Sea Fishing After Work: What A Fantastic Site!!

[@lesglover7016]

Amazing vid again, as always

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Les. The Porpoise sighting was impressive, that was certainly a first for me. Hope all is well...cheers 👍

[@lesglover7016]

You was lucky to see that, I can remember back in the 70s 80s dolphins was spotted in the Usk. Looking forward to the next video 📹

[@riversidewithme]

@lesglover7016 Yes I doubt I'll see another one down there, a one-off sighting. I bet that was a shock for the locals when those Dolphins went up the Usk back in the day!

[@neilthomas3871]

Gotta say Gareth your videos are about “ real” fishing. Sometimes you catch , sometimes you don’t. That’s fishing. Keep em coming mate.👍🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Neil. Yes I try to show it as it is, best to keep it real I think. As you say, we can't always catch the fish, especially these days. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍

[@gordoncarass2360]

I know I have said it before, you have a rare talent with the camera. You don`t give us a video Gareth you give us the full experience!

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Gordon, that's nice of you to say. I do my best to make the watch as realistic as possible, hence why I like to get close to the water and wildlife etc, so it makes it feel like you're there. Cheers as always 👍

[@Speysider1962]

The polar opposites of life, at work amidst the rat race, then on to the peace and tranquility on the shoreline. Your videos bring it all home.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you, I definitely needed that session having had a tough day at work. It's a lovely spot in fairness, always a pleasure being there 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you, I definitely needed that session having had a tough day at work. It's a lovely spot in fairness, always a pleasure being there 👍

[@snowyman5683]

Cracking video Gareth, some lovely scenery shots and the sky was beautiful, put that with the sounds of spring wow it made a cracking watch, also a chunky conger as well, Top job pal, thanks for sharing it with us all 👍🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Nigel. Yes it's stunning down there, the sunsets are always impressive and the wildlife is unbelievable. Seeing that Porpoise was special, I didn't think they went that far up the channel. Hope all is good with you, take it easy 👍

[@jeffdelacruz5818]

Pure therapy Gareth. Am over from Ireland this weekend with my wife , her first time over since her stroke. We visited the Marconi Village down at Lavernock to see old friends as we had a chalet down there before we moved to Ireland .On the cliff path towards Sully Island there is a bench which overlooks Flat Holm. I scattered my Dad's ashes there. I talked to him for a while whilst staring out on the channel . I asked him to help our four week old granddaughter who is struggling at the moment. He will. God bless you Gareth.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Jeff, it was a lovely evening for it, such a beautiful spot down there. Must have been nice for you to go back to the Marconi Village and to the spot where you scattered your Dad's ashes, I think I know the bench you are talking about. I often talk to Dad when I'm out fishing, especially when I need a bit of help with something. I'm sure your Dad was listening and I hope your granddaughter becomes stronger, I'm sure she will. Take care, look after yourself 👍

[@littlehon8330]

Cracking video again Gareth, enjoyed this and a nice bonus conger to top it all off 😁

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you bud, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It was a lovely evening in fairness, I couldn't fault it. Enjoy the weekend 👍

[@mickhardstaff6605]

Great video Gareth . Not just the scenery but all the birds chatting away to each other , so coming . Hope you get all your jobs done at the weekend, they soon mount up when you can't get them done straight away .

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Mick. The birds were amazing that day and I couldn't resist capturing their songs and calls. Yes my house always requires some type of maintenance and it's not always easy to find the time and so I tend to do the jobs all together in one go. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍

[@leightongroves1509]

Always a pleasure Gareth 🎣 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Leighton. A beautiful evening at a beautiful place...lovely! Cheers as always 👍

[@waynehiggs7335]

