Thank you Phillip, I appreciate that. Yes I need to give this venue another go at some point, hopefully before the end of the year. Cheers for watching, take care 👍
Thanks Andy. I just about managed to scrape a video together, not a great one but I guess it's better than no video at all. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍
Thank you Jason. Just about managed to scrape a video together. I'll give this place another go late summer and hopefully the weather will behave ha! Cheers as always 👍
Thank you Matt, I'm almost over it now. Not one of my better videos but I'll hopefully make an improved one when I return to Chesil during late summer. Cheers as always 👍
Thank you Steve, much appreciated. This video was a bit of a shambles but when I return later this year, hopefully the weather will behave ha! Cheers for watching 👍
Hi Gareth yet another stunning video from you .. I hope that you are feeling better mate. To be honest I have never had much luck fishing this beach you are fishing from... I found that Portland head land more productive.. especially at the beginning of summer. Anyway Gareth keep safe and well mate
Thank you Wayne, I'm feeling much better thanks, almost there now. Yes I actually took a trip over to Portland and it looked very promising, I'll definitely be giving it a crack at some point in the future! Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍
Yes it was nice to be out there giving it a go, lovely place isn't it. Shame about the weather but I guess there's always next time! Thanks Adam, much appreciated 👍
Thank you Richard, I'm hoping to go back later this year to give it another crack, hopefully it will be a different story then ha! Cheers as always, take care 👍
Well done forgiving it a go even though I could see you weren't feeling well, That's a fantastic part of Chesil with night fishing usually better for the bigger fish .
Thank you bud, much appreciated. Thanks for the info, I'm looking forward to going back and I'll definitely be doing a bit of night fishing next time. Cheers for watching 👍
Thank you Richie. Yes that's it, always nice to get out isn't it. I'm hoping to go back later in the year, around late summer, that's the plan anyway. Cheers as always, take care 👍
Thank you Jeff. Yes it was a nice week away, made a nice change to fish in the clear water. I'm planning on going back around late summer, see what's about then. Cheers as always, take care 👍
I was gutted Tone, I really wanted to make a good video down there but there we are, I guess these things happen. Hope all is good with you mate, tight lines for your next session 👍
Another great video, very relaxing, I haven’t picked up a rod for almost a year now, but still find myself eagerly awaiting your videos, they’re a joy to watch. I’m sorry to hear about your illness, and wish you a full and very speedy recovery, all the very best, Steve
Thank you Steve, I'm on the mend now and feeling better, I think! I'm pleased that you're enjoying the videos and hopefully you'll dust off the rods and wet a line soon! Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍
Thank you Paul. Yes it certainly is, I have found that it's quite unpredictable, although I guess a lot of marks are like that. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍
Thank you John. I've since learnt that this part of Chesil fishes better from late summer onwards, I'm looking forward to going back. Hope all is good with you, cheers bud 👍
@@riversidewithme Chesil maybe one of Britain's top venues but it still only fishes well in the right conditions when you work you can't just drop everything and go these long distance trips have to be planned
Yes it's the same for me Craig, I've had some shockers down there over the years ha! I'm much better thanks, almost there now. Cheers for watching, take care 👍
Well done for persevering through your illness, hope you're over it now. Reminds me that were away in July down Axminster for a fortnight, not too far to go to Chesil, then we're going yo Newton Abbot for a fortnight and back to Highbridge for August, so I've got plenty of choices for me and my son, thanks for all these videos Gareth they're truly inspiring and giving me back my interest after such a long break
Thank you Derrick, I'm feeling better now, almost there. I'm hoping to go back late summer and I'll try and make a better video then. Ah nice, that's something for you to look forward to then, you'll be spoilt for choice with all of those marks, should be good! No doubt I'll be back on the mud next and then I'll probably try further west. Cheers as always, take care 👍
30. Years ago I was intent to fish the famous chesil ,two of my boys 5. And 2 staying in sidmouth in a caravan .all baits under the sun last day of holidays ,the axle shaft on car snapped end of my fishing ,im determined to go back one day ,get well gareth lv mark and maria and boys Cardiff xx
Ah you must have been gutted Mark, especially as you were looking forward to it. Hopefully you can get back down there to give it another go, it certainly does offer a good variety of species. I'm hoping to go back later this year, probably late summer or thereabouts. Cheers as always, take care 👍
Hi Gareth sorry to hear your not feeling to well never the less you you still managed to catch a fish or two . this weather doesn't know what it's doing at the moment hot one minute then cold the next.hopefully you will be back to full health on the next one look forward to it❤
Thank you Einsley, I'm feeling much better now, almost over it. Yes I was gutted when the weather took a turn for the worse as I wanted to film into the night but there we are. I'm hoping to go back later this year, apparently this part of Chesil fishes better from late summer onwards. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍
Great video again Gareth mate, lovely red gurnard as well mate. Shame no more fish turned up on second a day after the storm but just being out is great, hope your over the lurgy now and back fighting for for your next video 👍🏻🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thank you Marc, I'm feeling much better thanks, almost over it. Yes I really wanted to make a much longer video but the weather was awful that evening. I guess these things happen but I'll definitely be going back for another crack, the place certainly has potential. Hope all is good with you bud, take it easy 👍
