Brilliant film Jimbo, A catfish film would be brilliant, try to catch one over 100 lb in 48 hours? Can't wait to get back on the river. Stay safe Jim Steve Finch
Thats some amazing river fish! Prime specimens there Jim, well done sir! Love your setups to for fighting the fish on the river as well gave me some insights into fishing some of the big resivors and rivers! 👍👍
Nice one Jim epic boat battle ending in a beautiful common. I’m just a bit jealous should have been on the Charente in a weeks time obviously not now though 😢
Hi James, I only ever use only a small number of very reliable knots. Mainly, the ‘Grinner’ ‘Double Grinner’ ‘Albright Knot’ & ‘Figure of 8’ loop knot. My braid to shock leader is a double Grinner & mono to hybrid lead clip is a Grinner knot 👍🏻👍🏻 I’ll do a video over the winter & put it up 🎣
Cheers Alisdair 👍🏻 yes soak them both for 24hrs then boil for 30mins. Although with Tiger Nuts if you can soak them for about 5 days they don’t need boiling 🎣 I use big amounts & soak 25kg at a time
Yes Matt that’s correct, although you can just turn up, purchase a licence & fish the rivers as they are a public fishery 👍🏻 The holiday home is just a great place to take the missus & kids whilst we fish 😀👍🏻
Cheers Martin 👍🏻🎣 you just need the French national permit..easy to purchase online via cartedepeche website. Check the local aappma websites for fishing zones 🎣🇫🇷
10/10…one of the best carp videos I’ve had the pleasure of watching….more please! 👍👍👍
Many thanks Andy..what a top thing to say 👏🏻 much appreciated

Hey Jim, what knot do you use to tie that thick mono leader to your lead clip? And what braid to mono knot do you use?
Hi James, I only ever use only a small number of very reliable knots.
Mainly, the ‘Grinner’ ‘Double Grinner’ ‘Albright Knot’ & ‘Figure of 8’ loop knot.
My braid to shock leader is a double Grinner & mono to hybrid lead clip is a Grinner knot 👍🏻👍🏻

Did you say that you just soak your tiger nuts and was it maize.
For a long time .
How long for ?
Great videos.

Happy days bud, FairPlay is that a private swim?
Cheers Matt, yes..it’s a swim in a holiday home garden on the banks of the river. Called ‘RiverLotParadise’ 👍🏻👍🏻
Jim Lightfoot Carp & Predator Fishing hi Jim, thanks for that I presume it’s the home you book for a holiday and the fishing comes with it?
Yes Matt that’s correct, although you can just turn up, purchase a licence & fish the rivers as they are a public fishery 👍🏻 The holiday home is just a great place to take the missus & kids whilst we fish 😀👍🏻

Great video Jim. What licence do I need to fish that river? Can you fish anywhere? I'm stating in Duras this summer. Cheers
