Sea Fishing at Porthkerry - A Nice Session!

- A busy Bristol Channel Sea Fishing session at Porthkerry, which is near Barry on the Bristol Channel. This is a mark that I used to fish all of the time but for some reason, this was my first session here in over two years, I have no idea why ha! Barry is a top South Wales Ray Fishing area, although the ground at Porthkerry is a little rougher and attracts differents species and is noted for its Smooth-hound fishing throughout the Summer months. When I was a kid, it was a great Winter Cod Fishing spot and some nice Whiting and Bass used to also turn up! When it comes to UK Shore Fishing and South Wales Sea Fishing in general, this place is right up there when it comes to raw beauty! Porthkerry Park is well worth a visit, lots to see and a great day out!
Thank you for watching, it is very much appreciated!
Gareth

It's us my friend who should thank you for your time, your truly wonderful channel and some of the most spectacular scenery I've seen. Your enthusiasm just flows out our screens. Some beautiful fish to. Take a bow sir for making our long evenings much more pleasurable. Regards to you and your family and have a fantastic weekend
Thank you Bob, that's nice of you to say and I appreciate it, very kind words. I try my best to make a nice watch, it's not always easy but I try. Porthkerry is a beautiful place, especially first thing in the morning when the birds are on top form. The sky looked amazing that day and I couldn't resist capturing it on camera. Hope all is good with you, have a nice weekend 👍👍
Nice one Gareth can't wait for the next one always true and honest all the best
Thank you Paul. It was a pleasant morning in fairness, lovely place is Porthkerry. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍

Gareth wether you catch fish or not, your videos are fantastic, your scenery shots are stunning. I love watching , what a beautiful part of the world, keep them coming. AWESOME
@@raypickering6211Thank you Ray, that's nice of you to say, I appreciate it. I try my best to make a nice watch and hopefully it comes across ok. More to come soon with a bit of luck. Have a good weekend 👍👍
That was a lovely video fella , not just the fishing but the scenery and the birds singing , when you filmed the waves rushing over the stones on the beech the sound on my device was awesome .thanks mate just subscribed 😂
Thank you Mick, much appreciated. It was a lovely morning in fairness, the sunrise was impressive and the birds were on good form in the trees behind me. An enjoyable session with some bonus fish too, I couldn't really complain. Have a good weekend 👍👍
GREAT viewing yet again such a pleasurable watch, took me back to about 1965 ish first-time i ever saw a pod of porpoises was walking acccross the top of porthkerry, away the good old days, thanks gar
Thank you Gary, I appreciate it and I'm pleased that the video brought back a nice memory for you. I bet that was a great sight when those pod of Porpoises went past, amazing! Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Great video Gareth with lovely views. Beautiful bass that one and loved the rockling. So cute. Looked a great mark Gareth. Keep the videos coming. Always look forward to your channel. 😊
Thank you Neil, appreciated as always. Yes it's a lovely spot in fairness, just a nice place to be, especially when you get a good sunrise. It was nice to get a few fish, I've not caught a Rockling for a little while and so that was very welcome. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Another great scenic relaxing video Gareth. You certainly have a beautiful countryside up there. You had a good mix of fish on a stunning sunny day. What more could you ask for. You are right, back in the late 70's early 80's i used to get whiting around 3lb and over from the famous Dungeness beach. Sadly no more. Look forward to the next one. 👍👍
Thank you Andy, appreciated as always. Yes Porthkerry really is a beautiful place and it's just nice being there. The weather behaved and some bonus fish turned up, I couldn't really complain. Shame about the Whiting isn't it, I really miss them and I hope one day they are able to make a comeback, that would be great. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Thank you for posting your videos, a much needed relaxing time, sat with a cup of tea and a few biscuits that you again Gareth.
You're welcome Tony, pleased that you enjoyed it. Can't beat a hot drink with a few biscuits can you, one of life's simple pleasures. Thank you for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Lovely days fishing and really good job on the camera take care gareth c u next week 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. The light was a little tricky early on but it soon brightened up and all was fine, turned out to be a nice day. Cheers for watching, all the best 👍👍
That's why i love your videos mate because they are so much more relatable. Peaceful, easy watch with a down to earth guy is what i call entertainment. Few nice fish for your efforts.
