Thank you Roy, appreciated as always. Ha yes, I'm like a big kid when I get a bite, I've always been the same! It was nice to see the Bass, I've not caught one for a while. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Thanks Les, it was certainly an enjoyable day out. Bit warm but after I caught that Bass I didn't really care about the sweat anymore ha. Love it down there, something always seems to happen. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Thank you Jeff. That's what's it's all about isn't it, being next to the water and being surrounded by nature, can't beat it. Hope all is well, cheers as always 👍👍
Ah thank you Steve, I appreciate the kind words. This was an enjoyable one to make, seeing those birds on the line made the day for me. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Thank you mate, appreciated as always. An amazing site wasn't it, I thought I was seeing things when they landed on my line! A lovely spot, one of my favourites and I can't wait to go back. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Just love the enthusiasm, like a big kid in a sweet shop. Just like me. Cracking session. Another great video, keep them coming. All the best from South West Wales 👍
Haha thanks mate, I certainly am like a big kid in a sweet shop, especially when that rod tip starts bouncing! I enjoyed this session, seeing those birds on my line was just incredible, I'll never forget that! Cheers as always, take it easy 👍👍
You're welcome Andrew, glad you enjoyed. Haha yes, 8 hours of filming in the bright sunshine caused those tan lines, thankfully the aloe vera gel worked a treat when I got in. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Thank you Simon. It was nice to see the Bass, I always enjoy catching them. Few missed fish too but that's nothing new for me ha! Cheers for watching! 👍👍
You're welcome Paul, glad you enjoyed it. A nice session that, was a pleasure being there, seeing the birds on the line was just incredible. Thank you, jobs in the garden for me this weekend, hope you have a good one too! 👍👍
Hi Gareth another excellent video great to see your enthusiasm when fish on something we never lose good to see long rods came in handy for the birds I fish estuary most of the time with two good rods & a short cheap rod catch more on cheap rod just the way it is thanks for all the effort you put in to the video on such a hot day
Thank you Michael, appreciated as always. I enjoyed making this one and seeing the birds landing on the line made the session very special. Yes same with me, I catch more fish on the little boat rod than I do on my two main beachcasters and the fish are usually very close in. It was certainly a warm one, I felt a little jaded having spent 8 hours filming in that sun ha! Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Always top class production, you make some cracking videos, the fishing is a bonus, that little boat rod snags some bonus fish. Thank you for making this, tight lines.
Ah thank you mate, I appreciate it. I do my best to make a nice watch and hope that it comes out ok. I don't think my videos are that good to be honest. Ha yes, it does catch some fish, it's doing well at the moment is the little boat rod. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Brilliant video Gareth as always. Cracking bass that one mate. Unlucky on the lost fish but at least you caught. Great scenery footage again mate and those birds on your line was a magical sight. Can't wait for the next one 😃
Thank you Neil, always a pleasure. It certainly was a great day and seeing those birds on my line made the session. Was great to get the Bass, been a while since I caught a decent one. Ha yes,the missed fish are becoming a common feature of my videos, quite comical really! Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching! 👍👍
Thanks Ed, appreciated as always. Seeing those Swallows on my fishing line made the session for me, I couldn't believe it. Was great to see the Bass too, not caught a decent one for a while. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
It certainly was Andrew, to say I was sweating would be an understatement ha! I thought the camera was going to melt! Nice session though, thoroughly enjoyable in fairness. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Well in mate, great session in so many ways! A lovely sea bass, and a good sun tan on those arms 😅. Look forward to the next one. Enjoy your weekend mate 👌
Thank you Matt. It was a great day, missed a few fish as per usual but couldn't complain really. Seeing the birds on the line was amazing and I was pleased to get the Bass, it was in perfect condition. There were fish everywhere on the surface and some of them were crackers, just one of those days. Cheers mate, you too (what's left of it anyway) 👍👍
Thank you Matt. Those birds on the line was an awesome site and that made the session for me. Was great to get the Bass too, it's been a while since I caught a decent one. A few missed fish but that's a common occurrence for me when filming ha! Nice day out though, couldn't complain. Hope all is good with you mate, take it easy 👍👍
Thank you Tracey, appreciated as always. Ha yes, I'm like a big kid when I get a bite, I've always been the same! A great day, seeing the birds on the line was amazing. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Another truly wonderful video. Beautiful bass those scenery shots fantastic and so calming you can close your eyes and drift away just perfect. Once again thank you so much for taking the time to do your video's. Regards to the family
Thank you for the kind words Bob, appreciated as always. It was a cracking day for it, shame I had to go home as it was a pleasure being there. Lovely spot, one of my favourites. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. A great day out and I think I enjoyed it more knowing that I was off work the next day ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Thank you Alex, always a pleasure. It was great to see the Bass, been a while since I caught a decent one. Ha yes, the little boat rod seems to be producing the goods at the moment. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Another fabulous video Gareth, I thought we were going to get a cowboy film when I heard all the woohoo's in the intro 😂 To see all the swallows perching on your line was a sight to behold, what beautiful creatures. Amazing shots as we've come to expect. Enjoy your day off mate and have a great weekend 👍🏻
Haha thanks Steve, I do get a little excited when I catch a fish and I'm the same when I get a bite! A great day in fairness, it was a pleasure to film the session, things went right for a change. Couldn't believe it when those birds landed on my line, a very special sight indeed. The Bass was in perfect condition, took a little while to recover but eventually swam off lovely, fighting fit. An enjoyable day out and I couldn't really complain. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme Thanks bud, yes, the bass was a beauty, that cheapy boat rod is your lucky charm mate, saved by the bell as they say 😉 You made a very inspirational quote too and I know what inspired it, good luck to you mate, you're one of the good uns.