Many years ago, I had the pleasure of living in Peterstone Wentloog and you are absolutely spot on when you talk about the wildlife and sounds down at the channel. That mud is an incredibly rich ecosystem and draws the bird life in from hundreds of miles away in Autumn/ Winter. Loved watching this video, just reminds me of time spent with my black labrador just chilling out on the sea wall and taking it all in. Many thanks for your great camera work Gareth, the fish are just a bonus👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Wayne, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. Yes I remember you saying that you ran one of the pubs down there. Must have been amazing for you living so close, I can understand why you had many enjoyable moments with your black Labrador, good memories. Surprising what the mud attracts isn't it, I couldn't believe it when that Porpoise swam past and the bird activity was simply awesome! Cheers as always, take it easy 👍

[@Grumszy]

Nice one Gareth. Not seen a bad vid of yours, always appear to be easy going type of person. takecare fella. Great vid.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you William, that's nice of you to say. I've made plenty of bad videos I can assure you ha! I appreciate your continued support 👍

[@carlthorley3030]

Loved it as usual mate, best way to start the weekend. All the best to you and your family 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Carl. Nice little session in fairness, quiet on the fish front but it was just nice being there. And the same to you and your family...cheers 👍

[@albertcross4275]

Hi Gareth, 7 oz Grippers.... Wow almost up tiding... Great vlog as all ways take care.. 🐟🐟🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Albert. Yes and sometimes an 8oz gripper is required at this spot, the water really rips around the bend! Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍

[@RogerJones-ju7cp]

You have an unbelievable ability to envelope the essence of a relaxing trip with your still shots and of course the plethora of fantastic fishing marks that you have across there . Always a pleasure to watch your vids.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Roger, I appreciate that, nice of you to say. I do my best to make a relaxing video, that's always my priority and any fish that turn up are a bonus. Cheers for watching 👍

[@geraldbrookes3666]

[@andyhawkes3335]

Great watch again gareth good luck with your jobs at home😊

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Andy, much appreciated. Hopefully I can get everything finished so that I can fit in another session during the week! Enjoy the weekend 👍

[@paulweare9569]

Wow, never seen a porpoise that far up the channel Gareth. Again good old mr conger beating the blank. Thanks again for sharing your exploits with us, very much appreciated as always.

[@riversidewithme]

Yes it was a great sight Paul and funnily enough, I spotted a pod of 4 Porpoise down at Goldcliff a few days ago, I was walking along the seawall. Two sightings in two weeks! Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍

[@chroniclesofahalfwit]

Another incredibly relaxing video, what a way to put a hard days work behind you. You capture some great stills that add so much to these videos, even without fish they’re a joy to watch, but a meaty old conger is always a welcome sight. Hope you get good weather for your weekends chores, take care.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you bud, much appreciated. Yes it was a great way of unwinding after work, it's such a beautiful area and the sounds are soothing. The Congers are rescuing me at the moment, all I seem to be catching ha! Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Haha thank you Neil, the Congers are certainly rescuing me at the moment! It was a beautiful evening in fairness, the birds were on top form and seeing that Porpoise was a great sight! Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍

[@grahamedwards2832]

Another stunning video Gareth, lovely conger 👍🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Graham. It was a lovely evening in fairness, I couldn't complain. Cheers as always 👍

[@dm51964]

A video of the wave sounds, sunsets and bird calls would be amazing. Congratulations on the Conger

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks bud, it was an enjoyable little session. Yes I will try and get that video done, something a bit different. Cheers for watching 👍

[@mattsellings9743]

Superb as always Gareth, keep up the good work, your videos are super relaxing to watch with the perfect mix of fishing, scenery and wildlife.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Matt, nice of you to say. I can't always rely on the fish these days and so I tend to focus more on the scenery and surroundings etc. This was a lovely evening, it was a pleasure being there. Cheers as always 👍

[@ronaldjohn5477]

Hi Gareth. Another day another Conger. We will be calling you “Mr Consistent ” if you keep it up. Get on with those house chores. We will wait eagerly for your next mission. Keep up the good work

[@riversidewithme]

Hi Ronald. Ha yes, the Congers are rescuing me at the moment, all I seem to be catching but I don't mind. It was a pleasant evening in fairness, the wildlife was on good form and the sunset was impressive. Thank you for watching, much appreciated 👍

[@7mightymouse3]