See you on the next one
Thank you Alex, that's nice of you to say and I appreciate it. I do my best and hope that the watch turns out ok. I like Porthkerry, I used to fish it a lot back in the day during the winter months, good times. Hope all is good with you mate, take care 👍👍
Great video Gareth 🎣 and weather gods were kind.
Thank you Richard, much appreciated. Ha yes, a few fished turned up and they kept me busy! Cheers for watching 👍👍
Another top notch video gareth, the way you present them is fantastic. Very useful for the young anglers of today. Keep on fishing bud 👍🎣🐟
Thanks Yolo, appreciated as always. I love Porthkerry, it's an old favourite of mine, I really should fish it more often. No doubt you've been 'bagging up' down at the Knap of late, I remember you saying that it's one of your favourite marks. Cheers as always, take care 👍👍
@@riversidewithme yes mate, I completed my ray slam at the Knap the other night.👍
@yolo5399 Can't fault it, well done 👍
Loving the chilled vibe to your videos, just how I prefer my fishing sessions!
Thank you Malcolm. Yes I just enjoy being out there, spending a few hours next to the water, that's what it's all about for me nowadays. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Thanks for taking us on another enjoyable session with you Gareth, such a beautiful location.
You're welcome bud, glad you enjoyed. Stunning place isn't it, just a pleasure being there and any fish that turn up are a bonus. Thank you for watching, take care 👍👍
Thanks Gareth, hope all’s well with you, very chilled relaxing watch mate, Porthkerrys looked absolutely gorgeous lovely mark and you caught a few fish brilliant, cheers mate take care 👍🎣🎣

Really enjoyed watching. Always look forward to your posts. Tight lines Gareth
Ah that's great, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. A nice little session in fairness, nice to see a variety of species. Thank you mate, always appreciated 👍👍

Thank you Albert, that's nice of you to say and I appreciate it. I hope all is good with you, your long-term support hasn't gone unnoticed. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Thank you sir! Another top video and after a tough week, it’s not just your mind that is rebooted - mine too 😁 Beautiful skies and scenery, colourful rockling and a handsome bass. Last but not least, your body language when you pulled out another baby conger on a 4/0 was priceless and made me laugh big time 😂 Thanks again Gareth, take care and have a good weekend.
Ah thank you Andy, I'm pleased to hear that. It was a lovely morning at a lovely mark, there really is something special about Porthkerry and I was pleased to see a variety of species. The colours on that Rockling were special, pretty thing. Haha yes, those baby Congers are definitely following me around at the moment, sticking to me like glue they are! You too, have a good one and enjoy! Cheers 👍👍
Another cracking vid mate, even kept it interesting with limited filming around the visitors. Wonderful scenic views as always. Look forward to the next one 👍
Thank you Steve, I appreciate it. Yes it was a little tricky to film at times but thankfully I just about managed to make a video. I love Porthkerry, it's just a nice place to be. Cheers as always, take care 👍👍
Nice to see you back out fishing. I have enjoyed the video and await the next one. Thanks mate.
Thank you Paul, I appreciate it. Lovely place is Porthkerry, always a pleasure. Hopefully more videos to come soon with a bit of luck, cheers for watching 👍👍
Always a pleasure Gareth great video love the camera work and the reminiscing 💯👌👍
Thank you Leighton, I'm pleased to hear that. Cracking morning in fairness, the sunrise was special and the wildlife was on good form in the park behind me. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
@@riversidewithme afternoon Gareth just got in from work and the wife gave me some bit's and bobs for my rig making only to see there from your good self. Top quality stuff I know where to come for more 👏 👌 👍
@leightongroves1509 Thanks Leighton, happy rig-making! That reminds me, I need to sort out my fishing box this evening and make some new rigs myself, running low now. Cheers 👍👍
Nice Bass ,cracking rockling and good to see you've not lost your touch on the congers too 😮. Cracking video as always Gareth
Thank you Mike, always appreciated. Yes it was nice to get a good variety of species, they kept the rod tips busy anyway. Ha, those baby congers, they follow me around everywhere 😂. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍

@@geraintdavies4940Haha thank you Geraint. It was a nice little session at a beautiful place. Cheers as always, take care 👍👍
Thanks again Gareth another wonderful vid ,really meaningful . I'd love to see you in Pembrokeshire one day .
