Message from my Dad, Terry Huntley, who doesn’t have TH-cam (but loves watching it) - Hi Gareth, I had 2 1/2 very happy years living on the Lighthouse Park from ‘72-‘74. It was then a caravan park. Being from Cardiff and have lived in Mid Wales for many years. I used to fish with Man of Steel Angling Club and Newport Sea Anglers. I have so many very happy memories of fishing at St Brides and all the wonderful characters I met along the way. Maybe some of your older viewers will remember them!😊 Alf and Pat Berry, Fred Bacon, Big Bill and Tony Hart (who I still think fishes with Newport Sea Anglers) The fishing back then as always with the upper Bristol Channel was tough but the Autumn run of Whiteing, Winter Flounders and Silver Eels in Spring could be amazing (also the odd Cod and large Conga Eel came my way) I spent a winter living in my teepee in the old vegetable garden at West Usk Lighthouse (97-98) and had many wet cold but wonderful days digging Lug Worm. Also, I discovered a large Rag Worm bed which I was very careful to not over dig (and never told my closest angling mates where it was) 😂 Health, time of life and distance makes it near impossible for me to do it now. Your lovely videos and open hearted personality are a joy to watch. I wish you and yours all the very best into the future and I’ll continue watching!😊
Thank you for the comment Terry, I enjoyed reading it and no doubt you have many more stories to tell, the memories you have will last forever. Interesting to hear that you lived on the Lighthouse Park, I looked into living there myself but you have to be 50 years of age, another 7 years and I'll qualify ha! Like yourself, Dad and I used to dig lugworm next to the West Usk Lighthouse back in the 80s/90s, great times they were. Well done on finding the Ragworm bed, I don't blame you for keeping it a secret ha! I never came across it, must have been looking in the wrong place 😂. I love the area, It's just a nice place to be. Ok, the fishing isn't as productive as further west but for me nowadays it's just about getting out and spending a few hours next to the water, I'm not too worried about catching fish anymore. We probably crossed paths when you lived in your teepee as we used to park in the carpark of the West Usk Lighthouse and we'd give Frank the owner a few pounds for his charity box. Thank you for watching the videos, hopefully more to come. Take care 👍👍
Hi Gareth, I love watching your vlogs and always a positive attitude. My In-laws lived in LLantwit Major way back in the 70s - 80s when me and my wife where visiting and I fished many of the marks from Barry to Porthcawl back then. The info was not as good then as there was no Internet, only the local tackle suppliers and the Angling Times!!! My first foray into sea angling was at Rest Bay with an old Pike rod and line, two locals took me over to the south of Porhcawl to a mark where I caught my very first Doggy. Those two guys have always stuck in my mind and that Doggy. Its great to see you fish some of my old haunts where I'm most likely never to see again and which brought back so many happy times in South Wales. Please carry on with the good and the bad, as that's fishing and there's not one among us that haven't blanked on the day. Ho, found my first Clay Pipe digging Ragworm at Penarth back in the summer of 75!!!! Happy days.
Hi Brian, thank you for the comment, I enjoyed reading it. Sounds like you have some great memories of when you fished those marks back in the day and I'm sure you have many stories to tell...such as finding the clay pipe whilst digging ragworm! Thank you, I'll keep plugging away and hopefully more videos to come. I had some time off work today and so I had a session, will try and get the video on for Friday, although it might have to be next Friday as not sure if I'll be able to edit it in time. Cheers for watching, I appreciate it. Take care 👍
I'm a bit late but just wanted to echo the other comments and say welcome back. You certainly nailed it with this one. On a big tv and surround sound you take me back to my teens, fishing alongside my Dad. Of course nothing beats experiencing it all in person but from the fabulous dawn light, gently waving bladderwrack, occasional small flocks of birds battling the elements and, alas, not catching much [!], you capture the experience so well. As others have said, give me quality over quantity any time. Thank you Gareth, your efforts are very much appreciated.
Thank you Wayne, that's nice of you to say, I appreciate it. Sounds like you have some good memories of when you fished with your Dad, memories which last a lifetime. Yes that's it, not many fish feature in my videos and that's because the marks I fish are not as productive as they once were. But I just enjoy spending a few hours next to the water and admiring the surrounding wildlife etc, that's what it's all about for me nowadays. Cheers for watching 👍
Keep them eels coming Gareth! Another lovely video, mate. I used to live just up the road from there, in Thornbury, but never fished the stretch until a few years ago, when I went across from Cardiff to Littleton-upon-Severn. What really appreciate in your videos is your emotional intelligence, which is sadly lacking in most other offerings. Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to the next installment. 😊
Haha thanks Matt, those eels are never too far away from me, they like to follow me around I think! Nice, glad that you got to fish this stretch, some nice marks in fairness. I guess I'm naturally a deep thinker, hence the emotional and deep conversations...the older I'm becoming the more I try to make a difference and if my videos help people to relax etc, then that's great. I can't always make nice ones but I try my best. Cheers bud, enjoy the weekend 👍
Hi Gareth what a lovely video & a great present for me to see you back out again fishing glad to hear you have got your mind back in gear as I have suffered with mental illnesses but fishing & watching your videos makes me feel good thanks & merry Christmas to you all.
