Thank you Les, much appreciated. Yes, the bird life there is impressive, many different species inhabit the area, it's a great spot. Cheers for watching 👍
Thank you Dylan. Yes it was a beautiful day to be fair, the weather behaved for a change and it was great to see the chunky Conger. Lovely mark, very unique. Cheers bud, take it easy 👍😍
Glorious footage Gareth and congratulations on a fabulous fish. Really needed that video Gareth. My wife and I( she has recovered well from her stroke )had to rush over to Bristol from Ireland. Our new and only granddaughter decided to enter the world at just 25 weeks and weighing just a pound and a half. She is doing well thank goodness but so tiny. Your video has helped me get my mind together again , you are a blessing mate.
Thank you Jeff, it was a nice little session in fairness. It's a beautiful place, and it's just nice spending some time there. I'm pleased to hear that your wife recovered well from her stroke, that's good news. Ah 25 weeks is very premature isn't it, although I'm pleased to hear that she is doing well, that must be a relief for all of you, no doubt she'll be fine. Cheers as always, take care 👍
Another great video Gareth, awesome eel and defo about the 20lb mark. Fish was a present from dad after saying your rebuilding the cheapy old boat rod that you both have loved using. You never fail to make me smile on your videos so keep them coming mate and hopefully I’ll catch up with you sometime for a cheeky little sesh 🎣🎣🎣
Thank you Marc, appreciated as always. Yes you could be right there, it could well have been a gift from dad. Strange as it didn't fight like a conger and I was sure it was a big thornback. I do like catching congers, they've always been a part of my fishing life. Yes no doubt I will bump into you, I'm usually on a rock or a patch of mud somewhere ha! Cheers bud, enjoy the weekend 👍
Yeh I do like a good conger or 2 myself just got a VMO order of new line, leader and hooks so got to get out there. When I first seen the strike and the initial fight I thought a good eel then as it went on I then thought a huge thorny to be fair but well done mate great eel only had the one double off the beach but it was 20lb 10 so not to have 😂😂
Yes definitely, you get some chunky thornbacks off there. Good stuff, sounds like you're all set to go, excellent! Ha yes, that's a nice double, well done! There must be some monster Congers in the channel.
Thank you bud. It's such a beautiful mark, I can't really describe it but it makes you feel good. The big conger was a great bonus, what a lovely fish. Cheers as always, take care 👍
Thank you Jason, I appreciate it. I don't catch many fish in my videos and that's because of where I fish. And so I try to make a relaxing watch instead, I like showing the surroundings etc. Cheers 👍
What a beast of a conga mate, what a catch! What a video! Nice to meet you yesterday had a great convo and a awesome session, keep up the good work and hopefully see you on the bank again tight lines 👌🏻
Thank you bud, it was a nice little session in fairness, the weather was great and the conger was a lovely bonus. Yes it was nice to meet you too, good convo as you say! Well done on getting the Thornback, blank beaten and job done! No doubt I'll bump into you again, I'm always on the mud of Newport ha! Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍
Fair play Gareth that was a chunk of an eel! I was thinking that’s a going to be a ray when you were playing it as it was staying deep all the way in to the bank. Great video work of the area as well. Thanks for sharing fella.
Thank you Richie. Yes I thought exactly the same and I was shocked when I saw that big Conger head emerge from the water. Lovely mark isn't it, beautiful surroundings and you never quite know what fish are going to turn up! Cheers as always, take care 👍
Thank you Ronnie, that's nice of you to say. I enjoyed making this one, the sunrise was spot on and it was great to see the chunky conger. Cheers as always, take care 👍
Cracking eel from the shore Gareth! Well deserved! Time and time again you talk about the positive aspects of just being out fishing whether you catch or not. Nice to see you getting a reward!!! 👍
Thanks bud, much appreciated. Yes that's it, I just enjoy spending a few hours next to the water and any fish that turn up are a bonus. This mark is beautiful, it's just a nice place to be. Cheers for watching 👍
You're welcome Alex, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed this one, the weather was great, the wildlife was on good form and a nice bonus conger turned up! Cheers as always, you have a good one too 👍
Hi Gareth what a super video the scenery & content first class & what a fish you absolutely deserved it for the effort you put into your videos. great to see you have not lost the enthusiasm for catching the big ones thanks mate stunning.
Thank you Michael, much appreciated. It was great to be out there that day, the weather was on good form and the conger was a lovely bonus, given that the session was quiet up until then. Such a stunning mark, one of the prettiest I think. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍
Thank you Gary, that's nice of you to say, I appreciate it. Lovely mark isn't it, so picturesque and there's always something to see. Enjoy the weekend 👍
well done gareth nice conger that channel i am sure will produce one day a 40+ conger because they must be there . well done son keep those vids coming tight lines
Thanks bud, nice to hear from you again. I witnessed a 40lb conger being caught off Jackson's Bay in Barry. It was either 1991 or 1992, I remember it very well...a freezing cold night and we were catching lots of Whiting and Codling...great days! Cheers for watching, take care 👍
This is such a good video this time. Great photography, beautiful scenery. You mentioning about fixing up dad’s cheapy old boat rod makes me wish there was a video of you doing that. I’m sure your camera work and the way you express yourself would make as good a watch as Twoodfrd’s guitar videos.
Thank you Paul, appreciated as always. Things went well on this occasion, the weather behaved and I was able to get some nice scenery footage etc. Yes I'd need to work out the right camera settings for filming the rebuilding of the cheapy old boat rod and the lighting would need to be right. Not sure if I'd be any good at this type of video but something to work on and practice I guess. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍
Thank you Robert, I appreciate that. It was a great day in fairness, the weather was decent and the wildlife was on good form. Yes, dad would have liked that one, a nice chunk! Cheers for watching 👍

