- An action-packed sea fishing session at one of my Dad's favourite marks. We spent a lot of time here and the memories are endless! I enjoy fishing a lot of the south wales sea fishing marks along the Bristol Channel and this one is right up there for me, I feel connected to the place. Bass, Thornback Ray, Conger Eel, Sole and more can all turn up at this time of the year, you just never quite know what's going to happen!
Thank you for watching, it is very much appreciated,
Gareth

What a completely enjoyable watch. Couldn't help but get a bit emotional at times. You wear your heart on your sleeve Gareth. Fair play buddy. Super busy with the fish. Really busy session, camera can defo get in the way at times, but you pulled it off mate. Me and daisy really enjoyed this one dude. Thank you. Take care buddy, and I'm so glad you went out👍👍🎣🎣🙏
Ah thank you Dylan. I must admit that I almost didn't make this video but I'm glad I did it...what a sunrise and the wildlife that day was incredible. Yes the Congers were out there in big numbers and that's often the case at this time of the year on the Upper Channel. The foul-hooked Mullet at the end was quite funny, from a distance I thought it was a Bass but it was still a great sight. Indeed, the joys of filming and fishing on your own, trying to do 5 things at once, you will know all about that ha! Glad you both enjoyed bud, cheers for watching and have a good weekend! 👍👍🙏
Great priceless memories Gareth..❤
Thank you William. One of my favourite spots, I just enjoy being there. Cheers for watching 👍
You deserved that fella
Dad watching over you
Well done🎣🎣👏
Thank you Geoff. It was a cracking morning for it, the sunrise was special. I enjoyed making this video, despite the lost fish early on, quite funny that was ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍

What a cracking session Gareth with a bonus surprise mullet to round things off.
Super scenery video which almost makes you forget your in Newport 😂
As always thanks for putting the hard work into your video and sharing it buddy.
Thank you Richie, always a pleasure. Beautiful spot isn't it, especially at this time of the year. The wildlife was on good form and the sunrise was special. Haha yes, I couldn't believe that Mullet at the end...from a distance I was sure it was a Bass. The Congers were out there in big numbers that day, they were attacking the baits within minutes, good entertainment. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
Well done Gareth top session there nice and bizzy i shall raise a glass to your dad 👍
Ah thank you Nathan, that's good of you...he'd appreciate that! Yeah nice little session, the Congers kept me busy and the wildlife was good company. Cheers bud, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Thanks for your hard work on this video again a brilliant video so relaxing and enjoyable not easy to go back when so many good memories are there lost my dad when I was quite young but always think about him and always will oh yes all fish count good on you thanks Gareth.
You're welcome Michael, glad you enjoyed it. Beautiful morning wasn't it, was a pleasure being there and the Congers kept me busy ha! Sorry to hear about your Dad, that couldn't have been easy, especially as you were quite young. I'm sure he's in a good place now. Cheers for for watching, much appreciated. Take it easy 👍👍
Wow what a session gareth and what better place for it to happen so happy your first trip back to such a sentimental spot produced such a good day your dad must've been watching over you. Cant even begin to imagine what its like to have lost someone like that so for that I am sorry hes gone and I can see how much he meant to you but at least you managed to build so many great memories to relish for years to come. Hope you have a great weekend Gareth, take it easy
Ah thank you Finley. It was great to be fishing at the old faithful again, so many great memories of fishing there with Dad over the years. I must admit that I almost didn't go ahead with this video but I'm glad I forced myself to do it. What a stunning sunrise and the birds were on top form, they were good company. The Congers provided the entertainment for the day, they were onto the baits fairly quickly, must have been loads out there. Couldn't believe I foul-hooked that Mullet at the end, from a distance I was sure it was a Bass haha! Thanks bud, you too... have a good one! 👍👍
Lovely
Thank you Benjamin, it was an enjoyable session and I'm looking forward to going back soon. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Great video, glad I’m not the only one that drops a fish & scrabbles round trying to get it back - even though we put them back anyway 😁 keep them coming
Thank you Graham, much appreciated. Ha yes, that does sometimes happen, especially when I'm filming as I'm usually doing too many things at once! It was an enjoyable session, the sunrise was special and the Congers provided the entertainment. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Great session Gareth. Nice to see your dad on the photos. You will always cherish them like me. Cracking video mate. As always brilliant scenery and editing. Keep bringing them on Gareth 😊
Thank you Neil, that's nice of you to say. It was such a nice morning, the sunrise was superb and that was a good start! Yes that's it, so many great memories of fishing down there with Dad over the years, many stories to tell! Hope all is good with you, take care 👍👍
I like watching your fishing videos I reckon I’ve watched all of them up to date ,I’ve not been fishing for years now but now I moved to south wales and retired I’m going to get back into it I’ve learned quite a lot from your videos looking forward to watch more,thanks Allen
Thank you Allen, pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos, hopefully plenty more to come with a bit of luck. Good like with your fishing comeback, no doubt you'll get a few fish along the way. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍👍
Gareth your a star, a great watch and it’s not all about the catch with you either. You are an inspiration to us all.
