- Sea Fishing on Brixham Breakwater in Torbay, South Devon. Brixham is one of my favourite places and the fishing is pretty special too. During the daytime, great fun can be had with the spinner, lure and float, for species such as Mackerel, Garfish, Pollock, Wrasse etc. During the night, fishing on the bottom is also productive and you never quite know what you're going to catch...Whiting, Pouting, Conger Eel, Bull Huss, Bass, Bream, Rockling etc. When it comes to fishing Torbay, this is one of my favourite marks!
Thank you for watching, it is very much appreciated. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, no problem.

thanks for sharing, biggest mackie i ever got, was just under 4lb in scotland years ago.
You're welcome Brian. Nice, a 4lb Mackerel is a very good fish in fairness! Cheers for watching 👍
Well done fella. First time iv come across your channel . I am Brixham born and bread. Great that you have captured my boat alongside the inner Breakwater . She is called Lovely Maid next boat down with the grey canopy. I have just subscribed to your channel . Tight Lines.
Thank you Robert, I appreciate it. I visit Brixham a few times a year and I will look out for your boat the next time I'm down. I always look forward to returning, the fishing is usually quite good in fairness, nice to see such a variety of species. Cheers for watching 👍
@@riversidewithme thanks look fwd to more .By the way my boat now has a blue canopy. Google "Brixham harbour webcam" and it will show you on live cam all the harbour great for weather watching , see how many are fishing ect. Tight lines.
Another thoroughly enjoyable video. I too love Brixham as I spent a lot of holidays there in my youth. I fished the breakwater a bit but my favorite places were St Mary's Bay , a lovely little beach and Sharkham Point , both on the other side of Berry Head. You also set such a good example to others by returning most of what you catch and only keeping what you need.
Thank you David, very much appreciated. Yes it's a great place, I try and get down there at least twice a year. I've fished Berry Head a few times but not the other two marks which you've mentioned...thanks for the info, I shall check these out when I'm down there next. I also like the rocky area which is the other side of the Harbour, towards Fishcombe Cove, I've had some good sessions there in the past. Cheers 👍👍
another great vid mate great stuff a pleasure to watch brill thanks for uploading it an taking the time to show people well done mate
Thank you Laurance, appreciated as always. It was great to see some nice Whiting, we used to catch loads like that during Winter around the Newport area. I love Brixham, hopefully be back down there in the autumn when the prices drop a little. Cheers for watching, hopefully more to come soon 👍👍🐟
Nice one Gareth lovely fishing!!! Cheers Ian 👍🎣
Thanks Ian. Having had a couple of quiet sessions of late, it was nice to get a few fish. Hopefully I'll be back down there within a few months. Cheers 👍👍
Very well put together video ,well presented in a friendly very down to earth .brilliant thank you 😀👍🇮🇪
Thanks Dave. That mark usually produces a fish or two, been lucky there over the years. Hoping to go back there in January for a weekend, should be some big Whiting about! Cheers 👍👍
Brilliant watch once again Gareth, looks like you had a few busy sessions which is great stuff.
Nice to see plenty of fish being caught and good to see the mackerel are still about. 👍
I'm off down Pembrokeshire in 2 weeks so will be taking the rods will let you know I get on.
Look forward to the next vid.
Cheers Dale. Yes there were plenty of fish out there and it was very enjoyable, the decent Whiting pleased me more than anything, good to see. Down Brixham, the Mackerel hang around until January, hard to believe I know. Hope you get some luck down Pembrokeshire and yes, please keep me updated as to how you're getting on. Cheers 👍👍
We go to Brixham round about March and October, love the breakwater, Shoalstone beach and Battery gardens, catching Gars, mackerel on the float and lures, dogs and whiteing on the bottom. Used to fish the Quarry but too old to walk back up the hill now. Good video, well done on catch and release.
Thank you, I appreciate it. Yeah
these days I return the majority of fish I catch, keep the odd one but that's it. I love Battery Gardens and actually did some fishing there last week, one of my favourite spots. Have done the Quarry a few times but yes, that hill is a tough one! I hope you get plenty of fish when you visit next March. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Another cracking video.love Brixham we used to stay at the pontins camp wall park which is sadly no more always used to fish berry head fresh mackerel for breakfast every morning.keep up the good work look forward to the next one👍
Cheers Michael, appreciate it as always. Shame that the Pontins camp has now gone but I bet you had some cracking sessions at Berry Head in that deep water. Aghhh yes, you can't beat fresh Mackerel for breakfast, doesn't get much better than that. I've caught my biggest Mackerel at Brixham during the month of November 👍👍
Nice one Gareth, an eventful few days fishing. Good to see. 👍.Fished the breakwater myself a few years back whilst on holiday. Lovely place.