Thank you Philip. It's such a stunning mark and I always enjoy being there, any fish are a bonus. The conger was a great sight, about time I landed a decent one ha! Cheers for the continued support, have a good weekend 👍
Thank you Gary, nice of you to say. The weather was cracking to be honest, I enjoyed that session. A beautiful part of the world, it really is. Cheers for watching, appreciated as always 👍
Thank you Christopher, much appreciated. Yes I agree, I thought it was a ray myself, the usual Conger aggression just wasn't there, it was strange really. Enjoy the weekend 👍
Haha thanks Mick. I've lost a lot of big congers of late and so I was pleased to see this one on the bank! Yes definitely, no more lost fish with a bit of luck...although knowing me I'll lose a few 😂. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍
Thank you Matthew, appreciated as always. Yes let's hope so, things should hopefully start to pick up now, I'm looking forward to it. Hope you have a good season 👍
Cheers Gareth … well done mate absolutely cracking Conger. The cheapie old boat rod will give you many more years pleasure after you have restored it and will probably save a good few more blanks. Really enjoyed the video mate first class camera work. Thanks Gareth you take care mate 👍🎣🎣
Thank you Stephen, that's nice of you to say. It's a beautiful mark in fairness, the wildlife and scenery is quite special, there's always something to see. Ha yes, the cheapy old boat will no doubt do the business, it usually rescues me and saves the day!! Hope all is good with you mate, take care 👍
WOW!!! What a catch Gareth well done 👏 it makes up for All the missed bites due to your filming and camera work, which might I say is so professionally put together. As always another enjoyable watch. Thankyou 👍
Thank you Peter, I appreciate that, nice of you to say. Yes I certainly do miss a lot of bites ha...and so it was nice to land one for a change! It's a beautiful mark, just nice to spend some time there and take it all in. Cheers for watching 👍
Thank you Ed. Yes I was surprised to see such a chunk given that it's still early. I'm hoping to give Black Rock another go soon, I love that place. Cheers as always 👍
Hi Gareth lovely to see you back out again it's lovely to see that you have got your mo Jo back and looking well. What a cracking day lovely sun for a change and too top it of a cracking conger on the flat for change to get it in 😊 cracking video as always look forward to the next video ❤
Thank you Einsley, it was a great day in fairness. It's a beautiful place, there's always something to see and the wildlife is quite special. The congers like it there, there must be a food source for them. The guys who work in the docks nearby have spotted some monsters, 30lbs plus. Some nice Bass can also make an appearance, usually from late April onwards. Hope all is good with you bud, have a good weekend 👍
Gareth, another great video,fantastic cinematography keep them coming, love your content,as you say catch or not just good to be in the outdoors doing something you love.
Thank you Ray, much appreciated. Yes that's right, just nice being out there isn't it, spending a few hours next to the water. I love this mark, the surroundings are special. Cheers for watching 👍

Thank you Nathan, I was pleased with that one and yes, I'm still buzzing ha! It was a great day in fairness, the weather was on good form and so was the wildlife. Cheers as always...tight lines! 👍
Thanks Andy. Yes I thought the same, it wasn't fighting like a Conger, much more ray-like, strange really. Glad you liked the music, it matched the venue I think. Cheers 👍
WOWWWWWW....... what a beast of a conger Gareth. Well done mate 👏 you deserved that one. Looked a great location you were fishing. Really nice scenery and great editing Gareth. Brilliant video. Keep em coming 👍
Thank you Neil. It was a great day in fairness, the weather was glorious, the birds were on top form and the chunky Conger was a great sight, I couldn't really complain. As you say, it's a beautiful mark, something very unique about it. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍

Thank you Kevin, nice of you to say. Yes that sunrise was beautiful, they're often special down there. I love this mark, it's very mysterious and you never quite know what's going to turn up. Cheers for watching, take care 👍
Well done Gareth, extremely well put together video, must say I appreciate the balance between fishing and wellness. Nice eel. Keep up the great broadcasting.
Thank you David, much appreciated. Yes, the surroundings/wildlife are very much a part of my day's fishing, hence why I like to show the scenery stuff. I don't catch many fish in my videos and so I try to make a relaxing watch instead. Cheers 👍
Thank you Nic, I appreciate it. Yes I enjoyed the session in fairness, the weather was spot on and the conger was a great bonus! Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍

Thank you John, I appreciate it. Ah yes, I used to love the John Wilson programmes, he was my favourite. I actually met him, he was doing a talk at a local establishment, that was probably back in the mid 90s, it was a good night. Cheers for watching 👍

Thank you Nigel. Yes it was a glorious day and when I arrived, the dawn chorus and sunrise were both very impressive. The conger was a nice surprise, you get some monsters there, they seem to like the shallow mud flats. Hope all is good with you bud, enjoy the weekend! 👍
Thank you Paul, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It was a great day in fairness, the weather was spot on and the chunky conger was a great sight, I couldn't grumble. Hope all is good with you...cheers 👍
Gareth, have to say how much I love your films, as these aren't merely videos, they're works of art, obviously crafted with fantastic use of music, great camerawork, a nice bit of fishing and of course your relaxing accent and enthusiasm. Learning so much and hoping for fewer blanks in future. Cheers, great to see so many great fish.
Thank you Andy, much appreciated. I've been busy of late, hence no recent videos but hopefully more to come soon with a bit of luck. Cheers for watching 👍
Gareth….. these are great videos. I came across them by chance and you have re-ignited my love of sea fishing after near 50 years leaving my childhood in Plymouth. Ive started to go with my two grown up lads. We don’t catch much but we are getting better ! But it’s the time we are having together that is food for the soul. Thank you and please keep going 👍👍
Thank you Mark, much appreciated. I'm pleased you're enjoying the videos, hopefully more to come soon. Yes that's what it's all about, spending quality time next to the water and with the important people in your life, the fish are just a bonus. I don't catch that many fish nowadays but still love being out there. Cheers for watching 👍
Wow mate, that’s an amazing fish, nice to see a decent conger in the area, let’s hope the fishing picks up from now, anyway well deserved catch and thanks for your time and effort with these videos (Shaun) from just outside Newport 👍
Thank you Shaun, much appreciated. It was great to see that Conger, they do seem to like that area. Yes that's it, things should start to pick up now, the Bass can't be too far away! Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍
Thanks Keith, I remember this day very well. You get some monsters here, they seem to like the shallow mud flats. Another lovely spot, just a pleasure being there. Cheers for watching 👍
Haha thank you Mike. I've dropped a few good ones in recent months and so it was nice to land this one! I thought it was a big Thornback as it stayed deep but I guess you can never quite tell. Cheers as always 👍
Thank you Patricia, it was a beautiful morning, such a stunning mark. It should pick up there come late April. Thank you, hope you have a good one too! Take care 👍
Thank you John, appreciated as always. Cracking morning in fairness, the weather was spot on, I couldn't grumble. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍
Thank you Paul, appreciated as always. It was a lovely day in fairness, the weather was superb and it was great to see the chunky Conger. Cheers for watching 👍
I'm sat watching your posts on you tube thinking how much I used to enjoy fishing the beaches of the north east with the home made monapod my father made me while he worked at British steelmy biggest from the beach was a twelve pound cod but I'm neatly 70 now so can't do it anymore just enjoy watching your posts
Sounds like you have some good memories James, the beaches of the north east have always appealed to me, I must give one of them a go one day. I bet that homemade monopod stood the test of time, especially as it was made by your father. Thank you for watching, much appreciated 👍
Fishing the north sea we needed to wait till we had heavy frost on the ground before that would be a waste as soon as we cast out as the crabs would pick your hooks clean within minutes
Thank you Chris. Yes it was a nice little chunk in fairness, you do get some good ones off there. I'll certainly remember it for a very long time! Cheers as always, much appreciated 👍
Thank you Andy. A beautiful day wasn't it, the sunrise was particularly impressive and the big conger was a nice bonus. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍
Thank you Michael. I've lost some good ones of late and so it was nice to land this one! Lovely mark this one, something unique about the place. Cheers for watching 👍
Thank you Al, it was great to catch that chunk! I love this mark, such a beautiful place, stunning. I'm good thanks, hope all is good with you. Cheers 👍
Thanks Gareth, it was nice to land one for a change ha! Oh yes, that walk is a killer, especially after heavy rain when it's boggy! Hope all is well, tight lines! 👍
Thank you Gordon, appreciated as always. Yes it's a beautiful spot there, something very unique about the place, one of my favourites. Cheers for watching 👍
Yet another tonic - great video and a cracking fish too. Looking forward to seeing your next video. Keep em coming 👌👌