I just love these videos, so honest. What a great evening to be out fishing, nice to get a good fish too. Brilliant again 👍🏻🍺

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Chris, that's good to hear. Yes it was a stunning evening, I really couldn't fault it. Cheers as always, take care 👍

[@RoystonMills]

Gareth fished on there with my boys they loved it there easy for them from there on a small tide

[@riversidewithme]

Lovely spot isn't it Royston, glad your boys enjoyed it. Hopefully a few Bass will be hitting that area very soon. Cheers as always, much appreciated 👍

[@andyharris17able]

[@stephenwilkinson4214]

Cheers Gareth …. Nicely done mate very enjoyable watch. Gareth you take care mate especially when you’re up replacing those broken tiles. 👍🎣🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Stephen. It was a lovely evening in fairness, I couldn't fault it. All my jobs are now completed thankfully, spent the entire weekend doing it all. The previous owners left some spare slates here and so I used those, only 5 or 6 needed replacing. Cheers as always, take care 👍

[@richardgould240]

Another great video Gareth, a good chill out after work for you and your viewers 🎣. Looking forward to getting out and doing some fishing 🎣.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Richard. Yes it was a beautiful evening, the sunset was impressive and the birds were on good form, couldn't fault it. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@AJSnake86]

Great video again dude. I love watching these videos, really makes me want to see more of my local coastline and travel more and see the rest of the UK

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you bud, much appreciated. I guess it's surprising how much our coastlines have to offer, such beautiful places. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍

[@johnbarnes9379]

Another absolutely cracking video from Ga.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you John, appreciated as always. One of my favourite marks, so many great memories. Cheers for watching 👍

[@rustybrownstein8985]

Thanks again for taking us fishing with you. Its nice to see some of my old fishing spots. ❤ I called at the lighthouse last week just to reminisce. 👌

[@riversidewithme]

You're welcome bud. Lovely spot isn't it, one of my favourites, I have many great memories, as I'm sure you do. Cheers for watching 👍

[@bizzbarberbarryt747]

another "CHILL OUT" fishing trip yep it is not always about the catch it def is about the prep and expectation of enjoyment and losing yourself in the moment . yes gareth those congers/rays save the blank and allow us to wallow in our success of a job well done when sitting home by that warm fire with our family . The bristol channel offers so much scenery and challenges and moving down the coast 60 miles or so our thirst for macky and clearwater bass tactics are fullfilled we are so blessed and you are right fishing has become more of a challenge than it used to be for many reasons but that makes those success much more satisfying . keep those vids coming gareth TIGHT LINES

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks bud, appreciated as always. Yes the Congers are certainly following me around at the moment, although I don't mind them. I just enjoy spending a few hours next to the water, at picturesque locations. This particular evening was beautiful, the sunset, the wildlife and of course the Porpoise. That's it, the fishing locally is very hard work these days, it was easy when I was a kid but these places continue to lure me back as they're special to me. I'll hopefully fit in another mid-week session shortly, may be after work again. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍

[@jeffcole5708]

What a whopper, nice session.

[@riversidewithme]

Yes it was a lovely evening Jeff, decent sunset and seeing the Porpoise was quite special. Cheers as always 👍

[@geraintdavies4940]

Thank you Lyndon. I bet you have some great memories of fishing down there with your Father. Same for me really, Dad took me there for the first time back in the mid-80s and I've fished it ever since, I just love the place. Cheers for watching 👍

[@steverees-el6jf]

Lovely video as always Gareth as you say it’s not all about the fishing it’s everything that goes with it. The experience of the surroundings it’s all wonderful the fish is a nice bonus. Keep up the good work Gareth I look forward to the next one.