Thank you Michael, nice of you to say and I'm pleased to hear that the videos make you feel good, that's always my priority when making a film, to make them as relaxing as possible. Yes it's surprising how fragile the mind can be at times and taking some time out can help. Merry Christmas, hope you and yours have a good one. All the best 👍👍
Thank you William. I remember this day very well...grey and overcast but enjoyable, it was nice to see a few Whiting about. Hope all is well, cheers for watching 👍
Hi Gareth, another great video. A true reflection fishing the Bristol Channel. Hard going fishing Weston -s-Mare at the moment. Keep up the good work. 🐟🐟🐟
Thank you Paul, appreciated as always. Yes the fishing is hard going at the moment, the odd fish but that's about it. We'll keep plugging away and you never know, just nice being next to the water isn't it. Cheers 👍👍
Watching your rough grind fishing I always watch your videos it is nice you always mention ya dad forgoton to easy by people but you don’t you allay mention him good it’s lovely keep it going please
Thank you Lee, I appreciate it. Ah yes, I do tend to mention dad a lot, I guess I like to keep those memories alive. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. Was nice to be out again, the sunrise first thing was impressive. Likewise, it was good to have a chat. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Ah I'm pleased to hear that Mark. It was a nice little session, just nice being out again. Hope all is good with you and thank you for the continued support. Take care 👍👍
Thank you Raymond, I appreciate it. Yes the sunrise was on good form that morning, although the bad weather soon took over ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Thank you Jon. It was a nice little session, the sunrise was a good start to the day. I'm doing ok thanks, hope everything is good with you. Have a great Christmas, enjoy 👍👍
Good to see you back Gareth. Great intro with some fantastic camera work and atmospheric music. Sure, you didn`t catch anything huge but it`s just nice to have a pleasant session on a Winters day.
Thank you Gordon, I appreciate it. The sunrise first thing was beautiful wasn't it, a good start to the session. Yes that's right, it's just nice being out there, I'm not that bothered about catching fish anymore if the truth be told. Hope all is good with you, take it easy 👍👍
Gareth disappeared when this 20mph malarky came in, coincidence i dont think so. It's enough to make anyone stressed 😂 welcome back gareth, top video as usual.
Ha yes, sounds about right...what a shambles that's proved to be! Thanks bud, it was a nice little session, the sunrise was a good start to the day. Hope all is good with you, take it easy 👍👍
Thank you bud, I'm pleased to hear that. The sunrise was impressive first thing and I couldn't resist capturing some nice scenery shots. I'm glad I did as the dark clouds soon moved in. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍👍
Hi Gareth, hope you are keeping well. Was really happy to see a new video up. As always a great video i particularly enjoyed the scenery shots, and nice to see a few whiting.
Thank you Ed, I appreciate it. When I arrived the sunrise was special and I couldn't resist capturing some footage of it. Yes I was also pleased to see the Whiting, they certainly kept the rod tips busy. Hope all is good with you, take care 👍👍
Thank you Scott, it was nice to be out there again. The sunrise first thing was a good sight and that set me up for the session. Hope all is good with you mate, cheers as always 👍👍
I'm probably my own worst critic, although I'm pleased that others enjoy the videos. The track in this video is by Anita Tatlow, it's very soothing. Cheers as always 👍
Brilliant intro, loved the music, fab outro and thanks for a great video, nice to see you again bud, made my Xmas, happy Christmas to you and your familymy Gareth and as always God bless you
Thank you John, appreciated as always. Lovely sunrise wasn't it, I managed to capture it before the bad weather moved in. Thank you for the continued support this year and I wish you and your family a great Christmas. Take care 👍👍
Hi Gareth, Glad your back making top quality videos as always 👍🏻 It really does feel like we are there fishing with you. Happy new year to you & your family…. And I’m looking forward to seeing your next fishing adventure👍🏻 🎣
Thank you Richard, I appreciate it. Nice little session in fairness, the sunrise first thing was impressive and a few Whiting turned up which kept me busy. Shame it became so dark but I guess it is winter after all! Happy New Year, have a good one and take care 👍👍
Hello Gareth, it's great to see you again and I'm pleased you've had some time for a reset, we all need to do that from time to time. The camera work as usual was fantastic and the intro shots were truly stunning. I, and I'm sure everyone else who watches, appreciates the amount of time and work that you put in to make these videos and to do so whilst working full time is remarkable. It was good to see the cheapy old boat rod making a long awaited return and to say I'm shocked that it blanked is an understatement, are you sure you put any hooks on 😂 Those wet rocks look treacherous and just before you slipped, I was thinking to myself how dodgy it was walking on them. Thanks for another great video mate and I'm pleased for you to realise that doing TH-cam is to suit you and not vice versa, life's far too short to spend any of it doing things that become a chore, apart from work of course, we're all cursed with that, unless it's a pleasure, which it usually isn't for most people. You take care of yourself Gareth and I wish you a very happy Christmas and New Year, and as the outro song said, "every soul is an island", take care of yours mate and catch you on the next one.
