  • I couldn't resist returning to Nell's Point in Barry after my last good session down there. A great winter Cod fishing mark on its day and during the festive period it can throw up some nice surprises. One of favourite marks on the Welsh side of the Bristol Channel.

      Thank you David, that's nice of you to say. I do try and give it my all when I'm out there, although I'm fully aware that the marks I fish are not as productive as they once were, I'll keep plugging away though and you never know ha! Hopefully plenty more to come in the new year, cheers for the continued support, it is appreciated! 👍👍

    When having problems connecting with fish on a flapper rig try 2-3 different sizes of hooks, like size 1, 1/0, 2/0. Then see what size is catching. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Catch you in the new year.

    • @riversidewithme
      @riversidewithme  Před rokem

      Hi Glyn, nice to hear from you again. Yes I agree with you there, I actually went down to a size 1 but forgot to mention that in the video. One of those days, hopefully I'll get a few next time ha! Thank you, I hope you and your family have a good one, enjoy it! Cheers 👍👍

      You're welcome Tony, glad you've been enjoying them. Yeah I love fishing by the transporter bridge, one of my favourite marks and I'll hopefully be doing more videos down there. Good luck with your fishing comeback, I'm sure you'll catch a few! Cheers 👍👍

      @AussieRic Před rokem +1

      @@riversidewithme Thanks for your reply, I hope the fish come back and energize your fishing experience, The fishing isn't great like people make out, sometimes hours of fishing without 1 fish, and when they are biting its usually small reef sharks, occasionally you get a nice fish but its surely over rated here in cairns, I'm told I have to go out 50 kilometres or more to enchance my catch, most days its too rough on the water, waiting for that calm swell day, I hope it gets better for you, they say the more Rods the merrier and fish an hour either side of the tide change. Cheers have a great New Year.

    All the best things I’ve been lucky enough to pass off onto my nephew. He hates classrooms but loves nature - his sister Is a bookworm. If you mention fishing to either they’re pumped and both want to go

I also love the Penarth area, i fished it for years with penarth sea anglers and I won the open there many years ago. So I will look forward to that. I have been recovering from cancer over the last year and haven't been able to get the rods out , so its nice to see local marks. Have a great xmas and new year Gareth, good luck mate.

I bet you get some great sport down in Teignmouth where your boat is, such a good variety of species. Ah that's interesting, well done for winning the open, quite an achievement that! I've never really done much match fishing, I guess I'm more of a pleasure angler at heart but I can see the appeal.

Have you been back to the Taff Estuary since your last videos there? Wishing you and your family a very Happy Christmas and very happy, safe and prosperous New Year.

I was hoping to go back to the Taff Estuary but the accommodation prices are too expensive, will maybe go next year but will go with some other people too so that it's cheaper.