Thank you Richard, appreciated as always. I sometimes take the occasional fish for the table but I fancied putting this one back in. Hope all is well, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Well done mate, stunner of a bass and cracking photography. I caught a double figure smooth hound on Tuesday, pulled my tripod over. And forgot my phone! Left it at home! 😂
Thank you Rob, much appreciated. It was a great day in fairness, I couldn't complain. Ah well done on the double figure smooth hound, I bet that was a cracker! You must have been gutted when you realised you forgot your phone, always the way isn't it! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
You really nailed with this one Gareth! You really know how to make the ordinary seem that bit special. And those birds on your line, that was really special! (looked like Martins to me, will have to have another look on the big screen)Lets have more please. Gordon.
Thank you Gordon, appreciated as always. I enjoyed this one, the filming flowed for a change ha! Yes I initially thought they were Martins too but I could see red on some of them and so my thinking was that they were Swallows but yeah, they could well have been House Martins. A great day all round and I really couldn't grumble, the Bass was a nice little bonus. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Absolutely fabulous video Gareth, Nice Bass , a few that got away , again great scenic shots and to cap it off the birds on your line , I won't mention my fishing exploits at the mo but have to say last week was out on the boat in the middle of a lake an the heavens opened, soaked through but still enjoyed it even though we blanked yet again , Look forward to the next video , cheers .
Thank you Philip, appreciated as always. It was certainly a great day for many different reasons, couldn't complain really. The birds on the line was a magical site and the Bass was a great bonus. Shame you got a soaking when on the boat, good job it's the Summer ha! You'll be able to tell that story for years to come, all good fun. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Thank you Jay, I appreciate it. A great sight wasn't it, I doubt I will ever see that again. Yes same here, being surrounded by nature and the water is what it's all about for me nowadays, nice to get away from it all. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Thanks Al, appreciated as always. Beautiful mark in fairness, always something to see down there and I'm very much looking forward to going back. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Ha yes, it was certainly a warm one and that t-shirt never stopped sticking to me ha! A great day though, seeing those birds on my line was amazing and the Bass was a great bonus. I love that mark, something usually happens. Thanks Leighton, take it easy 👍👍
Hey brother what a sight, them Swallows man that was Awesome to see, cracking Bass buddy, last time we was there was our Christmas vid, and blanked lol, awesome vid as always buddy, love to Cath n fam, see you out there X
Cheers Matt. An amazing sight wasn't it, I couldn't believe what I was seeing to be honest. Yes I remember watching your Christmas video down there, looked like a cold one that day! Lovely mark, the wildlife and scenery are superb, especially at this time of year. Thanks son, same to you and yours...see you on the beach! 👍👍
Well done Gareth great video. I have seen birds land on the rod tip before but never on the line, a great sight to see. Good to see a Bass being caught and a few near misses, great sceanery, great weather and a great video. Keep up the good work as yours are the best fishing videos on youtube by far and very enjoyable to watch. Best Regrads and looking forward to the next one.
Ah thank you Rob, I appreciate the kind words. I don't think my videos are the best but nice of you to say. This was a great day and the filming flowed which made a nice change for me ha! Lovely spot in fairness, just a nice place to be. Seeing those birds on the line was unbelievable and I doubt I will ever see that again. A nice bonus Bass and a few missed fish as per usual! Hope all is good with you, have a nice weekend 👍👍
Thank you Wayne, I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video. Those birds were amazing, that sight will live with me forever. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍👍

You're welcome mate, pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making this one, I guess I felt a little inspired after seeing the birds perching on the line, amazing that was! A lovely spot and it's always a pleasure being there, especially when the weather is hood. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍👍

Well done on your first Turbot, cracking stuff! Beautiful looking fish aren't they, quite strong that too, hopefully the first of many for you. Hope all is good with you bud, cheers for watching 👍👍
Another wonderfully shot video Gareth. Amazing wildlife and scenery. All topped off with a Lovely Bar of Silver. A just reward for your hard work and perseverance. Keep em coming fella and as always thanks for sharing.
Thank you Richie. It was a great day in fairness and it was a shame I had to leave. As you say the wildlife was impressive, seeing the birds perching on my fishing line was amazing, I'll never forget that. Was great to see the Bass, lovely bonus that, I always enjoy catching them (not that I catch many ha) Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Thank you Ben, appreciated as always. The birds were awesome weren't they, I couldn't believe it. The Bass was a lovely bonus, it was in perfect condition. Hope all is good with you, cheers 👍👍
Me neither mate, I couldn't believe what I was seeing to be honest, just gutted that I couldn't zoom in enough but there we are. A nice session and a lovely bonus Bass. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Another great watch Gareth!! Just got back in from feeding stock & enjoying a brew watching your latest trip out. Cracking bass on the 'sleeper' rod, always worth chucking one in close buddy... shame about the congers but you managed to get them close before they slipped the small hooks, so for me, it's a result!! Right back to work, I just got a new lake to look after & a new pup to train up, so busy few months ahead!! Stay safe my friend & look forward to your next video....All the best, Jon.
Sounds like you had an early start this morning Jon, although I guess you prefer that when the weather is warm. The new lake sounds interesting, I quite fancy the idea of having a job that involves looking after a lake. Thank you, it was a great day in fairness and seeing those birds on the line will live with me for a long time! Was good to get the Bass, I've not caught a decent one in ages, it was in perfect condition. Yeah shame about the missed fish, although that usually happens when I'm filming ha, too busy faffing about with the camera. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Thank you David. I guess I appreciate the simple things in life, being next to the water usually does the trick. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍👍
I stepped away from fishing and haven’t been back for a few years. Watching your videos has really inspired me to start again. Your passion and ethos is much the same as my own, and you have reminded me of that. I feel quite emotional seeing you get so excited when the fish are on. I feel really happy watching your videos, I’ve just checked out my gear and will be fishing again soon, only I will be the other side of the channel from you. “Your joy is my joy”. Rob M.