Ah thank you Robert, that's nice of you to say, I appreciate it. This was an enjoyable session and the beautiful sunrise was a great start to the day. Hope all is good with you, take care 👍👍
Brings back memories of Peterstone Wentlooge late 1970s fishing and duck shooting on the foreshore. Similar memories you have of your time with your Dad.
Glad the video brought back some memories for you Steve, no doubt you have many. I enjoyed this session, was a pleasure being there, that sunrise was special and the wildlife was on good form. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hi Gareth, Another great video. Loved the little tribute to your dad he would be proud of you. (Never forget ) great to see the excitement when you get a bite just like me. All the best from South West Wales 👍
Thanks bud, appreciated as always. I'm pleased that you liked the little tribute to dad, I've been wanting to do that for a while, so many great memories of fishing down there with him over the years. Haha yes, I get so excited when I get a bite, I'm like a kid in a sweet shop! Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Aww fantastic video, lovely pic of your dad and an excellent day fishing, he would be proud and happy for you. Nice spot. We really enjoyed watching that.
Ah thank you Tracey, pleased that you enjoyed it. It was an enjoyable session in fairness, the sunrise was impressive and the wildlife was on good form too. Cheers as always, take it easy 👍👍
Loved it one of the best youve done
Ah thank you mate, I appreciate it. A lovely morning for it and some fish turned up, which was a nice bonus. Have a good weekend 👍👍
More great stuff - sky always looks fantastic !
Thank you Andrew, much appreciated. That sunrise was special and it was a pleasure being there. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Great video, lovely mark....thanks Gareth.
Thank you Steven, appreciated as always. It certainly was a beautiful morning and it was nice to fish at that spot once again. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Another great video Gareth,it put a smile on my face. I completely understand that when your not feeling it, it's difficult to motivate yourself to get out of bed, especially when it's really early morning! But as you say, if you do make the effort the rewards of being out fishing next to nature is better than a pill. I've been having a few dark days, as I call them lately, but have managed to fight through them, and get out fishing. Watching this video, inspires me to keep going. Well done mate. All the very best Rich
Thank you Rich, appreciated as always and nice to hear from you again. Yes I almost didn't make this video, just wasn't feeling it but I forced myself to do it and I'm glad I did. What a beautiful morning, the sunrise was special and the wildlife was good company. An enjoyable session in fairness, the Congers were keeping me busy ha! I left the place feeling a lot better than when I left the house earlier that day! Ah well done, good that you've managed to battle through the dark days and get out fishing, being next to the water is a great form of therapy, it usually does the trick! Cheers for watching and take it easy 👍👍
Thanks Gareth. What a great session, can't believe the Mullet!! Cheers Rich
Great watch as always Gareth some nice congers to keep you busy and a lovely Mullet too nice mark I can see why it is dad's favourite
Thank you Peter, much appreciated. I enjoyed this session, the superb sunrise was a great start and a few fish turned up too which was a nice bonus, couldn't fault it. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍

Thank you bud, hope all is good with you. You're spot on there, they certainly are with us when we're out wetting a line, I'm quite certain of that. I enjoyed this session, the sunrise instantly lifted me and the Congers provided the entertainment. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍

And if you're Dad read's the comments!!!! your son is doing brilliant ❤
