Hi and thank you for taking the time to check out my KZread channel. My name is Gareth and I live next to the Afon Llwyd River, South East Wales (UK)
This channel is an insight into the subjects I'm passionate about, such as fishing, juicing, natural healing etc and I hope to share my knowledge with you all, hopefully having some fun and banter along the way.

The knap is like that hit one day nothing but a cold to go home with the next.its well known that easterly wind is a heart breaker. Nice doggies. Good vid mate. Always watch your vids buttie.
Thank you Dean. Ah yes, I've had many a blank down at The Knap ha, funny place isn't it. I've had my better sessions down there during the night. Cheers as always, take care 👍
It’s just nice to hear your views on life and of course the fishing it’s like having a mate on line,you involve everyone and thank you
You're welcome Nigel and thank you for the comment, much appreciated. Not been out for a while as I've been busy with work etc but hopefully more to come soon. Cheers 👍
Gareth I always love your video's and your honest best matey banter .Your father will always be with you in spirit, if not in person I'm sure he still loved seeing you fishing and enjoying it . choose happy and be positive as much as you can and remember your videos are a++ but don't over load yourself with pressure we love what you do and what you say its the fishing that matters be happy your a great bloke and keep them coming I wish only good luck 👍
Thank you Mark, I appreciate the kind words. Yes I'd like to think that Dad is always with me, especially when I'm next to the water. The last time I went fishing was a month ago, I've been flat out with work and I've been working on my house. I'll hopefully be out again soon, the sea is calling me! Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍
Where have you gone, hope you’re ok buddy?
I'm ok thanks Steve, I've been flat out with work and been doing jobs in and around the house, no time for fishing unfortunately. Will hopefully be out again soon. Take it easy 👍
I'm going through old uploads getting fix of fishing sessions with my mate Gareth. Looking forward to the next one mate.
Thank you bud, glad you're enjoying the older videos. I've not been out for ages as I've been busy but I'll hopefully be wetting a line soon. Cheers as always 👍
A bad days fishing is better than a good day working.. What a quote that is.. 😊 Top man Gareth
Never a truer word spoken ha! Thanks bud 👍
How would get here ive just moved to newport would love to fish here whats the road to drive to etc.
It's called Outfall Lane, there's only a couple of parking areas towards the end of the lane. Then you continue walking up onto the seawall. If you want easier parking and don't mind a longer walk, you can park in the free council carpark next to the Lighthouse Inn (now closed), walk up the steps in front of you and go right, takes approximately 15 minutes or you can just fish right next to where you park, big area to choose from. Cheers
Another good video Gareth brings back memories when I used to fish of the old colwyn bay pier in north Wales all night over fifty years ago and catch loads of whiting and dabs .
Thank you Steve, much appreciated. This beach is one of my favourite marks, it rarely gets fished which is surprising. Sounds like you have some good memories of fishing off the old colwyn bay pier...I bet the fishing was great back then! Cheers for watching 👍
I stepped away from fishing and haven’t been back for a few years. Watching your videos has really inspired me to start again. Your passion and ethos is much the same as my own, and you have reminded me of that. I feel quite emotional seeing you get so excited when the fish are on. I feel really happy watching your videos, I’ve just checked out my gear and will be fishing again soon, only I will be the other side of the channel from you. “Your joy is my joy”. Rob M.
Thank you Rob, much appreciated. I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the videos and it's great to hear that you'll be making a fishing comeback...no doubt many enjoyable sessions in front of you! Cheers for watching 👍
I wonder why does the wind calm always at high tide
Strange isn't it, very puzzling. Always happens, wherever I go! Cheers for watching 👍
What a gent u are. Id love to Riverside with u.