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks bud, much appreciated. I like those after-work sessions, a great way of unwinding. Cheers for watching 👍

[@carldawson832]

[@raypickering6211]

Hi Gareth another great video , I noticed the porpoise at 11mins 44 seconds behind you it breached twice, and then again when you pointed out. Great Conga, great scenery shots, brilliant watch, keep up the good work looking forward to seeing the next on.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Ray, much appreciated. I'm glad you spotted the Porpoise, it was an unexpected surprise as I never thought we'd see one so far up the channel. It's a beautiful spot and I always enjoy being there, pure therapy. Cheers for watching 👍

[@scottkenny7661]

Great video as ever mate, you’re on fire with the congers lately fair play. Hope you’re doing well mate, look forward to the next one as always 🎣🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Scott. Ha yes, all I seem to be catching are Congers at the moment, they are certainly rescuing me! Yes I'm doing ok thanks bud, hope all is good with you. I might try and fit in another mid-week session if I get the time. Cheers as always 👍

[@j.g.routley2442]

Morning buddy!! Beautifully filmed video, as always....I remember my Grandad taking me down to the seawall at The Lighthouse pub & cooking up bacon on an old blue meth stove, no need for sauce!!! Ha!! Great job on a stunning conger, you certainly know how to coax 'em out mate....lovely fish!!....You're right about the therapeutic side of fishing, the scenery, the wildlife & just the being away from stress & distractions.....like winning the lottery!! You do get to see & hear some incredible sounds/ sights. Be careful on those ladders this weekend & if ever you get 'bored', I got a million jobs that always need doing on the land!! Ha!! Anyways Gareth, all the very best to you & look forward to the next vid....Jon.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Jon, appreciated as always. Sounds like you had a good time down there with your Grandad, can't beat a cook-up down at the seawall! Yes definitely, the wildlife there is always on top form and the birds that day were impressive, their calls and sounds etc. Seeing the Porpoise was a nice surprise, I didn't think we'd ever see one this far up the channel, obviously being attracted to a food source. Haha thank you, I think I have enough jobs here to last a lifetime, always something that needs doing, it's neverending! Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend! 👍

[@mariaefelices6543]

Nice eel gareth ,channel not producing yet still a tad early so ive found in my haydays of fishing the channel ty mark cdf

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Mark. Yes I would agree with that, still a little early and the recent easterly winds have kept the temperatures down. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍

[@ianjames8794]

Nice Conger to break the blank. That Dolphin was probably feeding on the fish you should of been catching. Back in the early nineties down Redwick I used to catch loads of Conger. Unfortunately the numbers have definitely dwindled over the years. Thanks for the upload. Always a pleasure to watch your perfectly crafted videos.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Ian, much appreciated. Yes, there must have been fish out there as I've never seen a Porpoise this far up the channel before, it seemed quite happy as it was jumping away. Fish numbers are certainly not what they were, makes me sad, I do wonder where it will all end. Cheers for watching 👍

[@MartinPeters-y4e]

Another good one Gareth. Thanks for sharing it. I'll keep a look out for the porpoises when I take the dog down the Knap later!

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Martin. Ha yes, you may well see a couple off the Knap...things definitely seem to be a little different these days! Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍

[@anguillaanguila7255]

great vid - jump starty haha. You are right with the sounds of the night. you get get in tune with it

[@riversidewithme]

Haha thanks bud. Yes definitely, it's just nice being there, taking it all in. The marks I fish are not what they were but I still enjoy it. Cheers 👍

[@gavinworrow4801]

Fantastic video fella. Iv loved fishing for many years now always seeking the great exspectation of catching the biggest specimen targeted. but now abit like you fishing has a different meaning for me. Of course i try to catch every time, but im really not bothered any more. And couldnt agree with you more. Its pure theropy now . I come from London and fished the Thames Estuary, my dad took me fishing from a boy and showed how he caught eels . I totally love catching them and now living in cwmbran it seems i couldnt be in a better place. thankyou so much for sharing your local knowledge. but more than that the exsperiences and beautiful wildlife. when i cant get out i just kick back and watch your videos. Thanks again Garath pure theropy. And a cracking eel. Not sure if you'll get time to see this comment you must be exstreamly busy , but just wanted to let you know how much i appreciate every time you share your time. its deeply valued. thanks mate.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Gavin, appreciated as always. Sounds like you have great memories of fishing with your Dad on the Thames, good stuff. Yes same here, the fish are just a bonus for me nowadays, I enjoy spending a few hours next to the water, taking it all in, that's what I look forward to the most. I think we change the older we become and we learn to appreciate the surroundings a lot more. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍

