    All credit to your very supportive wife. Dont find that support very often. My experience is having to justify why I fish. Been fishing from the age of 5 and never grown up when it comes to fishing. A big shout out for all understanding wifes😂. Tight lines Jim keep the vids going

    I'm so glad I found your channel Jim. Love the canal adventures and exploring new stretches, unknown waters 😊 It's a very exciting way of carp fishing indeed. Luckily I have a supportive partner too and we often camp out trying different spots. I also use the baiting spoon to spread particals and boilies. Keep up exploring and spoiling us with new videos 😃 Greetings from Hungary 🇭🇺

    Big effort there Jim but got a couple of nice ones - that cat was a bit of a monster for a little canal probably eating alot of the crayfish though so doing a good job

    Lucky man Jim, Shaz is a top northern lass. Jim quick question, you don’t seem to worry about feeling lead down. I know your a top top angler caused everywhere, but like Briggs’s you don’t seem to worry about it.

      I never worry about feeling the lead down, don’t really care what I’m fishing on so long as there’s carp knocking about . The clear, hard spots are well overrated 👍🏻🎣

    • @jim_lightfoot
      @jim_lightfoot  8 місяців тому +1

      Hi bashab, yes they do mate..there’s flow monitors along the river. Navigation not allowed when the flow is above 300m3.
      The big tourists boats will either cancel your trip or ask if you would like to go from one of their canal destinations 👍🏻🎣 hope you catch a few

    Hi Jim really enjoying your French canal and river fishing👍
    I’m looking to venture over to France and fish the canals mainly and the odd still water but hearing that night fishing is illegal, can you share any info to help clarify the night fishing law?