Thank you, I appreciate it. Hopefully more videos to come soon with a bit of luck 👍
Got to say I absolutely love your videos thank you so much for your efforts. Just recently taken back up fishing and thoroughly enjoying it. Would love to see how you prepare your bait and attach to your hooks. Going to Rhossili next weekend to try my luck. Lucky to be living in mumbles so just 20 minutes. Thank you again. 😊
Thank you Michael, much appreciated, glad you're enjoying the videos. Good luck down at Rhossili next weekend, lovely part of the world, shame I live so far away. Cheers 👍
Great video. Thanks. Those 1lb ish whiting are delicious in the pan. My grandad (RIP, ex Hartlepool) called them the sweetest fish in the sea.
Thank you Andrew, much appreciated. Yes, your grandad was right, they certainly do taste good...Dad and I used to keep a few for the pan back in the day. Cheers 👍
Love these videos. My new favourite YT channel
Thank you Marc, glad you're enjoying them. Cheers 👍
Love this channel. I don’t know what I like best. The calming chat from Gareth or the fishing. Living in Cardiff, I’m definitely gonna try some of these marks out
Thank you Marc, pleased to hear you're enjoying the videos, hopefully more to come soon with a bit of luck. Cheers for watching 👍
hi Gareth. Hope you are well. Are you not doing any more videos? Thanks
Yes I'm ok thanks, I'm just busy with work at the moment and I've not had any time to make new videos. I'll hopefully be back soon.
Hi Gareth, love your videos, keep it up mate, i am a Newport boy, considering taking fishing up again, had my gear stolen many years ago, miss it dearly
Thank you Geraint, I appreciate it, hopefully more to come soon. Yes I bet you were gutted when your gear got stolen, not a nice thing at all. Good luck with your fishing comeback, tight lines! 👍
Never had any luck on the two occasions I fished ,daytime and hot ,not good for me tenby ,god ppl bad ppl for sure bad ppl ave me not any msm or read newspaper ,depressing ,ty gareth angling therapist for sure ,mark cdf x
Ah yes, not ideal conditions I guess. I've always had more luck down at Tenby during the night, I guess that's because the water is clear. Aye that's it, the news certainly is depressing, constant doom and gloom, where will it all end. Thank you Mark, take it easy 👍
Its always a good sesh wiv u bruv. Wish i knew you personally. Like to pub chat id buy you a Guiness🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thanks bud, nice of you to say. I just enjoy being out there, spending a few hours next to the water and taking it all in. Cheers for watching 👍
I am the mental health champion for our company so I understand people that struggles a bit with it. Keep going every one and as Gareth says "Happy Days"!!
Yes indeed, life can be challenging at times, it can beat you to a pulp. Well done on being the mental health champion for your company, it all helps 👍
love the warrior painting on your face at the end that made me giggle! Thanks for sharing!
Ha, that was after I slipped, I didn't realise until I watched the footage back. Quite funny really!
You sound like rob Brydon you should have said would I lie to you
Rob Brydon makes an appearance in my next video, he enjoys a bit of sea fishing.
Hey Gareth I wonder if you are loosing the fish because you loose tension when walking down the rocks to words the shore line. Food for thought!! Thanks for sharing!
Yes possibly. When filming I'm usually doing five things at once and the concentration levels tend to drop...and I lose a few fish! Glad you enjoyed 👍
very much enjoying your videos keep them coming! We all miss are own my friend! Just keep positive and doing what you do it may help many people around!
Thank you, glad you're enjoying them. It seems that many people relate to what I talk about, which is good. Always good to keep those memories alive. Cheers 👍
keep going my friend you are so good at it! I know this vid is two years old but hey ho I hope you still going!
Thank you bud, I appreciate it. I've been a little busy of late but hopefully more videos to come soon. Cheers for watching 👍
Love the look of those juices. Will watch your vids on them.
