Thank you, Dad taught me everything about fishing and we spent so many good times together next time the water, I can still remember so much. You do get some monster Congers at this spot, they like the shallow mud flats as it's easy pickings for them, there were probably a few 30lbers out there that evening. Good luck with the Christmas trees, sounds like one of the more fun jobs to do, I can appreciate why you enjoy it. Cheers as always, take care 👍

I have watched every video you have made Gareth I live in the valleys and fished a few of the locations you fish Not made a comment before but felt that I should start doing so from now on Your natural approach to your fishing is for me the best part of what you do I would love to have a session with you 🎉
@riversidewithme2 ай бұрын
Thanks bud, I appreciate that, nice of you to say. I just enjoy spending a few hours next to the water to be honest, any fish which turn up are a bonus. No doubt you'll bump into me, I'm usually on a patch of mud or sand ha! Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍

Another lovely video Gareth, but the footage of your dad made this one special. I lost mine age 64 Christmas of 1999 and we couldn't go fishing for a couple years before that after he had a stroke. But but even this weekend when I was catching at a new favourite mark, I was thinking I would have liked to take him there as he had never fished it. I know he would have been proud of me just as your dad is when he is watching from above.

Thank you Neil, I appreciate it. I bet you have some great memories of when you fished with your Dad, these memories will last a lifetime. Yes definitely, your Dad will be looking down on you and I bet he enjoyed that new spot you fished! Funnily enough, I also think the same when I fish a new spot, I think Dad would have liked it! Cheers bud, take it easy 👍

Yes that's right Daniel, good to reminisce isn't it, keeps those memories alive.

Your similar to me ,my dad was a farmer and when he wasn’t farming we was fishing,,,a propper dad , I go to spots we used to go too with fond memories and a little sadness,,I suffer with anxiety so try to not go places where there’s people,but the old fave spots take me back to when I was little,,no worries safe and protected,,,it’s weird because I’m a giant of a man ,,,what am I scared off ,,who knows but every day is a day won lol,,I really enjoy your fishing videos even if you don’t get much ,,,I appreciate your extra mindfulness clips aswell,,, keep up the good work, Best wishes Tony x

Thanks for the comment Tony, I bet you have some great memories of when you went fishing with your Dad, these memories will last a lifetime. Yes anxiety is not nice, I also suffer with it from time to time, it can be debilitating. I always try my best to make a relaxing watch, not always easy but I try ha, and of course, I like to incorporate the wellbeing stuff as lots of people find it relatable.

Great video once again Gareth. It’s great to reminisce about family and friends I often do. I often look up when I’m fishing in their favourite spots and catch a nice fish and think they would be proud of that one. I have a little chuckle to myself. Nice to catch a couple of fish too that’s the bonus. It’s nice to be able to get out fishing it’s not until you can’t you appreciate how lucky you are as I’m experiencing at the moment. Thanks as always for your time and effort it’s most appreciated.

I'm glad we have the ability to remember things, it's these memories which keep us going. Sorry to hear that you can't get out fishing, that must be very frustrating for you. It's always in the back of my mind, knowing that one day I won't be able to do it anymore. Have a great weekend 👍
