Sea Fishing Straight From Work - What A Great Day!

An enjoyable Bristol Channel Sea Fishing session down on the mud. I caught my PB Cod here, I would regard it as a Goldcliff Sea Fishing mark but it's not too far from Redwick. It's one of my favourite Newport Sea Fishing marks, I've been fishing it since I was a kid and it holds many great memories. We know it as the Pink House and Cod, Codling, Thornback Ray, Bass, Flounder, Dover Sole, Whiting, Conger Eel etc can all make an appearance on the right day...I just love the place, it's a stunning part of the world, it makes me feel good! Fishing is great for mental health...what a great mind detox!
Thank you for watching, it is very much appreciated!

As far as conger fishing is concerned for me, that was a perfect catch and release. I catch so few off the shingle in Kent that each one feels like wrestling an anaconda. I was lucky enough to fish for cod in the 60's as a child and caught all my biggest fish on Folkestone pier in 1966 and 1967, using a 7ft solid fibre glass rod that never seemed to bend. Oh for yesterday's fishing with today's tackle.

[@riversidewithme]

I should have said that I was demonstrating how to catch and release a Conger, would have looked very professional ha! From the Spring onwards we get loads of Congers up this way, although I'm quite grateful as other species have drastically declined in numbers. Sounds like you had some great cod fishing back in the day, I would have loved to have experienced that. Yesterday's fishing with today's tackle...what a combination! Thank you Robert, appreciated as always 👍

[@niuniu778]

There's a whole plethora of fishing videos available on KZbin, however, this is always the one channel I eagerly await. Your videos transcend just fishing - your empathy with nature, the soundtracks, and your awareness of how important it is not to be afraid to discuss mental well-being. Cheers from China (ex-Cardiff)!

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you bud, I appreciate that. I try my best to capture what I'm experiencing on the day, hence why I show the surroundings, nature etc as that's what gives me the most pleasure nowadays, the fish are a bonus. Yes, I have no problem talking about mental health issues, I've been in some dark holes in my time and so I guess I can relate to anyone who's struggling. I hope China is treating you well, take care 👍

[@user-pv8hn4fm9s]

Having recently moved and retired to Newport from Swansea I am finding your videos a great help in settling me into the local sea angling scene and guiding me to some good marks. Just did a recce to Goldcliff this week with my dogs and looks avery fishy spot. Hopefully meet you when I am out fishing one day so I can thank you in person. Great videos with the personal touch well done.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Mark, I appreciate it and I'm pleased to hear that you're finding the videos useful. Hopefully things will start to pick up a little now that spring is approaching, won't be too long. I've not been fishing for a little while as I've been busy but I should be out again very soon. Cheers for watching and enjoy your retirement 👍

[@marcwazza7]

Love these videos. My new favourite YT channel

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Marc, glad you're enjoying them. Cheers 👍

[@simonjenkins3618]

Awesome flounder there Gareth and as for the conger eel we seen it so you caught it mate👌👍🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Simon, much appreciated Lovely Flounder wasn't it, I was chuffed when I saw it emerge from the water! Hope all is well, enjoy the weekend 👍

[@carltaylor1068]

Nice session Gareth, 😊

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks Carl, I enjoyed that one, it was a pleasure being there, especially when the wind dropped. Cheers for watching 👍

[@user-jh7rd4np8r]

That's a proper flounder Gareth!! And I'll certainly give you the conger too.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Martin, I appreciate that. Couple of nice fish and a bit of sea air, I couldn't really complain! Take care 👍

[@GazPay1977]

Great session mate, had my adrenaline racing with that bite and conger, have a great weekend!

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Gaz, it was an enjoyable session in fairness, I couldn't really complain! Yoo too, have a good one...cheers 👍

[@MJC-qj9kt]

Your Dad would be proud mate. Obviously you're still grieving and it takes time. I lost my Dad 10 years ago and it still hurts. But time does ease the pain. Cracking Flounder. That was a beaut. And I would give you the Conger too.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you mate, I appreciate it. Yes you're right there, it certainly does take time, I know exactly how you feel. I was chuffed to see that Flounder, first one I've caught in ages and it certainly warmed me up. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@garycreasey4538]

Keep banging on about how I love your vids but cant help it . Brilliantly put together shots of rocks that have interest and most people cant see it. Conger was a capture and what a stunning flounder thanks

[@riversidewithme]

​@@garycreasey4538Thank you Gary, always appreciated. It was a nice day out in fairness and a couple of bonus fish turned up, I couldn't grumble. Lovely spot, so much to see and film. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@peterdavies6915]

Brilliant yet again mate..so sorry for your loss..And if you need to cry..you do it mate..youll feel so much better for it..cant wait to see your next one...One of the best fishing vids on channel.

