Thanks
Great video again Gareth. Lovely mixed bag of fish. Great place to fish Brixham 🐟 👌 👍
Thank you Neil, appreciated as always. Challenging weather but I managed to get a few sessions in and it was very enjoyable. I love it down there, it's like an aquarium! Cheers for watching 👍👍
Good to see you again Gareth and another great watch 👍
Thank you Matt, much appreciated. Likewise, I always enjoy having a chat with you and your dad in the shop...was good to see him looking well after the recent scare. Hopefully see you in January, have a good weekend 👍👍
Great to meet up again Gareth ,glad you had a good time appart from the weather , great video and all the best from graham at brixham bait and tackle
Thank you Graham, much appreciated. I enjoyed chatting to you in the shop and I was pleased to see you looking well after your recent scare...you'll be back in that boat before you know it and you can show the rest of us how it's done! Hoping to be back down in January with a bit of luck. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍
Last year I went to whitby for a late fishing holiday but I have watched a couple of your South Devon shows and you are really selling it to me
Just such nice videos! Really enjoy them, great commentary, and I was well jealous of those big mackerel. Great to catch them singularly on the lure. Super stuff!
Thank you Colin, much appreciated. Yes I remember catching those Mackerel on the metal lure, it seems like yesterday! Cheers for watching 👍
Nice mackerel! Thank you!
Thank you Johnny. They certainly were, although the camera didn't do them justice to be honest. Good fun, nice to get a variety of species. Have a good weekend 👍👍
so jealous mate love brixham summer or winter . You never know what will turn up in that clear deep water . try in front of the university building off the rock mark esp in the night for a biggy conger . great vid as always gareth and i know fishing the bristol channel but the clear deep brixham water always gets me going SOMETHING DIFFERENT as we say
Thank you Barry. Yeah I love Brixham, been going there for years now and if I had the money I'd be down there every month ha! That's it, so many different species, there's fish everywhere, teeming with life. I'll give that spot a try then for the big Congers, hopefully be back down there in January. A welcome change from the muddy waters of the Bristol Channel and nice to see some different species. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Another fantastic video in a beautiful setting. Can't wait for the next one.
Thank you Nigel, much appreciated. Yeah I love it down there, will hopefully go back in January. Nice to see a good variety of species. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Excellent the whole thing, fishing, filming, awesome production, thanks for sharing, just what I needed. Tight lines.
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. The weather made it a little tricky but I just about managed to get enough footage and I enjoyed it. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍
What beautiful scenery.
Thanks Robert, it certainly is a beautiful part of the world. I'm hoping to be back down there this Autumn, for a little break. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Great vid again , lovely part of the world there, fair play , you fish through the weather , it must me job to keep the camera going😂👍👍👍👍 keep them coming
Thank you Neil, appreciated as always
Yeah I love Brixham and the fishing always throws up a few surprises. The weather was terrible and it was hard work trying to keep the camera still in that wind ha! Hopefully more to come soon, have a good weekend 👍👍
Good effort. A great spot Brixham. I enjoyed watching, especially the float fishing at the end. 🎣 thanks
You're welcome Carl, glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah I loved that bit of float fishing at the end, had a bite every cast and I lost a cracking Wrasse, a good few pounds it was. It's just black with fish and it's good to see. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hi Gareth, very enjoyable video ,nice selection of species .Looking forward to the next video already.All the best.
Thank you David, glad you enjoyed the video. Weather was a little challenging but it was still an enjoyable week and nice to see a variety of species on the lighter tackle. Thank you also for becoming a channel member, very much appreciated! Cheers 👍👍
I’ve been watching your videos. I used to go fishing with my late dad and uncles in the sixties. We mostly went to Rhossili on the gower, either worms head or the ledges. The bass fishing was very good then. Later on I worked on a farm and spotted trout jumping on the rumney river which by then had cleaned up a lot. I had great fun spinning for them. I am now 72 in quite good health and watching your great videos has made me want to take up fishing again. Keep them coming!