Thank you Rob, much appreciated. I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos and it's great to hear that you'll be making a fishing comeback...no doubt many enjoyable sessions in front of you! Cheers for watching 👍
Lovely video Gareth i really enjoy all of it, filming was great 👍. Im afraid to admit it but i would have took that bass for the table. Thanks a lot cheers bud
Thank you John, nice to hear from you as always. Nothing wrong with taking a fish for the table bud, I just fancied putting this one back. Hope all is good with you, have a good weekend 👍👍

Thank you Andrew, I appreciate the kind words mate. It was an enjoyable session and seeing the birds on the line was just amazing. A nice bonus Bass and a few missed fish, couldn't complain really. Lovely spot, just a nice place to be. Ah shame about the weed down at Ogmore, I wonder why it was that bad. Well done on getting the hound though, blank beaten son! Hope all is good with you, have a nice weekend 👍👍
Thank you Mike. Yes definitely, I don't think I will ever see that again, unbelievable. A great day at a lovely mark, I couldn't grumble. Hope all is well, cheers for watching 👍👍

Top video as always mate and a cracking bass to go with it. Not sure ive seen you that excited on video before lol. Chuffed for you it was a cracker, roll on the next sesh 👍🏻 All the best
Thank you Scott, nice day out that was, few missed fish but there we are. Ha yes, I do get a little over excited sometimes and it's been ages since I caught a decent Bass! That rod cost 7 quid from Lidl, Dad bought it about 12 years ago an it's still going strong, unbelievable really! Hope you're well mate, have a good weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme funny you should say that, ive heard people talking about lidls fishing gear lately and that they cant fault it. Cheers mate, enjoy yours aswell 👍🏻
Thanks Dale, I appreciate it. Lovely place isn't it, the wildlife usually puts on a good show. The aloe vera gel worked a treat when I got in, thankfully! Cheers for watching 👍👍
Hi mate it’s not about quantity its quality and a one fish and a cracking bass happy days didn’t have the sun cream on then haha great video again Gareth as always looking forward to the next video
Yes mate, I agree. It was in perfect condition, a lovely fish. Was a great day all round, couldn't fault it. I slapped on raw aloe vera gel when I got home and that did the trick ha! Cheers as always bud, take it easy 👍👍
Just watched your video, brilliant as ever Gareth. Beautiful bass! And those little birds on your line😂 we've been down carmarthen Bay in Kidwelly for a week, but my husband didn't catch any fish, but he enjoyed it. Hope you had factor 50 on, you looked as if you had caught the sun. Look forward to next video, take care!
Thank you Patricia, it was a very pleasant session. The birds on my line was an amazing site, I'll probably never see that again. Was good to get the Bass as I've not caught a decent one for a while. It was a little warm to say the least and when I got home I slapped on raw aloe vera gel and that did the trick ha! Hope you had a nice time down in Kidwelly, nice part of the world. Until the next one, take care 👍👍
Great edit m8 👌and those birds purching on your line was awsome never seen anything like it 😊and I'm recovering well thank you m8,thanks for asking in the last comment I made I forgot to reply sorry but much appreciated 🙌keep the edits coming and continue to be blessed by our stunning coastline 🙏
Thank you Carl, appreciated as always. It was a great day in fairness and seeing the birds perching on the line made the session for me, couldn't believe it! A nice bonus Bass and of course, the missed fish ha! Pleased to hear that you're on the mend, good stuff... you'd better start making some rigs as you'll be making your fishing comeback soon!! Cheers for watching and take it easy! 👍👍
I used to take quite a few fish for the table but nowadays I return the majority of them. Although there's nothing wrong with taking the odd fish home. Yes the cheapy old boat rod often saves the day ha!
Well done for another superb video Gareth. I could have done with your cheapy old boat rod to stop me blanking this week 😂 A lovely bass for you and nature all around. Beautiful shots, thank you 😊
Thank you Andy, I appreciate it. Ha yes, the cheapy old boat rod has been producing the goods of late! It was a great day, seeing those birds on my line was very special. Unlucky on the blanks this week, although I wouldn't worry as I usually blank!! Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Another cracker of a vid Gareth top quality What a bass stunning fish and great to see the fantastic care you took of it to get it back safely well done Dont keep many fish myself but may have been tempted to take that one for the table. Top content keep up the good work and untill the next one "Take care and all the best" 🫡
Thank you Byron, nice of you to say. It was a great day in fairness and I was pleased to get the bonus Bass, they're such a beautiful fish. Missed a few also but that usually happens when I'm filming, too busy faffing about with the camera. I keep the occasional fish for the table but these days I return the majority, I think I'm getting soft in my old age ha! Hope all is well, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
That was a very nice looking bass. Shame about those 2 that came off at the last minute but that is one of fishing's frustrations I suppose. Looks like you have been getting a bit of sun over there just looking at the tan lines on your arms. Once again, another enjoyable video. Thanks Gareth.
Thank you David. Yes the Bass was in perfect condition, such a beautiful fish aren't they. I should have had four fish that day but I've come to accept that missing fish is always going to happen when filming...that's my excuse anyway ha! Yes it's been very warm over here during the past few weeks, was 28 degrees when I filmed this one. Mind you, could do with a drop of rain now, everything is very dry. Hope all is good with you, have a nice weekend 👍👍
Thank you Ian, appreciated as always. It was a great day in fairness, seeing those birds on the line was an amazing sight. Cheers for watching, hopefully more to come soon 👍👍
As always Gareth brilliant great to watch I’m watching this on my holiday in the USA New Jersey my American friends and family also think it’s grey we’ll done🇱🇷
Ah thank you Kev, I appreciate it. Lovely spot in fairness, there's usually something to see down there when it comes to the wildlife. Hope you're having a great holiday, enjoy! 👍👍
A real pleasure as always, as we say in reelminds theres more to fishing than catching.. being out is all that matters and making memoryies to relive when your old.. with lots of surprises and plenty of laughs.. thats what truly maks it all worth while.. even if you blank its the liven memorys made in peace that matter most ❤
Thank you mate, appreciated as always. This was a nice session, it was a pleasure being there and the Bass was a great bonus. Yes definitely, spending a few hours next to the water often works wonders, that's what it's all about and the memories created will last a lifetime as you say. Hope all is well, cheers for watching 👍👍
Hi Gareth ... hope all’s well with you mate. Really enjoyed the video as always. Looked like you had Cracking day out so much going on, amazing to see all those birds on your line. I remember fly fishing for brownies on my local river and had a kingfisher land on my rod tip, beautiful bird. Old Cheapie boat rod done the business again, lovely Bass. Thanks so much for sharing Gareth, take care mate 👍🎣🎣
Thank you Stephen. I enjoyed this session, was a pleasure to be there. Seeing those birds on the line will live with me forever, an amazing sight. I bet you were shocked when the Kingfisher landed on your rod tip, that's awesome! The Bass was a lovely Bonus, I've not caught one for a while and so I was a little excited ha! The cheapy old boat is on form at the moment, let's hope it continues. I'm good thanks mate, hope you are too, take it easy 👍👍
Thank you Carl, I remember this day very well. I filmed it on a Saturday and so I probably did have a beer or two when I got home ha! Cheers as always 👍
Hi Gareth. I love to watch your video's. I lost my dad 25 years ago. And until 3 weeks ago had not fished. So i tried the light house . And caught my first fish. Thanks for showing me how to regain the bug.