Ah thank you Bob, that's nice of you to say. It was such a nice morning, was a pleasure being there to be honest and I think you're right, Dad was definitely looking down on me. An enjoyable session in fairness, the Congers were on good form ha! Yes that's it, I always enjoy watching the fish swim off in the end, that gives me a lot of pleasure as fish welfare is always at the top of my agenda. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the bank holiday! Cheers 👍👍
Superb watch Mr P. Glad you had some big bites via your Dad’s vibes. Beautiful natural shots and those catches make up for the more barren experiences earlier in the year. Keep the faith boy bach

Thank you Jon, much appreciated. Yes definitely, important to keep those memories alive isn't it, that's why I enjoy a bit of reminiscing. It was a beautiful morning, the sunrise was special and the wildlife was impressive too, was a pleasure being there. The Congers kept me busy, can often rely on them to provide a bit of action ha! Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍👍

Really enjoyed this video and even my wife sat down with me to watch it which is a first. Nice to see the photos of your Dad as well. I have not been out for a while but your video has inspired me to get out tomorrow evening and see if I can get a nice smoothound down here on the south coast. Well done and thank you 👍
Ah thank you Mark, I appreciate it and I'm pleased to hear that you both enjoyed the video. The sunrise was a good start to the session and the Congers were keeping me busy, an enjoyable few hours.

Thanks Tone, appreciated as always. Ah sorry to hear that and yes, it is difficult to fish those marks as these places are where the memories were made. As you say though, he's with you, laughing at the missed bites and lost fish ha! Watched your Brixham video last night, what a cracking evening that was, I must get back down there soon! Have a good weekend mate, tight lines! 👍👍
Thanks Gareth 👍🏻....always a thoroughly enjoyable watch ...stay safe mate 👍🏻
Thank you very much for the donation Paul, very kind of you! I shall put that towards a new camera, which I'm hoping to buy this Autumn. Cheers for watching, have a good week 👍👍
Another great session Gareth glad you went down and gave it a go, I'm sure Dad would be well chuffed. I lost my Dad in 2019 we also used to fish together its not easy but always good to get out, I still chat away to him. Keep the video's coming I always look forward to watching. All the best 👍
Thank you Joe, appreciated as always. I wasn't up for making this one but seeing that sunrise when I arrived changed all of that, I suddenly felt more enthusiastic. Ah right, still fairly recent for you then...never easy is it but as you say, it's good to keep fishing those marks as the great memories come flooding back. I'm the same, always talking to Dad, although he was probably laughing at me when I was losing those Congers early on ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
There always with us, keep smiling 👍
Well done on the catches, the Mullet was a cracking fish.
Thank you mate, it was an enjoyable session. Shame the Mullet was foul-hooked but it was still a great site. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Cracking session and video as always Gareth, some cracking fish caught. You were very brave trying to find that conger in that hole, I would not have put my hands in there...lol
Thank you mate. It was an enjoyable session in fairness, the superb sunrise was a good start. Ha yes, I tried hard to find that Conger down in the rocks but it has swam away, although it was good that a couple more turned up. Cheers as always, take care 👍👍
Lovely video again Gareth 🐟👏👍
Thank you Gary, appreciated as always. It was a nice morning for it, a very enjoyable session. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Nice vid gareth non stop action tight lines bud
Thank you Martin, I appreciate it. Certainly was a beautiful morning for it and the Congers kept me busy! Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Well I have to say it what a great fishing channel / well being, I have now got the fishing bug back after 8 years due to depression. I hope you keep this channel going for many years to come. What you do has inspired me and my son. Be nice to bump into you one day in Newport.
As you say look after yourself and take care.
