What a great video. That is my kind of fishing. Short, opportunistic sessions when the chance presents itself. With a busy family life, I don’t have the time to bore them out anymore. This inspires me to keep on going. Well done 👍
My dad used to fish at Cassein most years but unfortunately just passed away. We watched this together on the morning of Christmas day and it made him so happy. Thank you
Dan, I'm well and truly touched by your comment. I lost my dad 4 years ago tomorrow and he is the reason I became obsessed with French carp fishing. Thank you so much.
Just stumbled accross this. Hats off to you John. This is such an enjoyable watch. Proper effort trying to balance fishing and family. Absolutely brilliant angling. Loved it 👍👍👍
A great informative video. To get so many big fish on short sessions whilst on a family holiday takes huge dedication and passion. Your doing it your way and living the dream. Well done.
Fantastic watch - I always look forward to these drive and survive blogs!! Had to smile when the family got in on the capture shots👍🏼 great session!!!!
Fantastic short session fishing on limited gear. Filming it all alone isn't easy either. Well fished sir! Loved the video. Thanks for this. You are a damn good angler.
Hi mate I just wanna thank you for the good videos I have been bed bound for the last 6 months due to a motorbike accident and can't wait to finally get out on the bank when I'm healed tight lines
Cracking effort, short sessions on cassien, who'd have thought it! Love your no nonsense approach and presentation style, truly magic with the family there, well deserved results 👍🏼
Been waiting for this for ages! Love John Timmerman's vids so much! Proper epic adventures, most of which many of us wouldn't even consider embarking on. One request - please go fishing more often John! ; )
Really glad ya put this on,its the way i wanna tackle this water bare min kit,Hit and run fishing love it learnt a lot from this may thanks out there october
Great video! Loved the passion and dedication to fishing with limited time - short session fishing at its best with some great fish, too! Video slightly spoiled, though, by pulling a sneaky one. I'd guess most carpers would attest to flouting the odd rule in some shape or form - but I probably wouldn't put it in a video for all to see. If you're sticking out a "snide" one - countless other anglers think they can do the same - no point in having the reserve areas in that case - gotta think about the pressure the fish are constantly under, too!!
You are so the man. Best blogger in UK and an amazing angler. Do you do tours I would love to join you one day.? John outstanding results, effort = reward.
Ive been a big fan of your vids for a while now John and I really love them. I really loved the cheeky guesting vids you did in central France and when I saw this one was nearly an hour long, I switched my phone off for an hour to avoid any interuptions and really enjoyed it. love the way you fish. I had a short trip on Cassien quite a few years ago (2003) and only managed one, but a Cassien carp is a Cassein carp as you say. Have you fished Lac du Der? Was great there in 2003/2004 (before the mass stocking of commons!) don't know what its like now... Thanks again for your brilliant vids.
Great video mate and top angling! Well in, family holiday near Cassien.....like you're style! I see you at Gatwick only a couple of months ago but you looked busy. Would like to know where you fish in the U.K! If you even do? As I know you live local to me as I've clocked where you hire vans from on other trips haha. Class videos mate! Best ones out there. All the best Jay.
Hey John ... first off all great video man. Awsome to watch and to see that even with just a little time fishing with some efford and some good trust in yourself you can catch such nice carps. But I have a other question...are you sure this video was from september 2015 and not september 2016. If it was indeed 2016 I believe I was the dutch guy you spoke to at the west arm (american beach). And I had a screaming take (my first on cassien) just one hour after you left ^^
entertanining vid diary! whats the name of your boat? looks realy nice and double upp as a exelent mat to! someone know where i can found that boat Johns using?

Smashed it mate

Just before Christmas. Keep them coming, i like your style, sick of hearing about rambling sales pitches
well the only sales pitch is the tshirt and the live system but thats ok :)
100%, what are their baits like compared to sticky, mainline etc?
Can you tell me what Dinghie you are using? Looks perfect for my needs.
Hey John ... first off all great video man. Awsome to watch and to see that even with just a little time fishing with some efford and some good trust in yourself you can catch such nice carps.
But I have a other question...are you sure this video was from september 2015 and not september 2016. If it was indeed 2016 I believe I was the dutch guy you spoke to at the west arm (american beach).
And I had a screaming take (my first on cassien) just one hour after you left ^^
grate vid
Hi where you bought a small inflatable boat
Nice video , but I want to say that it is forbidden to fish in the reserve of Belluny ( 47' 24 ).....
Nice video its grim times on cassien now though with night fishing banned so no bivvying in swims etc
entertanining vid diary! whats the name of your boat? looks realy nice and double upp as a exelent mat to! someone know where i can found that boat Johns using?
Loved the shot when you had the family come round the back of you for the 59 pounder, Mum with glass of wine in hand and kid to boot, good job
I’m 99% sure Adam penning catches the fish at 38minutes in a recent sticky video at high 50s.
brill vid. have you done any trips in 2016 john
Quality angler.
Well deserved!.👍
Nice fish , but should have a life jacket just incase my friend.