Thank you Steve, I appreciate the kind words. Yes definitely, taking some time out was beneficial as I feel better for it. A lot of people think that being a TH-camr is glamorous but it's not, it can break you at times but I'll have a different approach/mindset from now on and that will enable me to enjoy it a lot more. Ha yes, I couldn't believe the cheapy old boat rod let me down, I think that's a first... there's always next time though! Those rocks can be lethal when wet, I've probably slipped on them hundreds of times in the past but thankfully no serious injuries as of yet! Nice little session though, that sunrise early on was incredible, a great sight. Thank you for the continued support and I hope you have a great Christmas and New Year! Cheers and take care 👍👍😍
Mate , great to see you back out there also good to hear your taking the tube at a better pace , its not a job mate, hope you all had a good xmas mate. Great you had time to reset gareth good luck mate and happy new year to you and yours ❤
Thank you Tony, appreciated as always mate. Yes that's right, I wouldn't want this to be my job, I gave up on that idea a long time ago ha! A nice little session, the sunrise first thing was impressive and the Whiting kept me busy. Hope all is good with you and the family, enjoy the festive period and have a good new year! Cheers Tone 👍😍
Lovely video Gareth! Really enjoyed it. It shouldn’t ever be about how many or how big. Just enjoy what fishing you can do. Super music too. Who is it?
Thank you Martyn, I appreciate that. Yes you're right, just nice being out there isn't it, spending some time next to the water. The song is called 'Every soul is an island' by Anita Tatlow. Cheers for watching 👍👍
And Merry Christmas to you Claire and thank you very much for the donation, I shall put it towards some bait. Thank you for watching, I appreciate it 👍👍
Thank you Ian. Yes I'll keep plodding away and will hopefully continue to produce the videos as and when. Hope you and your family have a good Christmas. Cheers as always 👍🎄
Nice one Gareth. Welcome back. Top tip for wet rocks: get some screw-in tungsten wader studs for your soles, from your local fishing shop. They're also brilliant in the snow!
Thank you Steve, it was nice to be out there again, I enjoyed the session. Nice one, I'll keep an eye out for those, will sure come in handy! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Great to see you back, Gar. I was getting worried. You're doing the right thing. Don't get tied to it. One of your great videos whenever you can. Job done! Have a great Christmas.
Thank you Matthew, it was nice to be out fishing again. I just needed a break from the filming so that I could find a new enthusiasm for it again. An enjoyable session, the sunrise first thing made it all worthwhile. You too, have a good one and take care 👍👍
Hi Gareth. Nice to see you back again making your video's, you need time to do other things, hopefully more to come enjoy your fishing again Gareth, happy Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you Paul, appreciated as always. Yes I just felt the need to take some time out from the filming as it was getting to me a little, the break did me good I think. And the same to you and yours, have a good one and enjoy! 👍👍
Good to see you back in action G. I particularly liked the opening shots. I was out on the boat last Friday and Whiting were the fish of the day….lots of them…..Tap,Tap,Tap.
Thank you Paul, appreciated as always. Yes the sunrise was special when I first arrived and I wanted to capture it before the rain moved in. Tap tap tap indeed, they're often there to save the day, glad to hear you had some on the boat. Cheers for watching, have a good one! 👍👍
Hi Gareth, great video again and those stills are brilliant ever thought about bringing out a river side with me calendar. Keep fishing and keep hold of those memories man.I’m from Northampton so do a lot of sea fishing maybe twice a month but when I watch your vids I’m on the beach yourself and frugal outdoors are the best sea fishing channels just great fishing and chat no advertising and awesome scenery once again great vid
Thank you Mark, much appreciated. I remember this session very well, awesome sunrise and that was a good start! Haha I've not considered a calendar but you never know, thanks for the idea! The marks I know and love are not as productive as they once were but I still enjoy spending time at them, many great memories. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍
Thank you Neil, much appreciated. Thankfully the sunrise was on good form when I arrived and I was able to get some nice footage of it. And the same to you and yours, have a good one 👍👍
@@morgandavies8007Yes I went fishing but just the once, it was a Newport night tide, nice frosty evening. No filming though, I fancied leaving the camera at home 👍
Great start to the video loved it 👏totally agree with you about TH-cam people can get too involved and pretend for all for the wrong reasons, the fishing should always come first it’s more to have something to look back on when am a old fart and for the family for me, didn’t know about anything like this when i used to fish with my dad shame. Have a good Xmas and take care 🎅👍
Thank you bud, I appreciate it. I bet you have some great memories of when you fished with your Dad. Yes that's right, fishing has always been my passion and the filming was making it less enjoyable, which is why I took a little break from it. I enjoyed this session, the sunrise early on was very impressive, although the cloud soon moved in ha! You too, have a good one and enjoy! 👍👍
Great to see you again. Lovely video and amazing sound track. Thanks for you honesty in your commentary, don't be a slave buddy, keep the MH strong. Merry Christmas and have a very prosperous and Happy New Year.