Ah thank you mate, I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the channel, hopefully more to come. Sorry to hear of your battle with depression, not pleasant is it, life can be tough at times. It's great that you've got the fishing bug back, spending a few hours next to the water always does the trick I find, nice bit of therapy. No doubt I'll see you down on the mud! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Thanks for the reply keep us posted on which part of the mud you will be on next please. It will be a pleasure to shake your hand. 🐟🐟🐟
@@MORPH768 I'll probably be heading a little further west next couple of videos but I'll hopefully be back on the mud in a month's time or so, work and weather permitting.
@@riversidewithme thanks keep up the good work. What ever you are doing it is helping people like me enjoy myself again.
What a session, no doubt your dad was with you! Great you got rewarded for your efforts. sometimes the days we don’t feel it turn out to be the best.. well deserved mate. Have a good week 👍
Thank you Matt. Yes, you're spot on there. I must admit that I wasn't feeling it on the way there but seeing that sunrise changed all of that, I instantly felt a lot more enthusiastic. The Congers were on good form and they kept me busy throughout the session, the foul-hooked Mullet at the end made me chuckle ha! Hope all is good with you mate, take it easy 👍👍
Well done Gareth, You looked to be enjoying yourself. A beautiful day and lots of fish 👏
Thank you James, it was certainly a busy session and I'm glad I went. Lovely spot there, especially at this time of the year. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Great fishing and filming Gareth, loved the photo's of dad😢He'll always be with you! So glad you managed to get out! It's hard sometimes when you have a lot on your mind. Take care! 🤗
Thank you Patricia, appreciated as always. Yes that's right and I almost never made this video but I'm glad I did, it was a beautiful morning and an enjoyable session. Pleased to hear that you liked the photos of Dad, I'll have to dig out the photo album to see what else I have. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend! 👍👍
Fantastic thanks for the winde down you have made me want to go I will order some worms in the morning never met you but starting to feel a bond
Ah thank you John, that's nice of you to say, I appreciate it. What a beautiful morning it was, the sunrise was superb and the wildlife was good company. Hope you manage to fit a session in this weekend and if so...tight lines! Enjoy 👍👍
nice - conger hunting in the rocks :) well done for getting out.
Ha yes, farcical at the start wasn't it, I'm just glad I redeemed myself later on! Cheers as always bud, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Nice to see the photos of your dad , well done, a mullet session may be a good idea.
Thanks Allen, was a nice morning for it. Yes I agree, there's always loads of Mullet on the mouth of the Usk and so I think I'll get the bread bucket out and have a go for them. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Hi Gareth hope you’re keeping well, Cracking watch.I’ve never caught a Conger, awesome looking creature. Cheers 🥂 to you and your Dad Gareth lm sure he was looking down on you, take care mate 👍🎣🎣
Ah thank you Stephen, appreciated as always. Yes, Congers are great fish to catch, they give a cracking bite and they are very powerful and strong, they can easily break a weaker line. Ah yes, I'm sure he was looking down on me and no doubt he was laughing at me early on when I was losing those Congers near the rocks, farcical that was haha! Hope all is good with you, take care 👍👍
Great Fishing session Gareth I believe that your Dad was there with you helping you along the way
Great little session on the Congers and the Mullet at the end...