😢
Thank you Ronald, I'm pleased to hear that you're thinking of taking up fishing again, that's good to hear. Sounds like you have some great memories of fishing with your dad and uncles in the sixties, bet there were loads of fish in the sea back then! I've never fished the rumney river although I do my fish my local river for Brown Trout between March and September. Fishing is in my blood, dad first took me when I was five and I've been hooked ever since, I guess you could say it's my drug of choice. Cheers for watching, hopefully more to come soon 👍👍
Cracking video again pleasure to watch nd to vstch a selection of fish what better
Thank you Geraint, much appreciated. Yeah it was very enjoyable to be fair, weather was terrible but was great to see so many different species, wish I could have stayed longer. Cheers for watching, have a great weekend 👍👍
Yet another great put together vid,love Brixham as much for the grub as the fishing.
Fishermans breakfast in a harbour cafe,nice session at breakwater
Meant to say then whale jumbo cod at the chippy at the boat houses with restaurant upstsirs biggest cod i ever had 3 inchs over each plate side easy yum.
Used to rent little fishermans cottage just up hill,remember once at your mark i live baited a pouting got me a 4 to 5 lb bass and as i reeled in about 5 feet away a conger about 15lb took it so i only had head and gills.
Had some good pollock there as well around 10lb keep it up your vids make my evening very comfy take care mate
Thank you Michael, appreciated as always. Yeah the fishing is great down there isn't it, so many fish in the water, great to see. Sounds like you've had some good fish down there yourself with the Conger and Pollock, can't fault it! I know the restaurant you are talking about, I was in there last week and had a breakfast bap and hot chocolate ha! I'm hoping to go down again in January with a bit of luck, see what's about then. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍
Love brixham, cant wait to get back down in May. Fishing always amazing. Great video
Thanks Nicholas. Me too, it's one of my favourite places. I'm down there next weekend for the brother in law's birthday and I'll try and fit in a sneaky session. May will soon come around, not long to wait. Cheers 👍👍
Thanks Gareth. Another really well produced vidio, your work is going strength to strength. Very good watch
Thank you Wayne, that's nice of you to say. The weather was a little challenging but I managed to get enough footage and it was great to see so many species, can't wait to go back. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
As a fresh water angler at heart .I always enjoyed float fishing off the rocks catching wrasse and spinning for hard fighting mackerel when I was younger .
Enjoyed that video it brought back good memories of time spent nr westbay in Dorset. Many thanks
Thank you Russell, pleased to hear that the video brought back some good memories for you. Yeah it was great fun on the spinning rod in fairness, those Mackerel were putting a proper bend in the rod, good size. And those Wrasse, well they're just so powerful, I actually lost a really nice one right at the end. I do a bit of freshwater fishing myself, will hopefully be fishing my local river next week for the Dace and Chub. Cheers for watching 👍👍
was there today on holiday - wonderful
That's great, hope you enjoyed it! I love Brixham, will hopefully be back down there in January. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Love it Gareth, welcome to my neck of the woods mate, keep up coming mate
Thank you mate, appreciated as always. Yes I love it down that way and the fishing is so much better than where I live. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Absolutely brilliant definitely having a go on the float next time Gareth 👌
Thank you Anthony. Yeah the float fishing was great fun, had a bite every single cast and got snapped off by something big! Looking forward to going back. You can pay for us to go in December or January! Cheers 👍👍
pleanty of diffrent species garath great watch as alwayes mate great fun on light tackle as well pleanty of fish as well mate alwayes look forward to the next vidio mate
had a couple of codling down penarth last week around the 2 pound mark and nice two catch some fresh bait mate
Thank you Andrew, appreciated as always. Yeah it was great to see so many different species and a nice change to use the lighter gear. The water down there is black with fish, teeming with life and it's good to see. Well done on the Penarth Codling, nice to know there's a few about, hopefully their numbers will increase during the coming weeks. Cheers mate, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Nice one mate. It doesn't rain that much in Wales lol keep up the good work from Reynolds Fishing uk
Haha cheers Rich, hope all is good with you. An enjoyable week and nice to see a good variety of species, l'm looking forward to going back. Thanks as always mate 👍👍
Hi Gareth ... Really enjoyed the video, Brixham looks like a lovely spot to spend a few days. Float fishing for Wrasse is good fun they put up such a good scrap and bites can be pretty savage and the colours can be stunning, love them. Well done putting together a quality video in challenging conditions can’t be easy but to coin a phrase it’s Mega appreciated ... thanks for sharing and take care 👍🎣🎣
Thank you Stephen, pleased to hear you enjoyed the video. Yeah Brixham is a fabulous place to fish, teeming with life, fish everywhere and that's rare to see these days. Those Wrasse certainly do give a good account of themselves, I lost a cracker as it snapped me off. Stunning colours, every one is different, like something from the tropics. Wish I was still there but will probably be January now, hoping to have a week down there providing the prices are not too steep. Cheers as always, have a good weekend mate 👍👍
Great video Gareth, enjoy your holiday 👍
Thank you Paul, much appreciated. I'm hoping to go back in January, see what's about then. Great place to fish, it really is. Have a good weekend 👍👍
Fished it a lot in the 70s and 80s there used to be some big mackerel then, even saw someone hook a shark on float gear. Nice memories seeing you fish it.