Yes give them a go Jeff, they taste nice in fairness. Good for you too 👍
Fantastic things you have said in this vid butty and brilliant watch as always well done gutter you lost that big one and to that boy being bullied stay strong and keep it real 💪
Thank you Darren, appreciated as always. I do like Tenby and if I lived closer I'd fish it more often, some nice marks in fairness. Hope all is good with you, cheers for watching 👍
@@riversidewithme a different world down west butty amazing place
Hi there Gareth lad,just found your channel and guess where we are.Yep we're in Anglesey for a few days before heading to yep Tenby on Saturday hope to wet aline or two maybe see you there.Thank you for the informative and inspirational words,and Gareth don't let the buggers get to you all the best lad tight lines Jeff look out for the motorhome with an Indians head on the side,Lol
Thank you Jeff, I appreciate it. Hope you have a nice time down in Tenby, a bit of line wetting will be good! If I lived closer I'd fish there a lot more, it's a 5 hour round trip for me, although I'll hopefully give the North Beach a crack later this year as that's another Tenby mark that I enjoy fishing. Cheers and tight lines 👍
Great video mate 🎣🤙
Thank you mate, I appreciate it. Cheers for watching 👍
Nice one Gareth you ok pal. Your right there is some cracking people out there and alot of them are from the sea angling community. All the best matey from G.Y
Thank you Carl, appreciated as always. Yes it's nice to know that there's still a few good people in the world! I'm good thanks mate, hope all is ok with you! Greetings to Grimsby 👍
Another great video Gareth, and I miss the old days too, I can relate to everything you say! Great story about John Wilson, true fishing legend!
Thank you Maurizio, appreciated as always. Yes it was good to meet John, it was an enjoyable evening and I remember it very well. Ah the old days...they were the best days, something different about them, more simple, less complicated. Cheers as always 👍
Great videos Gareth, love the mind full moments, its what fishing is all about. As you might guess, I love fishing for mullet, and there are no videos about catching Bristol Channel mullet that I can find. I fish Devon's clear waters, and would love to see how you would tackle them 👍
Thank you Steve, much appreciated, I'm pleased you've been enjoying the videos. Yes I just enjoy being out there, spending a few hours next to the water, any fish that turn up are a bonus. I sometimes fish for Mullet locally, although they're not easy to catch in the coloured water. I might do a Mullet video at some point, could be on the cards. Cheers 👍
Nice video watched this from my hospital bed lol
Thank you. Sorry to hear that bud, nothing too serious I hope! Keep on fishing 👍
❤great video Gareth. Your dad gave you a huge Dogfish session .love the respect you have for Dad..
Thank you William, appreciated as always. Yes it was a nice weekend down in Tenby, lovely place in fairness. I'll hopefully give the North beach a go later this year...I'll get Dad to arrange some good fish!! Take care 👍
Thanks for the great video Gareth
You're welcome Chris. Thank you for watching, much appreciated 👍
Nice one gareth ,me and the mrs love tenby but i`ve never taken the rods with me after watching this video the next time we go down there it`ll be the rods i pack first. Glad you had some fish though even if you had a shed load of doggies tight lines buddy.
Thank you Del. Ah yes, give the fishing a go the next time you visit Tenby. I do like it down there, I've caught a number of species off those rocks over the years, particularly from dusk onwards...wished I lived closer, I'd be down there all the time ha! Cheers as always, tight lines 👍
Great watch as always mate👌 was down there few weeks ago managed a hound on the feathers 😂
A hound on the feathers...now that has to be a first 😂. I do like Tenby, wished I lived a little closer, I'd fish it regularly! Thank you Sion, appreciated as always 👍

The great thing about your videos is that even when you blank, it's still entertaining. I also watch the Fish Locker, where the man keeps banging out specimen fish all day long, fish most of us spend our lives dreaming about, but yours is closer to reality. I too have spent hundreds of hours cold and damp on Welsh beaches staring at an unrepsonsive beachcaster tip, or pulling in crabs or clumps of weed, so I know the score. Those shots of the landscape and sky and little details make this channel special. Perhaps you could go further afield sometimes in Wales...maybe to one of those gorgeous estuaries on the west coast?