Hi Paul, nice to hear from you again. I'm pleased to hear that you've started fishing again and well done on catching a fish, that's great. I think fishing is often in the blood and we always go back to it, despite how long the break has been. I bet you have some great memories of the time you and your Dad spent together. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
You definitely capture the relaxing atmosphere of fishing . I liked your quote as well. I thought of one the other day whilst walking the dog on a perfect summers evening . “ When you find yourself in a moment of peace , you know your on the right path “. Tight lines and best of luck to you mate 👍🏼
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. I try my best to make a relaxing watch and hope that it turns out ok. I enjoyed this one, seeing the birds on my line made the session for me, a truly great sight. Ah that's a nice quote...I may have to steal that one off you ha! Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Gareth you are an absolute star, excellent video which I will also remember for the swallows as well as your care returning the bass. BTW I am chucking my beachcasters away and getting a boat rod. Take care
Thank you Robert, appreciated as always. Yes, the Swallows on the line was an amazing sight and I doubt that I will ever see that again. A nice bonus Bass too, I couldn't really complain, a enjoyable day out. Well my beachcasters have already been binned, tatty old boat rods all the way from now on ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Haha 8 hours of filming in that sunshine cause those lines 🤣. Ah yes, I love the Goldcrest, stunning birds. Sometimes see a couple inbetween my conifers but not often. Hope all is well, thanks for watching Richard 👍👍
Thanks Brian. Yeah that's the natural colour of the water, it's a muddy estuary, we don't get clear water around here. Although like everywhere nowadays, there's a bit of rubbish out there which is sad. Cheers 👍
I get a lot of goldfinches and a few chaffinches in my garden, and have only seen a bullfinch a few times. Those house martins on your line, i've never seen anything like that. Nice bass and all on a short broomstick.
Thanks bud, it was nice to get a Bass on the broomstick, I seem to catch more on that than I do on my beachcasters ha! Couldn't believe it when they were perching on my line, a truly great site. I love Goldfinches and Chaffinches, good that you get them in your garden. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍👍
Another cracking video Gareth, what a day to be out fishing and enjoying the surroundings and the wonderful sights that nature has to offer, Well done on the bass pal, oh and with those birds on your line are you claiming a “perch” 😂
Thanks Nigel, it was a great day for it, stunning place and there's always something to see as the wildlife is impressive. The Bass was a lovely bonus and as usual, I missed a few fish! Claiming a 'perch' haha...I knew there was a reason that you never became a professional comedian 🤣. Cheers as always mate, have a good weekend 👍👍
Great Vlog, I used to fish the Ogmore deeps and all around Porth Cawl way back in the 70s-80s and I wish TH-cam with all the info existed back then. I'm a new subscriber and look forward to new vlogs and I shall watch your previous ones.
Thank you Brian, I appreciate it. Yes I like fishing Ogmore Deeps and the Porthcawl area myself, although I've not been down that way for a few months. Cheers for watching, hopefully more to come 👍👍
Another good video Gareth, nice little bass there mate and unlucky on dropping the others. Have you thought about using a carp rod for the mullet ?? Just a thought, look forward to next video mate. Marc
Thank you Marc. I enjoyed this one, a great day out. I was pleased to get the Bass as I've not caught one for a while, it was in perfect condition. I tend to use my John Wilson Avon rod when fishing for the Mullet, that seems to do the job well, although my favourite Mullet spot is closed off at the moment which is a shame. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍👍
Thank you Sam, appreciated as always. I enjoyed making this one, was a bit hot but seeing those birds and the Bass made me feel better ha! I'm sure that could be arranged, no problem. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
First time i fished that exact mark in almost the exact spot was in late 80,s cought my best shore cought bass 7lb must ave fished it hundreds of time i,ve always done best there sept oct on a 12m tide ish incidently we call that spot keaty,s back in the day the local farmer who rented the land off the steel works was named keats hence keaty,s....great vid 🏴👍
Thanks Daz, much appreciated. Sounds like you have some good memories of fishing at this spot, can't argue with a Bass of 7lbs, lovely fish! Ah right, I didn't know that it was known as Keaty's back in the day, I guess you learn something new everyday! I love the place, I don't catch many fish there but something always seems to turn up and it's where I caught my PB Cod a few years back. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hey Gareth I wonder if you are loosing the fish because you loose tension when walking down the rocks to words the shore line. Food for thought!! Thanks for sharing!
Yes them all sat on your line amazing .
Thanks Gareth showing it as it is.
You're welcome Roy. It was an enjoyable session at a lovely location. Cheers for watching, take care👍👍

That's what good on your vids, back to nature and total enjoyment. Fish are the icing on the cake with a day out out like yours.