Glad you enjoyed the video Derek, I bet you have some great memories of when you fished it in the 70s and 80s. The fishing at Brixham is so much more productive than it is where I live, always look forward to going back. Cheers for watching 👍👍
@@riversidewithme I live in Australia now but still use the same techniques as in Brixham. Fishing is a bit better out here. Keep up the good films.
Great vid Gareth. Plenty of fish to keep you and us entertained. Mackerel fishing is great with light gear. Give you some proper scraps. Look forward to the next one
Thank you Alex, hope you're well. Yeah was great to see so many different species, there are fish everywhere down there, teeming with life. I've had at least 70/80 sessions down there over the years and I've never blanked, unbelievable. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
Hello Gareth, I really enjoyed watching the video, great opening shots and some very good fishing. Loved the float fishing and the quality of the fish. Shame about the rain but its all in the game as we all know when out fishimg. Brixham is a place I would really like to visit and maybe a short break next year might be on the cards. Keep up the great videos, cheers all the best.
Thank you Rob, appreciated as always. Yeah the weather was hard work to be honest but I still enjoyed the fishing, nice week away. It's like a different world down there, the water is constantly black with fish, it's teeming with life and it's impossible to blank, literally! If you get the chance then give it a go, it's great fun. I like to use my beachcasters at night and use the lighter gear during the daytime. When I was float fishing at the end, I was getting bites within seconds of the bait hitting the water. I also got snapped off by a big Wrasse and I was using a 10lb snood! Wish I was still down there to honest but there we are. Hope all is good with you. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍
What a special video Gareth, well done 👍🏽
Thank you Morgan, much appreciated. It's amazing down there, fish everywhere, great to see. Hope all is good with you. Cheers 👍👍
what a great video gareth , well done on getting a bit of fishing in too mate . hope you all enjoyed the break chap see you soon gareth take care on them rocks
Cheers Tone. Yes we had a nice week thanks and the fishing was great fun as per usual, the water is black with fish, great to see...I wish I was still down there to be honest ha! Hope all is good with you and the wife, I'm looking forward to watching your latest video this evening. Enjoy the weekend mate 👍👍
Great video gareth,beautiful part of Devon, I fished the Kingsbridge comp when you was in Brixham with the weather you had there, never seen rain like it and the wind awful conditions.
Thank you Paul, appreciated as always. Yes that weather was challenging to say the least, I just about managed to get enough footage ha! A nice variety of species, I enjoyed it, it's like an aquarium down there. How did you get on in the comp??
@@riversidewithme two small bass and one flounder not the best of conditions gareth.but enjoyed the weekend fishing 12 hours Saturday and Sunday 6am -6pm.
@@paulbendle4905 Good stuff. You braved the weather and got a few fish too, can't fault it. Hopefully the weather will settle down soon, a few days of calmness will do nicely.