Thank you Ed. Thankfully, I managed to make the most of the sunrise before the bad weather came in. Lovely music isn't it, suited the venue quite well I thought. Yes that's right, I'll do what I can do and hopefully more to come. And the same to you, have a good one and enjoy! Cheers as always 👍👍
Hi Gareth great to see you back. lovely early Christmas present great video as ever nice to see the enthusiasm back and in joying it again hope you have a great Christmas and new year and look forward to more videos in 2024 thanks again for all the hard work you put in so we can watch
Thank you Einsley. I enjoyed being out there again. The sunrise first thing was special and thankfully I managed to get some nice footage of it before the bad weather moved in. I'm down Brixham in January, no doubt I'll have my fishing rods with me! Hope all is good with you, have a great Christmas and New Year and take care 👍👍
Great to see another vid back on your channel mate. Glad you took the break for your own sake. Obviously the right thing to do seeing the enthusiasm back in your fishing. Fantastic scenic shots and music as always. All the best..
Thank you Steve, appreciated as always. Yes that's it, I just felt the need to step away from the camera for a bit so that I could find some enthusiasm for it again. Nice little session, the sunrise was special when I arrived and the music suited the venue quite well I thought. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Hi Gareth great to see you out again doing what you love, and what i like to watch. Hope you and your family have a great christmas all the best Paul from Cardiff.🎣🎣
Thank you Paul, much appreciated. It was nice to be next to the water again, felt good. And the same to you and your family, have a great one...enjoy! Cheers 👍👍
Everybody needs a break from what they do every now and then. It's great to see you back hopefully revitalised and ready for the new year. Merry christmas!
Thank you bud, I appreciate it. Yes definitely, I needed some time away from the camera, I think it did me some good. Merry Christmas, have a good one! 👍👍
Great to see you back. Another great video we always enjoy your cinematography great for mind and soul. The strange thing was I was thinking about you and hoping all was ok this morning. The most important thing is that you enjoy making these videos and keep healthy in body, mind and soul.
Thank you bud, I appreciate the kind words. I needed to take a little break from the filming so that I could find a new level of enthusiasm for it again. Yes definitely, important to look after ourselves isn't it, especially during these challenging times. A nice little session, the sunrise made it all worthwhile. Until the next one, take care 👍👍
Thank you Steven, much appreciated. Yes the weather has been a little gloomy hasn't it, hopefully brighter skies to come. Cheers for watching, have a good one 👍👍
Great too see you back fishing, you do it when you feel like it no pressure, one of the lads I work with had a flounder and a rockling last week, a bit further up by the bridge.
Thanks bud, I appreciate it. Ah yes, there does seem to be a few Rockling about at the moment, a guy I work with had one last week just in front of the Lighthouse pub. Cheers as always, have a good one 👍👍
Great to see you back again with a great video. I have missed them but totally understand that you need a time out it’s a lot of pressure and it’s good to see you are doing them at your own pace. Keep up the great work
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. Yes I just felt the need to take some time out from TH-cam as it can take over at times. The break did me good though and it was nice to be out fishing again. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍
Another great video Gareth. Always enjoy your content. The awesome photography, words that you say and the fish that you catch. I hope you've had a lovely Christmas Day and I wish you a prosperous and peaceful 2024
Thank you Peter, appreciated as always. The sunrise was impressive when I first arrived and that was a good start to the session. And the same to you, have a good one and take care 👍👍
What a nice surprise seeing you back on the channel, It goes without saying we have missed you Gareth. Thank you. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas 🎉
Ah thank you James, nice of you to say. It was a nice little session, bit windy but enjoyable all the same. Hope you and your family have a good one, enjoy! 👍👍
nice one yet again Gareth, you have now got the right attitude and outlook regarding youtube slavery. enjoy your fishing sessions regardless of how often you do them and if you get a video out of the session then even better. have a great Christmas bud.
Thank you Paul, it was nice to be out there again and I enjoyed the session. Yeah that's it, will just do what I can when I can and will take it from there. Hope all is good with you, have a good one! Cheers 👍👍
Thanks Mike, it was good to be out again. Yes the Whiting kept the rod tips busy, missed a couple of bites but I guess that's fishing. Hope all is well, have a good one too 👍🎄
Thanks Dylan, appreciated as always. Yeah I'm fine thanks, my left knee is a little bruised but I'll live ha! I've slipped on those rocks hundreds of times over the years, they'll get me properly one day! Hope you and the family have a great Christmas, enjoy. Cheers mate 👍👍❤️
Great to see you back Gareth, you have certainly been missed. A great intro that was, the music with the scenes you gave us was awesome 👏 A few fish completed a great watch nice one 👍 You inspire me to get out and wet a line, Thanks for sharing that with us all, a very enjoyable watch Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year Regards Snowy
Thank you Nigel, that's nice of you to say. Having some time away from the camera did me good I think. Yes that sunrise was special wasn't it, they always seem to be impressive down there during winter. Didn't last for long mind you, those dark clouds soon moved in and so did the rain ha! Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year, enjoy! Cheers 👍👍
Nice to have you back and keep looking after yourself dude !! Your health in general is much more important than any content no matter how good it is and yours is always good and thoughtful
Thank you Hereward, much appreciated. It was nice to be out there again wetting a line. Yes you're right, looking after ourselves should always be the priority. Cheers for watching and take care 👍👍
Christmas bonus. Nice to see you back Gareth. I'm glad the Whiting helped beat the blank. Loved the music at the start of the video. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Tight lines. 🎣
Thank you Ian. Yes it was nice to see a few Whiting, used to catch loads down there during winter but they seem to be less in numbers around Newport nowadays. The sunrise was the highlight of the day I think, it was quite special. And the same to you and yours, have a good one and enjoy! Take care 👍👍
Great to see you back Gareth. Gotta look after yourself because no one else will do it for you. I love the music to this video….. what is the title and artist name please?