Thank you Wayne, appreciated as always, pleased that you enjoyed it. Yes I hope to do more fishing down in Pembrokeshire. It's a bit far to travel for a one off session and so I'll probably combine it with a little break and will get a video done. Have a good weekend 👍👍
I love your videos my friend,you present them very well . Keep up the good work and I hope there are many more videos to come. Take care and tight lines .
Thank you mate, that's nice of you to say, I appreciate it. I love spending a few hours down at Porthkerry, one of my favourite places. I'll keep going and hopefully more to come. Have a good weekend 👍👍
Last time I caught a whiting was years ago, taste just like Cod, thanks Gareth for another brilliant video 🎉
Yes they do Les, I agree. Such a shame that their numbers have plummeted, I really miss catching them locally. Thank you for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Gareth is in my top ten dinner guests.Great knowledge and gentle vibe.
Ah thank you ha! I'm not a fussy eater and so feel free to choose any type of restaurant! Cheers for watching, appreciated as always 👍👍
Well Done Gareth, You found the fish. Can’t wait for your next video 👏👏
Thank you James. It was to nice to see the Rockling, I'd not caught one for a little while. Nice session at a nice place, I couldn't really complain. Have a good weekend 👍👍
Thank you Gareth, that was so relaxing, and I do like to see new venue's.
You're welcome Jim, pleased to hear that you found it relaxing. Yes Porthkerry is a lovely venue, a great place to wet a line for a few hours. Thank you for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Excellent video as always Gareth, keep doing exactly what you do! Many thanks Kevin
Thank you Kevin, I appreciate the supportive words. I'll keep plugging away, I'll keep trying and hopefully more to come. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Yes I remember Redwick back in the 80s! Sea Angler magazine used to run articles about it every winter cos it was so good for cod, and you’re right, whiting were considered pests. Great times.
Yes they were great times and I miss them! Ha yes I remember reading those articles about Redwick in Sea Angler magazine, wish I'd have kept those magazines now! Hopefully one day the place will make a bit of a comeback. Thanks Stu 👍👍
We all look forward to your weekly posts. Very calming watch. I'm laid up with sciatica at the moment so can't get out for a couple more weeks at least. I like the Knap but never fished over that side.
Sorry to hear that Gareth, I hope you make a speedy recovery. I had it once, what an unpleasant experience that was! Yes Porthkerry is a nice venue, back in the day it was a top winter Cod spot, I remember those frosty mornings very well! Thank you for watching, take it easy! 👍👍
Another cracking video Gareth.
Nice busy session with plenty of strap eels finding your baits.
A nice little Bass and Rockling as well.
Appreciate your efforts in producing these videos and already looking forward to the next one.
Thank you Richie, appreciated as always. Yes it was fun a little session in fairness, nice to see some different species. I love Porthkerry, an old favourite of mine, I used to fish it a lot during winter. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Thanks Gareth. Enjoyed that video. Don't change what you doing,very relaxing for me after a tough week. All the best.

The Best Fishing Channel Well Done Again Gareth Simon
Ah thank you Simon, that's nice of you to say. I don't think my channel is the best but there we are. Cheers for watching, always appreciated 👍👍
fantastic soothing video - made us ready for a relaxing nap now.
