Nice jim double👍👍from me been watching for a while all youre blogs thought it was time to thank you for all youre efforts and hard work posting youre blogs 👊
Another cracking session Jim, looks like that French cuisine custom of scoffing small creatures like snails and frogs is sitting well with you. Muesli avec ants! Hilarious! Thanks for sharing mate and keep them coming!
Love it Jim! 😂 those damn ants though, surves them right ending up as breakfast when they invaded your cereal. 😂 awesome fish though and a beautiful river 👍
Great to see u still living the dream jim those river carp are stunning creatures long and lean a tip about your boat leak wear a lifejacket to bed lol cheers jim and tightlines
Quality as always Jim. i would sure like to have a crack on the river sometime , do you have any swims that can be booked ? what a way to live 👍 keep it up💪
Cheers 😀👍🏻 I use both depending on where I am but I’m happy just soaking maize for a couple of days. When it’s slightly harder the roach & bream don’t like it as much 🎣🐟
@@jim_lightfoot that’s good to know Jim, I didn’t think it’d be very attractive in that state but clearly they love it. Certainly makes bait preparation & storage on the river bank much easier
Cheers 😀👍🏻 You don’t when you have the bobbins at the front..I’m only fishing real close to the boat so all the pick ups are the type which try to pull the rod in 😀 Come night fall & once all the boat traffic has stopped I will switch the bobbins back behind the alarms 👍🏻
Great video Jim, really enjoy your videos. Random question but was you walking down the bridgewater canal in dunham recently? If it wasnt you then it was a double of you. 😂
Haha Jeff..yes mate it was me. Was on a flying visit back home & couldn’t help but have a walk along the canal 😀 Was you fishing? Should have said hello 👍🏻👍🏻 Cheers 🎣
Yes mate I was fishing I wasn't sure if it was you or not so didn't want to make a berk of myself haha.. Had a couple of old commons recently from dunham and agden area. Nothing massive, only doubles but good to see there's a few carp about after the fish kill years ago.
Jim your leaky boat can be fixed but would entail taking it out, turning it upside down and letting it dry out in the sun, then it can be repaired. Not so many ❤ly fish on this trip, but great.
Cheers Streetcat..it’s on a trailer now, I’ll have another go at fixing it 💪🏻 have already fibreglass one hole but it must have been leaking elsewhere too 🤣⚓️
Ants for breakfast - you are proper hardcore Jim ! Quick question - with the outboard I read somewhere you have to do some kind of boating test in France if you use a 6hp or bigger on the rivers is this something that's enforced regularly and that's why you use a 4hp on your main boat ?
Cheers Steve 😁🎣 yes mate anything over 6hp & you need paper work. You can do the boat licence over in the UK with RYA 👍🏻👍🏻 I use the 4hp mainly as it’s easier to transport & carry by myself
Great film, always look forward to watching you adventures 👍🏻💪🏻🎣
Cheers FastPony , real nice of you to say 👏🏻👍🏻

Great video as always Jim…. Do you cook your maize or just soak it? It always looks very al dente 😅
Cheers 😀👍🏻 I use both depending on where I am but I’m happy just soaking maize for a couple of days. When it’s slightly harder the roach & bream don’t like it as much 🎣🐟

Thanks for sharing your adventures!! how do you get drop back indication when fishing from a boat with bobbins in the front?
Cheers 😀👍🏻
You don’t when you have the bobbins at the front..I’m only fishing real close to the boat so all the pick ups are the type which try to pull the rod in 😀
Come night fall & once all the boat traffic has stopped I will switch the bobbins back behind the alarms 👍🏻
Nice video Jimbo
Cheers Albob 😁👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Cheers Gary, will do a couple of cat fishing vids this year. I do enjoy fishing for them 💪🏻🎣
Hi Jim what braided mainline are you using
Hi Lee..mainly kastking in 40lb or fox submerge in 55lb. Both quality & kastking a lot cheaper! 👍🏻🎣
👏👏👏🤝
