Alex is always taking his videos to the next level, the editing, music and video quality just keep getting better and better every time.

[@KodieJames13]

I said this like 3 weeks ago! His editing has taken some steps up lately!

[@fidelcastro9579]

Totally agreed mate. His foraging video from Germany last year was off the scale. I don’t think he knows the level he is at. Class.

[@EndlessWeekendlife]

Yeah, you walk away with a smile thinking about it. So good!

[@speca]

Harry seems like a solid friend ❤

[@LeeleeGilbert]

‘Proper Friend’

[@arthurmcclaren8860]

Alex! Harry seems like a proper good friend that you can be silly with and have a good time, I feel like that's a great indicator on how important that relationship is. Great video bud :)

[@gian_justin]

imagine Alex having a big boat! from growing plants/vegetables and raising bees to 24hrs boat camping and boat content, that'll be amazing

*Call her Boaty McBoatface!* *Our government may not keep it's promises to its' customers, but you will!*

[@Francois_Dupont]

waterworld much?

[@ShaunCheah]

I'll do you one better: I'm imagining him having a really, really, really big boat! A ship, even. Like a retired aircraft carrier, so he can section off a big part of the launch deck as a massive garden farm, with bees, and even a small forest/park area off one side with shade and things. A floating island of content, cruising the world.

[@robertcarpenter7486]

To me happiness comes the adventures not having a really big boat.

[@klaudiazalewska9054]

There's something incredibly calming about your videos

[@TheBrunobrogueira]

Its called fishing 😂😂😂

[@egg750]

That’s just his wholesome character ….. as wholesome as a loaf of hovis brown bread

[@yungprodigy1288]

The fact that his calm that’s why

[@CB-xr1eg]

@@TheBrunobrogueira Well no, he hardly does fishing videos these days.

[@magsman448]

I think it's his persona and the tone and speed at which he talks, so yes totally get that calming feel! Such a great quality to have...

[@OmShaanti1111]

The joy this morning when I get a notification of a new video from you. What next, Alex? Never a dull moment as you embrace life fully. A calmness yet joy descends. Awesome content, great videography, editing and production. I was walking in one of our Welsh lane's yesterday and there was a little pullover and I thought to myself - "That's an Alex spot", and then I found my first mushrooms - what a day. You've completely touched the heart of this 54 year old woman - live, love and laugh!

[@k1mpman]

I love how harry just eats noodles, even in the end he's eating noodles with the squid haha he seems like a lot of fun to hang out with

[@moldfinger]

as mentioned by others, waders in a boat are dangerous if you fall in. stay safe bro's

[@bernardbrindley9679]

The reason that type can fill with water, stops you moving.never get into boat.

[@patrickloef9809]

But actually, that's not entirely true... it makes swimming a bit harder, yes, but you can still swim. There's a video on YT that explains it and busting all the waders in water 'myths'.

[@BernardKruse-rz9yt]

Two years later this motor is going strong kzbin.infoUgkxBZWgzfpS2Jj7JqIHyaSZjyVHNUgCKCBf Just uploaded a video of it after 2 years. We use it probably a dozen days each year on our small raft.-original review- We got this motor the other day and tested it out. I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems good to me. It has all the features advertised - the motor housing is metal. We will see how it performs longer term and I will revise this review if needed. Some initial observations:- Good thrust, moves our boat around really well- It comes with a circuit breaker but no switch - so there's no way to kill the motor other than yanking the connection off the battery. I installed an inline switch.- The mount bracket is plastic and I worry it might break- There are a number of plastic parts that I worry about, but the most important ones are metal or some kind of composite

[@klaudiuah]

You and Harry seem so different but the bond between you two is so lovely, great to see ❤️

[@SuperRoguebear]

You guys need to take your waders off once you get the boat out, you fall into the sea they will fill up with water and drag you down very quickly

[@willcookmakeup]

Love that you've now taken to the seas. The home I grew up in was waterfront in Connecticut and I was lucky to be able to sail and kayak everyday growing up. I love the water and it's part of my soul. There is nothing like reading the winds and tides, learning charter routes of the nearby docks and yacht clubs. I miss it so much. We had the Tartan 37', Chris Craft Launch 27, and my little baby Sunfish. Keep it up and never stop exploring the ocean

[@mayberry1965]

Great boating adventures with Harry!!! Loaded with fun, patience, and good eats.

[@doh4828]

Harry’s parents’ garden has got to be one of the most epic gardens in Britain.