Thank you Jason, pleased to hear that you found the video relaxing. I love Porthkerry, such a beautiful place. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Awesome video mate, you definitely make great calming videos and I can’t wait to the next instalment. My wife is now asking has Gareth done a video so thanks for all your hard work and beautiful videos. 👌🏼
Thank you Mike, I appreciate it. The sunrise that morning was pretty special and so I was able to get some decent footage of it. Nice little session and a bit of fresh air, I was happy with that. Pleased to hear your wife is also enjoying the videos, can't fault it at all! Cheers mate, have a good weekend 👍👍
Another great video Gareth, absolutely love your uploads. Nit abbas sessio at all especially for daytime. Looks like there are kenty of ankle breakers there though👍👍🎣🎣
Thank you Dylan, I appreciate it. Yes it's not the easiest underfoot although the fishing can be good on its day. We used to fish it a lot during Winter for the Cod but nowadays it's become more of a summer mark I think. Not sure where I'll be next, I'd like to hit the Gower but depends on tides etc. Cheers mate, enjoy the bank holiday 👍👍
Hey Gareth I’m James from Swansea but live in Pembrokeshire now, only found your channel a couple of days ago and been watching a few of your videos and I’m enjoying it, only started fishing about 18 months ago after I left the ambulance service after 14 years last 8 of them working frontline 999, so being outdoors is something I love to do and fishing has helped me with my mental health since starting, unfortunately down my neck of the woods not many want to fish with people and prefer to keep themselves to themselves, keep up the good work buddy and might seen you out there one day and I’ll pop over and say hi.
Hi James, thank you for the comment, I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos. Well done on your frontline 999 service, a very important role and I thank you for that. Yes definitely, fishing is great for the mind, it's a form of therapy that usually does the trick. It's just nice being next to the water and any fish that turn up are a bonus. Pembrokeshire is a lovely part of the world, I haven't done much fishing down that way but hopefully I can visit more often. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
@@riversidewithme well mate when your down your welcome to come and share a spot with me let me know when your about, tight lines buddy.
You're a very humble guy Gareth, thanks for the video. Right where l take my dog? She loves it there !!!
Thank you Paul, I appreciate it. Lovely spot isn't it, I can understand why you take your Dog walking there. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Its great there , up the city
Lovely spot isn't it 👍
What a stunning beach to fish from and not a bad session,keep em coming gareth i enjoy your vids mate.
Thank you Ronnie, I appreciate it. Yes it's a lovely venue, one of my favourites and it can produce some nice fish on its day. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Hi gareth you ok pal, thanks for another cracking vid to chill to . Well done on your session. All the best from GRIMSBY.
I'm good thanks Carl, hope you are too mate. Thank you, Porthkerry is a beautiful place and it can fish well on its day. I always enjoy fishing here as you never quite know what's going to turn up. Cheers mate, take it easy 👍👍
Whiting seem to be alot smaller in the south east as well but I keep going but good show fantastic scenery ❤
Thank you John. Yes the Whiting are not what they were unfortunately but as you say, we'll keep going and you never know! Cheers as always, take care 👍👍
I feel robbed !!!!!! 😡
You didn't miss any bites! That's my favourite bit of your videos! Grrrrrrrr.
Hahahaaa just kidding, another cracking video Gareth, love the baby conger you've been getting lately. To think they grow into flesh ripping power houses is amazing, like holding a baby raptor 😅
Definately not fishing for the catch but fishing for the mind. Keep em coming Gareth you're smashing it.
Haha well I actually did miss a few fish but I didn't include in the video as it would have been too long, I try and keep the videos to around 30 minutes or thereabouts. Although maybe I should leave everything in. Yes definitely, with Autumn just around the corner the bigger Congers will be moving in, October and November tend to be great months for them . Oh yes, I go fishing as it's my drug if choice, good for the old mind and any fish that turn up are a bonus. Cheers Rob, take care 👍👍
Fantastic video as always, Gareth. Thanks for posting.
Thank you mate, always appreciated. I hope you are feeling better now. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Brilliant video ,Porthkerry just up the road from where I lived,
Thanks bud, appreciated as always. Ah nice, I bet that was great living near there, beautiful place isn't it. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Lovely relaxing video Gareth. Brilliant fishing and filming as usual. Looking forward to next one. Have a good bank holiday! 🤗
Thank you Patricia, appreciated as always, glad you enjoyed it. Nice morning, the sunrise was a good to start to the session. You too, hope you have a good one, enjoy! 👍👍
Love the vid as always. Those eeeels love you. Loved the rocking, haven't caught 1 of them since I was a kid fishing, beautiful.
