great vid as always Jim....It did make me laugh when you spotted the dog turd,I thought yep jim's not forgot the 2nd rule of fishing the Bridgewater canal,which was always scan the ground before setting your tackle down. LOL
Great film Jim loved it as always was up your way today at the Salford quays didn’t look like that French canal but never mind good luck to you and Shaz k😢putting the blogs out and enjoying life 👏👏👏👍
@@jim_lightfoot I know mate the ship canal has produced some great fish around the Kelloggs stretch and others but I was thinking more about setting that your in and finding some solace and being at peace 👍
Thanks Jim & shaz a good cardio work out i felt tired just watching , such beutifal canals out there, there proper stunning fish the colours, condition and prob never seen a hook? , im already looking forward to next one, atb best guys
Brilliant video's Jim, always look forward to your next one. The canals look so peaceful and picturesque. From one Manchester lad to another, good on yer' mate!
What do you reckon Jim, hook pulled due to the very short hair? Might see you on the bank sometime, new years resolution is to get after it in 47 this (next) year 👍
Another great trip Jim those carp were quite distinctive with their orange tails and faces possibly a unique strain to that canal or have you seen them elsewhere?
Cheers Steve 👏🏻 definitely unique to that area of France. I’ve seen the same strain in a couple of the lakes in that region too. The ground around there tends to make the water a turquoise colour which produces those distinctive lovely looking carp 👌🏻🎣
Nice 1 jim!!
You clearly struck gold with shaz, she comes fishing and even pulls the kit along!!
Keep the vids coming in 2024 m8!!!!
Cheers Greg 👏🏻 Shaz is a diamond 😍 loves the outdoors like me

Cheers Andy 👍🏻🎣 top gent for saying
I agree with matey, your a lucky man to have found a good woman
Cheers Andrew..31 years we have been married. Shaz is a star 😍
What do you reckon Jim, hook pulled due to the very short hair? Might see you on the bank sometime, new years resolution is to get after it in 47 this (next) year 👍
No mate, just a bit of bad luck..their mouths are real tough & rubbery due to the crayfish eating. Very rare I get a hook pull 👍🏻🎣
Great idea, but better with an electric bike😂
Cheers..couldn’t handle the shame of an electric bike 🤣💪🏻👍🏻
Couldl of used your inflatable and saved your energy