@@riversidewithme all good here mate still busy with work and family atm but managed a session a few weeks back with my mate getting a 13lb blonde down the knap, looking at going back to Pendine sometime this month for a bash on flounder and bass 🎣
well Gareth that was still a Awesome fishing video even when you was not feeling well fair play to you mate👍 get well soon and can't wait for your next video to drop mate👍🎣
Thank you Simon, I'm almost recovered now. Yes I just about managed to scrape enough footage together, although I really wanted to make a much longer video. Will hopefully be a different story when I go back later this year ha! Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍
Thank you Patricia, I'm almost fully recovered now, another day or so I reckon. I'm looking forward to giving this place another crack, later in the year. Enjoy the weekend 👍
Morning Gareth. Good to see you out and about! Beautiful sunrise, despite the rain the day before. Have stayed at Portland myself and from memory the weather was very changeable then too, with the wind all over the place! Hope you feel better very soon, relax and enjoy your break away 😊 Thanks for another great video, it’s very much appreciated the effort that you put into them and always producing a good watch. I always look forward to seeing the next one 🎣 take care of yourself 😊
Thank you Andy, I'm on the mend now, feeling much better thankfully. I was hoping to make a decent video and I was gutted that the weather was so bad, hopefully next time it will be a different story ha! I took a trip over to Portland whilst down there, the fishing spots looked good and I'd like to try them one day. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍
Hi Gareth I really get a buzz watching your videos you are such a honest guy &work very hard to put out a video which is much appreciated hope you get well soon thanks for the effort really enjoyed it thanks
Thank you Michael, that's nice of you to say, I appreciate it. I almost didn't have enough footage to make this video, hopefully I'll do a better job and make a longer video when I'm next down there, providing the weather behaves ha! Hope all is good with you. Cheers for watching 👍
Aye thanks bud, it was nice to fish the clear water for a change. I'm hoping to give this place another crack later this year, will see what's about then. Cheers as always 👍
It was a nice break thanks Paul, I enjoyed it down there. I'm hoping to go back later in the year to give it another crack. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍
Sat here wishing you an undulate off that mark Gareth. Knowing you was going to be plagued by Scads lol Fab video again and nice to see you feeding the Bass pretty Gurnards 😂 Thanks for the shout out. Hope you're better soon. Swamp dog/Soul searcher= Vince.
Thank you Vince, I'm feeling much better thanks, almost there now. Ah yes, the Scad were out there in huge numbers that evening, shame I couldn't film the water as it was boiling! I'm looking forward to going back later in the year, apparently that part of Chesil fishes better from late summer onwards. Cheers as always, much appreciated 👍
I was on holiday in Weymouth all last week ,sunshine wall to wall ,was chatting to a guy and his lad ,he had tried every hot-spot in Weymouth all week and nothing, he was well cheesed off ,i then said we had wind from the east all week and as the old saying goes "wind from the east the fish bite least" ,he said he will remember that next time ,if your ever in Bowleaze cove ,fish in-between the 1st and 2nd little points to the left of the funfair as you look out to sea ,theres 2 small white lobster pot markers out there ,theres a 8 foot kelp bed out there full of bass ,i used to spearfish out there ,but be prepared to loose a lot of tackle if your fishing from the rocks ,i also used to kayak fish out there but packed it all in ,good luck
Thanks for the info bud, much appreciated. The easterly winds also put pay to the fishing up this way last week, very quiet it was, I'm hoping for a run of south westerlies ha! Cheers for watching 👍
@riversidewithme had many a good night on the slipway by the pub catching whiting under the bridge. Good luck .Also, we used to use sparkplugs as we're were losing too much lead, lol
Great video Gareth as always, so well filmed and presented. Our expectations are always high given the lovely settings where we fish but we take what is given. Lovely gurnard, they look almost prehistoric. Hope you are feeling better. Funny how we seem to pick something up when we start to relax. Having maintenance chemotherapy prior to bone marrow transplant which will hopefully sort me out and get me fishing again. Don’t underestimate the mental healing power of your videos, and I thank you for that. Tried lure fishing a number of times without success! Plenty of good size bass being caught on the Kent coast in fairly shallow water to big worm and crab baits. Shalom and best wishes Dave
Hi Dave, I hope you're doing ok given your circumstances...keep going and stay strong! Thank you, it wasn't one of my better videos but I guess it was better than having no video at all. As you say, sometimes we make assumptions as to what we're going to catch but I guess we can't control what's going to take our bait, every session is different! Yes the Gurnard was stunning, such a great site in fairness. Sounds like there's a few fish about down your way, hopefully you'll be out there soon, having a go yourself. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍
Thank you John. Yes it was nice to be out there having a go. I'll definitely be going back this year, hopefully better weather next time ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍
Thank you Gordon, much appreciated. Yes it was still nice being there, despite the changeable weather. I'll hopefully be going back later in the year. Take care 👍
Really good video. Love fishing Chesil, but not fished there for years. Never know what might turn up and unlike the Severn estuary tide doesn't go out 15 miles and don't end up covered in mud.
