Lost my wife of 33 years 4 months ago. Been in a serious hole popping antidepressants for fun. Have a couple of mental health carers keeping in touch with me to help but tbh my 3 spaniels have kept me alive. Watching your videos has encouraged me to dig out my old fishing gear and sorting out for a trip somewhere (dog friendly) soonish. I am based SW Scotland but fished Paul on the Humber but out of the car park, not wading through that shite. Keep the videos coming!
Keep yourself busy and engaged by doing something. It helps tremendously. Sorry about your loss. Fishing has been very beneficial to me in terms of coping with mental health issues
Hope that life gets easier for you mate and I'm totally with you on the companionship of dogs and the love they give back .sorry for your loss.good luck and hope that you don't need to be taking that medication for long.
Sorry to hear of your loss mate. Glad to hear though that you still have your loyal companions to keep you company, and even more pleased to hear you're dusting off the gear. Best of luck, when you do get out matey. Keep your chin up and make the most of what you have 💙
Keep strong mate I lost my wife 3years ago we were together 22year I ended up loosing my home aswell hit rock bottom big time I also have massive mental health problems take each day as it comes and I promise you it will get easier take care mate 🙏
Ive just started watching this and enjoy it very much. It calms my mind in an otherwise chaotic life. I cant fish wish I could. My brother was a keen sea fisherman but sadly had a heart attack and passed away only 51. I miss him everyday. Seeing these guys reminds me times i spent with him, often not saying much. I think he must have had the weight of the world on him. Cheers guys. Keep fishing.
I agree Mark. So many studies have shown that our brains need some time to do 'Nothing', even though we are actually doing something. Wet Line is a great example, even net, trap or laid lines; all have 'the time' taken doing something in prep', that is deep in our historical behaviour and 'Genetic Memory'. The studies show stress reduction, greater immune respose and more regular sleep paterns. As for the laughter... I can go on with all the brain chemistry... but that would end up being a shaggy dog. "With my disposition... I'd rather go... " m out
Dirty indeed mate. And yes, I'm warmed by the comments. Just goes to show you can open up and have people there to listen and lend support, regardless of where it comes from.
@@theawfulanglerThank you. I did send you another reply but it does not seem to have gone through I have 12lbs of old lead piping in my garage which you you are most welcome to. If you're passing York let me know and it's yours. Should make quite a few leads or can be swapped with Liam at Scarborough for new ones.
Nice video Alex but that mud is bad i couldn't stand fishing in that. Always have a good bit of banter when i go fishing with my mate helps you forget all the crap in the world. Thanks Alex.
Yeah it's not my ideal either mate. Good for a change now and again, but won't become my regular spot! That's what it's all about, getting out, some fresh air, banter, and decompress.
What a muddy session, never seen anything like it. great funny video though had me chuckling. Stunning weather. Shame it was a blank, Looking forward to your next video, tight lines buddy 🎣🎣
This was right of the car park, but passed the playing field and at low water. I know it's a popular spot, but so far it ain't that popular with me haha
Another cracking video Alex. Looks ABIT messy down at Paul only ever fished car part. I would have gone A over T in that mud 🤣. Any chance of doin a short blog on how you make ya baits up plz mine never turn out like that looks in pressive cheers👍
Cheers Neil, one of us did go A$$ first in it, and it wasn't me 😆 A few people have asked for rig and bait tutorials, so leave it with me buddy I'll pull something together next time I'm out
Similar to Redwick, South Wales. Mud hell, but big Cod can be caught on that mark. Next time you’re down here Alex have a crack at that mark. All the best.
Unlucky fella. No fun when you’ve got all that crap in the water looking to snag your line. As you said if the fish ain’t there you just not going to catch them. Always nice to be out though. Thanks for sharing buddy.
I waded out up to me 🥜 not long before the end of the session and gave everything a quick scrub. At least 80% of it didn't come back with me in the van.
Tough going mate paddling in that lol.. Been some garbage in the river recently with the wet weather we've had.. Been some nice cod coming out but slim pickings alex.. Ill give it a go Saturday.. Tight lines and take care pal 🎣🎣👍
Good work keeping the flag flying for mens mental health,i reckon fishing is one of the best things you can do to switch off...i mean,that was a gash session you had there,but looked a right laugh,some of the best sessions i have had,have been the ones where little or nothing was caught,but the company was spot on.
Catching is a bonus in my eyes. The sights you get to see when sea fishing, being immersed in nature, switching off, and if you're that way inclined, fishing with good company. It's the best tonic for life's stresses.
@@theawfulangler couldnt have put it better myself,although 4 casts and 4 sets of lost tackle last trip out did make me "need" a takeaway on way home lol
You sure know how to sell venues to us. Been thinking about fishing the Humber for ages but always turn left instead. I think I'll keep that left indicator on.😅😅
Unlucky on the Blank Alex but always next time mate and I wouldn’t be rushing back to that shite hole Paul low water soon if I was you had a go there never again 🎣🐟🏴☠️☠️
Nice spot to fish, give or take the mud, if you return, try fishing like uptiding, let a good few rips of line to tie the lead in, after casting uptide, don't try casting too far or you will never get it to hold.
Hi Alex great video but definitely not my kind of place to fish if you want a load of leads I’m pretty sure I’ve got 10-20 Gemini leads in the garage if you want them as I don’t use gemini leads
Great that your pushing mens mental health month November mate but please mention it and push it for the other 11 months of the year as well. Please don't take that as a criticism. You have a platform to publicise mental health problems and as they always say a problem shared is a problem halved.keep up the good work and tight lines to you mate as well.😊😊

It's always good to get out and wet a line, even better when you can have a laugh while doing it
We had a good laugh mate, part of the reason why there's not much footage 🤣

O' m8, you're a braver man than me!!!! Not in that muck ......... This time, im glad im at home, lol😂😂. Good fun though. Cheers big lad
All part of the adventure mate. Up to our eyes in it but we had a laugh
Muddy session guys...gloopy to say the least. Some very nice comments about loss and MH from your audience Alex. Keep it coming dude...we love it.