[@riversidewithme]

@peterdavies6915 Thank you Peter, I appreciate it. Yes you're right, always good to release that emotion isn't it, better than bottling it up. Hopefully more videos to come soon, cheers for watching 👍👍

[@leightongroves1509]

It's a Saturday morning watch for me Gareth always a pleasure to watch you fish mate ps that cheepio boat rod is quickly becoming a star ❤👍👌

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Leighton, I appreciate that. Haha it certainly is, it often out-fishes my other rods ha! Lovely spot, one of my favourites, just a nice part of the world. Hope all is good with you... cheers mate 👍

[@Paul_C.]

Cracking video Gareth, cheapy old boat rod taketh away, cheapy old boat rod giveth back. 😊

[@riversidewithme]

Haha thank you Paul. I enjoyed that session and it was nice to see a couple of bonus fish. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@scottkenny7661]

Great video as ever mate! Hell of a flounder that, well done 👍🏻 Strange how you get those moments isn’t it, just a little memory sparks all those feelings. Take care Gar, look forward to the next video 👍🏻

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Scott. I didn't expect anything to be honest and so it was nice to see a couple of bonus fish. Yes that Flounder was a proper chunk, we used to catch loads like that back in the day and I think that's why I probably got a little emotional at the end as Dad loved fishing for Flounder. Hope all is good with you mate, enjoy the weekend and tight lines! 👍🐟

[@savegsquad5372]

Nice one Gareth another cracking video, I, ll give you that conger, we all saw it, and yes dancing about on wet rocks can be lethal, I fell a few years back, opened my leg down to the bone. Got loads of memories of old fishing trips with people who are not with us anymore. Never forget. Well Gareth all the best from south west Wales. Have a great weekend. Ps come on Wales. 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you bud, appreciated as always. I hope that gout is easing up a little. Yes those rocks are very tricky, especially when wet and they've lost me a lot of fish over the years ha! Ouch, sounds like you picked up a nasty injury there, I bet that was painful when you fell! Great to keep the memories alive isn't it, always good to reminisce. You too, have a good one and enjoy the match 👍

[@tomharries847]

Just come across your channel and instantly liked and subscribed. My Dad, my fishing buddy passed away from pancreatic cancer on the 25th of February 2022 aged 64. I bought new fishing gear ready for 2022 but he was only diagnosed in December 2021. 8 weeks from diagnosis to him passing. It still hurts so much and I haven't been fishing since. I haven't used the new gear I bought, every time I plan to go out I back out because I get so upset. I feel like shit also because my Dad was so looking forward to our fishing trips we had planned.

[@riversidewithme]

I'm sorry to hear that Tom, it's never easy and I can appreciate how you're feeling. I didn't go fishing for a good few months after my Dad passed and the first one back was an emotional rollercoaster. It does get easier though, time really is a great healer. And of course, all of those great memories you have of the time spent with your Dad will last a lifetime and it's always nice to reminisce. I still have the occasional wobble when I'm out fishing but I guess that's to be expected. Maybe you can have a session soon now that Spring is approaching, you'll feel better for it afterwards. Thank you for becoming a channel member, it is appreciated. Cheers 👍

[@pawelskierski3803]

Another great episode,beautiful flounder congratulations.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Pawel, appreciated as always. Lovely Flounder wasn't it, I was happy with that one! Cheers for watching 👍

[@edstevens701]

As always fantastic video. Lovely flounder and that conger definitely counts.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Ed. I was chuffed with that Flounder, I don't catch many of those anymore. Hope you've been managing to get a few sessions in. Enjoy the weekend 👍

[@noelmckendry-yr9hc]

Great video again looking forward to seeing more and wee will gave you that one

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Noel, I appreciate it. A nice little session at a favourite mark of mine, I couldn't really complain. Cheers for watching 👍

[@kevinperrin3569]

Thanks for another great fishing video,love the warmth you exude. Lived in Swansea for a few years(92-2001) and fished the local marks, back home in Geordieland now and started fishing again. Keep up the good work my friend and tightlines.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Kevin, I appreciate that. It was a nice little session in fairness, I didn't expect to catch anything to be honest as it's been very quiet of late. I've never done any fishing up in the North East but some of the marks look great and I'm jealous ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@jamessexton9185]