Fair play buddy another great video specially for the weather keep them up buddy love it tight lines.🐟🐟👍
Thank you Benjamin, appreciated as always. Yeah that weather was terrible, I had my camera tripod pinned down with 7oz leads as it was blowing over ha! I love it down there, fishing is always good. Cheers, have a good weekend 👍👍
Awesome buddy thanks for taken us along✌ that Seal footage was cool, plenty of action, good stuff, stay safe Gareth buddy, love to Cath for letting you fish on holiday 🙂👍👍
Cheers Matt. The water down there is black with fish, teeming with life and it's great to see. I enjoyed using the lighter gear for a change, good fun. Ha yeah, she don't mind in fairness, good as gold. Hope all good with you, looking forward to your next video. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Great video again Gareth. Don't worry about the rain on the camera lens it made me feel like I was there!
Thank you David, appreciated as always. Ha, glad you said that, I was trying to keep the camera lens dry but it was impossible, nasty bit of weather but good fun at the same time. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Great vid Gareth some good fish

Thank you Kevin. Yeah it's a great place to fish, the water is always black with fish and you never quite know what you'll catch next. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍
Great video again Gareth some great shots and some nice fish 🐟 👍 👌
Thanks Leighton. I love fishing down there, fish everywhere, it's like an aquarium. Challenging weather but managed to get enough footage, was an enjoyable week. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
Hi gareth mate yet again another cracking video...thoroughly enjoyed watching you catch different species whilst using different tactics..look forward to watching the next video mate keep up the good work
Thank you Nathan, appreciated as always mate. Yeah it was nice to see lots of different species, so many fish down there, it's a different world. I enjoyed using the lighter gear for a change. I'm hoping to go back down in January with a bit of luck. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Have a lovely weekend too mate
Nice one again Gareth Thankyou
Thank you Ronnie, nice to hear from you again. An enjoyable week in fairness, nice to see a variety of species. Cheers, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Nice video Gareth,
Well done on braving the weather and you were rewarded with a good few species there, nice one
All the best pal 🎣🎣🎣
Thank you Nigel, hope all is good with you. Yeah the weather was terrible to be honest but I still enjoyed it and was great to see so many species. The water down there is stuffed with fish, they're everywhere and it's good to see. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
Great video mate and a great little species hunt you went on. Always nice to pull out the light gear for some fun.
Well done mate. Hope you have a good weekend. 👍🏻
Thank you Matt. Yeah the water down there is black with fish, it's like an aquarium, so many different species, good to see. Nice change to use the lighter gear as you say, I love the beachcasting but there is something nice about watching that float go under. I'm hoping to go back down there in January. Cheers mate, same to you 👍👍
Present surprise just got in from a few hours at aberthaw,looks like a hurricane has just ripped the place apart,another blankety blank,glad you’ve had some fun ,cracking video as I said it was a present suprise 🎉
Unlucky on the Aberthaw blank Andrew, I haven't fish there for a year or so, need to give it another go soon. Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. Weather wasn't great but was still good fun, lots of different species. Different world down there, fish everywhere, it's mad. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
What a great video, loads of different methods, loads of different species. You took on the weather, and you won buddy. Really enjoyable watch Gareth 👍👍🎣🎣🙏🙏
Cheers Dylan. Yeah it was good fun to be honest, the water down there is black with fish, great to see...wish it was like that back home ha! A nasty bit of weather but managed to get a few sessions in, will hopefully be back down there in January. Thanks for watching bud, hope you've had a good weekend 👍👍
You literally could not have timed this video any better Gareth. My boy and myself arrived today for the weekend and heading for the breakwater in the morning.
Good luck tomorrow Wayne, I'm confident that you'll catch a few, there were loads of fish about last week and so many different species which was good to see. I'd be interested to know how you get on. Thank you for the donation, no need but much appreciated. Tight lines, enjoy! 👍👍
@@riversidewithme Your very welcome as always Gareth. Really enjoyed the video as always and, as I said perfect timing. We did get a couple of hours on Torquay pier this afternoon and had a couple of ballans on ul gear but making a full day of it tomorrow.
@@waynehiggs7335 I like Torquay, although I haven't fished off that pier for a number of years, used to enjoy it. I'll probably be on the mud tomorrow, although I wish I was still in Brixham ha!
Had family live there for years, love the place.