Thank you Jeff. That's what's it's all about isn't it, being next to the water and being surrounded by nature, can't beat it. Hope all is well, cheers as always 👍👍
Another brilliant video and a lovely bass for your troubles 👌
Thanks mate, much appreciated. An enjoyable day out in fairness, I love it down there. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍

Awesome as always Gareth

Just love the enthusiasm, like a big kid in a sweet shop. Just like me. Cracking session. Another great video, keep them coming. All the best from South West Wales 👍
Haha thanks mate, I certainly am like a big kid in a sweet shop, especially when that rod tip starts bouncing! I enjoyed this session, seeing those birds on my line was just incredible, I'll never forget that! Cheers as always, take it easy 👍👍
Nice one Gareth mate! Beautiful release also. Keep them coming 👍👍

Thanks Gareth - another great one - proper south wales tan/burn.
You're welcome Andrew, glad you enjoyed. Haha yes, 8 hours of filming in the bright sunshine caused those tan lines, thankfully the aloe vera gel worked a treat when I got in. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
great bass mate ,what a monster.
Good Bass great video well done Gareth
Thank you Simon. It was nice to see the Bass, I always enjoy catching them. Few missed fish too but that's nothing new for me ha! Cheers for watching! 👍👍
Thank you for the video much appreciated and enjoy appreciate it and enjoy have a good weekend.
You're welcome Paul, glad you enjoyed it. A nice session that, was a pleasure being there, seeing the birds on the line was just incredible. Thank you, jobs in the garden for me this weekend, hope you have a good one too! 👍👍
Hi Gareth another excellent video great to see your enthusiasm when fish on something we never lose good to see long rods came in handy for the birds I fish estuary most of the time with two good rods & a short cheap rod catch more on cheap rod just the way it is thanks for all the effort you put in to the video on such a hot day
Thank you Michael, appreciated as always. I enjoyed making this one and seeing the birds landing on the line made the session very special. Yes same with me, I catch more fish on the little boat rod than I do on my two main beachcasters and the fish are usually very close in. It was certainly a warm one, I felt a little jaded having spent 8 hours filming in that sun ha! Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Top quality again mate
Thank you Andy, always a pleasure. Have a good weekend 👍👍
Always top class production, you make some cracking videos, the fishing is a bonus, that little boat rod snags some bonus fish. Thank you for making this, tight lines.
Ah thank you mate, I appreciate it. I do my best to make a nice watch and hope that it comes out ok. I don't think my videos are that good to be honest. Ha yes, it does catch some fish, it's doing well at the moment is the little boat rod. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Really fantastic video Gareth. Thoroughly enjoyed . Brilliant stuff !
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. I enjoyed making this one, things went well for a change ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Brilliant video Gareth as always. Cracking bass that one mate. Unlucky on the lost fish but at least you caught. Great scenery footage again mate and those birds on your line was a magical sight. Can't wait for the next one 😃
Thank you Neil, always a pleasure. It certainly was a great day and seeing those birds on my line made the session. Was great to get the Bass, been a while since I caught a decent one. Ha yes,the missed fish are becoming a common feature of my videos, quite comical really! Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching! 👍👍
Another great video, lovely bass and the swallows were amazing, never seen that before
Thanks Ed, appreciated as always. Seeing those Swallows on my fishing line made the session for me, I couldn't believe it. Was great to see the Bass too, not caught a decent one for a while. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Brilliant video,it did look hot,
It certainly was Andrew, to say I was sweating would be an understatement ha! I thought the camera was going to melt! Nice session though, thoroughly enjoyable in fairness. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Well in mate, great session in so many ways! A lovely sea bass, and a good sun tan on those arms 😅. Look forward to the next one. Enjoy your weekend mate 👌
Thank you Matt. It was a great day, missed a few fish as per usual but couldn't complain really. Seeing the birds on the line was amazing and I was pleased to get the Bass, it was in perfect condition. There were fish everywhere on the surface and some of them were crackers, just one of those days. Cheers mate, you too (what's left of it anyway) 👍👍
Well done Gareth, great session and a great bass. You don't see things like those birds very often.
As always a pleasure watching, mate. 👍🏻
Thank you Matt. Those birds on the line was an awesome site and that made the session for me. Was great to get the Bass too, it's been a while since I caught a decent one. A few missed fish but that's a common occurrence for me when filming ha! Nice day out though, couldn't complain. Hope all is good with you mate, take it easy 👍👍
@@riversidewithme If you ever fancy a collaboration mate, drop me a message 👍🏻
Fantastic video, your enthusiasm made us smile, totally know the feeling when you've got that fish on, brilliant!
Thank you Tracey, appreciated as always. Ha yes, I'm like a big kid when I get a bite, I've always been the same! A great day, seeing the birds on the line was amazing. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Another truly wonderful video. Beautiful bass those scenery shots fantastic and so calming you can close your eyes and drift away just perfect. Once again thank you so much for taking the time to do your video's. Regards to the family
Thank you for the kind words Bob, appreciated as always. It was a cracking day for it, shame I had to go home as it was a pleasure being there. Lovely spot, one of my favourites. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Another enjoyable video once again. Keep up the good work and tighter lines next time.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. A great day out and I think I enjoyed it more knowing that I was off work the next day ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Cracking bass mate and what a beautiful day. Boat rod comes in with the goods again. Look forward to the next
Thank you Alex, always a pleasure. It was great to see the Bass, been a while since I caught a decent one. Ha yes, the little boat rod seems to be producing the goods at the moment. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Another fabulous video Gareth, I thought we were going to get a cowboy film when I heard all the woohoo's in the intro 😂
To see all the swallows perching on your line was a sight to behold, what beautiful creatures.
Amazing shots as we've come to expect.
Enjoy your day off mate and have a great weekend 👍🏻
Haha thanks Steve, I do get a little excited when I catch a fish and I'm the same when I get a bite! A great day in fairness, it was a pleasure to film the session, things went right for a change. Couldn't believe it when those birds landed on my line, a very special sight indeed. The Bass was in perfect condition, took a little while to recover but eventually swam off lovely, fighting fit. An enjoyable day out and I couldn't really complain. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme
Thanks bud, yes, the bass was a beauty, that cheapy boat rod is your lucky charm mate, saved by the bell as they say 😉
You made a very inspirational quote too and I know what inspired it, good luck to you mate, you're one of the good uns.