Thank you Gareth, much appreciated. Yes those small Congers are definitely following me around at the moment ha! Lovely those Rockling aren't there, always nice to see one. Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Cracking video again really enjoyed it. Some nice fish. The water looked really clear for that end of the channel. And a lovely day. Thanks👍
Thanks mate, appreciated as always. It was a nice little session in fairness and it was good to see a variety of species. Yes I thought that too, the clearest I've seen it in a while.. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍

Great video again Gareth and a beautiful venue. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you Gordon. Yes Porthkerry is beautiful and when you get a nice sunrise, well it's just amazing! I'll be back down there during the Autumn with a bit of luck. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Another great video totally helped me relax cheers Gareth 🐟
Thank you mate, appreciated as always, pleased you enjoyed it. I love Porthkerry, something special about the place. Cheers for watching 👍👍

Thank you Tony, appreciated as always. Nice place is Porthkerry and it can fish well on its day, used to be a good winter Cod spot. I'm good thanks mate, hope you are too. Take care 👍👍
Great video mate so relaxing, we have good whiting here on the east coast , tight lines 🎣🐟🎣
Thank you Ian, appreciated as always. Pleased to hear that you still get some good Whiting on the East coast. We used to get loads but they're few and far between nowadays. Enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Another masterpiece mate so relaxing thank you
Thank you Andy, nice of you to say and I appreciate it. I love Porthkerry, such a beautiful place. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Oi what you doing in our spot 🤣🤣Great session there buddy mixed bag👍👍👍stay safe Gareth buddy, see you on the rocks ✌✌
Haha your spot! I was fishing that spot when you and Josh were still in nappies 😂😂. Lovely place isn't it, I think Porthkerry has to be right up there when it comes to picturesque marks. Back in the day we used to fish it a lot in the winter for the Cod. I'm looking forward to watching your latest video this morning. Cheers Matt, see you on the beach 👍👍
ha ha lol if i was in nappies so was you lolX @@riversidewithme
@@castersfishingwales2038 🤣🤣👍
Thank you for the video Gary have a good weekend mate
You're welcome Paul. I love Porthkerry, especially when you get a good sunrise. Thank you, hope you have a good one too! 👍👍
Great place and a place I never thought of visiting until now. You are the eel man without doubt. Missing the smaller rod you usually use to land the conger, nice relaxing video though.
Thank you Jeff, appreciated as always. Yes it's a lovely mark is Porthkerry, it can produce some good fishing on its day. Those small congers are definitely following me around at the moment, they are sticking to me like glue ha! The cheapy old boat rod will no doubt be back in action very soon! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Cheers Gareth for another brilliant video, I really liked the 3 bearded rockling, haven’t managed to catch one myself yet but heres hoping. Porthkerry looks amazing, great background for the video thankyou.
Thank you Ronnie, I appreciate it. Yes lovely fish aren't they, that's the first one I've caught this year, always a welcome site. Porthkerry is a great mark and it can produce some nice fish on its day, although it's just a nice place to be. Have a good weekend 👍👍
Morning Gareth!!
Another real enjoyable watch buddy....agree with you that those congers are definately following you around, great to see a little rockling too & of course, a stunning bass.
Was great to hear you talking about the whiting fishing back in the day....we used to go down to Penarth, alongside the pier at night....it'd be freezing & foggy but the rods wouldn't stop 'rattling'....great days, sadly long gone.
Anyways mate, back to the grind, getting ready for the Apple harvest & winter planting.
Have a great week ahead & look forward to the next trip....Jon.
Thank you Jon, always appreciated. Yes it was nice to see a few different species and of course my fishing trips wouldn't be the same without those small Congers ha! Ah yes the good old days, the cold and foggy nights, the non stop Whiting rattles, I remember them very well. Such a shame isn't it, I'd love to see them make a comeback but I just think they've been commercially fished out up this way. Still loads further south though which is strange, when I go to Brixham during the winter it's usually a fish a cast. Good luck with the apple harvest, that sounds like good fun. Talking of apples, I juiced some this morning for breakfast, very nice too! Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍
Wonderful video Gareth you make fishing look easy, from a Newport boy,redwick my favourite spot 10 pound cod one frosty morning.