Just come back from chesil beach. Some good sized bream came out and full of joey mackerel. Seems to be some fish about. Keep it up mate 👍
Thank you Matt. Yeah I love Brixham, been going for a number of years now. Nice to see so many fish about and getting the decent Whiting brought back lots of memories. Glad to hear you had some action at Chesil, always nice to get a Bream or two. Cheers 👍👍
Great video love brixhan great fish old quarry Berry head great spot tight lines
Thanks Adam, much appreciated. Yeah it's a great place, will hopefully be back down there in a few months. Have fished Berry Head a few times, great spot. 👍👍
Nice to see some tidy whiting Gareth , Brixham and Teignmouth are 2 of my go to places every year for fun fishing.
Cheers Allen. Yes the Whiting were on good form that week and in fairness, it usually fishes very well there. I've not fished Teignmouth but I was only looking at that area the other week as I fancy it👍👍
Gareth thanks a lot again. Great watch in bed Saturday morning with a cup of nice tea.
Hi Wayne, hope all is good with you. Glad you enjoyed this one, I'm hoping to be back down Brixham in the Autumn when the prices drop a little. New video going on this evening. Cheers as always 👍👍
gareth that was great mate , i do love brixham i fish over the other side on the farthest point out to the left on the rocks . great video chap take care mate
Cheers Tony, appreciate it. Yes I know the spot you mean, I've had some great fishing off those rocks in the past, nice and quiet there too! Will keep an eye out for your next video. Enjoy the rest of the weekend mate.
Another great upload Gareth. Lloks like you had a ton of action down there. Looking forward to the whiting coming in. I find them to be really good eating. We have them as a target species in a fortnight, so hoping I can get a couple. Take care buddy👍👍
Thanks Dylan. Yeah it was literally every cast, didn't get a minute to myself ha, great fun. I agree, Whiting taste great and are very much underated. I shallow fry them in a nice beer batter, can't beat it. Hope you manage to get a few during the coming weeks. Cheers bud 👍👍
That looked really enjoyable! Great vid!
Thank you, I appreciate it. Yes it was an enjoyable week in fairness, I love it down there. Cheers 👍
Great video plenty off fish during your week there. Only been once as a school kid loverly place looks great to fish. Some nice size whiting getting a lot more up here this year of a good size but not so many cod or people are being very quiet. Great video well out together and great pictures of sunset. All the best cid soon down your way I guess. All the best Vernon.
Cheers Vern, appreciate your comments as always. Yeah I love Brixham, been going for a number of years now and in fairness, it usually fishes very well. Nice to see some good Whiting, we used to get them like that up our way when I was a kid but they seem to be thin on the ground these days. Few Cod being caught locally and so hopefully I can get one or two during the coming weeks. See you on the next one 👍👍
Really enjoyed the video Gareth. Good fun catching all those Whiting. Shame you lost that conger. 😃🐬🐬
Thanks Neil, glad you enjoyed. Yeah the Whiting were on good form that evening, I do have a bit of a soft spot for them them be honest. I've had some nice Conger off there in the past but unfortunately, that one was too clever for me ha! Cheers 👍👍
Some lovely whiting well done👏👏👍
Thanks Neil, much appreciated. Yeah I love fishing for Whiting, they bring back good memories for me. Thankfully a few nice ones turned up during this session and they certainly kept the rod tips busy! Cheers for watching 👍👍🐟
Superb selection of fish on this one. Nice to see the action now and again but for me, the near blanks saved by a baby doggy or two are why I keep watching. Thanks for all your hard work.
Thank you Paul. Yes Brixham is like an aquarium, fish everywhere throughout the year, many different species. Pleased to hear that you enjoy the near blanks, I sometimes get a little paranoid when I catch no fish ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
you're fishing in my neck of the woods I'm just down the road in Exmouth awesome video as usual Gareth
Cheers Richard, appreciate it mate. I see, interesting. I've never actually done any fishing at Exmouth but looks like there are some good marks there... maybe one you can give me a guided tour ha. 👍👍
Great video mate.
Nice to meet you on Brixham slipway,looking forward to seeing the footage.