Thanks bud, it was good to be out there again, spending a few hours next to the water, a nice little session. The song is called 'Every soul is an Island' and it's by Anita Tatlow. Cheers for watching 👍👍

Thank you Andy. It was nice to be next to the water again, nice little session. Hope all is good with you. Cheers 👍👍
Missed you fella 😂
Ah thanks Steve, it was good to be out there again. Hope all is well, cheers as always 👍👍
I'm a bit late but just wanted to echo the other comments and say welcome back.
You certainly nailed it with this one. On a big tv and surround sound you take me back to my teens, fishing alongside my Dad.
Of course nothing beats experiencing it all in person but from the fabulous dawn light, gently waving bladderwrack, occasional small flocks of birds battling the elements and, alas, not catching much [!], you capture the experience so well.
As others have said, give me quality over quantity any time. Thank you Gareth, your efforts are very much appreciated.
Thank you Wayne, that's nice of you to say, I appreciate it. Sounds like you have some good memories of when you fished with your Dad, memories which last a lifetime. Yes that's it, not many fish feature in my videos and that's because the marks I fish are not as productive as they once were. But I just enjoy spending a few hours next to the water and admiring the surrounding wildlife etc, that's what it's all about for me nowadays. Cheers for watching 👍
Stay safe Gareth.
Thank you Jason. Hope all is well 👍👍
Cracking opening sound track Gareth... Helping chill me out onna stressful and busy night shift
Pleased to hear that it helped you to chill out John. I remember this day, nice little session it was. Cheers 👍
Nice to see you again
Thank you Richard, I appreciate it. Until the next one, take care 👍👍
Some of the best videos on TH-cam! Glad you are back mate, take it easy 👍
Thank you Scott, that's nice of you to say. It was good to be out there again wetting a line, I enjoyed the session. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Keep them eels coming Gareth! Another lovely video, mate.

I can't always make nice ones but I try my best. Cheers bud, enjoy the weekend 👍
Hi Gareth what a lovely video & a great present for me to see you back out again fishing glad to hear you have got your mind back in gear as I have suffered with mental illnesses but fishing & watching your videos makes me feel good thanks & merry Christmas to you all.
Thank you Michael, nice of you to say and I'm pleased to hear that the videos make you feel good, that's always my priority when making a film, to make them as relaxing as possible. Yes it's surprising how fragile the mind can be at times and taking some time out can help. Merry Christmas, hope you and yours have a good one. All the best 👍👍
Absoloutly fabulous start to finish. Music choice outstanding ❤
Thank you William. I remember this day very well...grey and overcast but enjoyable, it was nice to see a few Whiting about. Hope all is well, cheers for watching 👍
Good to see you mate.
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Another great story and video
Thank you William. I remember this session, it was an enjoyable morning in fairness. Cheers for watching 👍
Great to see you back Gareth 👍 That intro was excellent! Really enjoyed the video as usual 😀
Thank you Gary, I appreciate it. The sunrise first thing was impressive and I couldn't resist getting some footage of it! Hope all is well, cheers 👍👍
Great video looking forward to seeing more

Well done gareth nice to see you back out fishing glad you had a few fish mate
Thank you Del, it was nice to be out there fishing again, wetting a line. Hope all is good with you. Cheers 👍👍
Gareth disappeared when this 20mph malarky came in, coincidence i dont think so. It's enough to make anyone stressed 😂 welcome back gareth, top video as usual.
Ha yes, sounds about right...what a shambles that's proved to be! Thanks bud, it was a nice little session, the sunrise was a good start to the day. Hope all is good with you, take it easy 👍👍
Through all the doom and darkness in this country a glimmer of light shines through with the tranquil intro to the video. Certainly lifted my spirits.
Thank you bud, I'm pleased to hear that. The sunrise was impressive first thing and I couldn't resist capturing some nice scenery shots. I'm glad I did as the dark clouds soon moved in. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍👍
Nice to see you back Gareth, happy Christmas you too. 👍
Thank you Jason, it was nice to be out there wetting a line again. Have a good Christmas, take care 👍👍

Hi Gareth, hope you are keeping well. Was really happy to see a new video up. As always a great video i particularly enjoyed the scenery shots, and nice to see a few whiting.
Thank you Ed, I appreciate it. When I arrived the sunrise was special and I couldn't resist capturing some footage of it. Yes I was also pleased to see the Whiting, they certainly kept the rod tips busy. Hope all is good with you, take care 👍👍

Before i even start to watch this video, WELCOME BACK 😃 good to have you back Gareth 👍🏻
Thank you Scott, it was nice to be out there again. The sunrise first thing was a good sight and that set me up for the session. Hope all is good with you mate, cheers as always 👍👍
Just after you took a tumble on that rock and the vocalist kicked in I wondered if you appreciate your content as much as we do ? I hope so.
