Can't believe it on watching this.First boat passing by a Le Boat hire boat. In 3 hours time i;m off to the Thames Barbel fishing and no doubt the first boat of the day will be a Le Boat hire craft. Great video
Well done Jim three loverly commons, some massive paddles on river carp and proper battles, tights lines and already looking forward to your next one's 👍👍
Fantastic Pioneering there Jim , cracking result and I particularly enjoyed your Joe Pasquale impersonation when that carp headed for the snags! Keep em coming fella.
Wicked Jim! I'm watching this on the side of a French canal in the middle of nowhere, complete silence, no-one around for miles, waiting for dark and what it may bring. Your films are certainly inspiring👍
I've only just stumbled across your channel after watching lots of other carpers. This video is awesome, exactly the kind of Carp fishing I want to see and try! Also great to hear an accent from my neck of the woods!
@@jim_lightfoot No such thing as bad bits on tranquil rivers in France. The Charante is another river worth looking at, I’ve seen some whacking fish in there, but I’ve never had my gear or the time to try for them properly.
Once again great video jim .....that's just my kind of thing I do when I have my 6 week yearly trip out there mate.trying the river vienne next year. Top fishing mate and videos so enjoyable.
Brilliant vid Jim thanks, you must get a bait boat all the snaggy overgrown swims you can get right in and don't have to worry about restricted casting, rural France fishing easily the best especially if you can get away from bolshy French fisherman !!
Hello mate, I’ve just got back into fresh water fishing after living abroad and doing sea fishing. Great video and I believe your a fellow salfordian? I’ve started pike fishing now for winter after a good summer and great local carp fishing. Great content mate!
I’m mainly fishing stretches which have no track record so there’s no info out there. Just pick a part of France you fancy, go on the regional aappma website & it will tell you what rivers you can night fish. Then it’s just a case of wandering the banks until you see an area you fancy & go for it👍🏻🎣
Cheers James 😀 all depends how active the small silver fish are, if they are active & eating my maize then maybe every couple of hours. If not then normally after a pick up 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Andrew, I’d say roughly about 50% of public waters in France allow night fishing. Each region has their own federation website which you can check on 👍🏻👍🏻🎣
How come you don’t put a small PVA nugget on the hook when you cast?! That way absolutely no worries about tangles or catching a leaf. I’m amazed. Nice video thanks 👍
Cheers Matt, I normally would do but just didn’t have any on me..with the big heatwave the leaves are falling off the trees a lot earlier than normal 👍🏻🎣 I have a bag of them in my bag now 😁🎣🎣
@@jim_lightfoot didn’t seem to affect you anyway mate, you were getting takes!! Beautiful fish. Wouldn’t it be nice to own a fishing spot like that?! Thought you might have had a slime ball bream. Lovely video.
@@jim_lightfoot another superb video jim mate my heart was going when that 2nd torpedo of a carp went for those snags 😆good angling glad you got it out nice one 😎😁👍
Shame for Fishing had to go abroad because you case, lakes and rivers,99%of a private shame I know I can understand how they can privatise natural lake or river. It is a natural it’s supposed to be for everyone not only for rich😢
Great video, proper carp fishing . No rip-off syndicate ticket , named fish, and not trying to flog overpriced tackle .
Cheers Graham 👏🏻 yep, I try & avoid all of that 😀🎣
I agree, where can you fish like this in UK?
Can't believe it on watching this.First boat passing by a Le Boat hire boat. In 3 hours time i;m off to the Thames Barbel fishing and no doubt the first boat of the day will be a Le Boat hire craft. Great video
Cheers Neil 👏🏻👍🏻 those ‘Le Boat’ hire craft get everywhere 😁 lovely boats too 👌🏻
There a menace on the Thames le boat rentals , one wedged in entrance to lock recently in front of me and another up on grass verge last year 😂

Nice fishing bro
Nice one 👍🏻👍🏻🎣

Hello mate, I’ve just got back into fresh water fishing after living abroad and doing sea fishing. Great video and I believe your a fellow salfordian? I’ve started pike fishing now for winter after a good summer and great local carp fishing.
Great content mate!
Cheers for that 👍🏻 & yes Salford born & bred 😁 the French have difficulty understanding us 🤣💪🏻
I love my piking too..hope you get a few this winter 🎣
How you prepaire a corn?do you put a somthing in corn when you cocing?
Nothing..just soak in water for 24hrs then boil for about 30mins. I do about 25kg at a time in a big boiler 😀🎣
@@jim_lightfoot tnx!👍🍺
I'm wanting to do this ! Just don't have a clue what river to start on or where I'm allowed to be !!!!
I’m mainly fishing stretches which have no track record so there’s no info out there. Just pick a part of France you fancy, go on the regional aappma website & it will tell you what rivers you can night fish. Then it’s just a case of wandering the banks until you see an area you fancy & go for it👍🏻🎣
@@jim_lightfoot I am going August this year still no clue where to go lol
❤the video. What camera you using Jim please.
Cheers 👏🏻👍🏻 I’m using either my iPhone 13 or GoPro hero 10 👍🏻👍🏻
What bivvy are you using?
It’s an old FOX Evo 👍🏻🎣
👍
Banging video mate! When you’re canal fishing how often are you topping up your bait?
Cheers James 😀 all depends how active the small silver fish are, if they are active & eating my maize then maybe every couple of hours. If not then normally after a pick up 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi. Is fishing at night allowed in France ?
Hi Andrew, I’d say roughly about 50% of public waters in France allow night fishing. Each region has their own federation website which you can check on 👍🏻👍🏻🎣

Or bit of rig foam round hoook
Hi what area is it ?
SW France, Garonne area 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 👍
drag is a bit tight but nice 👌
Cheers Harry, the snags are brutal so can’t afford to give them much line 👍🏻🎣
Is that the Louge Jim?
No mate 🎣
@@jim_lightfoot ok mate just looked a bit familiar thought it was. Great session and video mate 👏👏👏
@@richardclarke5542 Cheers Richard, being honest i've never heard of the Louge..so many rivers flow into the Garonne, its a beast of a river 💪🏻😀🎣
@@jim_lightfoot another superb video jim mate my heart was going when that 2nd torpedo of a carp went for those snags 😆good angling glad you got it out nice one 😎😁👍
Put a pva nugget on your hook mate
I normally have a few in my bag but not this time 😀👍🏻

Those reels sound like their made of wood.
Cracking reels but I’ve abused them the last three years 😁💪🏻🎣