Thank you Colin, much appreciated. I try to keep it real, showing the good and the bad, hence the blanks on my channel ha! I can't rely on the fish so much these days as there's not so many about and therefore I tend to focus on the deeper side of angling (I caught more fish when I was 10 than I do now). I'd love to fish West Wales more often, although most of those marks is a 5 to 6 hour round trip for me and with working full-time etc I don't get many chances to head that way. I was down in Tenby last weekend, not sure if you've seen that one. Cheers for watching, take care 👍
Cheapy old boat rod is the best weapon you got Boi Bach lol. …. To be honest I think we all overcasting the fish anyway they’re a lot more close in than you think. x
Great stuff Gareth
Thank you Hereward, much appreciated. I'll hopefully be out again soon. Cheers 👍
@@riversidewithme no worries dude i appreciate all of your videos , very insightful to all of us with a bit of a black dog and the fishing is great , keep it up as it’s always well thought , balanced and the cinematography is very well executed
@herewardparry-jones841 Thank you. I try my best to make a relaxing watch. I can't rely on the fish like I used to, not so many about these days, although I still love being out there.
@@riversidewithme just keep it real it’s not the catching it’s the fishing mate but I do enjoy how you take the xtra shots of surroundings , am only over the river so will be nicking some of your spots to take my nine year old this summer , so Thankyou
Can you take spider crab, is there a size limit? Do they taste OK?
You can take spider crab, quite a sweet meat, I tried one years ago. I think size restrictions vary depending on where you are in the UK.
Great watch Gareth, I'm going to fish that rock mark one day. My Bamps' ashes are there. Be nice to fish with him again. Thanks mate, brought back some great memories 👍👍🎣🎣
Ah that's nice Dylan, what a great spot for your Bamps' ashes. I'm sure he'd love it if you fished off there and no doubt all of those memories would come flooding back. It's a cracking mark and anything can turn up, literally! Cheers as always bud, take it easy 👍😍
Stunning music and production mate
Thank you mate, nice of you to say. I do like Tenby, will hopefully be back down there later this year. Cheers 👍
Hi Gareth,I can only say thankyou for your hard work.
Thank you Andy, I appreciate that. Hopefully more to come soon with a bit of luck. Cheers as always 👍
Hi Gareth totally understand about the refund mate i love your Videos and i dont get out so much these days and love the videos and venues i have used myself total ledgend mate i will donate money to a worthy cause maybe subscribers could choose tight lines 👍
Thank you Vince, it was very generous of you, much appreciated. I'm pleased to hear that you enjoy the videos, hopefully more to come with a bit of luck. It was an enjoyable weekend down in Tenby, nice to get a couple of sessions in! It's probably best if you choose a charity of your choice, or just keep it for yourself bud. Cheers for the support 👍
Wow I'd take that smoothhound over anything what a beautiful fish.
Thank you Stuart, pretty fish aren't they. I'll hopefully give the North beach a go later this year. Cheers 👍
Hello mate fished black pipe Saturday morning beautiful day only had the one bite small strap conger.fished the beach opposite docks at night 5 people 8 rods nobody had a touch,fished black rock last night 3 rods blanked again.transpoeter bridge inlet tonight targeting the bass.thise gates are open you know where I mean just chain them up after you.had 5 congers there in two sessions 12l,b ,7,7,6 and a 5 chasing the 30
Sounds like you've been getting a few sessions in mate, can't fault it...good luck on the Bass tonight, hopefully there will be one or two about. Yeah that spot on the mouth has to be one of the best Conger areas in Wales and there's every chance of getting a 30 I reckon! I used to get quite a few Thornback from there too but none this year so far. Cheers as always, tight lines! 👍
EXCELLENT ALLROUND CONTENT ,WELL DONE
Thank you Robert, I appreciate that. Hopefully more to come soon, cheers for watching 👍