I'm probably my own worst critic, although I'm pleased that others enjoy the videos. The track in this video is by Anita Tatlow, it's very soothing. Cheers as always 👍
@@riversidewithme She is already on my Spotify playlist. very calming
@@foodandfishing1 Good stuff 👍
Love your vids bud. Keep fishing 👍🎣
Thanks mate, much appreciated. I'll hopefully be out fishing again soon with a bit of luck. Cheers 👍👍
Great to see you back Gareth!
Thank you Sebastian, it was nice to be out fishing again! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍

Thanks bud, it was nice to be out there again, spending a few hours next to the water. Hope all is well, cheers as always 👍👍
Brilliant intro, loved the music, fab outro and thanks for a great video, nice to see you again bud, made my Xmas, happy Christmas to you and your familymy Gareth and as always God bless you
Thank you John, appreciated as always. Lovely sunrise wasn't it, I managed to capture it before the bad weather moved in. Thank you for the continued support this year and I wish you and your family a great Christmas. Take care 👍👍
Hi Gareth,
Glad your back making top quality videos as always 👍🏻
It really does feel like we are there fishing with you.
Happy new year to you & your family…. And I’m looking forward to seeing your next fishing adventure👍🏻 🎣
Thank you Richard, I appreciate it. Nice little session in fairness, the sunrise first thing was impressive and a few Whiting turned up which kept me busy. Shame it became so dark but I guess it is winter after all! Happy New Year, have a good one and take care 👍👍
Hello Gareth, it's great to see you again and I'm pleased you've had some time for a reset, we all need to do that from time to time. The camera work as usual was fantastic and the intro shots were truly stunning.
I, and I'm sure everyone else who watches, appreciates the amount of time and work that you put in to make these videos and to do so whilst working full time is remarkable. It was good to see the cheapy old boat rod making a long awaited return and to say I'm shocked that it blanked is an understatement, are you sure you put any hooks on 😂
Those wet rocks look treacherous and just before you slipped, I was thinking to myself how dodgy it was walking on them.
Thanks for another great video mate and I'm pleased for you to realise that doing TH-cam is to suit you and not vice versa, life's far too short to spend any of it doing things that become a chore, apart from work of course, we're all cursed with that, unless it's a pleasure, which it usually isn't for most people.
You take care of yourself Gareth and I wish you a very happy Christmas and New Year, and as the outro song said, "every soul is an island", take care of yours mate and catch you on the next one.
Thank you Steve, I appreciate the kind words. Yes definitely, taking some time out was beneficial as I feel better for it. A lot of people think that being a TH-camr is glamorous but it's not, it can break you at times but I'll have a different approach/mindset from now on and that will enable me to enjoy it a lot more. Ha yes, I couldn't believe the cheapy old boat rod let me down, I think that's a first... there's always next time though! Those rocks can be lethal when wet, I've probably slipped on them hundreds of times in the past but thankfully no serious injuries as of yet! Nice little session though, that sunrise early on was incredible, a great sight. Thank you for the continued support and I hope you have a great Christmas and New Year! Cheers and take care 👍👍😍
Mate , great to see you back out there also good to hear your taking the tube at a better pace , its not a job mate, hope you all had a good xmas mate. Great you had time to reset gareth good luck mate and happy new year to you and yours ❤
Thank you Tony, appreciated as always mate. Yes that's right, I wouldn't want this to be my job, I gave up on that idea a long time ago ha! A nice little session, the sunrise first thing was impressive and the Whiting kept me busy. Hope all is good with you and the family, enjoy the festive period and have a good new year! Cheers Tone 👍😍
Lovely video Gareth! Really enjoyed it. It shouldn’t ever be about how many or how big. Just enjoy what fishing you can do.
Super music too. Who is it?
Thank you Martyn, I appreciate that. Yes you're right, just nice being out there isn't it, spending some time next to the water. The song is called 'Every soul is an island' by Anita Tatlow. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Your looking well,quality will always shine through,I’d rather watch one every few months ,just look after yourself
Merry Christmas to you. My partner loves fishing, and we love watching you. You are local to us xx
Thank you Andrew, nice of you to say. I'll keep plugging away and hopefully I can do one or two a month. Hope all is good with you, have a good one 👍👍
And Merry Christmas to you Claire and thank you very much for the donation, I shall put it towards some bait. Thank you for watching, I appreciate it 👍👍
Good for you mate, you need to do what's good for you !!!!tight lines all the best for you and your family 🎣🐟 🧑🎄
Thank you Ian. Yes I'll keep plodding away and will hopefully continue to produce the videos as and when. Hope you and your family have a good Christmas. Cheers as always 👍🎄
Nice one Gareth. Welcome back. Top tip for wet rocks: get some screw-in tungsten wader studs for your soles, from your local fishing shop. They're also brilliant in the snow!
Thank you Steve, it was nice to be out there again, I enjoyed the session. Nice one, I'll keep an eye out for those, will sure come in handy! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Thanks for uploading another video Gareth👌clad your back👍🏻
You're welcome bud. Thank you, it was nice to be out there again, wetting a line. Cheers as always, take care 👍👍
Great to see you back, Gar. I was getting worried. You're doing the right thing. Don't get tied to it. One of your great videos whenever you can. Job done! Have a great Christmas.
