Halcyon days… I’ve fallen out of love with carp fishing over the last 10-15 years with kids, businesss work etc. I mainly lure fish these days with a couple of carp trips a year. But this and Tim’s podcasts have brought it all flooding back. I miss those days of the magazine peak. At that time I was a teenager/ school early 20s and carp fishing obsessed sucking in every bit of knowledge and bit of history there was in print. The books and the magazines were like bibles read over and over again. Massive pangs of nostalgia listening to these. Well done Korda, Jim, Tim etc. loved every minute of them. Might even have to start getting the rods out more.
It was me Jim referred to as the bloke who thinks you should be the next Chris Ball. I stand by that comment Rich. You are THE man.
He's brilliant isn't he!
Great podcast , I started carping the same month TC carp came out and it massively helped me at the time as I’d not even seen a knot less knot let alone tied one !! One 10lb carp later and 25 years later I’m still doing it . Massive thanks to Jim , great guest !
Love this podcast and an insight into the DHP days. I used to love Catchmore and then Total Carp and used to collect all the back issues. Sadly, I no longer have them but this podcast brought back a lot of good memories. Never forget how excited I used to get by a monthly magazine coming out.
Great guest and a great listen, really like these type of guests.
Half hour in and loving it
Thanks Frank, hope you enjoyed the rest of it too and big love to you mate. I wanted to talk about meeting & fishing with you but there just wasn't time to get everything in - but Tobes / Rich have said I might be able to do another one if this one goes down ok.
Hi Jim i loved it no wonder we got on so well always im very fond of you.
Im sure if we lived nearer we would have seen and fished a lot more mate.
Good on you pal x
Ill listen to this one tonight and looking forward to it, Jim published a letter from me years ago in TC in response to a bloke losing loads of carp at Drayton around the platforms, made my day 👍
I vaguely remember it!!! Hope you're well, Leigh!
Bringing back so many memories, especially talking about Maddock’s & Withy Pool.
Great Podcast Jim
I have to say, I absolutely loved that. Didn't know much about Jim before listening, beyond his magazine work, so it was fascinating to listen to the inside story. As a slightly older dad, the end range true, although my little one was on the bank when he was three weeks old and did his first night in a bivvy a few months later...
Brilliant episode, i grew up reading Total carp. Brought back so many great memories. Good times.
Thoroughly enjoyable, great stories and history!
I fished York University in the 90s. I knew someone who worked in the electronics department called Carl. Made up excellent long sounder box cables. I, too, used to cast to that bridge. I was there last year for a rewards evening. Bought back good memories.
Listening to this as I work on my bench and the fact he mentions getting a bucket from Dan and to what korda is today is buy far the best mention to a man who has created a legacy in carp fishing 🎣 and many other things around angling
Exactly this! Quite the contrast. Hope you enjoyed the 'cast!
@jimfosterfish still listening to it now I've spent a little time on the bank with Colin Davidson many moons ago a very funny chap when he was living in sunny Essex
Haven’t seen Jim for years! Since the mag days! He looks like a young guy made-up to look old 😂
Enjoyed this!
Best watch for me in a while. Never knew DHP was just down the road from me too.
Well done Jim 👏 hopefully see ya soon
Eel Pie Island I think he's referring to David Gilmour from Pink Floyd! I remember Terry commenting on a video when trundling down the river one time with that wide boy Nick 😄
deffo a few rock stars living on the banks of the Thames on that stretch - The Rolling Stones were originally from Richmond & Cream were local too. Many years ago a friend fell out of his boat near Teddington lock & a guy jumped in & swam out to help him - tuned out to be Rick Parfit (Status Quo).
Another excellent pod cast.
Ive been hoping to hear from someone like Jim from the wider circles of carp fishing and publishing. Really enjoyable cast, I'm sure theres plenty more for a part 2.
Can we hear from Joe and Rob Bell of Carpology, they've got some great stories to tell 😉
Great shout!
Cheers Jim / Rich, really enjoyed that one. Would love to hear more from Jim about his music and other interests 👍
25 mins in and in stitches, brilliant 😂
Really enjoyable episode - thanks for coming on Jim - you really helped positively change carp fishing & I have spoken to many people over the years who have had lots of good things to say about you. Lots of people say it was the Korda underwater vids & thinking tackle that really blew the scene up but Total Carp was the predecessor that set it all up.
I remember buying Catchmore (possibly the last one) that had loads of scantily clad women in it. Wasn't there a few girls fishing with Derek Ritchie in the early issues? :D
also remember the parody Total Crap that Singy created on the Cemex forum - Chilly with his balls hanging out - LOL
great stories about DHP, your life, passion & enthusiasm #hatdoffed
Brilliant podcast Jim, different from the norm, great stories about the Thames and the house !!
Loved it me old skate mate x
Aww Les xxx
Terry eustace used to fish with my grandad before they both passed.
I remember him telling me of trips to ireland to sea fish with him.
Shame terry shop is closed down now
Lovely bloke is Jim
Get him back, he must have loads more to talk about. Brilliant podcast
Brill 👌🏻
Im loving this podcast from jim being he's a fellow pompey lad . 👌
Blue Army! Fingers crossed for tomorrow...
🤞🏼 jim . PUP 🙏
Jim obviously didn’t get the memo about not mentioning Adam penning or Ali 😂
Pretty sure pervis was the green cross code guy
That was David Prowse ex body builder
Here's his Wiki link - he's 85 now, bless him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Purves
There's no mention of Mad About Dogs on there. Must have gone under the radar with that one!!!