I'm not sure to be honest Paul, the RUclips algorithm is impossible to understand. Some say it does, some say it doesn't...one of life's mysteries ha!
WOW!!! What a catch Gareth well done 👏 it makes up for All the missed bites due to your filming and camera work, which might I say is so professionally put together.
As always another enjoyable watch. Thankyou 👍
Thank you Peter, I appreciate that, nice of you to say. Yes I certainly do miss a lot of bites ha...and so it was nice to land one for a change! It's a beautiful mark, just nice to spend some time there and take it all in. Cheers for watching 👍
Another great video and a cracking Conger especially for so early in the year, well done
Thank you Ed. Yes I was surprised to see such a chunk given that it's still early. I'm hoping to give Black Rock another go soon, I love that place. Cheers as always 👍
Hi Gareth lovely to see you back out again it's lovely to see that you have got your mo Jo back and looking well. What a cracking day lovely sun for a change and too top it of a cracking conger on the flat for change to get it in 😊 cracking video as always look forward to the next video ❤
Thank you Einsley, it was a great day in fairness. It's a beautiful place, there's always something to see and the wildlife is quite special. The congers like it there, there must be a food source for them. The guys who work in the docks nearby have spotted some monsters, 30lbs plus. Some nice Bass can also make an appearance, usually from late April onwards. Hope all is good with you bud, have a good weekend 👍

Well done Gareth, extremely well put together video, must say I appreciate the balance between fishing and wellness. Nice eel. Keep up the great broadcasting.
Thank you David, much appreciated. Yes, the surroundings/wildlife are very much a part of my day's fishing, hence why I like to show the scenery stuff. I don't catch many fish in my videos and so I try to make a relaxing watch instead. Cheers 👍
Well done Gareth, what a beautiful conger! Loved the video.

Awesome production mate, just the way you do things reminds me of my childhood sat watching John Wilsons go fishing 😊
You gid say early on one bite one fish, and what a beauty. Brilliant Gareth 💪🎣🎣 🐍
Thank you John, I appreciate it. Ah yes, I used to love the John Wilson programmes, he was my favourite. I actually met him, he was doing a talk at a local establishment, that was probably back in the mid 90s, it was a good night. Cheers for watching 👍
Great video again Gareth. So great to see you doing so well and enjoying your fishing.
Thank you David, nice to hear from you again. Yes I enjoyed this one, it's such a beautiful mark, it really is. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍

Cracking video that Gareth,

Very nice conger that pal well done that will fuel your enthusiasm for a while,
It’s certainly fuelled mine
Thanks for that 👍
Thank you Nigel. Yes it was a glorious day and when I arrived, the dawn chorus and sunrise were both very impressive. The conger was a nice surprise, you get some monsters there, they seem to like the shallow mud flats. Hope all is good with you bud, enjoy the weekend! 👍
Best fishing channel by a million miles, keep up the amazing work Gareth.
Ah thank you bud, that's nice of you to say. Although my channel isn't the best ha, but I'm glad you enjoy the videos. Have a good weekend 👍

Thank you Paul, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It was a great day in fairness, the weather was spot on and the chunky conger was a great sight, I couldn't grumble. Hope all is good with you...cheers 👍
Gareth, have to say how much I love your films, as these aren't merely videos, they're works of art, obviously crafted with fantastic use of music, great camerawork, a nice bit of fishing and of course your relaxing accent and enthusiasm. Learning so much and hoping for fewer blanks in future. Cheers, great to see so many great fish.
Thank you Andy, much appreciated. I've been busy of late, hence no recent videos but hopefully more to come soon with a bit of luck. Cheers for watching 👍
Gareth….. these are great videos. I came across them by chance and you have re-ignited my love of sea fishing after near 50 years leaving my childhood in Plymouth. Ive started to go with my two grown up lads. We don’t catch much but we are getting better ! But it’s the time we are having together that is food for the soul. Thank you and please keep going 👍👍
Thank you Mark, much appreciated. I'm pleased you're enjoying the videos, hopefully more to come soon. Yes that's what it's all about, spending quality time next to the water and with the important people in your life, the fish are just a bonus. I don't catch that many fish nowadays but still love being out there. Cheers for watching 👍
Wow mate, that’s an amazing fish, nice to see a decent conger in the area, let’s hope the fishing picks up from now, anyway well deserved catch and thanks for your time and effort with these videos (Shaun) from just outside Newport 👍
Thank you Shaun, much appreciated. It was great to see that Conger, they do seem to like that area. Yes that's it, things should start to pick up now, the Bass can't be too far away! Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍
Excellent video Gareth. Congrats on the conger mate. Tight lines and take care.
Thank you Nick. I enjoyed that session, the weather was spot on and the conger was a nice surprise. Enjoy the weekend 👍
What a cracking fish.

