Truly magnificent video. We have a wood burner and open fire in our house beautiful with the lights out just sitting watching the flames dancing like little angels. What a proud dad your dad would have been of his wonderful son. Can't wait to see more. Regards to you and the family

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Bob, I appreciate the kind words. Yes I agree, just nice to watch those flames isn't it, what a great way of relaxing. Dad loved the fire, he'd sit there for hours, it definitely helped him during his final weeks. Hope all is good with you and your family, take care 👍

[@beany1987]

Image of your father gar, like a lot of us our fathers introduced us to fishing. Spent many a summer on the beach fishing and playing, climbing over jetty’s and docks, even scattered my father ashes up morfa as it was his favourite place to fish and to be!!

[@riversidewithme]

You clearly have many good memories of the times you spent with your Dad. Nice that you spread his ashes at Morfa, what a great place that is! I spread my Dad's ashes next to the Transporter Bridge on the banks of the tidal River Usk, he loved it there. Thanks bud, appreciated as always, enjoy the weekend 👍

[@beany1987]

@@riversidewithme great memories, was difficult for him being 40 with 3 under 5 and a single father, and at that time. Being outdoors was everything as a kid and having a beach of that length to explore or the rocks to get crabs, catch mackerel, watching my brother catch a 6lb bass at 5 years old was all great way to spend a day out.

[@riversidewithme]

@beany1987 I can appreciate that must have been difficult, very challenging. What a lovely fish to catch at 5 years old, I bet your brother was chuffed with that one ❤️

[@Jimmyfisher121]

Gareth the first conger is caught, when you get them to your feet and they drop off it just saves the hassle of unhooking them the intros are just to let us know where you are, so just put it in with your chatting, just keep bringing us along with you fishing and I will enjoy it, fish on Gareth fish on, and always remember your parents are both proud of you and always will be. Jim from Scotland

[@riversidewithme]

Yes I suppose that's one way of looking at it Jim, saves having to unhook them ha! Lovely spot this is, so many great memories from over the years, the fishing here back in the day was quite special. Hope all is good with you...take care and enjoy the weekend 👍

As a lot of people have already said, your Dad would be so proud of you buddy....your love is obvious for everyone to see & he was a great teacher, not only in fishing, but in how to live & enjoy life.... Memories are so important & fishing the marks you shared, keep them alive & kicking.... Another cracking eel from the conger king!!!....there must be some real monsters out there....they certainly mess your rigs up though, don't they?? Anyways buddy, back to the stock & getting these Christmas trees ready for a few weeks time...short season, but I love it!!!! Have a great week ahead & look forward, as always to the next video...take good care buddy... Jon.

[@riversidewithme]

Hi Jon. Yes it's the same down here, quite overcast at the moment, although the wind is very light. 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 👍

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.

[@riversidewithme]

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 👍

[@carldawson832]

You are the spit of your dad. The blue of the fins on that Conger were beautiful.

[@riversidewithme]

Haha lots of people say that. Yes the colours on them are surprisingly beautiful, I actually enjoy fishing for them. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@danielpearce5113]

Always nice to be fishing and remembering past enjoyments. I watched your Chesil beach video the other day you were in the exact spot we walked and did a beach clean I am looking forward to your next one and am still catching up on your previous ones many thanks mate see you soon

[@riversidewithme]

Yes that's right Daniel, good to reminisce isn't it, keeps those memories alive. Ah yes I remember that Chesil session, unfortunately I felt rough and so I couldn't make a proper video, the weather was a little dodgy too. I'll go back though, I do like that end of the beach. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍

[@tonystrange3893]

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

[@riversidewithme]

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. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍

[@andyhawkes3335]

Hi gareth in my opinion this is your best video great sadness and joy in equal parts your dad would be and is very proud of you cheers

[@riversidewithme]

Ah thank you Andy, I appreciate it bud. I have so many great memories, I'd give anything to fish with Dad one more time. Have a great weekend 👍

[@jeffdelacruz5818]

Thank you Gareth. A wonderful video this , adored it .

[@riversidewithme]

You're welcome Jeff, glad you enjoyed it. It was a beautiful evening, I couldn't complain. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍

[@paulweare9569]

Excellent video as always Gareth, always a pleasure watching. It really is a lovely mark to fish, and always good for a conger or two. It is always nice to hear your stories, keep up the great work mate.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Paul, appreciated as always. Yes definitely, it's a great mark isn't it, many good memories from over the years. Hope all is good with you, take it easy bud 👍

[@natehawkshaw1048]

Your videos give me goosebumps.. your such a genuine person and tell a story which I love from start to finish.. I've only been a subscriber for a few months and love every time you post a new watch.. I suffer with bad anxiety and your fishing vids help.. your dad seemed a good guy and would be so proud of you.. im only down the road in swansea.. love to meet up one day and getba few lines wet! Tight lines my friend.. all the best butt 🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Nate, I'm pleased to hear that the videos help. Anxiety can be crippling as you know, it can stop you from functioning day to day, I sometimes get it bad, it's not nice. Yes Dad was a good bloke in fairness, he got on with everyone and we spent many hours together next to the water. Cheers for watching bud, have a good weekend 👍

[@MartinPeters-y4e]

Keeping it real again Gareth, as they say. Glad to see you back on the eels! Tight lines 😀

[@riversidewithme]

Ha yes, the Congers are never too far away from me Martin, they love me 😂. Thanks bud, have a good weekend 👍

[@08dangler]

Awsome m8 great edit 👌

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks bud, appreciated as always. It was a nice evening in fairness, I couldn't complain. Cheers 👍

[@robchannon6211]

Another great video and some great conga juggling.

[@riversidewithme]

Haha thanks Rob, that one just didn't want to keep still, definitely a bit of juggling required! Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@jamessexton9185]

Cracking conger again Gareth 👏

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks James, I was pleased to get another, having lost one earlier in the session ha! Have a good weekend 👍

[@fazetyler2.00lane4]

Great one again mate I know you say about your dad I lost my mum in the same year so I know how you feel I’d loved to tell you more but not on here anyway looking forward to seeing the next one have a good weekend after you finish work Saturday 🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks bud, appreciated as always. Nice little session it was, such a calm and peaceful evening, hardly any wind. Ah yes I can appreciate that it was tough when you lost your mum, never an easy time. Aye that's it, we can eventually rest when the work is done ha! You have a good one too 👍

[@WoodlandWalks]

Great fishing session again Gareth. So glad you’re able to get out to your favourite places. Again , love your channel, content and filming which I find relaxing and easy to watch. Cheers Gareth.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you very much for the channel donation Pete, I shall put it towards some bait. This particular evening was very calm, not a breath of wind and it was a pleasure being there, I couldn't complain. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍

[@steverees-el6jf]

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.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Steve, always appreciated. Yes you're right there, you can't beat a bit of reminiscing, always good for the soul isn't it. 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 👍

[@andrewwilkins1707]

quality video as always

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Andrew, much appreciated. Enjoy the weekend 👍

[@andyharris17able]

[@riversidewithme]

Yes very true that Andy ha! The Swans were on good form and I couldn't resist getting some footage of them. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@alansaunders8196]

[@Labraxsquad2027]

Very touching video buddy and no doubt your Dad still sees you doing your thing and fishing his spot you should be incredibly proud of yourself buddy.

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks bud, nice of you to say, I appreciate it. Yes I'd like to think that he's still watching when I'm out fishing, that's a nice thought. Have a good weekend 👍
