plodding away for now and hopefully more to come. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Nice too see you back bud, great video work, I know it can be a pain getting the shots but we really appreciate your efforts, it was so funny saying it's a well being video, and nearly falling multiple times ha, tight lines bud.
Thank you Keith, appreciated as always. Haha yeah, the ground there is so uneven and that wind made it almost impossible to film, which wasn't good for my wellbeing! Thankfully the Dogfish came to the rescue as per usual and the sunset was pretty special, so all good in the end. Cheers make, take it easy 👍👍
Another cracking video Gareth, great watch as always 👍👍
Thanks Yolo, appreciated as always. That wind made it hard work but it was nice to be out again after so long. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hi Gareth. I have never commented on any RUclips or forum before in my life. I enjoy your videos as i can relate to them. I grew up fishing the Olway and the Afon LLwyd. I also fished a lot of the sea marks you do. Maybe not to the same success as you down there as i never was very good at sea fishing. I have now moved to Amroth where i have bought a farm to try and become self sufficient and stay away from the maddening crowd. I have taken sea fishing up again and have started to catch some bass and pollock over here out in my little boat. I was gutted that i missed you when you were fishing in Tenby, I would liked to have come down and said hello. Your videos are fantastic and so relatable as you are one of us " a normal guy that like to goes fishing and spend time in nature chilling and trying to catch a fish" Keep up the good work with the videos, i can imagine they are hard to do as i can see there is a lot of effort gone into them. All the best mate and do what you enjoy doing!!
Hi mate, thank you for the comment. Ah right that's interesting, I still fish the Afon Llwyd and Olway Brook, in actual fact the Afon Llwyd runs behind my house. Well done on buying the farm at Amroth, sounds amazing and I'm very jealous! I wish I could do something like that, the older I'm becoming the more I want to get away from everything, I know what you mean. Some good fishing down that way too and sounds like you've been having some success with the Bass and Pollock, good stuff. Thank you, I appreciate it...I do my best to make a relaxing watch, it's not always easy but I'll keep plodding away and hopefully more to come. Cheers for watching, have a good week 👍👍
Another great video mate you do your best to do video but other thinks is important to you can only do video when free simple m8 great stuff
Thanks Kirk, a tricky one to film with that wind but just about managed to get a video done ha! Yeah that's it, my time has been limited of late, busy life ain't it. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Good to see you back Gareth and you are delivering a much needed and vital well being service to all of us anglers that cant always get out through health issues or pressing commitments. You keep it real and fishing is about fishing and not about catching, the location and the weather and you show it all as it is and good to see you did not blank.
Thank you mate, much appreciated. It was nice to be out there again after so long. I'm pleased to hear that you think the videos make a difference, especially to those who can't always get out, this is what I try to achieve and hopefully I can keep plugging away, just need to find my mojo for it again, no doubt I will. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍👍
Hi Gareth. Keep up the good work. I may be repeating what others are saying. I came across your channel only a week ago and have watched most episodes. You are probably creating something special with your broadcasts. I've been fishing since I was 9 years old and in all that time over come across such brilliant fishing information. Your style is very refreshing and relaxing but makes the fisherman in me want to get out there. Having had a fishing break for a few years due to work I think it's time "to get him back in". Hope to emulate your relaxed thoughtful and considerate fishing style. No more rushing for me. As for wellbeing.... I hope reading all these comments pick you up mate and give you a boost. Please keep up the great work. Best regards Ed
Thank you Ed, that's nice of you to say, I appreciate it. I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos, I'll keep plugging away for now and hopefully more to come. I try my best to make a relaxing watching by mixing things up, not always easy but it's nice when it all comes together. Yes definitely, time for you to wet a line again I think, I'm sure you will enjoy watching those rod tips. For me nowadays it's all about being next to the water and taking it all in, the fish are a bonus. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
The best content on the web.. Great stuff Gareth.
Ah thank you Rick, that's nice of you to say. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the long weekend 👍👍
Another good 👍 well done keep up the good work buddy
Thank you Jon, appreciated as always. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍👍
Keep it up gar you’re a rare breed and your videos are fantastic, I just went through the whole comment section and it speaks volumes to the quality and beauty of your work! I hope to emulate this in my own channel which I probably wouldn’t have started without you.
Thanks Ash, I appreciate it. I'll keep plugging away for now and will see what happens. I just don't have the time at the moment to upload on a regular basis with work and life in general getting in the way. Good luck with your channel, all the best with it! 👍👍
@@riversidewithme that’s all we can do Gar is keep on plugging away mate well said. I’d love to come along with you for a day and see how it’s done. I’m only just across the bridge.
Hey there but . Absolutely fantastic videos. I spent years and years carp fishing. Not interested any more . I love fishing the coasts . Feel so luck to be so near to the Bristol channel I Total get it. I understand why ya dad loved it so much . And took you. Iv bee. Hitting the marks on your vids . Thankyou so much for sharing you local knowledge. Please please. Keep it coming
Thank you for the comment Gavin, much appreciated and I'm pleased to hear that you've been fishing some of the marks. Yes I love spending a few hours next to the water, just nice being there and any fish that turn up are a bonus. Hopefully more videos to come soon, cheers for watching 👍👍
Lovely to see you Gareth, was getting quite worried! . Great filming and fishing as usual. Please don't stop filming! Looking forward to next one.
Thank you Patricia, nice to hear from you again. Yeah it's been a while unfortunately, my time has been limited of late, busy busy. I need to make more fishing time, that's a must ha! Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Great to see you back Gareth, I did wonder as I really look forward to your videos. You are brilliant on camera, engaging! Please don't give up doing them mate, your channell is doing so well because YOU are doing it so well. I fish around South wales myself from time to time, hopefully bump into you one of these days!
Thank you mate, that's nice of you to say. I'll keep at it for now and hopefully more to come. Ha yes, no doubt I will bump into you at some point, I can usually be seen on a rock or a patch of mud somewhere! Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍👍
Nice vid, well done for braving those easterlies
Thank you Tracey, the easterly wind made the session a little tricky but it was nice to be out fishing again. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍👍
Hi Gareth good to see video would be lost without them to watch that easterly is no good been fishing my favspot & have had four blanks but will keep plodding on hope things turn round quickly but like you say I am out fishing.
Thank you Michael, I appreciate it. Yes we can't seem to shake off these easterly winds at the moment. Let's hope for a South Westerly and then hopefully your luck will change. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Your videos are top notch to many of us Gareth so just keep doing what you're doing and we'll keep watching. Just one thing though, coming from Plymouth and having fished some very rocky Mark's, I know first hand how easy it can be to slip/trip on the rocks so be careful, we don't want to see a video with you with a leg in plaster :).
Thank you Vince, I appreciate it. I'll keep plugging away for now and hopefully more to come. Yes definitely, that side of the point is awkward under foot and especially so when trying to film as nothing is flat, I shouldn't take so many risks as I do! I've not done much fishing down Plymouth way but the marks do look very inviting! Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme You too.