Thanks mate, much appreciated. Was nce to meet you too. Hopefully the video will be uploaded this coming Friday. Cheers
Another great video Gareth keep them coming very inspirational 👌
Cheers Kevin, glad you enjoyed it. Brixham usually produces a few fish in fairness and thankfully, a few turned up that week. Thanks for watching 👍👍
@@riversidewithme I love Devon and Dorset as a summer change from the Bristol channel,it's nice to scale the gear down and enjoy the fight . Thanks for the videos they keep the enthusiasm alive , catch you on the beach soon 👌💪
@@kevinthomas8029 Me too, nice to have a change from the Bristol Channel hot chocolate ha. Yes no doubt I'll bump into you at some point 👍
Cracking vid. I’ve been to Cornwall but never Devon. Might try go in the coming weeks when it gets quiet! Great vid as always. Started making my own vids lately too, good fun - makes a blank worth fishing!
Thanks Benjamin, much appreciated. Yes I've been going to Brixham for a number of years now and the fishing is usually quite good in fairness. I'm hoping to go back in December. All the best with your channel, I shall check out your videos 👍
Brilliant film 👍 its like watching fishing hosted by a young Hugh Edwards 👍👍👍 .
Ha thank you Matt, I appreciate it. I'm hoping to get back down there later this Spring, that's the plan anyway! Cheers for watching 👍👍
Nice bit of fishing there butty. Thank you
You're welcome Dai. Yeah I love Brixham, hopefully will be back down there in a month or so, try a bit of night fishing. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Nice couple of sessions. 🎣
Thanks Ian. Yes a good bit of action in fairness, plenty of bites and fish too, can't be bad 👍👍
Thank you, sir. Very enjoyable and informative. For the novice, if you show us the rig, maybe a few pointers on baiting up, etc. Cheers.
Thank you John, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes no problem, I'll bear this in mind when making future videos. Have a good weekend, cheers 👍👍
Enjoyed it mate. Nice calm no stupid banging music behind.👍
Thanks mate. I usually do well at that spot, rarely lets me down and also Brixham is my favourite place for a holiday. Hoping to go back for a couple of days before the end of Winter. Cheers 👍👍
I'm sure I've spook before love this place my biggest huss of 13 lb . And wat a day on the float
That's a cracking Huss Ashley, well done! Yes me too, I wish I lived a little closer, I'd be fishing there all of the time ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍
Small fish, live bait, oh god l cannot beleave you put them back... 🤔🏴🐟Bass, bass, bass... 🏴
Very true Albert, they were the perfect size for a live bait. I've never caught a Bass at this venue although I have seen them in the marina. Thanks for watching.
Cracking session mate ! Full on fishing 🎣 👌
Cheers welshmen in crete greece 🇬🇷
Thank you Simon. Yes it was certainly a busy couple of sessions, I don't think the rod tips stopped bouncing, which made a nice change to be honest. Hope you're enjoying Crete👍👍
Hi I've just sold my house here 🥲after watching you guys fishing at all the marks I grew up on is killing me 🤣🤣 so I return in late November hopefully there will be some cod for me to catch 🤞🤞we left Wales in 2004 and came to crete but now its time to come home because I've really missed my fishing and you are just making it unbearable 🤣🤣so I'll hopefully see you soon on the beach, keep the videos coming. And also I'll start my own TH-cam channel so any tips on editing on a gopro 9 would be great 👍
@@simondavies5411 Yes, the marks are calling you and it's about time you came home now haha. It would be nice if a few Cod showed up this year... my best was at Goldcliff in November 2019, it weighted 8 pounds 6 and took a Rag/Squid cocktail. Yes you never know, may see you out and about. Good luck with your channel...I also use use a go pro 9, the quality is great but one thing about the go pros, they don't like low light conditions and so if doing night fishing, make sure you have good lighting behind the camera 👍👍
gotta love them little gutsy fish that are prepared to try and eat aomething bigger than themselves🤣
Ha yes, they're not shy are they, brave little things! I'll hopefully be back down Brixham soon, the fishing is always good.
Great video,I really enjoyed it
Cheers Andrew, glad you enjoyed it. Was nice to get a few fish 👍👍
@@riversidewithme you should try the mackerel jetty at milfordhaven if you like whiting ,as soon as it gets dark bang your in some big buggers to
@@andrewhaden7822 Sounds great, thanks for the recommendation. I've not done much fishing in that area but plan on doing so. I do like my Whiting fishing...when I was a kid, Dad and I used to catch some crackers on the tidal Usk next to the Transporter Bridge, great memories.
@9.33 there is a seal to the left of you , great video again mate.