Me too mate, if I had the money I'd be down there all of the time. Must have been handy having family down there, free holidays and all that. Cheers 👍👍
@@riversidewithme it was great defo, I've had some great fish from around there, the congers that use to be there were enormous,
Great effort as always
Thanks Stu. Challenging weather but enjoyable all the same, nice to see some different species. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme cheers buddy, you too
Nice video Gareth, amazing with that seal footage chasing that fish in 😂.the weather was challenging mate but still great watch, appreciate you efforts bud 🎣🎣
Thanks mate, appreciated as always. Ha yeah, that weather was hard work but thankfully I managed to get enough footage together. Nice variety of species and good fun on the lighter gear. The seal missed my fish on this occasion but I'm sure it will get me back next time! Cheers for watching 👍👍
@@riversidewithme your welcome mate
Yay your in the bay 😊
One of my favourite places, first time since January, been a while ha. Thanks as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme enjoy your weekend too we are very lucky to live here
@@missmoolay3135 Thank you. Yes, I'm very jealous ha! Wish I lived closer, I'd be down all the time.
Nice one Gareth, always look forward to the vids. Weather is looking rough next week, but we,ll be out there battling the elements. All the best.👍
Thank you mate, much appreciated. Yeah that's the way, brave those elements and hopefully you'll be rewarded with some nice fish. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Love the videos mate. Can sit and watch them all day please keep up the fantastic work buddy 🎣🎣🎣
Thanks mate, appreciated as always. It's a different world down there, the water is black with fish, literally. Challenging weather but an enjoyable week, can't wait to bo back! Cheers for watching, have a good week 👍👍
It looks beautiful down there will definitely keep this in mind for when I next go on holiday. Hope you also have a great week 🎣🎣
Great video, Gareth, like the variety, well done.
Thanks mate, appreciated as always. An enjoyable week and I can't wait to go back. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Great vid Gareth, calming and enjoyable. Great selection of species and nice to see you rewarded for your efforts in very challenging weather.
Looks like you hit the refresh button and enjoyed yourself 👍
Well done mate. See you on the next adventure! 🎣🙂👍
Thank you Matt. The weather was terrible to be honest but I still enjoyed it, great to see so many species. It's a different world down there, the water is literally black with fish and whether float fishing or bottom fishing, it's instant action every cast, you kinda need to experience it to believe it, impossible to blank. When I was spinning for the Mackerel the water in front of me was boiling with baitfish and sandeel, amazing to see. Nothing huge last week but it's a case of getting through the smaller fish, although they kept the rods tips busy and that was fine with me. I got snapped off whilst float fishing, lovely Wrasse it was, such a strong fish. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always and have a good weekend mate 👍👍
Was down the breakwater a few weeks ago, the fishing was terrible, tiny pollack and garfish, didn't see a single mackerel caught all week, but I did manage a couple of nice bass on the soft plastics, fished further up from where you were though.
Well done on the Bass Rob, I've only ever caught small ones off the breakwater, although I have spotted some nice ones in the marina. Some lovely Mackerel about when I was there last week, the camera didn't do them justice to be honest. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍👍
That was a great session Gareth with a variety of species and a good number of them too. I'm going to have to put Brixham on my bucket list! I was interested to see your garfish which is a little different to the ones here. The garfish there look like their upper and lower beaks are roughly the same length whereas the species here have a very short upper beak only about 10mm long and the lower beak maybe 75 mm depending on size of course. Love seeing the white swans there as ours are mainly black. Once again, I'll look forward to your next video.
Thank you David, hope all is good with you. Yeah you need to give Brixham a go, so many different species and the water at times is black with fish. Sounds crazy but it's impossible to blank, bites within seconds, bit different to the Bristol Channel ha! Interesting, I will have to look up the Australian Garfish, can't ever recall seeing one. The swans were on good form, although they never used to be there, arrived a few years ago and they've decided to stay by the look of it! One day of good weather and the remainder of the week was shocking but I managed to squeeze in a few sessions. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme All good with me thanks Gareth. Hope it's the same with you. I don't need anymore convincing re Brixham lol. Having had a look at your garfish more closely on Google, it looks like they can potentially grow bigger than here. Beak not included, the species here don't get much bigger than 12 inches. I love catching garfish and they are probably my go to fish for eating although, they are so hard to fillet with all the small bones. I tend to buy them from a fish monger and release the ones I catch so there is less waste. For me, it doesn't really matter about the weather. The important thing is to get out by the sea and dangle a line. Hope your weekend is good too.