Well done Gareth 👏

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you James. Shame I couldn't get the Conger on the bank but I guess there's always next time! Hope all is well, cheers 👍

[@Labraxsquad20]

With you here his memories can never be gone Gareth, and great effort on the fish.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you bud, I appreciate it! Yes you're right, those memories will last a lifetime, they are a source of inspiration. Cheers for watching 👍

[@HomeSickAlienJayman]

Excellent content Gareth as usual. Really enjoyed being out on another session with you. What a fat flounder that was. Keep it up mate.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Jay, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Cracking Flounder wasn't it, I don't catch many of those nowadays, they were very common when I was a kid. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@einsleystone1167]

Hi Gareth cracking video as all ways some nice fish there got to give you that conger nightmare trying to get that up on your own fare play you done well to get a video this week rain rain and more rain I'm ready for my holiday down Brixham tomorrow now all the best and look forward to the next one

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Einsley, I'm glad I went in the end, only decided to go the day before. Yes, trying to land those big Congers on those rocks is a nightmare, I've lost many over the years. This time tomorrow you'll be in Brixham, hope you have a good time and no doubt you'll get a few fish! Wish I was going ha, love it down there, just a nice place to be. Cheers as always and tight lines! 👍🐟

[@dd14748]

[@aj-de4pe]

Thanks for another enjoyable video Gareth

[@riversidewithme]

You're welcome bud, pleased you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍

[@mickhardstaff6605]

Another great video Garth thanks , at least the congar was nice enough to leave you the rod so it worked both ways, at least he hasn't got a hook rusting in his mouth . Can't believe you didn't have that flounder in the pan 😂 .

[@riversidewithme]

Ha yes, the rod just about survived! Yes you're right, it's never nice knowing that a hook is going to be stuck in the fish's mouth. Back in the day we used to keep a lot of Flounder but now I return them all, must be getting soft in my old age 😂. Cheers as always Mick, take it easy 👍

[@martynwright3398]

Great vid Gareth! Course you had the conger. You just saved yourself doing the messy, slimey bit! And possibly a broken ankle!!! Better safe than ouch! That cheapy old boat rod does you proud every time.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Martyn, I appreciate it. Aye you're not wrong there, I've come close many a time to breaking a bone or two on those rocks! It certainly does, often outfishes my two main rods ha! Enjoy the weekend 👍

[@meattasteslikemurder3707]

Nice flounder boss! Enjoyed this video, keep them coming

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks bud, pleased to hear that you enjoyed it, hopefully more to come soon with a bit of luck. Cheers for watching 👍

[@WilliamMackenzie-qt9mj]

As we say in Scotland,I’d follow the craws a hundred miles for a flounder like that 🤣🤣the conga is a given 👍,looking forward to the next one.

[@riversidewithme]

Haha very good William, I like that! I enjoyed the session, it's just a nice place to be and the fish are a bonus. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@user-fl1rn6qv8c]

[@riversidewithme]

You're welcome Paul, I'm pleased you enjoyed the video. Yes no doubt I'll bump into you at one of those marks. Thank you for watching, take care 👍

[@rogerfisher9128]

Good session. Unlucky with the conger, but a nice flounder 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks Roger, it was an enjoyable session in fairness, was lovely when the wind dropped. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@angusmichaelhawkins1268]

That conger was 100%, mate. And being as you would release it,I would say it was a bonus that it released itself. Great video Gareth. Cheers mate.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Angus, much appreciated. Yes I think you have a point there, was probably a good thing that it came off and released itself! A nice little session and it was lovely when the wind dropped. Enjoy the weekend 👍

[@michaelfewster]

Hi Gareth fantastic video what a stunning flounder & a super conger definitely add it you list that's yours all day long I thought you were in good spirits good to see you at your best oh & please don't hold your emotions in we don't mind we are all mates on this channel thanks nice one.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Michael, I appreciate your continued support. It was a lovely session, the wind dropped and a couple of bonus fish made an appearance, that Flounder was an old-school chunk, brought back some great memories and I think that's why I got a little emotional at the end...Dad loved his Flounder fishing. Cheers for watching, have a great weekend 👍

[@johntaylor4035]

Great session Gareth I’d give you the fish all day long 👍🏼

[@riversidewithme]

Beautiful video , that was a really large flounder , that might have been my tea ...As for getting emotional , absolutely nothing wrong with that .. Can't wait for next video , at your own pace .😊