Cheers Les. Well done on spotting the seal...it wasn't until I watched the video back that I noticed it ha. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Was a great session that mate, surprised you never run out of bait.
Thanks Alan, it's like an Aquarium down there, fish everywhere. Thankfully the bait lasted but it was touch and go ha! Cheers for watching 👍👍
@@riversidewithme it's my pleasure mate, full of good content & very enjoyable to watch.
Mate I love your videos.. they way you put them together.. everything... even the fish .. why you always fishing alone.. I'd fish with you if your ever around bristol..
Cheers mate, I appreciate it. It's hard work filming and fishing at the same time but I do enjoy it. I do go fishing with my friends but when I film I tend to be on my own. Thanks for the offer, will bear that in mind, I need to do more fishing over the bridge around the Bristol area. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Fantastic mackerel and decent size Whiting in the same session in Kent if I
It's mackerel time the Whiting are very small what time of year was this
Thanks John, it was certainly an enjoyable session. This was filmed in late October but down at Brixham, the Mackerel can be caught throughout the year. The bigger Whiting tend to thin out a little come early February. Cheers 👍👍
Hi Gareth excellent video really appreciated your content mate I often travel with my family to Brixham but never fished it surprisingly enough! But I will now when was the video mate because the mackerel are normally a summer fish so if this was November time its strange they we're in in numbers or is it? Do they stay in longer around the Devon and Cornwall coastline
Also it seems the bigger whiting may like the fish baits more then possibly worm baits
Thanks mate, much appreciated. This was filmed mid October. At Brixham, I've had Mackeral throughout the winter and my best ones have been between November and January, despite the fact they're classed as a Summer fish. When it comes to Devon/Cornwall, they can be caught many months of the year, less so between February and April. Yeah the bigger Whiting definitely prefer the fish baits and they should be there until late January. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Good video again👍
Thanks Michael. I've had a few quiet sessions of late and so it was nice to be getting plenty of action👍
@@riversidewithme look forward too seeing them👍
I went down lamby way boat yard near tesco Pengam had a bass and eel. Loved it
Cheers for replying👍
@@riversidewithme Caught both of a single rag worm 🪱
@@michaelbrine2180 Great stuff, well done 👍. Always nice to get a Bass
@@michaelbrine2180 A great bait is ragworm, catches many different species. I don't go anywhere without it👍👍
Loved the video again Gareth! How long did it take you to drive down from ‘our’ next of the woods? Seems a long way to go for a day’s fishing. Looked amazing fun though. So I might be tempted. Looking forward to your winter vids. Regards Clive 👍
Cheers Clive, appreciate your comments as always. It takes approximately 2h15 mins to get there. Been going to Brixham for a number of years now and the fishing is always excellent in fairness. I was there on holiday that week but I think I would be tempted to drive there just for one or two sessions as I like the place so much. Hopefully not too long now until the next video. Thanks for watching 👍
@@riversidewithme Superb! I think that’s do-able. Right then I’ll think about doing that. Keep em coming Gareth ! 👍
another enjoyable video..have you ever tried Teignmouth ?
Thank you Shane, appreciate it. No I haven't fished Teignmouth but would like to one day. Have you?
Hello...thankyou for this video...its great ..I really enjoyed it and you presented it beautifully. Can you tell us what tackle you are using please...the type of rod and your real and line strength...thankyou...Also do you make your rigs yourself or do you buy them ready made? I'm just starting to get into fishing and all the different tackle is a bit confusing..Thankyou...Good Luck.
Thank you David, I appreciate that and I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos. Yes I make all of my own rigs, I enjoy doing that. I would suggest popping to your local tackle shop and they will be able to provide you with all of the advice and equipment you require, as they will be familiar with the places you intend to fish. As you're just starting out, I wouldn't spend more than £100.00 on reel and no more than £120.00 on a rod, then you can see how you go. Cheers for watching 👍
Bet u kept last mackerel gar 4😊🙌
Haha I can't remember if I did or not...I think I kept three in total and returned the others 👍👍
Thinking of trying the breakwater this week 14th October what species will be around mate? Is there water to fish all day as I’m travelling down to brixham from Chepstow for the day?