Thank you Royston, appreciated as always. Ah yes, Redwick is a great mark isn't it, hopefully it will produce some nice fish this winter. Well done on the 10lb Cod, that's a cracker. My best is 8 pound 6oz, I caught that one down at the Pink House a few years ago. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
Looks brilliant where you are Gareth heading to Cornwall and Devon in a couple of weeks keep up the great videos mate much appreciated tight lines mate 🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thank you Adam, I appreciate it. Yes I love Porthkerry, a beautiful place and it can also fish well on its day. It will be Brixham in South Devon but that won't be until November, I love it down there and also I could do with a break from work ha! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
another great vid gareth yep all about the day out and catching what is there in front of you and enjoying some fresh air . and yes mate brixham is all about marks but you are right it is a different world tight lines mate .
Thanks bud, nice to hear from you again. Yes definitely, just nice being out there isn't it, spending a few hours next to the water. I can't wait to get back down to Brixham, we used to 3 or 4 times a year but that's not possible now as everything is so much more expensive. Sad to see Berry Head is taking a battering, the recent public protection order seems to be having a limited affect only and the locals are not happy, you can't blame them. Cheers as always, take care 👍👍
That was a cracking watch pal,
The sunrise shots at the beginning really set mood for this video, a relaxing watch with great scenery, well done on the fish as well, nice rockling and bass 👍
I’m off up to the Menai straight next week to try my luck 🎣
All the best pal
Thank you Nigel, appreciated as always. The sunrise was beautiful wasn't it, couldn't fault it at all. Porthkerry is a lovely place, an old favourite of mine and it's a pleasure just being there. A few bonus fish too and so I couldn't grumble. Good luck on the menai straight, I reckon you'll get a few! Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍
Always a pleasure watching your videos and another good one. Seems like the baby eels are in the area, had a few off fontygary caravan park in the last week. But as you say it’s not a blank. Keep smiling and stay safe
Thank you Robert. Yes definitely, the channel does tend to fill up with the small congers at this time of the year, or so it seems anyway. I haven't fished Fontygary for a little while now, I must try it again at some point. Cheers as always, take care 👍👍
Another cracking video again gareth mate...thoroughly enjoyed watching the scenery and you landing a few fish too..and you are right mate i used to catch big whitting off cardiff foreshore back in the 90s sometimes I'd run out of worm so i would use cut up whitting to catch whitting lol
Thank you Nathan, appreciated as always. Ah yes great days weren't they, I do miss the Whiting around our way. Strangely there are still plenty further west and south during the winter months, I can't get my head around that. You never know, they might make a bit of a comeback one day. Cheers mate, take care 👍👍
Take care Gareth I look forward to watching your next video mate
The videos are getting better and better mate with a few fish also👍🎣
Thank you Chris, that's nice of you to say. I try my best and hope that the viewers enjoy them. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Another great video mate two things about that video the action and must admit I’d love to own that house in the wood anyway keep them coming
Thank you mate. Lovely place isn't it, just nice being there. Ha yes, that house is impressive, imagine living there! Nice little session in fairness, good to see some different species. Cheers as always, take care 👍👍
Thanks Gareth for mentioning us all, I love this channel, those stones looked like real ankle breakers. These days you must spend most of the time replying to people's comments, seeing how the channel is doing so well. Hope you have a lovely Bank Holiday, all the best from South West Wales 👍.
Thank you mate, appreciated as always. Haha yes, replying to the comments does take a lot of time but I'm quite happy to do it, no problem. The stones at Porthkerry are a little tricky underfoot, I'm just a glutton for punishment ha! Lovely mark in fairness, something special about it. You too, have a good one and enjoy! Cheers 👍👍
Thanks Gareth, another cracking video, great photography as usual and stunning landscapes too.
Perfect for relaxing on the sofa of a Sunday evening.
Porthkerry looks like a gorgeous place mate, and ironically, as I was watching, I couldn't help thinking how lucky you were to have it to yourself! Within a minute I could hear loads of kids larking about in the background and saw what looked like the Grim Reaper walking past in the frame😂
Still a great video though mate and I can see a lot of work went into it.
A good mixed bag all in all, and I agree, the Rockling is a stunning looking fish, well worth putting up with the eels destroying your rigs to catch that, also the lovely Bass. Great to see your enthusiasm for returning everything, that's what first drew me to the channel, you enthusing over the humble dogfish. Everyone slags them but you appreciate them, as do I and I absolutely love looking at them, especially their eyes, they are a truly stunning fish too. Yes they also wreck rigs but that's not their fault, they just do what they're supposed to do, eat and breed.