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Andy, I appreciate it. Yes that Flounder was a chunk, like a blast from the past. I often used to keep them but I'm getting soft in my old age and I return them now. Aye that's it, I often get emotional when talking about Dad, it just kinda comes out unexpectedly. Enjoy the weekend 👍

[@Nicknofish]

Great video as always Gareth. If that was me m8 I would be glad the conger came off! That was one cracking flounder. Wow. Cheers for now.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Nick, much appreciated. Ha yes, I don't think you're alone there, lots would have been pleased that it came off! I was chuffed with that Flounder, a blast from the past that one! Cheers for watching, take it easy! 👍

Proper chunky flounder and absolutely am giving you the conger- we could see it clearly when you had the line in your hand! Also, keep the faith. Thanks for sharing your half day with us, love your knowledge, honesty, gsoh, emotions, the lot. You are what makes these videos entertaining, fish or not 😊 Take care of yourself too and look forward to the next one, wherever it may be 😁🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Patricia, appreciated as always. Yes I think about Dad a lot when I'm out fishing, lots of special memories. Nice little session in fairness and a couple of bonus fish turned up too, I couldn't complain. Hope all is well, take care 👍

[@snowyman5683]

Great video again Gareth, looked a bit cold mind, cracking flounder that mate and yes you can have the conger lol and as everyone knows all fish count double on a work day 😂 Take care pal and thanks for sharing it with us all 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Haha well I didn't know that fish count double on a work day but it sounds good to me 😂. Yes that North Easterly wind was biting but in fairness it completely dropped just after high water and it became very pleasant. A chunk of a Conger and an old-school Flounder, I was happy with that! Hope all is well Nigel...enjoy the weekend 👍

[@garethbodsworth5756]

[@stevebarr6510]

Great to see you at one of your regular spots, lots of memories for you, which is a big part of fishing for lots of us. Cracking flounder mate and we’ll definitely give you the conger, safely returned using the Plumb quick release method for conger wellbeing 😉. Brilliant Friday night watch, looking forward to your next outing. Suggestions for flounder, Loughor or Ferryside, which is near your Pilgrims Rest video and easy fishing with views of the castle.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Steve, I appreciate it. Yes it's one of my favourite spots, I just love being there and something often turns up. Yes I think my method of returning Conger is efficient and professional...that's what I keep telling myself anyway 😂. The Flounder was a great sight, used to catch loads of those back in the day but not that common around this way now, bit sad really. Both the Loughor and Ferryside are on my to-do list, I have fished the Loughor before but not for ages, lovely isn't it. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍

[@ianjames8794]

Nice Conger and Flounder Gareth. 🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks Ian. Was a pleasure being there, especially when that wind dropped down to nothing. Hope all is well, enjoy the weekend 👍

[@stephenwilkinson4214]

Hi Gareth … You talk quite a bit in your video’s about the wonderful memories you have of the hours spent fishing various venues with your Dad. You are very lucky to have all those memories and can reflect on good times. I lost my Dad last week and like you have lots of wonderful memories of time spent fishing with my Dad younger brother and mum to. I no in time it will be nice to return to those venues and reflect on better times and no doubt I will get emotional to. Nothing wrong with showing a of emotion mate we are both so lucky to have had such wonderful Dad’s … take care mate ❤🎣🎣

[@riversidewithme]

I'm very sorry to hear that Stephen. It sounds like you also have some great memories of spending time with your Dad and they will last a lifetime. Of course, it's not easy at first and I can appreciate what you are going through. Time is a great healer and it will get easier and when you're ready, you can indeed visit some of those places again and I'm sure your Dad will be looking down on you. Yes I agree, nothing wrong with a bit of emotion, it's all part of being human. Take it easy mate, look after yourself ❤️

[@mrskint55]

What a shame you didn’t land the conger ,I would say it still counts. Tight lines mate . Keep these videos coming please .

Nothing better than half day and an afternoon spent surrounded by nature. Great video again. The editing and pacing in these videos is top notch. Very watchable. The sound of the sea is so hypnotic.

[@riversidewithme]

Absolutely Paul, I agree with you there...being next to the water and surrounded by nature is a great tonic isn't it. Thank you, nice of you to say, the low light made filming a bit tricky but I just about managed it. Enjoy the weekend 👍

[@j.g.routley2442]

Another great watch mate & I agree, your Dad would be very proud....memories are something that can never be taken away from you.

