Seriously Jim, can't believe you only have 3.3k subscribers. Your vids are my favourite Carp vids on the whole of KZbin. I have been Carp fishing for 45 years and can only dream of having your life. Keep em coming. River Carping at the end of the garden on your own terms. Doesn't get better than that. Really look forward to your uploads. 🙂👍

[@jim_lightfoot]

Gavin…that’s a top top thing to say & really appreciate that, especially with somebody with 45 years carping experience! That’s even more than me!🤣🎣 I’m not one to say like & share as it’s not my style..just real glad anglers like yourself enjoy the vids. Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻

Cracking video Jim, loving all the river and canal adventures. Would love to see a video dedicated to your river rod and rig setup, seeing how you tie your snag leaders, rigs and the bottle rig with the stop knots. Not saying I don’t love the adventures and you always show the setup but would be cracking to see the setup in detail, could learn a lot from it. Either way, love the videos, can’t wait to see the next one cheers

I used to do a few TT’s about 10/12 years ago but all in the south, the name doesn’t ring a bell but coincidentally one of my best friends was a very good time trialist Tim Stevens who passed away 8 years ago. They do a tandem cat on TT’s, maybe you and Shaz ??? 🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️😊👍🏻

@@titchworld8082 Cheers Titch 😀🎣 it doesn’t work like that on French rivers..they are all owned by the state and no clubs are allowed to have their own sections. You just have to check out the local rules via the government run aappma websites. They have one for each region of France 👍🏻🎣