@@davidwilliams6525 Yes they taste fantastic in fairness. The ones I caught last week were a bit on the small side and so I returned them but I have taken a couple of the bigger ones in the past, few tricky bones as you say! Yeah definitely, just go for it regardless of the weather, the forecast is so inaccurate these days anyway. Thank you, might do a bit of fishing tonight and have a quiet day tomorrow! 👍👍
Nice video! Fond memories of Brixham on the breakwater and at Berryhead. Now living overseas where the fishing is harder and beach fishing is near impossible due to Atlantic storm beaches, but then, it does have its benefits 🙂
Thank you mate, much appreciated. Great place isn't it, I always look forward to going back. Sounds like you have some great memories yourself. Ah yes I can imagine that's it's a little difficult to cast into those big Atlantic waves, a bit different to over here! Although I suspect you get some good fish close in, coming in on those breakers... benefits as you say. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Nicely done mate and was nice to have a chat with you down there keep up the great vids 👍
Thanks mate, much appreciated. Likewise, always nice to have a chat on the breakwater, especially when I'm on my own in the dark ha! Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍
Been waiting for this one , had an amazing two weeks in Brixham in the summer mate 👍 and I fished your spot where you are , had a lot of pollock wrasse and pout , was early for the whiting 👍
Good stuff Andrew, sounds like you had some great fishing during your two weeks! I think I remember you telling me about it actually. I love Brixham, wish I lived a little closer, I'd be fishing all the time ha! Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme yes mate I was telling you I was going , fishing wasn’t the best when I went , lots of small stuff and some cracking mackerel 👍
Great video again Gareth an fairplay to u battling the elements nice variety mate look forward to the next keep it up
Thank you Chad. Yeah the weather was shocking but thankfully the fishing was good. The water down there is always black with fish, teeming with life, great to see, never know what could turn up. Some nice Bass were caught on the breakwater that week too, a bit further up on lures. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍👍
@@riversidewithme glad you had a good time mate no problem look forward to the next take care tight lines mate
@@valleyfishinghuntinguk3921 Thanks bud 👍
Hi Gareth yet another great video.
Keep it up mate. Only one thing parking at the harbour car park..
Keep your TICKET..for future proof of paying..in case you receive a fine for parking.???
A few weeks later.?? Hotel owner warned me about this ..apparently it happens regularly..
All the best for the future ..regards the. Bedwas blanker ..
Thank you Wayne, hope all is good with you. I love it down there, water is teeming with life, good to see. Hopefully back down there in January. Thanks for the heads up in relation to the parking situation, I will certainly bear that in mind! Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Another top video mate, really enjoyed 👍🏻 its nice fishing somewhere else other than local although i know youve fished brixham quite a few times. Im going to try brighton after the plaice in Febuary for the 1st time, cant wait. You should try there. There seems to be loads of them off the beach. All the best Gar and look forward to the next one 👍🏻
Cheers Scott, hope all is good with you. Yeah that's it, always nice to have a change and fish somewhere different. If you get the the chance, give Brixham a go, the water is black with fish, it's like an aquarium. Sounds good, you'll probably get into those Plaice down at Brighton, does to seem to be good for them down that way, need to give it a go myself. One of the Gower marks I fish down at Three Cliffs Bay usually produces a lot of Plaice but none showed up this year. Thank you for the donation, no need but appreciated all the same! Thanks mate, enjoy the weekend, tight lines 👍👍
@@riversidewithme ye I’ll definitely have to give brixham a go, your videos are non stop when you’re down there. I’ll hopefully get out on knap point Sunday evening-so see what happens. All the best mate, look forward to the next video 👍🏻
@@riversidewithme and no problem, every little helps i guess 👍🏻
@@scottkenny7661 I wish I was still down there to be honest. Thanks bud. Tight lines for Sunday evening if you go 👍👍
Great video
Thank you Mark, much appreciated. I'll hopefully be visiting Brixham later this year. Cheers for watching 👍