Thank you Matthew, it was nice to be out fishing again. I just needed a break from the filming so that I could find a new enthusiasm for it again. An enjoyable session, the sunrise first thing made it all worthwhile. You too, have a good one and take care 👍👍
Great to see you back! You were missed 😢
Thank you Kevin. It was nice to be back out there again, wetting a line. Hopefully I'll be out again soon. Cheers as always 👍👍
Hi Gareth. Nice to see you back again making your video's, you need time to do other things, hopefully more to come enjoy your fishing again Gareth, happy Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you Paul, appreciated as always. Yes I just felt the need to take some time out from the filming as it was getting to me a little, the break did me good I think. And the same to you and yours, have a good one and enjoy! 👍👍
Good to see you back in action G. I particularly liked the opening shots. I was out on the boat last Friday and Whiting were the fish of the day….lots of them…..Tap,Tap,Tap.
Thank you Paul, appreciated as always. Yes the sunrise was special when I first arrived and I wanted to capture it before the rain moved in. Tap tap tap indeed, they're often there to save the day, glad to hear you had some on the boat. Cheers for watching, have a good one! 👍👍
Hi Gareth , sometimes less is more, merry Christmas to you and yours.
Yes you're right there William, thank you. And the same to you and yours, have a good one. Cheers 👍👍
Hi Gareth, great video again and those stills are brilliant ever thought about bringing out a river side with me calendar. Keep fishing and keep hold of those memories man.I’m from Northampton so do a lot of sea fishing maybe twice a month but when I watch your vids I’m on the beach yourself and frugal outdoors are the best sea fishing channels just great fishing and chat no advertising and awesome scenery once again great vid
Thank you Mark, much appreciated. I remember this session very well, awesome sunrise and that was a good start! Haha I've not considered a calendar but you never know, thanks for the idea! The marks I know and love are not as productive as they once were but I still enjoy spending time at them, many great memories. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍
Great video Gareth, nice to have you back,Lovely scenery images and evocative soundtrack.Mery Xmas to you and yours.
Thank you Neil, much appreciated. Thankfully the sunrise was on good form when I arrived and I was able to get some nice footage of it. And the same to you and yours, have a good one 👍👍
Good to see your back fair play ! ❤️
Thank you Morgan, hope all is good with you. Onwards and upwards and all that, take care 👍👍
I wanted to ask you if you went fishing on the break you had. Just wondering if you was having a break from fishing or filming.
@@morgandavies8007Yes I went fishing but just the once, it was a Newport night tide, nice frosty evening. No filming though, I fancied leaving the camera at home 👍
Absolutely love you mate awesome been waiting awhile keep going my son love you from the family 💕
Thank you Darren, nice of you to say. I'll keep plodding away and hopefully more videos to come. Cheers for watching and take care 👍😍
Made up your back mate , cracking lad , and great videos 👍👍
Thank you Andrew, I appreciate it. Hopefully more videos to come with a bit of luck. Cheers 👍👍
Great to see you back Gareth mate, 👍🏼👍🏼appreciate your efforts
Thanks bud, appreciated as always. Hope all is good with you. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Great start to the video loved it 👏totally agree with you about TH-cam people can get too involved and pretend for all for the wrong reasons, the fishing should always come first it’s more to have something to look back on when am a old fart and for the family for me, didn’t know about anything like this when i used to fish with my dad shame.
Have a good Xmas and take care 🎅👍
Thank you bud, I appreciate it. I bet you have some great memories of when you fished with your Dad. Yes that's right, fishing has always been my passion and the filming was making it less enjoyable, which is why I took a little break from it. I enjoyed this session, the sunrise early on was very impressive, although the cloud soon moved in ha! You too, have a good one and enjoy! 👍👍
Sometimes we need to take a step back to continue going forward... Nice to see you back mate
Very true that Gavin, you're right there. Thank you, it was nice to be out fishing again, a rough day but an enjoyable session. Cheers 👍👍
Great to see you again. Lovely video and amazing sound track. Thanks for you honesty in your commentary, don't be a slave buddy, keep the MH strong. Merry Christmas and have a very prosperous and Happy New Year.
Thank you Ed. Thankfully, I managed to make the most of the sunrise before the bad weather came in. Lovely music isn't it, suited the venue quite well I thought. Yes that's right, I'll do what I can do and hopefully more to come. And the same to you, have a good one and enjoy! Cheers as always 👍👍

Great to see another vid back on your channel mate. Glad you took the break for your own sake. Obviously the right thing to do seeing the enthusiasm back in your fishing. Fantastic scenic shots and music as always. All the best..
Thank you Steve, appreciated as always. Yes that's it, I just felt the need to step away from the camera for a bit so that I could find some enthusiasm for it again. Nice little session, the sunrise was special when I arrived and the music suited the venue quite well I thought. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Hi Gareth great to see you out again doing what you love, and what i like to watch. Hope you and your family have a great christmas all the best Paul from Cardiff.🎣🎣

Everybody needs a break from what they do every now and then. It's great to see you back hopefully revitalised and ready for the new year. Merry christmas!