No cheapy old boat rod again I see Gareth, I hope you haven't broken it or even worse, given or thrown it away! It's a lucky mascot and has been punching well above its weight lately.
Once again, thanks for the video mate, I was three days late in watching it as I was away working and wanted to save it until I got home.
Good luck to you mate, keep em coming.
Thank you Steve. Yes, Porthkerry is a beautiful location, just a nice place to be. Usually it's very quiet and you hardly see anyone but during the summer holidays it can get busy, especially when the sun is shining! Rockling are beautiful fish aren't they and can grow quite large, the one I had was quite small in comparison. Yeah that's it, any fish makes me happy, I don't take my fishing too seriously now, those days have gone for me, I just enjoy being out there. A doggy, a conger, anything wil do ha. Not sure where I'll be next, will get the tide book out and assess the situation, although I wouldn't mind hitting the Gower if time permits! Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍👍
Nice little session there. I can't believe how tangled the line gets when you catch a Conger. It looks like it would be very easy to twist an ankle there with all those large, loose rocks. Have a great weekend.
Haha yes, those small Congers can mess your rig right up and often you can't untangle it! You're right there, not easy underfoot, I almost went over a couple of times. I have a metal plate in my ankle (old football injury) and so I should be more careful ha! Thank you David, hope you have a good one too! Cheers 👍👍
Another great video Gareth 👍🎣
Thank you Graham, appreciated as always. A nice session at a nice place. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍
I've been living and working in East Asia for the last 17 years. Mainly due to Covid restrictions, I haven't been able to visit home (Cardiff/Newport), however, your wonderful videos of places that were so familiar to me when I was growing up really help fill a void. Thank you, Gareth! 🤝
Thank you mate, I'm very pleased to hear that the videos are bringing back some nice memories for you. Hopefully you will be able to visit home soon and spend a few hours at these marks. Porthkerry is lovely isn't it, especially when you get a cracking sunrise, just a pleasure being there. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
Another great video, buddy.
Gutted, I can't get out at the moment someone stole my tackle box, took everything, but the rods gutted 😢 hopefully start saving for reels n tackle again.
Last time, I went caught a 10 pound couger by the bridge in Newport where you filmed. Thanks for that it was my first couger
Sorry to hear that Matthew, there's some very unpleasant people out there! Hopefully you'll be out again shortly, just in time for the summer. That's a lovely Conger, well done, you certainly do get some big ones going up that River! Cheers as always, good luck with the saving 👍
Gareth, another cracking video. Would you be able to show how you bait your hooks in a future video? You must have the knack as I'm nowhere near as successful as you 😂 Really appreciate the effort that you put into the videos.
Thank you Roger, much appreciated. Ok I will try and remember to show that, I often forget to show things when I'm filming ha! I guess I was lucky that there were a few fish in front of me during this session and it made a nice change as I often blank 😂. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍
it was interesting watching you film your vlogs, i was the guy fishing just down the beach from you, i had the hound 40 minutes after high and missed two other bites. i fish porthkerry a lot and always favour smaller tides as it gets busy with anglers on bigger tides. the last few years it has got very busy down there with beach gowers trying to avoid the crowds of barry island, maybe if i see you vlogging again i'll pop over and say hi.
Ah that was you then Damian. Yeah pop over for a chat next time, no problem at all. Well done on the hound, I saw you pull something in. Thanks for the info, I shall bear that in mind and will give the smaller tides a go there if that means less people, I prefer that! Lovely mark isn't it, an old favourite of mine and I hope to be back there in the Autumn. Cheers for watching, tight lines 👍👍
Lovely video again Gareth 👏
Thank you Gary. Nice place is Porthkerry, an old favourite of mine. Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍

Thank you Gary, I appreciate it. Yes Porthkerry is a lovely mark, an old favourite of mine and it can fish well on its day, even I can catch a few there ha! Cheers for watching, take it easy 👍👍
Aberavon is seeing quite a few small eyed rays atm, few small bass and the odd hound.
Nice to hear that a few fish are turning up down Aberavon, good stuff. Thanks Ethan 👍👍