[@eyetok_alot]

i love the fact that you never know what Alex is up to next, mushrooms, cabin in the mountains, vegi garden, bees, and now a little blow up boat and fishing ... keep going weirdo, i love it

[@fishwithcarl]

Welcome back to Fish With Alex. hehe happy to see a fishing video again! :) :)

[@just_alex]

😂😂😂

[@Louisjp1875]

We need more boat/sea fishing videos 🙏🏻

[@Narelon_]

I've been in the habit of watching Alex's videos as a nice way to wind down in the evenings for a while now, and there's no words for the look on my face when I realize they're made right in my back garden! You really show the beauty of West Sussex well, Alex - keep up the great work.

[@vincentceulemans735]

You just invented the most relaxing video format in history. Cheers to you Alex

[@TheLisaGreenlee]

Hi Alex, I just love "Just Alex". I can't wait until you hit the road again and I love watching you cook. My best, Lisa

[@shinuizabusa2180]

What a team, Harry seems to be a buddy for life. Never stop being excited 🤘much love from austria mate.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Get a set of flushers (often called ear muffs). They attach to a garden hose and the cups sit over the intake on the motor. You don't need a barrel of water then, just the hose. For launching - If one man then have the boat bow in to the land, get the motor running THEN get in and back carefully out until able to safely turn around. If two men then one gets in and has the motor running before the second man gets in. Consider getting/making a sling/strap to go over your shoulders for hauling the boat to the water. It will save a lot of strain on your hands and arms. Adventure awaits!

[@munkymittens]

What an inspirational young man. Not just in his attitude but personality. Humble and down to earth

[@markmiller5577]

Honest ,open, entertaining ,always a pleasure to watch your adventures. Thank you both .

[@johncatlin1702]

Watching from Wisconsin, where there are lakes, boats and good fishing everywhere. The camaraderie of fishing with a friend or dad or son is what makes it all worthwhile, and that's why Harry was right to say there are no bad days of fishing. A popular bumper sticker says, "A bad day of fishing is better than a great day at work." I would get one for you and bring it to London when i go in 10 days or so, but wouldn't know how to get it to you.

[@Emscom]

I agree calming, real and love watching your adventures. Keep being you 👍❤️

[@cheza7061]

That was a fantastic video, good to see you getting some fishing in and mixing that in with your passion of cooking, it looked gorgeous. I hope to see more of these videos if possible. 😎🎣🐟

[@shropshireladoutdoors743]

Nice to see you back out fishing and something different again keep up the fantastic work Alex

[@C.J98]

Harry seems like a great person to have around, excellent episode lads

[@bethcollier3789]

Aww congratulations, nothing like fresh food from the sea. I believe your health points are now at factory settings. Well done and thank you for sharing the recipe.

cool boat . nice to see you pumped and happy you loved it . made me feel happy for you . see you in the next one

[@jongriffin-u8v]

Loved it, nice to meet you harry. Boat looks great fun

[@rickyjessome4359]

Great video Alex! I have to say that is a really nice boat and the squid looked delicious. Cheers

[@Randomstuff-ri8mk]

Awesome. Nice to see Alex fishing again

[@raygrange7312]

Brilliant Alex. I just bought an inflatable kayak. Nothing like having a boat. Your one looks amazing.👍

[@daviddeane7293]

Alex that was an amazing adventure and looked so much fun nice to see you fishing 🎣 again and catching your dinner to amazing work alex keep up the amazing filming to 🎥👏👍🎣😁

[@SpanielshuntingtrialingNZ]

Once again your adventures (in this case boating, fishing and cooking) brought a smile to my face, Awesome Alex!

[@paulodmanoel500]

This is awesome! I would love to see more boating adventures.

[@GH-xr3eh]

Awesome video! Love these catch and cooks. I like the name Betty for the boat.

[@carp2008]

Would you ever do a day in the life vid? It might not be very long (or not) but I think it’d be pretty cool just to see what you do every day, like checking on your bees or garden and such :D

[@outshimed]

I enjoyed watching your enthusiasm about getting your boat and fishing, but as always things devolve back to Alex cooking, which was my favorite part. That squid dish looked amazing.

[@soniayoung7531]

Hi Alex nice boat, glad you finally caught something, squid looks delicious, made me want some lol,thanks for sharing

[@mervyfaith4876]

I enjoyed your gardening vids and this suddenly popped up so I clicked and watched. Thanks for this adventure!

[@elleosteen7595]

yes, harry definitely seems to be fun friend to be with. make more videos with him. and you're about closing in on 300K subscribers. congratulations! very happy you were able to get that many subs in less than 3 years?

[@cylentone]

Nice that you have remained down-to-earth enough to be so excited for an inflatable boat. Refreshing compared to the other fishing madness on KZbin. Enjoy, be safe and keep the videos coming!

[@mattgrazia]

Great content Alex. Have really enjoyed the videos and it's been so good see how your presentation style and confidence is growing. So good and well done.