Hi Andrew, all of the Summer species will still be around - Mackerel, Wrasse, Garfish, Pollock...so the lighter gear wil be fine for those during daytime. As for other species on the beachcasters, should be a few early Whiting about, although maybe a little early for the bigger ones, Pouting, Dogfish, Bull Huss and Conger. There is water all day off the breakwater, although it does drop (can fish either side) but I prefer to fish 2 hours before, 2 hours after and as for beachcasting tactics, I've always done better during the evening/night. Cheers 👍👍
Fished goldcliff yesterday first time went to cods corner fished to the left in the bsy what's it like to the right of the steps where you park the car by the tea rooms
To the right of the steps is like much of Goldcliff...can be great one day and poor the next. To the right there's an area known as The Marl...wait for the smallest of tides and you can walk out on the hard ground and fish 5/6 hours before high water. Good for the Cod in the winter 👍👍
Great video! Was that a seal to your left @ 9:38?
Thanks mate, I appreciate it. Yes it was a seal, although I only noticed it when I watched the video ha! Thanks for watching 👍
whats that in the water left bottom at 09:36 to 09:53? did you see it?
It was a seal chasing a fish. You get lots of them down there, they come really close to the wall. Cheers 👍
Hi Gareth, What month was that filmed?
Hi Matthew, it was filmed in late October 👍
Thanks Gareth, I’ve got a holiday home in Brixham, fished Slapton Sands and St Mary’s, I’ll give breakwater a try one day!
What time of the year was this video done please Gareth
Hi Steve, I filmed this 4 weeks ago, mid October 👍
@@riversidewithme Thank you Gareth
Where did you stay mate? We go at least once a year. Harbour view we stay at
Hiya Jack...we usually stay at Moorings Reach next to the marina but it was fully booked and so we stayed at a place called Skipper's Cottage, not too far from the harbour. We also go every year, always look forward to a Brixham break 👍
@@riversidewithme stunning isn't it. Normally go for my birthday in July and new years eve for a meal out been going for 10 years now hopefully we can arrange a mackeral session down there
@@JackMeredith1995 Yeah it's a cracking place, always hate the last day of the holiday when you have to come home ha! Nice one, you must be a Brixham expert by now as you've been going for so long. Yes we will have that Mackerel session, get that most of the year down there 👍
Cracking busy couple of sessions fella. See if you can bring some of those Whiting back to South Wales with you bud, it's very quiet at our neck of the woods for the Codling and Tings as you know. Thanks for sharing
@@richiethespark get down knab rock in mumbles mate 3 hook flappers slithers of mackeral plenty of whiting about bud
We’re you tempted to use the small pouting as live bait?
I've done it before down there but with limited success and besides, I had plenty of bait 👍
What is bluey.
It's Pacific Saury (Bluey is the nickname) A very oily fish like Mackerel and now a popular bait due to its scent 👍
It's ok as a holiday, but to live here, not very nice to be honest. You have the Ferrell element that spoil the tranquility for all. Don't fish Sharkham point as cars get trashed when your away.
Shame isn't it. Same with a lot of places where I live, nice to visit and look at but ruined by the minority and it seems to be getting worse. I was going to fish Sharkham Point but now I'll get dropped off instead of leaving my car there! Cheers 👍👍
@@riversidewithme If you fish Sharkham, go to the top car park and walk straight up to the head. You can see a flat rock which you have to climb down, brilliant for Wrasse (my biggest was just over 5lb) good bass off there on lures. Tight lines.
@@devonshire5482 Thanks for the information bud, that's good to know! Well done on the Wrasse, that's a lovely fish! Tight lines 👍
Hi Gareth yet another great video . It's nice to see someone catching fish for a change..
Never fished brixham. But that could change this winter. Could you recommend a good tackle shop in the area.
Keep safe and I am looking forward to your next video .all the best from the bedwas .blank specialist...
Thank you Wayne, much appreciated. Year it's a different world down there, usually get a few fish which makes a nice change! Come late October there should be some nice Whiting off the breakwater. There's a good tackle shop in the harbour called Brixham Bait and Tackle, it's run by Graham and his son... excellent shop and very helpful too. Ha, the bedwas blank specialist, I like it! Although I wouldn't worry, I tend to blank more than most!! Cheers for watching 👍👍
@@riversidewithme hi mate thanks for the reply it's nice to know that there is a tackle shop at the location . Loved the new blog all the best from the bedwas blanker.
Great video! Are you aware of the sea otter in your video bottom left of the screen 9:33. Looks like an otter or maybe small seal 🦦 🦭
Thanks mate, much appreciated. At the time when I was fishing, I didn't spot the seal but I did when I watched the video afterwards. There were quite a few about that day, they were chasing the shoals of Mackerel and small Pollock. Cheers 👍👍
