  • Mike and Mark head off on an adventure in search of freedom while fishing some Public Waters in France. What a trip it turns out to be, Mike nearly lost a finger 👆, they both catch COVID but despite the struggle it comes good in the end with a few BIG CARP. It's raw at times but it was a trip of mixed emotions, an angling memory we'll never forget.

      @ piscatorian, that's what everyone says until it happens ... it only takes once.
      I've been bivvied up and a venue bailiff was in peg next-door and he had his scales, sling and mat and barrow nicked one night, luckily I've not had that happen to me, and after that year I fished large pits alone around Yorkshire and always got through unscathed, but I know many lads that have lost everything outside there bivvy in the middle of the night. 😖

      @Smudgie Рік тому +1

      @@technomickdocumentalist2495 I know of 2 cases where it's happened. Lads have gone out in a boat to drop rigs or play fish and come back to an empty bivvy. I'm not saying how likely it is to happen, I'm saying it can and does happen. But if there is any possibility of avoiding it, then why not.