Thank you Ed. Yes it made a nice change, always nice to see some different species. The locals were saying that this part of Chesil fishes better from late Summer onwards, I'll give it another crack before the year is out. Cheers as always 👍
Great video even though you weren’t feeling it mate nice to have a change from Newport and Barry they Dorset fish didn’t play ball hope you feel better soon
Thanks bud, I just about managed to scrape a video together, although I was a little gutted that I couldn't do that much filming, I guess there's always next time ha! Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍
Great watch once again Gareth, you do capture the atmosphere of a place really well with your scenery shots and the music really helps in that, awesome pal, a couple of bonus fish as well, Get better soon and thanks for sharing it with us 👍🎣
Thank you Nigel, I'm on the mend thankfully, almost over it. Yes I was a little gutted as I wanted to make a decent video down there but I guess we can't do much about the weather. I'll hopefully give it another crack around late summer, will see what's about then. Cheers as always, take care 👍
Was down weymouth this week with my daughters and the weather has been far from ideal but managed 3hrs yesterday eve on chesil.had 2 dogfish.tried for the mackerel but nothing about.but glad not to blank.hope u feel better soon and we enjoy all your vids regardless if you catch or not
Thank you Rob, I've almost recovered now. Glad you managed to get a few hours in, shame the Mackerel weren't about but I guess there's always next time, just nice being out isn't it. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍
Morning Gareth....hope this finds you feeling a lot better mate. Great video, as always, brought back a lot of memories for me... not fishing ones, but remembering the hours & hours of bouncing around in a rib & practising beach assaults/ landings!!....it was a long time ago now but the scenery don't change!! Stunning looking gunard, they are such a pretty fish & good eating too!! Anyways, Thanks for the walk down memory lane & heres to the next!! Get Well Soon buddy....all the very best...Jon.
Hi Jon. Yes I'm getting there thanks, I'm on the mend. I'm glad the video brought back some memories for you, good stuff...sounds like that was quite physically demanding and I bet those pebbles didn't make it any easier for you! Yes the Gurnard was stunning, what a great site that was, they give a cracking bite! I really wanted to film into the night but it just wasn't possible with the weather, I'll give it another crack later in the year and hopefully I can make a better and longer video. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍
Oh!!....It certainly was fun trying to run up those pebbles/shingle with kit/weapon!!...Ha!! The other thing was how quickly the weather would close in, something you saw first hand!!...was always amazed at the storms around Portland & how savage they would be!!
Thank you Matthew, I'm almost over it now. Yes that's right, I guess that's fishing, good days and bad. The locals were saying that this part of Chesil tends to fish better from late summer onwards, hopefully I'll go back. Cheers as always, take care 👍
Looks like we are swapping marks Gareth ! I’ve had many a session on Chesil my favourite being Abbotsburys . Just booked a 6 day trip to the Mumbles for me and the misses in a few weeks . Plenty of shops and cafes for her and some nice places for me to fish nearby. Take care mate
Sounds good mate, hope you have a nice time. I love the Mumbles and the Gower, lots of nice fishing spots and just nice places to be. I'll hopefully give Chesil another crack later this year, that's the plan anyway. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍
Hi Nik, thanks for the comment. I'm back home now, we were down in Weymouth last week. I took a trip over to Portland whilst there, the fishing spots looked very appealing and I hope to give them a go some day. Hope all is good with you...cheers 👍
That Red Gurnod was amazing in its colours. Don't get them here. Only red mullet which are delicious by the way. As always thanks for the video. Where would we all be without Gar!! Sounds like there are a few struggles going on over there. Hope things are better real soon for ya!!!❤
Thank you for the donation David, very kind of you, I shall put it towards a new camera tripod as the one I have is on its last legs. I really wanted to make a good video down at Chesil and I was gutted that I became ill, and of course the weather was shocking too! But there we are, I guess there will be another opportunity later in the year. Yes that Gurnard was stunning, I'd happily catch them all day. We get three varieties in the UK - Grey Gurnard, Tub Gurnard and Red Gurnard. I'm almost better thanks, another couple of days and I should be sorted. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend. Cheers 👍
Thank you Martin, I'm getting there thanks, almost recovered now. Yes I'll definitely be going back, probably around late summer. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍
Thank you bud, appreciated as always. The tide tomorrow is a bit small for St Brides, the water will just about reach the rocks and it will be very shallow. Goldcliff will be a better option I think, on the bend to the left, it's approximately a 15 minute walk from where you park. Or Friars Point at Barry, that's another option. Cheers 👍
@AJSnake86 Good stuff. If you walk up to the gate on the bend, then walk for another 70 yards or so and anywhere around there will be fine. See my video from a few weeks ago called 'Neap Tide Sea Fishing', that's the spot I'm describing.