I bet Dad was Smiling today x
Ah thank you Kevin, nice of you to say. Yes I think he was, although I bet he was also laughing at me early on when I lost the first couple ha! An enjoyable few hours in fairness...superb sunrise, birds were on good form and a few fish. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
As always, another good watch Gareth. Always good to relax to with the beautiful scenery. What i like is that you, like me, enjoy being out fishing. Any fish are a bonus. These constant E/NE winds are killing the fishing all around the coast. Your Dad would have been laughing his head off with you head first in the rocks trying to retreive your conger. (It counted as it was on the beach😂). I was half expecting to see you disappearing down the crevice with the conger lol. Look forward to the next one.👍
Thank you Andy, appreciated as always. Lovely morning for it, was a pleasure being there. Yes definitely, taking it all in and being next to the water is what it's all about for me nowadays, any fish that turn up are a bonus, as you say. Can't seem to shake off these easterly winds can we, they've been with us for weeks now and I'm craving a South-Westerly! Ha yes, no doubt he was having a good chuckle, quite farcical wasn't it at the start, I'm just glad that I managed to redeem myself 🤣. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍
Great session you doing your dad proud maté keep up the good work well done love watching
Thank you Roy, that's nice of you to say. I enjoyed this session, that sunrise was magical, it was a great start to the session. Have a good weekend 👍👍
Cracking session that 👌 well done 💪💪
Thanks mate, I enjoyed that one. The sunrise was a good start to the session. Cheers for watching 👍👍
Cracking video Boyo! nice one Dad for showing the Fish, Mullet at the end was a great catch buddy, stay safe brother, love to all, see you on the rocks X
Thank you Matt, I enjoyed making this one. The sunrise was awesome and the wildlife was on good form, was just nice being there. Few fish turned up too, couldn't fault it. Hope all is good with you, looking forward to your next video. See you on the beach 👍👍
Great video again Gareth always hard to go somewhere for the first time after losing a loved one I bet your dad would have been looking down on you laughing at the troubles you were having with some of those eels hope your keeping well last time you replied how am I’m doing well thanks mate look forward to the next one
Thank you mate. It was a little tricky at times filming that one given that I'd not been there since I lost Dad but it was an enjoyable few hours. A beautiful morning and the Congers kept me busy throughout the session. Ah yes, no doubt he would have been laughing at me, quite farcical at the start wasn't it, I'm glad the situation improved as the session progressed ha!! Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Crazy session mate absolutely love the videos. If possible I would really appreciate a bait up video on how to present a good bait as this is something I really struggle with. Many thanks keep up the cracking work. We love it 👏👍
Thank you Thomas, I appreciate it. It was an enjoyable session in fairness and the awesome sunrise was a good start! Ok I will bear that in mind and will try and remember to show it. Cheers for watching the videos, have a good weekend 👍👍
Another good relaxing video Gareth. Congers save the day again. I was sure the last one was going to be a ray the way it pulled down slowly. Was a beautiful sunset on the outro👍
Thank you Andy. Yes me too, I was sure it was a Ray but when I struck into it I could tell it was a Conger as it was twisting and bouncing. A windy session but it did calm down as evening approached and the sunset was a great site. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍
Top video as usual Gareth, great memories for you, I was only thinking about my dad today and the times we had many moons ago also.
I had to laugh around half way through the video, before you said you'd packed up the cheapy boat rod. I was actually talking to the telly, telling you to get back, pick up the rod and strike, I couldn't believe you couldn't hear the bell ringing. I looked out of the window and it was coming from next doors cat, it has a bell on its collar 😂😂😂
Thanks bud, appreciated as always. It was a cracking morning, the sunrise was impressive and the birds were on top form, it was a pleasure being there. Ah yes, I bet you had some great times with your Dad...nice to think back isn't it, good for the soul, even though it's not easy at times. Haha that's funny, the cat next door, made me chuckle that...I'm glad you finally realised it was the cat's bell as you may have ended up throwing the remote control at the telly 🤣. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend! 👍👍
Well done Gareth another cracking video and a lovely bass.
Thanks Christopher. One of my favourite marks, lots of good memories. A productive session, the Congers were keeping me busy ha! Cheers for watching 👍👍
Superb session Gareth, thanks for all the hard work in filming it and sharing. Emotional one for you, well done for getting through it. When you said about the lack of pouting these days it reminded of my first trip with my Dad back in the eighties on the Admiralty Pier at Dover. My first fish ever was a fat pouting, probably about a pound but I thought it was an absolute monster 😁 Take care
You're welcome Andy, pleased to hear that you enjoyed the video. It was a nice morning for it, a beautiful sunrise and the wildlife was superb. The Congers were on good form and they were onto the baits fairly quickly. Ah yes, the big fat Pouting are lovely aren't they and I bet you were super excited when you caught that one! No doubt you have some great memories of fishing trips with your Dad, they will last a lifetime! Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
Great video,
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. I enjoyed this one and I'm already looking forward to going back. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
I can totally see why it was one of your dad's favourite spots!
