At a time of over-produced, commercialised carp videos its like a breath of fresh air to see some honest angling without any of the rubbish normally associated with modern carping
Cheers Michael 👍🏻 I remember reading some of his early stuff. Carp fishing was exciting back then in the UK and Bob was one of the ones leading the way 🙌🏻🎣
@@jim_lightfoot I wonder if those 30lb plus carp munch on fully matured crayfish, they certainly look like they have the mouths for the job. What do you recon Jim?
@@dannyminnikin9350 100% sure they do..on the very occasional time I put them in a retainer for a couple of hours you get crushed up big crayfish claws coming out 😀🎣
@@jim_lightfoot years ago there was a water keeper on a reservoir near me who had lots of X-rays in his water. He regularly harvested them smashed them up and used them as part of his boilie mix. Sold them onto those on the syndicate that wanted them. As far as I know anglers caught well on them although they had to use various methods to stop crays from destroying the hookbaits.
Cheers James 😀🎣 life getting in my way 😀 hopefully do a couple soon. I’m pretty sure the cork & cork drill is 5mm 👍🏻 I’ve had the same drill about 20 years 😀
Another great video Jim. Just seeing the bivvy set up in the long grass, with so little angling pressure. It's great that it's you against the carp, not 20 or 30 other anglers. Reminds of my years spent living in Germany and fishing the rivers up there. Keep them coming 👍
Cheers Andy 👌🏻🎣 oh yes..can’t get enough of it. I’ve fished all over Europe but never Germany..would love a German river carp one day 🇩🇪 Although the German carpers are big on the carp scene now out across Europe so maybe they are not so quiet anymore. All the best mate 🎣
Great session old boy I have a question would do a guided tour on the river lot if so me and my friend would love to do a 7 day trip at some point next year??
awesome adventure with some great carp Jim, I honestly can't believe how well you treat and look after Shaz - the luxury life of an angling Princess eh?
Cheers 😀👍🏻 Most of the canal spots I want to fish are quite narrow and will only fit a small bivvy in & yes those big bivvies will get me unwanted attention 😀🎣
Brilliant videos Jim, keep up the cracking captures! 😉🎣☕
Cheers Ian 👏🏻🎣 Will do my very best 😀

Jim we need a new video! Lol. What size cork do you use to balance your tigers?

Hope everything is well mate
Great video jimbo, loved it stunning carp
Cheers Matt 😍 look forward to you joining us one day 🎣
top angling Jim some really nice carp in that canal, Scruffy Bob sides they were the days m8 Bob morris or the tackle box in sutton 🤣, tight lines m8
Cheers John 😁 definitely great days. Even places left to explore in the UK back then

Top angling yet again Jim. Looking to get out pike fishing over there next winter.
Cheers 😀 love a bit of canal piking myself 👍🏻🎣
That last section with the island looked ideal
Yep it looked perfect but just none about there 😀🎣
Pretty sure you passed me on your boat at Castelmoron last Monday Jim.
Yep..could have been me. I was out & about on the river that day 👍🏻🎣
Awesome jim
Cheers Addicted 👏🏻👍🏻🎣
Great session old boy I have a question would do a guided tour on the river lot if so me and my friend would love to do a 7 day trip at some point next year??
Cheers Marc..anything is possible 😁👍🏻🎣
What would be the best way to contact you privately to discuss a possible trip
Yes Jim
Nice one Sean 💪🏻🎣
awesome adventure with some great carp Jim, I honestly can't believe how well you treat and look after Shaz - the luxury life of an angling Princess eh?
Haha…cheers Ian 😁 Queen Shaz 😍🎣
@@jim_lightfoot you know it 🥰🥰
When you prepare your maize and tigers do you add any salt or sugar to them?
Hi James, I add nothing to them. Just their own natural juices 👌🏻🎣
Another great watch Jim 🎣♥️ not sure that slightly smaller bivvy was needed though 🤔🤣
Cheers Josie x Shaz loves it 😀😍🎣
Good session Jimbo
Cheers Albob 💪🏻👍🏻
What do you tie your bait on with bait floss?
No mate, I don’t find bait floss strong enough. I use 20lb braid as my hair 🎣
Hope you’re doing well mate!
Cheers James, all good thanks mate 👍🏻🎣
How many leads do you go thru in a season lol
I go thru quite a lot James 😁🎣 love my cheap watch leads 👌🏻
perfect
Cheers 😁
Great video. Whats the issue with having a bigger bivvy? Do you get trouble from the locals, Police etc?
Cheers 😀👍🏻 Most of the canal spots I want to fish are quite narrow and will only fit a small bivvy in & yes those big bivvies will get me unwanted attention 😀🎣
Another fantastic trip Jim but re your poor wife I think you may be beyond the treat em mean keep em keen phase now 😂
Cheers Steve 😁🎣 The missus loves it 🤣🐟
