  • I couldn't resist returning to Nell's Point in Barry after my last good session down there. A great winter Cod fishing mark on its day and during the festive period it can throw up some nice surprises. One of favourite marks on the Welsh side of the Bristol Channel.

      Thanks Neil. Can be a great mark on its day, although I missed a lot of bites during this particular session, my own fault, faffing about with the camera etc. I'll hopefully be out this coming weekend. Cheers as always 👍👍

    Hello my friend I am watching from Cairns in Australia, I was born in Liverpool and migrated to Australia at age 4, Fishing is very popular here and is my main hobbie, never give up and I just wanted to say great vids and keep up the hunt for those illusive critters in the murky depths, cheers mate.

    • @riversidewithme
      @riversidewithme  2 года назад

      Thank you Richard, I appreciate it. Ah right, that's interesting, I bet the fishing where you are is superb! Yeah that's it, I'll keep plugging away and you never know ha! The marks I fish are not as productive as they once were but I still fish them as they're special to me, lots of good memories and on their day they can still produce some nice fish. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍👍

    • @AussieRic
      @AussieRic 2 года назад +1

      @@riversidewithme Thanks for your reply, I hope the fish come back and energize your fishing experience, The fishing isn't great like people make out, sometimes hours of fishing without 1 fish, and when they are biting its usually small reef sharks, occasionally you get a nice fish but its surely over rated here in cairns, I'm told I have to go out 50 kilometres or more to enchance my catch, most days its too rough on the water, waiting for that calm swell day, I hope it gets better for you, they say the more Rods the merrier and fish an hour either side of the tide change. Cheers have a great New Year.

    When having problems connecting with fish on a flapper rig try 2-3 different sizes of hooks, like size 1, 1/0, 2/0. Then see what size is catching. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Catch you in the new year.

    You make awesome, informative videos with a touch of nature’s seasonal splendour
    All the best things I’ve been lucky enough to pass off onto my nephew. He hates classrooms but loves nature - his sister Is a bookworm. If you mention fishing to either they’re pumped and both want to go
    Fantastic inclusionary sport for all. Best wishes to yourself (&family), plus all subscribers for the year ahead🎉👍🏻👌

Great to hear that your niece and nephew love fishing, long may it continue. Being next to the water for a few hours, at one with nature, can teach you a lot and it's no coincidence that a lot of anglers have a good knowledge of natural history. Thank you for the support this year, it is very much appreciated. I hope you and your family are enjoying the festive period! Cheers 👍👍

    Hi hope this message find you in good heath and spirit for you and your family. Just wanted to mention that in the new year I will endeavour to contribute to you and your channel. I would love to hear more about your fishing life with you and your dad. I can tell it means a lot to you as mine to me. This just leaves me to say have a lovely Christmas and I hope you have a great new year with many new adventures and when your recording never drop your hard with the running tides. Sometime in the new year I will be going to port tol bot in South Wales to see my sister at the maesteg f there is a possibility we could meet to bump fists.
    Witch just leaves me to say merry Christmas and happy new many thanks big Steve ps not to many largers

      Thank you Steve, nice to know that you'll be continuing to watch the videos, good stuff. Yeah that's it, I like talking about dad as it keeps those memories alive and makes me feel a little better too. The marks I fish are not as productive as they once were but I still like fishing them as they are special to me. Ah nice, there are some good marks around Port Talbot, some nice beach and rock areas close by such as Aberavon beach and Sker and I'm sure we'll bump into eachother! Thanks for the support this year and I hope you have a great Christmas! Cheers 👍👍

    That was a bit of a hard slog Gareth. At least you avoided the blank and had plenty of bites to keep you interested. As usual, the scenery was great...Sounds like you have some interesting marks for future videos, especially Brixham which always seems to fish well. Have you been back to the Taff Estuary since your last videos there? Wishing you and your family a very Happy Christmas and very happy, safe and prosperous New Year. Thanks for all your videos this year and will look forward to new ones in 2023.

    • @riversidewithme

      Thanks David. It was a really frustrating session, so many bites but just couldn't connect, I even tried smaller hooks and baits but still no joy. I still enjoyed it though, weather was superb and was a pleasure to be out. Yeah some different marks coming up, will hopefully be a few fish about, there will be at Brixham! I was hoping to go back to the Taff Estuary but the accommodation prices are too expensive, will maybe go next year but will go with some other people too so that it's cheaper. Thank you for the support this year, it is appreciated and I hope you and your family have a great Christmas! Take it easy! 👍👍

    • @riversidewithme
      @riversidewithme  2 года назад +1

      Thanks mate, appreciated as always. Unlucky on the Porthcawl blanks but I'm sure you'll catch a few next time. Sounds like the corks are a good idea when it comes to keeping the bait off the bottom, nice one. Crabs can be a great bait, particularly peeler crabs. Yes hopefully I'll get a few fish down at Porthcawl, I was hoping to fish it back in November but I just didn't get the chance, that's my favourite time of the year for down there. Cheers as always, have a good one! 👍👍

I also love the Penarth area, i fished it for years with penarth sea anglers and I won the open there many years ago. So I will look forward to that. I have been recovering from cancer over the last year and haven't been able to get the rods out , so its nice to see local marks. Have a great xmas and new year Gareth, good luck mate.

I bet you get some great sport down in Teignmouth where your boat is, such a good variety of species. Ah that's interesting, well done for winning the open, quite an achievement that! I've never really done much match fishing, I guess I'm more of a pleasure angler at heart but I can see the appeal. And the same to you bud, have a good one and I'm sure you'll continue to make good progress! All the best 👍👍
