The Fishing Trip is a running joke in Gavin & Stacey. It refers to something that happened involving Bryn and Jason on a fishing trip some time before the series began (the Gavin & Stacey book indicates that it occurred late on Saturday 13 August or the early hours of Sunday 14 August, which would make it 2005). Other characters (apart from Dave Coaches, to whom Bryn "confessed") do not know the details although they do know that whatever happened caused extreme and long-lasting embarrassment to both men.

What We Know[]

  • They were on their knees
  • They did it because it was cold.
  • It is legal in the United Kingdom (though it is probably illegal elsewhere)
  • According to Dave, it defies the laws of gravity
  • It may have something to do with soup, as Dave approaches Bryn while he is drinking soup and says "seeing you standing there there with the soup sets my mind racing".

Participants[]

In Series 2, Dave Coaches is back romantically involved with Nessa therefore back accepted into the West Household. Bryn finds out that this is happenning and starts panicking, so he goes up to Jason and confesses that he has told someone about the Fishing Trip. Bryn told Jason, that Six months after the Fishing Trip, Bryn still remained crying so he went over to the Island to play a game of Crazy Golf. Afterwards he met Dave at the kiosk (where he worked) and he asked how he was and that is when all that was revealed and since then Bryn and Dave have really never gotten on. It is very awkward when Dave takes the West's to Bingo and he says.

So everything is alright now, you know, between you two because I wasn't really expecting you to be here, together. In addition in the Christmas special (2008) Bryn, Jason and Dave have a late night meeting in the kitchen all getting some milk. Dave walks in on the both of them hugging shirtless. Bryn says they are going to talk it out but Gavin walks in a few moments later breaking up the meeting.