hi gareth .love your sessions ,very relaxing and sometimes very exciting a good mix really,, just wanted to ask ,have you ever fished at sker rock porthcawl.quite a walk from the car park.but the fishing can be excellent. worth a google maybe,,anyway carry on with what you do i love it tight lines yvonne.
Thank you Yvonne, much appreciated. Yes I have fished Sker quite a few times in the past, great mark isn't it. I also like Pink Bay just next to it. Will hopefully visit the area again shortly. Cheers for watching 👍
What was the town in the background? It might be a good idea to show your location on google maps and even talk a bit about your surrounding area (memories or town, river history). Loving the videos. Cheers from Western Australia.
I think it was Portland, although it was my first time there and so my knowledge of the area is somewhat lacking. I'll hopefully go back later this year as I couldn't make much of a video this time around. Thank you as always, much appreciated 👍
Hope you are over the bug Gareth and feeling well. As usual another great video with beautiful music. Have to say having never been to Chesil in my younger days only looking at it from Portland Bill it looks like you have to have your wits about yourself fishing it. Not a place to turn your back to the sea on windy day I reckon.
I'm getting there thanks Jeff, almost recovered now. Yes Chesil can be a great place to fish but if the wind picks up it can be a little dangerous too, the swell can be intimidating at times. The wind wasn't too bad when I was there but the heavy rain and thunder prevented me from filming that evening, I'll hopefully be back late summer. Hope things are ok with you, cheers as always 👍
Gareth that's my favourite beach love it also hate it 😂 just got back from fishing merthyr Mawr beach never fished it before the wife wanted me to take her after i showed her you fishing there anyway had 2 small bass and 1hound 👌👍
Nice one Leighton, I love Merthyr Mawr beach, one of my all-time favourite marks, many great memories and it's usually less busy than other places. Well done on winkling a few fish out, tidy. As for my Chesil session...no comment...but I shall return 😂. Cheers as always 👍
Another great video Gareth ,I look forward to your videos and content great job. Maybe this summer if u have chance u could do a fish meet up with ur subscribers we could have a little competition to raise money for a local charity or something. Keep up the great work
Thank you Luke, much appreciated. Shame the weather was a bit dodgy but I'm planning on going back to Chesil, probably around late summer, will see what happens then. Yes that's a good idea and something to consider, I'll explore it. Cheers for watching 👍
Well done on the Turbot Andrew, always nice to see. Ha yes, those pebbles are a killer, proper hard work walking over them! Cheers mate, take it easy 👍
Thanks Andrew, there were some lovely size Mackerel about in fairness. We were staying in a house, we managed to get a good deal on one, in the centre of Weymouth.
Haha it certainly is Royston, a bit clearer. I was down on the mud yesterday as I was off work, it was good to be fishing in the hot chocolate again! Cheers as always, take it easy 👍
Ah yes, I think it can be very hit and miss, even the locals told me that last week. I'll give it another crack later in the year, will hopefully be on better form. Thanks Ian 👍
Really enjoy watching your videos Gareth nice and relaxed glad you didn't blank mate 👍
Thank you Phillip, I appreciate that. Yes I need to give this venue another go at some point, hopefully before the end of the year. Cheers for watching, take care 👍
Get well soon mate 👍
Thank you Les, I'm getting there thanks. Hope all is good with you...cheers 👍
Did well to soldier on gareth good watch as usual
Thanks Andy. I just about managed to scrape a video together, not a great one but I guess it's better than no video at all. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍
Lovely stretch of coast, always fun to fish, some days, I don't mind if I catch or not, its just nice being there.