@@TessTickles00 Ha yes, the cheapy old boat rod is saving me at the moment, hopefully it will continue to be my lucky charm! 👍
Another cracking video thanks for shareing..
You're welcome William, glad you enjoyed. A nice day, a nice session...couldn't fault it. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Well done boss top angling i would have been tempted to eat that big bass!
Thank you Richard, appreciated as always. I sometimes take the occasional fish for the table but I fancied putting this one back in. Hope all is well, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Well done mate, stunner of a bass and cracking photography. I caught a double figure smooth hound on Tuesday, pulled my tripod over. And forgot my phone! Left it at home! 😂
Thank you Rob, much appreciated. It was a great day in fairness, I couldn't complain. Ah well done on the double figure smooth hound, I bet that was a cracker! You must have been gutted when you realised you forgot your phone, always the way isn't it! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
You really nailed with this one Gareth! You really know how to make the ordinary seem that bit special. And those birds on your line, that was really special! (looked like Martins to me, will have to have another look on the big screen)Lets have more please. Gordon.
Thank you Gordon, appreciated as always. I enjoyed this one, the filming flowed for a change ha! Yes I initially thought they were Martins too but I could see red on some of them and so my thinking was that they were Swallows but yeah, they could well have been House Martins. A great day all round and I really couldn't grumble, the Bass was a nice little bonus. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Love the enthusiasm and the sun tanned arms 😊great video ❤
Thanks Dave, I enjoyed this one, a great day out. Ha yes, the Aloe Vera gel came in handy when I got home! Cheers for watching 👍👍
Absolutely fabulous video Gareth, Nice Bass , a few that got away , again great scenic shots and to cap it off the birds on your line , I won't mention my fishing exploits at the mo but have to say last week was out on the boat in the middle of a lake an the heavens opened, soaked through but still enjoyed it even though we blanked yet again , Look forward to the next video , cheers .
Thank you Philip, appreciated as always. It was certainly a great day for many different reasons, couldn't complain really. The birds on the line was a magical site and the Bass was a great bonus. Shame you got a soaking when on the boat, good job it's the Summer ha! You'll be able to tell that story for years to come, all good fun. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Well done Craig amazing bass !!!
Thank you Steve, much appreciated. A nice day, a nice session. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍👍
Such a special thing to witness with the swallows. That's what I love about fishing just being out in nature the things you see. Great content mate.
Thank you Jay, I appreciate it. A great sight wasn't it, I doubt I will ever see that again. Yes same here, being surrounded by nature and the water is what it's all about for me nowadays, nice to get away from it all. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Well done Gareth,always look forward to your videos absolutely fantastic, good to see the amazing wildlife , keep them coming ,

@@riversidewithme that’s what it’s all about mate it’s not just the catching fish👍
@@boatfishingscottyanoAbsolutely bud 👍
Another great watch Gareth!!
Just got back in from feeding stock & enjoying a brew watching your latest trip out.
Cracking bass on the 'sleeper' rod, always worth chucking one in close buddy... shame about the congers but you managed to get them close before they slipped the small hooks, so for me, it's a result!!
Right back to work, I just got a new lake to look after & a new pup to train up, so busy few months ahead!!
Stay safe my friend & look forward to your next video....All the best, Jon.
Sounds like you had an early start this morning Jon, although I guess you prefer that when the weather is warm. The new lake sounds interesting, I quite fancy the idea of having a job that involves looking after a lake. Thank you, it was a great day in fairness and seeing those birds on the line will live with me for a long time! Was good to get the Bass, I've not caught a decent one in ages, it was in perfect condition. Yeah shame about the missed fish, although that usually happens when I'm filming ha, too busy faffing about with the camera. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
nice 1 great vid
Thank you Martin, much appreciated. I enjoyed that one, things went to plan for a change ha! Cheers for watching 👍👍
Just love your enthusiasm Gareth. It’s fantastic.
Thank you David. I guess I appreciate the simple things in life, being next to the water usually does the trick. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍👍
Loved it Gareth just be careful on them rocks mate. 10/10
Thank you mate, appreciated as always. I enjoyed making this one, it was a great day for a number of reasons. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
I stepped away from fishing and haven’t been back for a few years. Watching your videos has really inspired me to start again. Your passion and ethos is much the same as my own, and you have reminded me of that. I feel quite emotional seeing you get so excited when the fish are on. I feel really happy watching your videos, I’ve just checked out my gear and will be fishing again soon, only I will be the other side of the channel from you. “Your joy is my joy”. Rob M.
Thank you Rob, much appreciated. I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos and it's great to hear that you'll be making a fishing comeback...no doubt many enjoyable sessions in front of you! Cheers for watching 👍
I love it when you hear that bell I am with you on tender hooks to see what it on
Great sound isn't it Nigel, certainly gets you going! Cheers as always 👍
Lovely video Gareth i really enjoy all of it, filming was great 👍. Im afraid to admit it but i would have took that bass for the table. Thanks a lot cheers bud
Thank you John, nice to hear from you as always. Nothing wrong with taking a fish for the table bud, I just fancied putting this one back. Hope all is good with you, have a good weekend 👍👍

Wonderful video, great bass. Never seen birds perch on a line like that. Tight lines m8.

Thank you Scott, nice day out that was, few missed fish but there we are. Ha yes, I do get a little over excited sometimes and it's been ages since I caught a decent Bass! That rod cost 7 quid from Lidl, Dad bought it about 12 years ago an it's still going strong, unbelievable really! Hope you're well mate, have a good weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme funny you should say that, ive heard people talking about lidls fishing gear lately and that they cant fault it. Cheers mate, enjoy yours aswell 👍🏻
@@scottkenny7661Thanks bud 👍
Brilliant video. Stunning place. Sun cream would be good .