Great video Gareth. We came in off the kayak after a few hours fishing in the summer down West Wales and got talking to a marine biologist who approached to see if we had caught anything. Had a real interesting chat with him and amongst other things, he did say how seal numbers around the West Wales coast have rocketed and their numbers are starting to raise concerns. Looks like they have the same problem on the south coast 😂
Thank you mate, appreciated as always. That's interesting, their numbers do seem to be increasing and it's strange as many parts of the UK coastline are not as prolific (fish stocks) as they once were and so you wonder where their food is coming from. Although down in Brixham, the water is black with fish and it's teeming with life, I've never seen anything like it anywhere...the seals certainly don't go hungry ha! Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍
Not even watch this video yet mate just seem Brixham torbay lol I lived in Torquay my hole life don't suppose you can make a video off night fishing on oddicombe beach up in babbacome ill be going down to Torquay soon to fish with my bro just wondering what that beach is fishing like mate
Ah yes I remember you saying you're from Torquay. I used to spend quite a bit of time there back in the day, holidays etc. I probably won't be going back to Torbay until January and so I won't be able to try Oddicombe beach, although I will look it up as I do love a bit of beach fishing and will hopefully get to fish it. Cheers mate 👍👍
Great video m8 keep it up
Thank you Kirk, appreciated as always. Hope all is good with you. Cheers 👍👍
@@riversidewithme yes m8 all.good at this end thanks.buddy
Great vid again! Does Brixham fish all winter and do the species change? Any recommendations on where to stay for a few days? Well done mate
Thank you Andrew, much appreciated. It fishes well throughout the year, the bigger whiting tend to leave at the end of January but most of the species there can be caught throughout the year. The winter mackerel fishing is good because they tend to be larger then. We just usually book a holiday home close to the centre, tend to stay in different ones, depends on the price really. B and B's are no good for me because I have my fishing stuff with me hence why we book a house. Prices should start to drop now that winter in approaching. Cheers 👍👍
Hi Gareth, great video just a quick question did you have many mackerel when fishing in the day ?
Thanks Dan, just saw your message on eBay. Yeah lots of Mackerel during the day, I only showed a couple on camera but they were there in good numbers last week and were a good size. Hopefully they will hang around for a while. Cheers 👍👍
Was the last mark named battery gardens?
It's just before battery gardens, behind the university building. Battery gardens is just around the corner, along the footpath 👍
WW2 gun batteries were placed there.
Just having a look at this video again and it looked like you used a lure to catch the Garfish from the rocks. Is that correct?
Yes David, it was a 28 gram metal lure. The one I caught later on in the video was on the float, small piece of Mackerel as bait. The fishing is always good down at Brixham
@@riversidewithme Thanks Gareth. I must give a lure a go for Garfish. I have never tried Garfish on a lure and have not seen anyone use a lure for Garfish. It has always been a float. There are some very good Garfish grounds here.
Sorry its not much mate
Gareth have you ever fish Berry Head?
Yes I have Ian, quite a few times. Although I tend to leave that area until Autumn/Winter when it's not so busy.
hi, what is best mark to catach mackerel near Cardiff please?
Hi Abrar, you can't catch Mackerel near Cardiff as they don't go that far up the channel, they prefer clearer water. So the closest place to catch Mackerel would probably be the Gower area just past Swansea, they tend to arrive from late May onwards 👍👍
@@riversidewithme thank you
I love fishing their myself great sport on light gear to be had. Good put together video aswell 👍 I live not far from you and in the new year if you want to join myself and my butty lure fishing for bass and using rag for micro species let me know 👍
Thank you mate, much appreciated. Great place to fish isn't it, so many different species and anything can turn up. Everywhere I looked I could see fish, great to see. Cheers for the offer, will keep you posted on that! Have a good weekend 👍👍
Sorry to trouble you again Gareth, but what length rods do you use there?
Hi David. My two beachcasters are 13ft 8 inches and my spinning/float rod is10ft. They pretty much cover all bases at Brixham 👍👍
@@riversidewithme Cheers Gareth. Appreciated.
Thanks
Thank you for the donation Jon, it is very much appreciated! Cheers for watching 👍👍