Thank you bud, I appreciate it. Yes definitely, I needed some time away from the camera, I think it did me some good. Merry Christmas, have a good one! 👍👍
Great to see you back. Another great video we always enjoy your cinematography great for mind and soul. The strange thing was I was thinking about you and hoping all was ok this morning. The most important thing is that you enjoy making these videos and keep healthy in body, mind and soul.
Thank you bud, I appreciate the kind words. I needed to take a little break from the filming so that I could find a new level of enthusiasm for it again. Yes definitely, important to look after ourselves isn't it, especially during these challenging times. A nice little session, the sunrise made it all worthwhile. Until the next one, take care 👍👍
Great to see you back Gareth - great treat on this gloomy Christmas Eve.
Thank you Steven, much appreciated. Yes the weather has been a little gloomy hasn't it, hopefully brighter skies to come. Cheers for watching, have a good one 👍👍
Great too see you back fishing, you do it when you feel like it no pressure, one of the lads I work with had a flounder and a rockling last week, a bit further up by the bridge.
Thanks bud, I appreciate it. Ah yes, there does seem to be a few Rockling about at the moment, a guy I work with had one last week just in front of the Lighthouse pub. Cheers as always, have a good one 👍👍
Great to see you back again with a great video. I have missed them but totally understand that you need a time out it’s a lot of pressure and it’s good to see you are doing them at your own pace. Keep up the great work
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. Yes I just felt the need to take some time out from TH-cam as it can take over at times. The break did me good though and it was nice to be out fishing again. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍
We missed you Gareth. Cracking video as ever. Look after yourself Bud.
Have a wonderful Christmas.
Thank you Rick, I appreciate that. It was a nice little session, I enjoyed it. You too, have a good one! Cheers 👍👍

Thank you Paul, it was nice to be out there again and I enjoyed the session. Yeah that's it, will just do what I can when I can and will take it from there. Hope all is good with you, have a good one! Cheers 👍👍
Good to see you back on the beach .Some decent sized whiting starting to show too , always a bonus
Have a great xmas 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Mike, it was good to be out again. Yes the Whiting kept the rod tips busy, missed a couple of bites but I guess that's fishing. Hope all is well, have a good one too 👍🎄
Awesome mate, was so pleased to see you uploaded again. Hope you didn't hurt yourself too much with that slip. Have an amazing Christmas buddy👍🎣🎣
Thanks Dylan, appreciated as always. Yeah I'm fine thanks, my left knee is a little bruised but I'll live ha! I've slipped on those rocks hundreds of times over the years, they'll get me properly one day! Hope you and the family have a great Christmas, enjoy. Cheers mate 👍👍❤️
Great to see you back Gareth, you have certainly been missed.
A great intro that was, the music with the scenes you gave us was awesome 👏
A few fish completed a great watch nice one 👍
You inspire me to get out and wet a line,
Thanks for sharing that with us all, a very enjoyable watch
Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year
Regards Snowy
Thank you Nigel, that's nice of you to say. Having some time away from the camera did me good I think. Yes that sunrise was special wasn't it, they always seem to be impressive down there during winter. Didn't last for long mind you, those dark clouds soon moved in and so did the rain ha! Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and New Year, enjoy! Cheers 👍👍
Nice to have you back and keep looking after yourself dude !! Your health in general is much more important than any content no matter how good it is and yours is always good and thoughtful
Thank you Hereward, much appreciated. It was nice to be out there again wetting a line. Yes you're right, looking after ourselves should always be the priority. Cheers for watching and take care 👍👍
Lovely to have you back Gareth, nice surprise. Have a superb Christmas 🎄
Thank you Paul, I appreciate that, it was nice to be out fishing again. You too, have a good one, enjoy! 👍🎄
Nice to see you back man , if you ever fancy a session down porthcawl I would be more than happy to join you 🎣
Thank you Scott, I appreciate it. Ah yes I love the Porthcawl marks, need to get back down there soon. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Gareth what’s wonderful introduction welcome back to our beautiful coast merry Christmas
Thank you Royston, that sunrise was special wasn't it, I'm glad I caught it in time as the bad weather soon moved in. Merry Christmas, take care 👍👍
Christmas bonus. Nice to see you back Gareth. I'm glad the Whiting helped beat the blank. Loved the music at the start of the video. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Tight lines. 🎣
Thank you Ian. Yes it was nice to see a few Whiting, used to catch loads down there during winter but they seem to be less in numbers around Newport nowadays. The sunrise was the highlight of the day I think, it was quite special. And the same to you and yours, have a good one and enjoy! Take care 👍👍
Great to see you back Gareth. Gotta look after yourself because no one else will do it for you. I love the music to this video….. what is the title and artist name please?
Thanks bud, it was good to be out there again, spending a few hours next to the water, a nice little session. The song is called 'Every soul is an Island' and it's by Anita Tatlow. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Glad to see you back at it. Really enjoyed that. Looking forward to the next one
Thanks bud, much appreciated. Hopefully more to come in the new year, cheers for watching 👍👍