Haha you're not wrong there Jon, I can't keep away from the mud, it's addictive! An enjoyable session in fairness, it was a pleasure being there and I was happy to get a couple of bonus fish, the Flounder was an old-school chunk! Yes you're right, those memories will last a lifetime and I love keeping them alive by fishing the marks that are special to me. Sounds like you've had a bit of a nightmare with all of the rain, can't be easy moving stock...I'm pleased that the video provided you with some chill time. Cheese as always, take care 👍

[@nicphillips302]

Great vid! Fantastic flounder, that one would have been coming home with me for tea. Keep the vids coming and tight lines 👍🏼

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Nic, appreciated as always. Yes we used to keep a few for the table back in the day, nice too. I'm getting soft in my old age and tend to return them nowadays. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@mwscuba]

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Mark, I appreciate that. Hopefully more to come soon with a bit of luck. Have a good weekend 🙂

[@boatfishingscottyano]

Great video again Gareth what a cracking flounder. I thought the cheapy boat rod was going in the water for a bit lol. Look forward to the next one

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you bud, always appreciated. Haha yes, I thought that too, I assumed it was a big Bass but when I lifted the rod I could tell it was a Conger. A bonus chunky Flounder too, I couldn't really complain. Cheers for watching 👍

[@steverees-el6jf]

Brilliant video once again Gareth much appreciated the time and effort that you put in. Some nice fish as well which is a bonus especially how the fishing has been lately it’s been hard. Some lovely scenery too looks like a lovely place to fish and obviously holds some cherished memories for you. Keep up the good work Gareth I always look out for your videos and thoroughly enjoy them.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Steve, I appreciate the kind words. I really enjoyed this session, it was beautiful when the wind dropped, pleasure being there. It was nice to get some bonus fish, I really wasn't expecting much at all, the Flounder was a lovely surprise. Yes this particular mark holds many good memories for me, I can still picture my Dad walking down the rocks to land the fish, great days they were! Hope all is good with you, have a nice weekend 👍

[@steverees-el6jf]

Great video Gareth. AHHHH...... shame about that conger coming off but hey that was a cracking flounder mate. Brilliant editing Gareth 👌

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Neil. Yes I was gutted that I couldn't get that Conger on the bank, it was a chunky old thing. But the Flounder made up for it, I was chuffed when I saw it emerge from the water! Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍

[@alexainley4436]

Great video mate. Absolutely cracking flounder as well. Some marks are special to us because of the memories they bring back. Have a good weekend bud and look forward to the next one.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Alex, I appreciate it. Yes you're spot on there and those memories will last forever. Such a mysterious mark, it can produce some nice fish from time to time and seeing that Flounder was a great sight! Thanks bud, you too...have a good one 👍

[@troywales983]

nice flounder ,.nice vid ,thanks .

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you bud, appreciated as always. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@bordersw1239]

Many years ago my cousin got a passion for fishing from the same spots you fish, led to a degree in marine biology and a rather convoluted story is now a multi millionaire. His discovery - whelks are very cheap in the U.K but a delicacy in Asian countries.

[@riversidewithme]

Ah right, interesting! It's surprising how things turn out, who'd have thought that the humble whelk could make someone a millionaire! Please can you tell your cousin that I need a new roof and some new fishing rods would be nice too haha! Thank you for watching 👍

[@carldawson832]

Eazy Gareth you ok pal, thanks for another cracking watch. Unlucky dropping ya eel but at least you dint have to mess about with unhooking it and getting lathered in slime. Lovely flounder I've had some stonkers the last couple of sessions as they are spawning in the humber now. All the best mate from GRIMSBY

[@riversidewithme]

Hiya Carl, I'm good thanks mate, I hope all is good with you. Ha yes that's it, I suppose you have a point there! Well done on getting some good Flounder of late, lovely fish aren't they, one of my favourite species. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍

[@7mightymouse3]

Nice one Gareth, lot to be said about casting over the fish 🤔great video as always. 👍👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Robert. Yes definitely, often is the case that I catch nothing at range, with all of the action being very close in, I've had so many sessions like that over the years. Cheers as always, take care 👍

[@rodders51]

Thank you for posting such lovely videos. I always look forward to your next one. Cracking flounder and yes, you can claim the conger! The cod have been very elusive this year so no shame in not picking one up there Keep up the great work Gareth

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Rod, appreciated as always. Yes I was chuffed with that Flounder, a proper old-school chunk! It was an enjoyable session in fairness, I just enjoy being there. Yes the Cod have been very few and far between, maybe we'll get a bit of a spring run of them. Cheers for watching, take care 👍
