Thank you Gareth for all your videos I am getting back into fishing since retireing and a absence of over Forty years I particularly like your videos of fishing around the transporter at Newport

[@riversidewithme]

You're welcome Tony, glad you've been enjoying them. Yeah I love fishing by the transporter bridge, one of my favourite marks and I'll hopefully be doing more videos down there. Good luck with your fishing comeback, I'm sure you'll catch a few! Cheers 👍👍

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]

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]

@@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.

[@davidjubin2168]

Great video Gareth, really enjoy watching them and your commitment to the whole video fishing outings is second to none and I think this may be one of the reasons you have so many followers, please keep them coming , all the best to you.

Thank you David, that's nice of you to say. I do try and give it my all when I'm out there, although I'm fully aware that the marks I fish are not as productive as they once were, I'll keep plugging away though and you never know ha! Hopefully plenty more to come in the new year, cheers for the continued support, it is appreciated! 👍👍

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.

[@riversidewithme]

Hi Glyn, nice to hear from you again. Yes I agree with you there, I actually went down to a size 1 but forgot to mention that in the video. One of those days, hopefully I'll get a few next time ha! Thank you, I hope you and your family have a good one, enjoy it! Cheers 👍👍

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🎉👍🏻👌

Thank you David, glad you enjoyed it. A tough session but enjoyable all the same, just nice being there, weather was on top form. 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 👍👍

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.

Haha it certainly is annoying Alex, I just couldn't connect, I even tried smaller hooks but no good ha! Still enjoyable though and as you say, the weather was great! Same to you mate, have a good one! Cheers 👍👍

[@snowyman5683]

Great video Gareth, Tough session but as you said it’s always good to get out, Have a good Christmas and new year pal 🎣🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks Nigel. Yeah I missed so many fish but I guess that's how it goes sometimes, enjoyable all the same though, the weather was on top form. I'll try and get a couple next time ha! And the same to you, hope you have a good one! Cheers as always! 👍👍

love it can't wait till my next seesion back at Nells point after you put me on the mark for my first success.. and i love to fish porthcawl , speacialy now the peir is half open again.. had a double stint a few days ago last week.. and sadly caught nothing fishing into the harbour mouth.,. but mr crabs kept ruining my baits.. but i did succed in beating them by suspeding my flapper rig up with x4 corks tight line holding it above in the water out of reach.. and next time im going to bring a crab drop net to use off the peir side .. make best of the pests as hopeful free bait since their are so many now.. fingers crossed your next visit down porthcawl is a catching inspiration 😉

[@riversidewithme]

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! 👍👍

Trying to find those rods , power tech surf ? Look great , who makes them gareth ? ​@riversidewithme

[@riversidewithme]

@PaulFrancis-bj6vp It's one I built myself Paul, I had a couple of spare blanks in the garage. Yes it's a nice rod in fairness, has some old school power 👍

[@PaulFrancis-bj6vp]

What shop bought rod would be similar ? Quite pokey and stiff but with some give it looks ? ​@riversidewithme

Pity you didnt get a nice cod for xmas, but as you say that's fishing. I love Brixham and Teignmouth area I got my boat as Teignmouth, great fishing in the summer. 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.

[@riversidewithme]

Sorry to hear about the cancer Allen but I hope the recovery continues to go well, no doubt you'll be wetting a line again soon! 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 👍👍

[@mrskint55]

Nice to see another video merry Christmas and happy new year.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you mate. The fish were laughing at me I think ha! And the same to you, have a good one! Cheers 👍👍

[@nebraska39]

Really enjoying the content, I used to do a bit back in the day but changed the car and couldn't get a beachcaster in the new one lol, one of my mates in work has been having some nice codling under the old bridge, hint hint😉

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks mate, glad you're enjoying the videos, hopefully more to come. Ah shame the beachcaster wouldn't fit in the car, I guess a roof rack will have to do! Yeah I heard that it's fishing well under the old bridge, I had some nice sessions up there last year but not fished it this winter yet. Cheers for watching, have a good one! 👍👍

Great video I'm hoping to get to powthcawl sometime soon not been before so hoping to catch some fish wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas and New year 🎄🙏👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Adrian, appreciated as always. Hope you manage to catch a few when you fish Porthcawl. And the same to you, hope you and your family have a good one, enjoy it! Cheers 👍👍

[@carldawson832]

Hi gareth you ok pal, loved the show again great stuff. Ive been having some aggressive bites n you think fish on and its flounder attacking the bait, wind in and you think ehhhh the rod tip was going mad. Well done on your eel. I was out yesterday n it was slow going till last hour n then managed 2 flounders,1 rockling n 1 dab on the humber. I would like too wish you n them close to you a very mery xmas from the east coast GRIMSBY.

[@riversidewithme]

I'm good thanks Carl, hope you're doing ok mate. Ha yeah, my rod tip was bouncing away for most of the session but I just couldn't connect, those crafty Congers were playing games with me! I know what you mean, the Flounder down here are the same, give some really aggressive bites and you think it's something huge! Well done on your session yesterday, you were rewarded with some fish for your efforts, nice one bud. Thank you mate, the same to you and your family...have a good one and take it easy! 👍👍