[@warrenbird497]

Love your videos chap keep up the good work 👌🏻

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Warren, much appreciated. Hopefully more to come soon with a bit of luck. Cheers 👍

[@AndyCox-u5r]

Thanks Gareth, as always an excellent video. Especially loved the skies at dusk, all sorts of colours in there! Nice conger too! 😁 The rip tide you mentioned reminded me of fishing Dover’s Admiralty Pier at high tide and 8oz was needed to even try and hold bottom! Take care, don’t overdo it on the weekend odd jobs! 🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Andy. It was certainly a beautiful evening for it, couldn't fault it to be honest. Sounds like you had some good fun with those 8oz leads on Admiralty Pier ha! Lots of my local marks are the same, particularly the upper reaches of the Severn Estuary, very strong currents! Cheers as always, take care 👍

[@trisgroves1300]

Another great video m8 thanks for the entertainment.

[@riversidewithme]

You're welcome Tris, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍

[@towy-fisher]

Another great vid there bud, when you watch it back, take a look over your left shoulder and behind you when your playing the fish. There’s a Sea Trout or Bass or something rising there. See you on the next one. Summer’s coming. 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you bud, I appreciate it. Ah right, I shall certainly take a look at that, could well have been as you do get some big Bass around there. Yes indeed, hopefully plenty of good summer fishing for all of us! Cheers for watching 👍

What would we do without the congers. Always nice to see a porpoise, not something you see often in the estuary. Great video

[@riversidewithme]

Exactly Ed, only things I'm catching at the moment ha! Yes I was shocked when that Porpoise swam past, very rare indeed as you say, must have been a food source present. Cheers as always, take care 👍

[@edstevens701]

@@riversidewithme only thing I can think of that could be a big enough food source is mullet, but only a guess

[@riversidewithme]

@edstevens701 Yes you could be right, the mullet seem to be doing well in the estuary, good numbers.

[@roywesley8254]

Great video’s mate love it keep up the wonderful job 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Roy, much appreciated. Hopefully more to come soon with a bit of luck 👍

[@pauljones9827]

This section of coastline while rather bleak has a beauty all of its own. You capture that atmosphere really well Gareth. As a fisherman I know what I want to see in your videos and the fish keep popping up. Even without fish I still love the videos. I am hoping to get down to Brixham next week...stock up on some baitfish maybe. All the best.

[@riversidewithme]

Yes I'd agree with you there Paul, the bleakness is quite magical and the wildlife is always on good form. I caught far more fish when I was 10 years of age than I do now but I still enjoy spending a few hours on the mud, it always lures me back. Hope you have some success down Brixham next week, I'm sure you will, that place usually produces the goods. Cheers as always, take care 👍

[@MetalDetectingTheUK]

Those weekend jobs don't half get in the way don’t they Gareth. Your weekend sounds simular to mine. Good we got your videos to watch though 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Tell me about it Paul, these jobs certainly do ruin my fishing plans haha! Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video, it was a lovely evening in fairness. Take it easy 👍

[@garymears223]

Thank you Gareth for another great video. I love the sound of the water hitting the rocks, so relaxing. Look forward to the next one. Cheers mate.

[@riversidewithme]

You're welcome Gary, I'm pleased that you enjoyed the video. Yes, the sound of the water hitting the rocks was just what I needed after a tough day at work. Cheers for watching 👍

[@patriciamorgan8909]

Wonderful video again Gareth, I reckon you could do nature videos as well, but it's time consuming! Maybe when you retire? Take care🤗

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Patricia. It was a nice evening in fairness, I couldn't complain. Well you never know, maybe one day ha! But yes, time is the issue! Take care 👍

[@stephenclark7013]

Nice one Gareth the colours of that conger amazing the twilight and your light made it come alive .I will be exploring that coastline in the next couple of weeks got some time off work not fishing but walking first .