Yes I agree, just a nice place to be isn't it. I'm very much looking forward to going back. Thank you for watching 👍
Hi Gareth,
Stay lucky and get well soon. C u on your next mission.
Thank you Ronald, nice of you to say. Cheers for watching, take care 👍

I found that Portland head land more productive.. especially at the beginning of summer.
Anyway Gareth keep safe and well mate

Unlucky on the poor fishing Gareth especially as you were feeling a bit under the weather but still nice to get out and wet a line.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you Richie. Yes that's it, always nice to get out isn't it. I'm hoping to go back later in the year, around late summer, that's the plan anyway. Cheers as always, take care 👍
Lovely vid and great break apart from the cold, at least you know you're on a UK hol catching a cold. Waiting for the next.
Thank you Jeff. Yes it was a nice week away, made a nice change to fish in the clear water. I'm planning on going back around late summer, see what's about then. Cheers as always, take care 👍

Morning Gareth. Good to see you out and about! Beautiful sunrise, despite the rain the day before. Have stayed at Portland myself and from memory the weather was very changeable then too, with the wind all over the place! Hope you feel better very soon, relax and enjoy your break away 😊 Thanks for another great video, it’s very much appreciated the effort that you put into them and always producing a good watch. I always look forward to seeing the next one 🎣 take care of yourself 😊
Thank you Andy, I'm on the mend now, feeling much better thankfully. I was hoping to make a decent video and I was gutted that the weather was so bad, hopefully next time it will be a different story ha! I took a trip over to Portland whilst down there, the fishing spots looked good and I'd like to try them one day. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍
Good effort 🤙
Thanks bud, I'll give it another crack later this year. Cheers 👍
Hi Gareth I really get a buzz watching your videos you are such a honest guy &work very hard to put out a video which is much appreciated hope you get well soon thanks for the effort really enjoyed it thanks
Thank you Michael, that's nice of you to say, I appreciate it. I almost didn't have enough footage to make this video, hopefully I'll do a better job and make a longer video when I'm next down there, providing the weather behaves ha! Hope all is good with you. Cheers for watching 👍
As usual a cracking video mate , and brought back memories for me as used to work and live in abbotsbury
Thank you Andrew, much appreciated. I'm pleased that the video brought back some good memories for you, that's great. Cheers for watching 👍
Glad the quantity is increasing with the usual high quality. Good to see you enjoying the videography and the fishing for us to enjoy.
Aye thanks bud, it was nice to fish the clear water for a change. I'm hoping to give this place another crack later this year, will see what's about then. Cheers as always 👍
Great video buddy. Loved it
Thank you Chris, much appreciated. I'll hopefully go back during late summer to give it another crack. Cheers 👍
Great work as always Gareth, hope you’re over it now 🤕🐟🦈🎣
Thank you Kevin. Yes I'm feeling much better now, almost there. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍
Nice video Gar
Thank you Gary, appreciated as always. Hope all is good with you mate 👍
Another nice video Gareth, great to see you out again hope you and the family enjoy your holiday. All the best Paul.🎣🎣
It was a nice break thanks Paul, I enjoyed it down there. I'm hoping to go back later in the year to give it another crack. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍
Sat here wishing you an undulate off that mark Gareth. Knowing you was going to be plagued by Scads lol
Fab video again and nice to see you feeding the Bass pretty Gurnards 😂
Thanks for the shout out. Hope you're better soon. Swamp dog/Soul searcher= Vince.
Thank you Vince, I'm feeling much better thanks, almost there now. Ah yes, the Scad were out there in huge numbers that evening, shame I couldn't film the water as it was boiling! I'm looking forward to going back later in the year, apparently that part of Chesil fishes better from late summer onwards. Cheers as always, much appreciated 👍
I was on holiday in Weymouth all last week ,sunshine wall to wall ,was chatting to a guy and his lad ,he had tried every hot-spot in Weymouth all week and nothing, he was well cheesed off ,i then said we had wind from the east all week and as the old saying goes "wind from the east the fish bite least" ,he said he will remember that next time ,if your ever in Bowleaze cove ,fish in-between the 1st and 2nd little points to the left of the funfair as you look out to sea ,theres 2 small white lobster pot markers out there ,theres a 8 foot kelp bed out there full of bass ,i used to spearfish out there ,but be prepared to loose a lot of tackle if your fishing from the rocks ,i also used to kayak fish out there but packed it all in ,good luck
Thanks for the info bud, much appreciated. The easterly winds also put pay to the fishing up this way last week, very quiet it was, I'm hoping for a run of south westerlies ha! Cheers for watching 👍
@riversidewithme had many a good night on the slipway by the pub catching whiting under the bridge. Good luck .Also, we used to use sparkplugs as we're were losing too much lead, lol
Great video Gareth as always, so well filmed and presented. Our expectations are always high given the lovely settings where we fish but we take what is given. Lovely gurnard, they look almost prehistoric. Hope you are feeling better. Funny how we seem to pick something up when we start to relax. Having maintenance chemotherapy prior to bone marrow transplant which will hopefully sort me out and get me fishing again. Don’t underestimate the mental healing power of your videos, and I thank you for that. Tried lure fishing a number of times without success! Plenty of good size bass being caught on the Kent coast in fairly shallow water to big worm and crab baits. Shalom and best wishes Dave
Hi Dave, I hope you're doing ok given your circumstances...keep going and stay strong! Thank you, it wasn't one of my better videos but I guess it was better than having no video at all. As you say, sometimes we make assumptions as to what we're going to catch but I guess we can't control what's going to take our bait, every session is different! Yes the Gurnard was stunning, such a great site in fairness. Sounds like there's a few fish about down your way, hopefully you'll be out there soon, having a go yourself. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍
Good man Gareth it's great seeing you out fishing and being happy.