[@ooo4801]

Great content, very well put together. Well done chaps.

[@Alexxx---101]

Hi, that squid looked really tasty. You guys need a VHF radio and license, dont rely on mobiles. Also be careful wearing waders, if you fall over you can really struggle to get back up or back on the boat once they fill up with water (even when you're just in shallow surf) Enjoyed the video though and looking forward to the next one.

[@Dannsandiego]

An undeniably excellent adventure! Cheers!

[@SgtBurned]

Alex you're just getting bigger and better! The episodes get better each time, and when I see you post I know its going to be a great video. Can't wait for more

[@claudexy]

really cool video ,guys...:) that was interesting to watch. i can't wait to see your next outing and hoping you catch some nice fish.....lol

[@PandoraChaser2]

What a great boating adventure and awesome Squid off Brighton Pier. You two did it justice in that garden cook out recipe. Well worth the effort for sure :)

[@patrickdaniels6829]

Brilliant... how about a follow up video with the RNLI on boat safety? Squid looked amazing!

[@thecutesthumanever9769]

Your channel is becoming my comfort channel and I just found your channel yesterday. I really enjoy your videos it’s like you are doing the things I wish to do . Keep doing this great job and be you and take us along your journey🤍.

[@speca]

That looks like so much fun!

[@ItStartsWithAStep]

Thats so cool you got a boat! I have an inflatable kayak but this is next level very cool of the guys to let you have it in exchange for promo :) great to see you guys on the water :D looks so fun! Stephanie sent me over subscribed x

[@ravenfeader]

Great job guys with the new Rubber Ducky we use them for surf rescue / lifesavers over here and they are a lot of fun . Squid was a beauty and it always tastes better when you catch it yourself .

Lovely to see your friend Harry on the video. You've got yourself an awesome pal there :)

[@metaldetectingtoursgeorgia7569]

I used to have a 3,4m inflatable and launched from the lifeboat station in shoreham, brings back happy memories! try worm baits on arsley bombs or ball weights bouncing along the bottom for flatties and Bass!

[@geekyfreq]

You guys work so well together! Awesome!

[@georgeattig8088]

Oh boy! Carl is going to be SO jealous!! Has he called to “borrow” the boat (pontoon panda) yet? He needs all the help he can get to improve his fishing skills😂

[@tompatrick7275]

Think he just got a free one from Nash

[@steve-no4gi]

the uk looks good from a distance while out at sea i dont miss it shambles of a nation home for Christmas and thats enough 🤣 keep travelling alex its the way to go. Never stop exploring. Good video. I have the converted van just need the boat now🙏

[@joshwheeler3297]

Hey bro. Love the channel! I live in Tampa bay and do a lot of boating. Please do yourself a favor and put those life jackets on before you go into the water, or don’t wear waders. Waders are super dangerous when they fill with water. They make a suction around your body and you can’t get them off, but you also can’t swim or float with them, so basically you end up like a rock going to the bottom. Wearing the inflatable life jackets is smart, just wear them from start to finish, even while launching the boat.

[@rileymg4675]

I've always wanted to try the things you've been doing on the channel! Definitely inspiring me to actually do them, like the beekeeping and stuff. I'll get started after uni and check back here when I do

[@BartMolkenboer]

Looking great Alex, love all these different type of concepts exactly me!

How’s ya bees getting on Alex iv just manages to get some land for my bee hives as my neighbours was very concerned when they swarmed in my garden 😅 so finding some land for an apiary was a must to keep the peace with my neighbours 🍯

[@Srsli]

Has Carl already called to borrow it? lol great video great to see that genuine excitement!

[@Gabri170780]

amazing cliffs outside Brighton. Spent some nice time there back in the late 90's

[@Ethefake]

Nice! Though i do have a few things which i feel like could be a mistake: - a black boat gets REALLY hot in the sun, there's a reason why most boats are white, and that is it - Getting an air deck instead of an aluminium deck. The added stability of standing on metal instead of rubber will probably save you a few close calls (of falling in the water) Overall though, fun to see that you're getting into boating, have fun out there and stay safe!

[@dewantoroo]

I heard there's barely any sun light in the UK

I loved this video. Such a good vibe. Keep it up Alex

[@karenbognuda5070]

Always entertaining and different. Thanks for sharing.

[@danielbrimelow]

If you still have the boat, when you finish in the sea mount the outboard to a wheelie bin filled with water and let it run for a bit as the outboard as a rubber impeller inside which pumps the cool water round the engine which if left with salt on the get eaten away like the rest of the engine. Happy sailing bud 👍🙏 love the vids.

When spooling up mono you have to set it up so that the bulk spool spins in the direction of the rod onto the reel. You can't lay it on the floor and just wind or the line goes onto the reel all twisted up.
