Superb Sea Fishing at Nells Point in Barry!!

[@mattskuse9790]

Hi Gareth. Another superb video. I'm pushing 60, I have spent most of my life fishing the Bristol side of the channel. During the 80's I spent much of my time fishing the upper reaches of the channel and playing Rugby for Bristol. Against the likes of Cardiff, Newport, Swansea and Pontypool. You can only imagine the rivallery . So please take this as acompliment . From an English man to a Welsh man, I am a huge fan of your channel. Thank you and keep up the good work.❤

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Matt, appreciated as always. This is one of my favourite spots, many great memories from over the years. Not easy to fish but always a pleasure being there. I actually live very close to Pontypool's rugby ground and I remember those days when the rivalries were big news, the park was often packed on weekends which was great to see. No doubt you have fond memories of your playing days. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

[@CarlBrown-m3w]

Looks a good mark Gareth well done for persevering 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks Carl. Yes this is one of my favourite marks, I have many great memories. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍

[@WoodlandWalks]

Brilliant day there at Nell’s Point. Cracking fish at a beautiful fishing venue. I’m with you on the reminiscing Gareth. I view much of the present based on how I’ve always historically seen life. I hate change with a passion and find that I’ve come to value my past and the good things that I didn’t always appreciate at the time. As for the now, I’m picking up sea angling again after a 25 year absence. Your fantastic attitude and down to earth fishing approach has made me realise how much I’ve missed fishing. It was a big part of my life in late teens and early 20s Thanks again Gar.

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks Pete, I appreciate it. I love this spot, so many great memories, the place has meaning hence why I continue to go back. Yes I don't do change either, I'm very much a creature of habit and I often like to revisit my past as that's my happy place. Good that you're getting back into it, there will be many enjoyable sessions to come for you. Cheers as always 👍

Hi I have been following your program for quite some time now but not for as long as I have been fishing and there are three main things I that drew me back towards you 3 the fishing 2 the scenery shots and finally 1 is something that is special to me you speak of your dad in the past tense it was resentful I had been fishing at Dungeness and had the two zZipplex up and I had my dads rod and reel it was a 10ft peer rod made by leader I put a two hook flapper on and palled in two doggies witch seriously bent the rod as you have said great memories cheers steve man of Kent

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks for the message Steve, please to hear you're enjoying the videos, hopefully more to come soon. Yeah that's it, I like talking about Dad as it keeps those memories alive and I guess anglers such as yourself can relate to it. What is it with our dad's rods and them bending ha! I bet you thought there was something big on the end, although two doggies are quite weighty. I often use Dad's tackle and I keep his rigs in my rig wallet, although I won't use those incase I lose them! Cheers mate, enjoy the weekend 👍👍

[@stevebutton2456]

@@riversidewithme I’m hoping to get out this week to go fishing and like yourself I have been fishing for many years,more years then I wish to remember 50 plus years but there is a fault in my fishing. I am very neat and tide with my rigs and I like to use quality line and hooks. I like to keep my hooks as simple as possible I have four main rigs. Main one for Dungeness is my two hook pulley rig main hook 4.0 then 3.0 circle hook I also use a 2 hook flapper for other species hook size varies to where I fish I use a 2 hook down and a 2 hook short snude boom rig. For my reels I use Abu 6500 cts I also use a lot my red penn mag 3 thick spall I choose vercelli Continental 14ft I have custom zziplex very stout rods can bang them out for bigger species I also have Diawa and I do like to keep good freash bait native to areas but there issue don’t laugh I have never caugh a cod although I have caugh many great fish I have never caugh a cod I return all I can but have been known to take occasionally for the table. I come to Wales a lot as me and the wife have family there perhaps we might be able to meet for a coffee and a natter look forward to your next incounter on the screen cheers mate Steve I would appreciate if you could say I to joe on you next video my little grandson wish you all the best

[@mattcoates3243]

Fantastic video mate, absolutely chuffed for you! I could feel the excitement of catching that cod, brilliant… 😅 Spent many a cold nights looking for a beut, and will spend plenty more. Nice when it all comes together. That pouting was a cracker as well.! Your on a good run mate long may it continue. Thanks for the video. Enjoy your Sunday. See you on the next adventure 👍🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Matt, it certainly was an enjoyable session. Not an easy mark but it can reward you and often produces some nice surprises. Used to be popular back in the day but hardly gets fished now, usually have the place to myself. The big Pouting was a blast from the past, made my day that and getting the Codling on the ebb was superb...classic Conger bite but when I saw the gold bar break the surface my eyes lit up! Hopefully we'll get a good run of them, does seem to be a few about at the moment, although that might be the only one I get this Winter ha! Yeah I have caught a few fish of late and so that blank can't be too far away now, back to normal soon no doubt 🤣. Cheers mate, same to you...enjoy 👍👍

I was born in Barry, grew up in Sully, Cogan and Dinas. Left in the 80s, live overseas now. Fished Jackson’s bay, penarth pier, sully island etc with my mates, we were young lads we’d cycle down. Fished charter boats and fly fishing lakes with my Dad who I miss greatly. Great session and great vid, cheers.

Great to see that codling Gareth. What a great session. Like you, I take comfort in living in the past…..often find myself thinking about years gone by.

I am instantly taken back 40 years and it truly brings a smile to my face. Keep the memories coming mate 👍

Thank you mate, appreciated as always. It was a really enjoyable session, a few different species and plenty of bites.

Some great sized fish there Gareth. I don't think I have ever seen you catch a pouting that big before. It looked huge!! Don't worry about reminiscing. It's part of what makes your channel so enjoyable to watch. I don't think there is anything wrong with "living in the past" to some degree. The past helps us inform our future. I am one of your viewers who often comes home from work, sits down and watches one of your videos to release work related stress. It works! Without realising it, I often find myself smiling when watching your videos. If I was a little closer, I would be happy to do the videoing for you.

I was down at Brixham 10/ days ago but never got a sniff. Like you I fished from the breakwater . It was on the ebb tide. It was my first time fishing Brixham, so next time I go I will fish on the floor and into the dark. Thanks for the Vids. Mandy I'll catch (next time) cheers. Blood from london.

[@riversidewithme]

Shame you didn't getting anything mate but like you said, next time fish the flood into darkness and you will get fish, I'm certain of that. The bottom fishing tends to produce as soon as the light drops. I'll hopefully be back down there in January for a few days, see what's about then. Cheers for watching 👍👍

Hi Gareth I found your channel this morning and I really enjoyed the video I also suffer with Stress and Anxiety and it's great to see someone that enjoys nature I think it's the only thing that keeps me sane. I now live on the east coast of Scotland but was born in Neath and used to fish a lot on the Swansea wall for codling. If there was a way to get a chat with you I might have something that might interest you for June of next year.Cheers Vernon.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Vernon, much appreciated, pleased to hear you enjoyed the video. I love Nell's Point, an old favourite of mine, usually produces a few fish. Yeah definitely, I'm the same and being next to the water is what it's all about for me nowadays, the fish are a nice bonus. I bet the east coast of Scotland is a nice part of the world and I suspect the fishing is quite good too! I've not fished down Swansea way for a few months now but I'll hopefully be back down there soon! Cheers for watching, have a good week 👍👍