Thank you John. Yes it was nice to be out there having a go. I'll definitely be going back this year, hopefully better weather next time ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍
Lots of sea air will make you feel better.As always great seeing you out again.Take care.
Yes you're right there Andy, it usually does the trick. Cheers as always, take care 👍
Nice video Gareth. Even though you miles from your home turf your skill with the camera never fails! those sunrises and seascapes. Cracking!
Thank you Gordon, much appreciated. Yes it was still nice being there, despite the changeable weather. I'll hopefully be going back later in the year. Take care 👍
Really good video. Love fishing Chesil, but not fished there for years. Never know what might turn up and unlike the Severn estuary tide doesn't go out 15 miles and don't end up covered in mud.
Thank you Ed. Yes it made a nice change, always nice to see some different species. The locals were saying that this part of Chesil fishes better from late Summer onwards, I'll give it another crack before the year is out. Cheers as always 👍
Great video even though you weren’t feeling it mate nice to have a change from Newport and Barry they Dorset fish didn’t play ball hope you feel better soon
Thanks bud, I just about managed to scrape a video together, although I was a little gutted that I couldn't do that much filming, I guess there's always next time ha! Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍
Great watch once again Gareth, you do capture the atmosphere of a place really well with your scenery shots and the music really helps in that, awesome pal, a couple of bonus fish as well,
Get better soon and thanks for sharing it with us 👍🎣
Thank you Nigel, I'm on the mend thankfully, almost over it. Yes I was a little gutted as I wanted to make a decent video down there but I guess we can't do much about the weather. I'll hopefully give it another crack around late summer, will see what's about then. Cheers as always, take care 👍
Another cracking vlog hope you're feeling better now off down the breakwater might fish your spot
Thank you Dave, much appreciated. Good luck on the breakwater, hope you have a good session! Tight lines 👍
Was down weymouth this week with my daughters and the weather has been far from ideal but managed 3hrs yesterday eve on chesil.had 2 dogfish.tried for the mackerel but nothing about.but glad not to blank.hope u feel better soon and we enjoy all your vids regardless if you catch or not
Thank you Rob, I've almost recovered now. Glad you managed to get a few hours in, shame the Mackerel weren't about but I guess there's always next time, just nice being out isn't it. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍
Another great watch Gareth....love the backing track to...thank you
Thank you Norman, appreciated as always. Shame the weather was so bad but I'm looking forward to going back for another go. Cheers for watching 👍
Lovely m8 😎👌
Thank you bud. A bit of a shambles but hopefully things will be different when I return later in the year ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍
Morning Gareth....hope this finds you feeling a lot better mate.
Great video, as always, brought back a lot of memories for me... not fishing ones, but remembering the hours & hours of bouncing around in a rib & practising beach assaults/ landings!!....it was a long time ago now but the scenery don't change!!
Stunning looking gunard, they are such a pretty fish & good eating too!!
Anyways, Thanks for the walk down memory lane & heres to the next!!
Get Well Soon buddy....all the very best...Jon.
Hi Jon. Yes I'm getting there thanks, I'm on the mend. I'm glad the video brought back some memories for you, good stuff...sounds like that was quite physically demanding and I bet those pebbles didn't make it any easier for you! Yes the Gurnard was stunning, what a great site that was, they give a cracking bite! I really wanted to film into the night but it just wasn't possible with the weather, I'll give it another crack later in the year and hopefully I can make a better and longer video. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍
Oh!!....It certainly was fun trying to run up those pebbles/shingle with kit/weapon!!...Ha!!
The other thing was how quickly the weather would close in, something you saw first hand!!...was always amazed at the storms around Portland & how savage they would be!!