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Stephen. Yes that sounds good, it's a great place to go walking, there's usually something to see and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍

[@SOMERSETBEACHFISHINGtony]

lovely video gareth , hope your all well mate

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Tone. I like those after-work sessions, a nice way of clearing the head. I watched your latest video last night, superb as always. Tight lines mate 👍

[@marksmith-em7mc]

Another fantastic video, great to see the Porpoise I've seen them between the 2 bridges over low tide

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Mark, much appreciated. Ah nice, I didn't realise they came this far up the channel but obviously they do. Some have suggested they could be feeding on the Mullet and Bass shoals. Cheers for watching 👍

[@paulb2825]

Great video ❤

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Paul, much appreciated. Take care 👍

[@richiethespark]

Nice video Gareth as always. Another nice chunky eel saved the blank again. Lovely to see that porpoise swimming about. 20 odd years ago I was working near Goldcliff so went for a walk along the sea wall during my lunch break and sadly came across a dead porpoise washed up by the base of the wall. It was about 6 or 7 feet long from memory. Who knows what else is swimming out in the channel. Thanks for sharing.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Richie. The Congers are certainly rescuing me at the moment ha, all I seem to be catching but I don't mind. Ah right that's interesting, I bet that was a surprising sight for you, shame that it had died. As you say, there could be anything out there, all very mysterious isn't it. Cheers as always, take care 👍

[@davidjenkins6453]

Two years ago fishing the transporter bridge I watched a porpoise head up on the flood it came back down later on the ebb. We used to see the occasional, along with salmon, many years ago when we had our boat on the river. Its good to see at least the porpoises are still around.

[@riversidewithme]

Ah right, so they even go up the Usk then, that's interesting. Like yourself, I used to see a lot of salmon jumping near the transporter bridge but not so many nowadays. I've actually just got in, I had a quick pleasure session down at the Pink House near Goldcliff and a pod of 4 Porpoise were about 70 yards out, they were swiftly heading up the Estuary! Seems that there's quite a few about at the moment. Thanks David 👍

[@robwebber1217]

I think you under estimated that conger mate, looked an easy double. 🙂

[@riversidewithme]

You could be right Rob, it was a chunky thing. They are rescuing me at the moment, obviously following me around ha! Cheers as always 👍

[@seanbowers9269]

So glad your back Gareth. Love your videos. The meaning. The fishing. Everything. Your just a great guy. Looking forward to your next video. Keep it up mate as your videos really help my mental health. They make me feel normal. For that I thank you. Keep it up mate. Much love

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Sean, I appreciate that and I'm pleased that you find the videos helpful, hopefully more to come. It was a lovely evening in fairness and it was a pleasure being there. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Michael, much appreciated. Ah yes, I bet that tasted nice, good memories for you. I'm not surprised you caught some big ones down at Brixham, the Congers seem to like that area! Cheers for watching 👍

[@markduggan8835]

Great video Gareth it is therapy I marked off my first year of fishing with my first small eyed ray it was my first double figure 10lb11oz down the knap last Thursday and haven't stopped smiling since and it was something I was targeting which I haven't done till recently being new to fishing 😊

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Mark, much appreciated. Well done on catching that small eyed ray, that's a lovely fish in fairness and no wonder you haven't stopped smiling! No doubt you'll have plenty more good sessions! Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@christophersell3497]

Nice fish, if you are ever in NYC the striped bass are chomping and if you're around for the spring or fall run there's a couple of brits who'll put toy on the fish. 8 fish to 30lb last week from the shore!

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Christopher. I've never been to NYC but maybe one day, I'd need to save up first. Sounds like you're getting some nice fish at the moment, hopefully it will continue. Cheers 👍

[@jamesparry7165]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos Good content I also live in Wales but North Wales but I was born on Merseyside. I do most of my fishing in Aberdovey as I have a static caravan there. Keep up the great work.😊😊

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you James, I appreciate that. I've never fished the Aberdovey area but I suspect the fishing is quite decent...and I'm very jealous of the fact that you have a caravan there!! Cheers for watching 👍