Thanks Dale, I appreciate it. Lovely place isn't it, the wildlife usually puts on a good show. The aloe vera gel worked a treat when I got in, thankfully! Cheers for watching 👍👍
Cracking vid Gareth.
Thank you Thomas. Shame the tide had to go out as I would have stayed even longer, it was an enjoyable day. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Hi mate it’s not about quantity its quality and a one fish and a cracking bass happy days didn’t have the sun cream on then haha great video again Gareth as always looking forward to the next video
Yes mate, I agree. It was in perfect condition, a lovely fish. Was a great day all round, couldn't fault it. I slapped on raw aloe vera gel when I got home and that did the trick ha! Cheers as always bud, take it easy 👍👍
Great to see gass being returned Gareth.
Thank you Nick. This particular Bass took a minute or so to kick but eventually swam off lovely. Cheers 👍👍
Just watched your video, brilliant as ever Gareth. Beautiful bass! And those little birds on your line😂 we've been down carmarthen Bay in Kidwelly for a week, but my husband didn't catch any fish, but he enjoyed it. Hope you had factor 50 on, you looked as if you had caught the sun. Look forward to next video, take care!
Thank you Patricia, it was a very pleasant session. The birds on my line was an amazing site, I'll probably never see that again. Was good to get the Bass as I've not caught a decent one for a while. It was a little warm to say the least and when I got home I slapped on raw aloe vera gel and that did the trick ha! Hope you had a nice time down in Kidwelly, nice part of the world. Until the next one, take care 👍👍
Well done for returning the bass. 👍
Thanks Andy. I return them all these days, nice to see them swim off. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Great edit m8 👌and those birds purching on your line was awsome never seen anything like it 😊and I'm recovering well thank you m8,thanks for asking in the last comment I made I forgot to reply sorry but much appreciated 🙌keep the edits coming and continue to be blessed by our stunning coastline 🙏
Thank you Carl, appreciated as always. It was a great day in fairness and seeing the birds perching on the line made the session for me, couldn't believe it! A nice bonus Bass and of course, the missed fish ha! Pleased to hear that you're on the mend, good stuff... you'd better start making some rigs as you'll be making your fishing comeback soon!! Cheers for watching and take it easy! 👍👍
I may of been tempted to call that bass dinner but that's me, still abeautiful bar of silver! good catch on the cob road
I used to take quite a few fish for the table but nowadays I return the majority of them. Although there's nothing wrong with taking the odd fish home. Yes the cheapy old boat rod often saves the day ha!
Well done for another superb video Gareth. I could have done with your cheapy old boat rod to stop me blanking this week 😂 A lovely bass for you and nature all around. Beautiful shots, thank you 😊
Thank you Andy, I appreciate it. Ha yes, the cheapy old boat rod has been producing the goods of late! It was a great day, seeing those birds on my line was very special. Unlucky on the blanks this week, although I wouldn't worry as I usually blank!! Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Another cracker of a vid Gareth top quality
What a bass stunning fish and great to see the fantastic care you took of it to get it back safely well done
Dont keep many fish myself but may have been tempted to take that one for the table.
Top content keep up the good work and untill the next one
"Take care and all the best"

Thank you Byron, nice of you to say. It was a great day in fairness and I was pleased to get the bonus Bass, they're such a beautiful fish. Missed a few also but that usually happens when I'm filming, too busy faffing about with the camera. I keep the occasional fish for the table but these days I return the majority, I think I'm getting soft in my old age ha! Hope all is well, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
10/10 honestly. We’ll done Gareth ! ❤️❤️
Well *** looool
Thank you Morgan, nice of you to say. Things went well for a change ha! Hope all is good with you, take care 👍👍
That was a very nice looking bass. Shame about those 2 that came off at the last minute but that is one of fishing's frustrations I suppose. Looks like you have been getting a bit of sun over there just looking at the tan lines on your arms. Once again, another enjoyable video. Thanks Gareth.
Thank you David. Yes the Bass was in perfect condition, such a beautiful fish aren't they. I should have had four fish that day but I've come to accept that missing fish is always going to happen when filming...that's my excuse anyway ha! Yes it's been very warm over here during the past few weeks, was 28 degrees when I filmed this one. Mind you, could do with a drop of rain now, everything is very dry. Hope all is good with you, have a nice weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme Hope you have a good weekend too.

As always Gareth brilliant great to watch I’m watching this on my holiday in the USA New Jersey my American friends and family also think it’s grey we’ll done🇱🇷
Ah thank you Kev, I appreciate it. Lovely spot in fairness, there's usually something to see down there when it comes to the wildlife. Hope you're having a great holiday, enjoy! 👍👍
A real pleasure as always, as we say in reelminds theres more to fishing than catching.. being out is all that matters and making memoryies to relive when your old.. with lots of surprises and plenty of laughs.. thats what truly maks it all worth while.. even if you blank its the liven memorys made in peace that matter most ❤
Thank you mate, appreciated as always. This was a nice session, it was a pleasure being there and the Bass was a great bonus. Yes definitely, spending a few hours next to the water often works wonders, that's what it's all about and the memories created will last a lifetime as you say. Hope all is well, cheers for watching 👍👍
Hi Gareth ... hope all’s well with you mate. Really enjoyed the video as always. Looked like you had Cracking day out so much going on, amazing to see all those birds on your line. I remember fly fishing for brownies on my local river and had a kingfisher land on my rod tip, beautiful bird. Old Cheapie boat rod done the business again, lovely Bass. Thanks so much for sharing Gareth, take care mate 👍🎣🎣
Thank you Stephen. I enjoyed this session, was a pleasure to be there. Seeing those birds on the line will live with me forever, an amazing sight. I bet you were shocked when the Kingfisher landed on your rod tip, that's awesome! The Bass was a lovely Bonus, I've not caught one for a while and so I was a little excited ha! The cheapy old boat is on form at the moment, let's hope it continues. I'm good thanks mate, hope you are too, take it easy 👍👍
Great video mate great job.what a day bet you had a beer or two that night 👊👍
Thank you Carl, I remember this day very well. I filmed it on a Saturday and so I probably did have a beer or two when I got home ha! Cheers as always 👍
Hi Gareth. I love to watch your video's. I lost my dad 25 years ago. And until 3 weeks ago had not fished. So i tried the light house . And caught my first fish. Thanks for showing me how to regain the bug.