Good to be out with ya mate!
😊 good man .forgot to ask how are the old feet . Fished there many a time dont give up on that mark just yet go right of carpark 😮😊

At least it was a sunny day 😂take care bud and tight lines 🎣👊💪
Great words of wisdom mate sorry you didn't catch but you got plenty of fresh air and a few laughs 👍 tight lines
Fish are a bonus mate

Great to be out and we had a good laugh
Good lad 👍 like your session buddy keep up your good work Thanks 👍 and Tight Lines 🎣👀...
Cheers mate 👍🏼
I used to fish Arnside for Flounder and the mud where you are reminds me very much about conditions there. It's a bastard to get off everything lol.
I waded out up to me 🥜 not long before the end of the session and gave everything a quick scrub. At least 80% of it didn't come back with me in the van.
I used to have to go home run a bath and dump everything into it and still the mud just sat there laughing at me lol @@theawfulangler
Cheers Alex, enjoyed the video mate. Not a big fan of the mud either but sometimes they can be very productive marks. Thanks guys take care 👍🎣🎣
That's what I was hoping for, but not this time unfortunately
great video mate not for me that mud i’m a bit ocd trying to keep my gear clean al the time😂 hats off to you stood in that all day take care buddy 👍
Tough going mate paddling in that lol.. Been some garbage in the river recently with the wet weather we've had.. Been some nice cod coming out but slim pickings alex.. Ill give it a go Saturday.. Tight lines and take care pal 🎣🎣👍
Still waiting on that cold snap mate to bring them in numbers I think
Nice one Alex buddy!
Cheers buddy 👍🏼

😂😂 there are some great marks on the humber. People rave about Paull, but it's never treated me that well.
Unlucky on the Blank Alex but always next time mate and I wouldn’t be rushing back to that shite hole Paul low water soon if I was you had a go there never again 🎣🐟🏴☠️☠️
It's supposed to fish well at low. But Paull is one of those marks, as popular as it is, its never been that good to me.
Its bloody muddy and muddy lol. Though it can produce a decent cod. Keep uploading the good work Alex.
It's a popular mark mate, but not a regular one for me
@theawfulangler try the other side of the river sometime where the bays are Alex. It has a producing some good size cod
Nice spot to fish, give or take the mud, if you return, try fishing like uptiding, let a good few rips of line to tie the lead in, after casting uptide, don't try casting too far or you will never get it to hold.
Tough going that pal slosh pit haha all you kin do is put baits out and hope a fish takes it pal 👍 tight lines
Proper slosh pit 🐖💩
Hi Alex great video but definitely not my kind of place to fish if you want a load of leads I’m pretty sure I’ve got 10-20 Gemini leads in the garage if you want them as I don’t use gemini leads
It was a good laugh, bit not where I want to be every week 😂
I won't say no to that buddy!
@@theawfulangler not a problem mate I’ll double check the garage in the morning and let you know for definite
Reminds me of being at Glastonbury in 97😅
😂 I've never been, but sounds like a blast
Pity about the blank. Spurn Point next?
Kilnsea next Leon. I'd like to do spurn, but it would have to be a whole day job with that walk!
Great looking baits, if the fish aren't there then you won't catch them.
Exactly 👍🏼
Nice one alex, i can do you some leads buddy, live wigan mainly fish the mersey marks mate 🎣🎣
I fished on the south shore today. Not a bite unfortunately. Conditions weren't great to be fair...
South shore for me next week I think
@@theawfulangler back to the Mersey this weekend I think
Hi alex , unlucky chaps.
North side of the river is tough going si far this year Carl mate
Keep going mate you should be on the cod soon enough 😊😊😊
Wait for the next video mate, that's all I'll say 😉
Men never talk. We are supposed to be tough. Bollocks in it
Hi Alex
Liam of COSOS Scarborough does 1/2 for 1/2 on lead 10kg of lead gets you 5kg of sinkers if that’s any help
That sounds like a good deal that does Rich. I might have to plan a trip up there soon.
I take it that wasn’t your favourite mark 😂😂🐟🎣
Nice video shame about the fish that mud is a nightmare to clean off clothes
I waded out up to me 🥜 and let the waders soak for a bit before the end of the session
I’ve fished there before,,never ever ever again,,,I don’t care how many fish are there…😱😱😱😱
😂😂😂
@@theawfulangler honestly,,never fished in such a shithole in my life,,and no fish…

Don't you worry, Dave, I do mate. Talk a fair bit about my own MH on the channel, in the hope it encourages others to open up about theirs 🤞🏼
Should be a dadsnet
Hose down kit, and carry on. Better luck on the next one. m out
Big bucket of soapy water
what a horrible place to fish. not my idea of a good day out. still good effort
It gave us a good chuckle mate, but I wouldn't want to do it regularly 😅