@j.g.routley2442 Yes I can imagine, those pebbles are challenging to say the least! You did well to conquer them ha!
Thanks
another great watch as alway,s garath look forward to the next one mate keep them coming mate tight lines mate
Thank you Andrew, appreciated as always mate. I'll give this place another crack soon, hopefully later this year. Enjoy the weekend mate 👍
Get well soon, Gar. I've had some cracking days on Chesil and some days when I didn't get a tap. We all have those days!
Thank you Matthew, I'm almost over it now. Yes that's right, I guess that's fishing, good days and bad. The locals were saying that this part of Chesil tends to fish better from late summer onwards, hopefully I'll go back. Cheers as always, take care 👍
Looks like we are swapping marks Gareth ! I’ve had many a session on Chesil my favourite being Abbotsburys . Just booked a 6 day trip to the Mumbles for me and the misses in a few weeks . Plenty of shops and cafes for her and some nice places for me to fish nearby. Take care mate
Sounds good mate, hope you have a nice time. I love the Mumbles and the Gower, lots of nice fishing spots and just nice places to be. I'll hopefully give Chesil another crack later this year, that's the plan anyway. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍
Almost as good as being there 👍
Thank you bud, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully things will be different when I return to Chesil later this year. Cheers 👍
Hi gar, didn't know you were on my doorstep would love to come and say hello if your about for a few days, best wishes
Nik, Portland....
Hi Nik, thanks for the comment. I'm back home now, we were down in Weymouth last week. I took a trip over to Portland whilst there, the fishing spots looked very appealing and I hope to give them a go some day. Hope all is good with you...cheers 👍
Maybe another time,take care mate
Keep safe.... Nik
get better soon mate, as always great video
Thank you Sion. I'm almost over it now, another day or so and that should be the end of it. Cheers as always 👍
@@riversidewithme i always seem to get ill lately, bad chest etc but cant beat a bit of fishing xD
@SionsFishingDiary Sorry to hear that, hopefully just a phase. But yes, sea air is always a great tonic.
That Red Gurnod was amazing in its colours. Don't get them here. Only red mullet which are delicious by the way. As always thanks for the video. Where would we all be without Gar!! Sounds like there are a few struggles going on over there. Hope things are better real soon for ya!!!❤
Thank you for the donation David, very kind of you, I shall put it towards a new camera tripod as the one I have is on its last legs. I really wanted to make a good video down at Chesil and I was gutted that I became ill, and of course the weather was shocking too! But there we are, I guess there will be another opportunity later in the year. Yes that Gurnard was stunning, I'd happily catch them all day. We get three varieties in the UK - Grey Gurnard, Tub Gurnard and Red Gurnard. I'm almost better thanks, another couple of days and I should be sorted. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend. Cheers 👍
Always the way mate, finish work - switch off for a holiday and boom a cold gets you 🤧
Annoying isn't it Nick! I was gutted as I wanted to make a decent video but I guess there's always next time. Cheers for watching 👍
Soon be back on the mud Gareth tight lines
Yes the mud is calling me Stephen, no doubt my next video will feature lots of mud ha! Cheers as always 👍
Hope your well now ❤
I'm much better thanks Andrew, almost there now. Hope all is good with you. Cheers 👍
Nice chilled out sesh gar tight lines bud
Thank you Martin. I was hoping to make a longer video but I guess there's always next time. Cheers as always 👍
@@riversidewithme I can't get out at the moment moving house it's killing me lol
@martinwilson3707 Ah yes, I can appreciate your frustration! Hopefully not too long now!
Looks like juvenile herring being chased ashore 👍
Yes you could be right Jason, it was an impressive site. Cheers 👍
Hope you're feeling better mate. Hopefully the fish'll be more obliging next time you wet a line! :-)
Thank you Martin, I'm getting there thanks, almost recovered now. Yes I'll definitely be going back, probably around late summer. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍
Amazing video again Gar. Love these videos you do. I'm taking your advice and hitting St Brides tomorrow 🎣 tight lines
Thank you bud, appreciated as always. The tide tomorrow is a bit small for St Brides, the water will just about reach the rocks and it will be very shallow. Goldcliff will be a better option I think, on the bend to the left, it's approximately a 15 minute walk from where you park. Or Friars Point at Barry, that's another option. Cheers 👍
@riversidewithme cheers for the advice pal 🎣 ill have look tomorrow. Goldcliff was my back up 👍🏻
@AJSnake86 Good stuff. If you walk up to the gate on the bend, then walk for another 70 yards or so and anywhere around there will be fine. See my video from a few weeks ago called 'Neap Tide Sea Fishing', that's the spot I'm describing.