Thanks Edward, lovely spot isn't it. Was a beautiful morning for it, the sunrise was special and the wildlife was on good form, couldn't fault it really. Cheers as always, take care 👍👍
I'm new to your channel, thanks for the content, it's great. This video in particular hits home to me, as I lost my Dad a year ago, who was my (fly) fishing partner for most of my adult life - the memories are still strong, but like you I miss his company on the bank. Tight Lines x
Thank you mate, I appreciate it and I'm pleased to hear you're enjoying the content. I'm sorry to hear that you lost your Dad a year ago, I understand that it's difficult, especially when out fishing. I lost my Dad back in 2018 but I still have the occasional wobble, just comes from nowhere. I'm sure you have some great memories of when you fly fished with your Dad and those memories will last forever. That reminds me, I must sort out my fly tackle, I fancy having a go soon. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Must have been very emotional going back Gareth,your dad must have been smiling down on you. Fantastic trip and some great footage as always 🎣🐟💪
Thank you Kevin, appreciated as always. Yes it was a little tricky on the way there but seeing that sunrise instantly lifted me, couldn't fault it. The Congers kept me busy and it was an enjoyable session in fairness. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Very emotional video brilliant m8 i think your dad pulled the first 2 off all the best Gareth Simon
Haha I think you're right Simon, Dad was a bit of a prankster and so I reckon he did pull off the first two Congers ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
I'm sure your Dad was with you, another fantastic video Gareth, I'm like you and many others I miss fishing with the old man, I can hear his voice when I lose a fish grab it son grab it ohh why didn't you grab it... as a kid you don't answer back I would of liked to of said I tried to f ing grab it you blind old man 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha this comment made me chuckle Les as I know exactly what you mean! I can hear Dad's voice now...fish on the bend boy, fish on the bend! But yes, fishing is sometimes hard without them isn't it, good job we have all of those memories, a bit of reminiscing is always good for the soul. Hope all is good with you, have a good weekend! 👍👍
Great video, really enjoy it,well made as always, interesting mullet that was nice size one , them big thick lips also big thin lips will take deads/ alive bait also lures they push the bait with there heads to break it up or use there tail to bash it that’s why there often hooked on side also I would say it was feeding on the bait when you hit it. They love mackerel.
Looking forward to seeing your next upload ,have great weekend tightlines 😎🐟🇪🇸
Thank you Darren, nice to hear from you again. It was an enjoyable session in fairness, that sunrise was superb and the wildlife was on good form too. Ah right yes, that would make sense...from a distance it looked like a Bass but then I realised it was a Mullet as I got closer. As you say, it was probably feasting on the Mackerel head! I might fish for them this year, even catching just one would be an achievement. I used to fish for them years ago and one fish every few sessions was about the average, great fun though. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Great to see you back m8 was getting a little worried if honest,lovely edit as always 👌
Thank you Carl, it was nice to be out again. What a beautiful morning it was, couldn't fault that sunrise. Hope you're doing ok, enjoy the weekend 👍👍

Thank you Richard, much appreciated. It was certainly a beautiful morning for it, that sunrise was a great start! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Bit of an emotional session for you, Great vid again, at one point I thought you were going to follow that conga into the rocks😂.
Thank you Dorian, appreciated as always. Haha yes, I could actually see the Conger down in the rocks but then it must have swam away as it suddenly disappeared. An enjoyable session, lovely morning for it. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Very nice session this time and all nice sized fish. Over in Norfolk we are getting a mixed bag with plenty of flatties. Gareth I also lost my dad in 2018 aged 89 years.
Thanks Glyn, it was an enjoyable session. A beautiful morning and a few fish too, couldn't fault it. Ah right, sorry to hear that. 89 is a good age, well done that man. Not easy is it but no doubt you have some great memories! Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
Lovely video again Gareth after watching i rang my old man and we're off fishing Wednesday he's 85 and he can't wait 😀 💯👌👍
Ah can't fault it Leighton, hope you and your dad have a productive session on Wednesday! I reckon you'll get some fish, I can sense it! Cheers as always and tight lines! 👍👍