Very generous of you Jon, as always. Thank you, it was a lovely fish, I'll remember it for a long time 👍
20lb all day long Gareth . Brilliant catch and well deserved . Tight lines mate
Thanks Keith, I remember this day very well. You get some monsters here, they seem to like the shallow mud flats. Another lovely spot, just a pleasure being there. Cheers for watching 👍
Awesome ..Captain Conger strikes again !!! thats a cracking eel from the shore .... well done Gareth
Haha thank you Mike. I've dropped a few good ones in recent months and so it was nice to land this one! I thought it was a big Thornback as it stayed deep but I guess you can never quite tell. Cheers as always 👍
Holy Mackerel, well done on the conger. Congratulations from Ireland.
Thank you Keith, much appreciated. Nice fish in fairness and I was grateful that it saved the blank ha! Cheers for watching 👍
Well done Gareth, well deserved. What a great video 👍👍🎣🎣.

Brilliant to watch best fishing channel by far well done Gareth what a fish
Absolutely fantastic to see GA out fishing and twice this week. Cracking fish brother love and respect as always. ( Belfast )
Thank you John, appreciated as always. Cracking morning in fairness, the weather was spot on, I couldn't grumble. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍
Well done Gareth, very nice fish, good to see you back fishing and videoing. Looking forward to the next ones 👍
Thank you Paul, appreciated as always. It was a lovely day in fairness, the weather was superb and it was great to see the chunky Conger. Cheers for watching 👍
I'm sat watching your posts on you tube thinking how much I used to enjoy fishing the beaches of the north east with the home made monapod my father made me while he worked at British steelmy biggest from the beach was a twelve pound cod but I'm neatly 70 now so can't do it anymore just enjoy watching your posts
Sounds like you have some good memories James, the beaches of the north east have always appealed to me, I must give one of them a go one day. I bet that homemade monopod stood the test of time, especially as it was made by your father. Thank you for watching, much appreciated 👍
Fishing the north sea we needed to wait till we had heavy frost on the ground before that would be a waste as soon as we cast out as the crabs would pick your hooks clean within minutes
Woohoo Gareth, what a cracking shore Conger, even I got exited about that. Great video mate, making lasting memories.
Thanks for what you do.
Thank you Chris. Yes it was a nice little chunk in fairness, you do get some good ones off there. I'll certainly remember it for a very long time! Cheers as always, much appreciated 👍
What a cracking fish Gareth and well deserved. Great photography, music and scenery and what a lovely day. Looking forward to the next one.👍👍
Thank you Andy. A beautiful day wasn't it, the sunrise was particularly impressive and the big conger was a nice bonus. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍
Very, very well done!
Thank you bud, I appreciate it. About time I landed a decent one ha! Cheers 👍
@@riversidewithme Hey Gareth, does engagement feed the algorithm to grow your channel?
Great watch……. The pure joy and relief of landing that was something all anglers can relate to and a joy to watch👍🏼
Thank you Michael. I've lost some good ones of late and so it was nice to land this one! Lovely mark this one, something unique about the place. Cheers for watching 👍
Another superb video, beauty of a conger, love the enthusiasm 👍🎣
Thank you Graham. It was an enjoyable session in fairness, the weather was spot on and the chunky Conger was a nice bonus. Cheers 👍

Thank you Nigel, it was a great day out at one of my favourite spots, nice bonus Conger too! Cheers for watching, much 👍
That one makes up for the one you just failed to get in at last years visit. That walk does me in though! Well done.
Thanks Gareth, it was nice to land one for a change ha! Oh yes, that walk is a killer, especially after heavy rain when it's boggy! Hope all is well, tight lines! 👍
Nice video Gar 🐟👏👍

A really well deserved big fish Gareth! Great video as usual with great photography and content. Best regards. Gordon.