Hi Paul, nice to hear from you again. I'm pleased to hear that you've started fishing again and well done on catching a fish, that's great. I think fishing is often in the blood and we always go back to it, despite how long the break has been. I bet you have some great memories of the time you and your Dad spent together. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
You definitely capture the relaxing atmosphere of fishing . I liked your quote as well. I thought of one the other day whilst walking the dog on a perfect summers evening . “ When you find yourself in a moment of peace , you know your on the right path “. Tight lines and best of luck to you mate 👍🏼
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. I try my best to make a relaxing watch and hope that it turns out ok. I enjoyed this one, seeing the birds on my line made the session for me, a truly great sight. Ah that's a nice quote...I may have to steal that one off you ha! Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Gareth you are an absolute star, excellent video which I will also remember for the swallows as well as your care returning the bass. BTW I am chucking my beachcasters away and getting a boat rod. Take care
Thank you Robert, appreciated as always. Yes, the Swallows on the line was an amazing sight and I doubt that I will ever see that again. A nice bonus Bass too, I couldn't really complain, a enjoyable day out. Well my beachcasters have already been binned, tatty old boat rods all the way from now on ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Great vlog gareth keep up the good work mate
Thank you Del, I appreciate it. It was an enjoyable day out in fairness, the filming went right for a change ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
loving those T shirt tan lines brawd 🤣 yet another brilliant video gotta agree about the bullfinch but my fave has to be the goldcrest
Haha 8 hours of filming in that sunshine cause those lines 🤣. Ah yes, I love the Goldcrest, stunning birds. Sometimes see a couple inbetween my conifers but not often. Hope all is well, thanks for watching Richard 👍👍
@@riversidewithme i look forward to your videos brawd they are always top of the range fair dooz
@@richardparkhouse9571 Thanks bud. I don't think my videos are very good to be honest but it's nice when other people tell me that they enjoy them 👍
Thanks for sharing. Looking at the poor condition of the bass and the colour of the water, iam surprised anything survived in there, so sad to see.
Thanks Brian. Yeah that's the natural colour of the water, it's a muddy estuary, we don't get clear water around here. Although like everywhere nowadays, there's a bit of rubbish out there which is sad. Cheers 👍
I get a lot of goldfinches and a few chaffinches in my garden, and have only seen a bullfinch a few times. Those house martins on your line, i've never seen anything like that. Nice bass and all on a short broomstick.
Thanks bud, it was nice to get a Bass on the broomstick, I seem to catch more on that than I do on my beachcasters ha! Couldn't believe it when they were perching on my line, a truly great site. I love Goldfinches and Chaffinches, good that you get them in your garden. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍👍
Another cracking video Gareth, what a day to be out fishing and enjoying the surroundings and the wonderful sights that nature has to offer,
Well done on the bass pal, oh and with those birds on your line are you claiming a “perch” 😂
Thanks Nigel, it was a great day for it, stunning place and there's always something to see as the wildlife is impressive. The Bass was a lovely bonus and as usual, I missed a few fish! Claiming a 'perch' haha...I knew there was a reason that you never became a professional comedian 🤣. Cheers as always mate, have a good weekend 👍👍
Great Vlog, I used to fish the Ogmore deeps and all around Porth Cawl way back in the 70s-80s and I wish TH-cam with all the info existed back then. I'm a new subscriber and look forward to new vlogs and I shall watch your previous ones.
Thank you Brian, I appreciate it. Yes I like fishing Ogmore Deeps and the Porthcawl area myself, although I've not been down that way for a few months. Cheers for watching, hopefully more to come 👍👍
Another good video Gareth, nice little bass there mate and unlucky on dropping the others. Have you thought about using a carp rod for the mullet ?? Just a thought, look forward to next video mate.
Marc
Thank you Marc. I enjoyed this one, a great day out. I was pleased to get the Bass as I've not caught one for a while, it was in perfect condition. I tend to use my John Wilson Avon rod when fishing for the Mullet, that seems to do the job well, although my favourite Mullet spot is closed off at the moment which is a shame. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍👍
All good here mate may get out on weekend for a bash on the rays somewhere but never now maybe even go east a bit 😉😉
@@benjoma1 Good stuff...hope you catch a few 💪👍
Another cracking video would love to do a session with you keep up the great work mate
Thank you Sam, appreciated as always. I enjoyed making this one, was a bit hot but seeing those birds and the Bass made me feel better ha! I'm sure that could be arranged, no problem. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
First time i fished that exact mark in almost the exact spot was in late 80,s cought my best shore cought bass 7lb must ave fished it hundreds of time i,ve always done best there sept oct on a 12m tide ish incidently we call that spot keaty,s back in the day the local farmer who rented the land off the steel works was named keats hence keaty,s....great vid 🏴👍
Thanks Daz, much appreciated. Sounds like you have some good memories of fishing at this spot, can't argue with a Bass of 7lbs, lovely fish! Ah right, I didn't know that it was known as Keaty's back in the day, I guess you learn something new everyday! I love the place, I don't catch many fish there but something always seems to turn up and it's where I caught my PB Cod a few years back. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Recently came across your channel and love it mate
You should give Oxwich beach a go or on the rocks!
Thank you Jake, I appreciate it. Yes definitely, Oxwich is on my list for this year, I love it down there. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Hey Gareth I wonder if you are loosing the fish because you loose tension when walking down the rocks to words the shore line. Food for thought!! Thanks for sharing!
Yes possibly. When filming I'm usually doing five things at once and the concentration levels tend to drop...and I lose a few fish! Glad you enjoyed 👍