@@riversidewithme legend nice one 👍🏻
nice gurnard garath chicken of the sea i dont know as i dont eat fish lol just love the sport and time,s to think mate
Thanks Andrew. Lovely looking fish wasn't it, beautiful colours. Yes apparently they taste good, although these days I return all of my fish 👍
Thanks for the video Gareth but remember if there ain`t no mud it ain`t proper fishing.....ha atb
Haha yes, I think I'd agree with you there bud. The mud is calling me once again and no doubt it will feature in my next video! Cheers as always 👍
Lovedthe intro music gareth can u tell me who it is please. Get better soon buddy
Thank you Gary, I've almost recovered thanks. The track is called 'Tides' by Anita Tatlow, lovely song isn't it. Cheers as always 👍
@@riversidewithme thank u I will b listening to that while fishing sunday
@garycreasey4538 Tight lines 👍
hi gareth .love your sessions ,very relaxing and sometimes very exciting a good mix really,,
just wanted to ask ,have you ever fished at sker rock porthcawl.quite a walk from the car park.but the fishing can be excellent.
worth a google maybe,,anyway carry on with what you do i love it
tight lines
yvonne.
Thank you Yvonne, much appreciated. Yes I have fished Sker quite a few times in the past, great mark isn't it. I also like Pink Bay just next to it. Will hopefully visit the area again shortly. Cheers for watching 👍
What was the town in the background? It might be a good idea to show your location on google maps and even talk a bit about your surrounding area (memories or town, river history). Loving the videos. Cheers from Western Australia.
I think it was Portland, although it was my first time there and so my knowledge of the area is somewhat lacking. I'll hopefully go back later this year as I couldn't make much of a video this time around. Thank you as always, much appreciated 👍
Hope you are over the bug Gareth and feeling well.
As usual another great video with beautiful music. Have to say having never been to Chesil in my younger days only looking at it from Portland Bill it looks like you have to have your wits about yourself fishing it. Not a place to turn your back to the sea on windy day I reckon.
I'm getting there thanks Jeff, almost recovered now. Yes Chesil can be a great place to fish but if the wind picks up it can be a little dangerous too, the swell can be intimidating at times. The wind wasn't too bad when I was there but the heavy rain and thunder prevented me from filming that evening, I'll hopefully be back late summer. Hope things are ok with you, cheers as always 👍
Gareth that's my favourite beach love it also hate it 😂 just got back from fishing merthyr Mawr beach never fished it before the wife wanted me to take her after i showed her you fishing there anyway had 2 small bass and 1hound 👌👍
Nice one Leighton, I love Merthyr Mawr beach, one of my all-time favourite marks, many great memories and it's usually less busy than other places. Well done on winkling a few fish out, tidy. As for my Chesil session...no comment...but I shall return 😂. Cheers as always 👍
Another great video Gareth ,I look forward to your videos and content great job. Maybe this summer if u have chance u could do a fish meet up with ur subscribers we could have a little competition to raise money for a local charity or something. Keep up the great work
Thank you Luke, much appreciated. Shame the weather was a bit dodgy but I'm planning on going back to Chesil, probably around late summer, will see what happens then. Yes that's a good idea and something to consider, I'll explore it. Cheers for watching 👍
watching bit late garath been fishing down ogmore just the one turbert chesil dont half kill the legs walking on there mate
Well done on the Turbot Andrew, always nice to see. Ha yes, those pebbles are a killer, proper hard work walking over them! Cheers mate, take it easy 👍
Hope you get better soon cracking camera work.
Thank you Christopher, I'm feeling much better now, almost over it. Cheers for watching 👍
nice size mackral garath you staying in caravan or band b mate
Thanks Andrew, there were some lovely size Mackerel about in fairness. We were staying in a house, we managed to get a good deal on one, in the centre of Weymouth.
Water is a little different than it is in Newport Gareth
Haha it certainly is Royston, a bit clearer. I was down on the mud yesterday as I was off work, it was good to be fishing in the hot chocolate again! Cheers as always, take it easy 👍
av just got over a flu thing.hope your A1 soon mate
Glad you're feeling better Mick. Thank you, I'm almost there now, another day or two should do it. Cheers 👍
Hai😅
Only fished Chesil once. Three of us fishing. Six rods. Not one fish between us.🙄
Ah yes, I think it can be very hit and miss, even the locals told me that last week. I'll give it another crack later in the year, will hopefully be on better form. Thanks Ian 👍
Another 2lb on that gurnard and it's a fantastic meal 😋 best tasting fish in the sea
Yes I tried some once and it was very good. Thank it was at a restaurant down in Brixham. Cheers 👍
