Have fished Granges sur Lot , Temple & Cassenuel totally amazing beautiful place hard fishing deffo need a boat though to fish there and the French will never thank us for catching their carp great video loved it
Lovely video, we have travelled the Lot Valley…..the river always looked fantastic, and I dreamed of the carp in it. Pleased you got out, Steve and Joan!
When Ya Scooped That Mirror The Pause For A Quick Second Was Just Amazing Scenery 👌 Good Fishing, Good Times, Awesome Place In General 💯 Stay Safe Out There 🇺🇲 👍
What a great trip felt every bit of it great filming too plus some fish plus great people time spent with memories made it’s what life is all about keep up living your best life I’m enjoying it with you 👍🏻✌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fantastic video Steve and joan thanks for your adventures once again😁I had an experience in france a fortnight ago when went to retrieve my spomb in a boat with no paddles inside so bad to use my hands😚anyway all the very best Danboy
I've said it before and I will say it again Steve you really are the luckiest person on earth to be able to do the one thing you love with the person you love, even Jeff Bezos can't buy that ! As usual a superb video.
Awesome video I appreciate learning from your videos everytime and that is what I enjoy the most as a very young angler and RU-vidr so being able too learn something everytime is just amazing
Looks very similar to a stretch I have fished at Sainte-Livrade-sur-lot, staying with a friend who also has a house there. Stunning place and fantastic river.
I live on a boat on a fairly deep section of river in uk. If i fish far side u lose em. If I fish at any depth on my near side deeper than 12 foot its dangerous too. If I fish in 6 foot to 12 ft neaR side i lose nowt. The beauty of wild fish is you choose where to hook em and bait accordingly. There's nowt worse than leaving yer tackle in a carp.
I'm always amazed at how big the boats are out there... there's us English with little 17 footers and shallow drafts to not catch the bottom... I guess the rivers out there are much deeper even in the margins. Do you know what make and model boat Jim has got?
Hi Ben it didn’t seem that big after three or four days 😆 yes the rivers are bigger and deeper for sure. I don’t know what make of boat Jim’s is? His boat is really nice a bit bigger than the one we had with seats on the back, I know he bought it over there after seeing it in a marina.
@@stevebriggs4638 cheers Steve. And yes I imagine "cabin fever" set in after a few days - a night or two is about all I could manage I reckon! Thanks again
Yes absolutely I've used both to preserve freezer baits for long trips over many years. Salt is the better one as sugar tends to turn to liquid if there's any moisture in the baits. For actually hardening the baits air-drying is still the best way.
@@stevebriggs4638 yea I tryed both metod to but on home-rolled bait. But what about salt in summer and sugar in winter time? like all souped making them some energy bombs?
I’ve had a few different trips to the St. Lawrence both USA and Canada side. Yellow boilies either pineapple or Scopex caught all of my best fish, mostly snowman ⛄️
All waters tend to be a bit different, but I mainly use Citruz pop ups over pellets or crumbed boilies and hemp or a mixture of all three. Some waters will accept a lot more bait than others but I tend to just fish for one bite at a time.
Steve I have fished the Lot a few times over the years mainly when on family holidays just fishing for the barbel so know it fairly well in different spots one thing I always wondered when watching Jim's vids is why fish across the current to the far bank why not fish along the bank you are closest to ?
Basically fishing across gives you more options and also gives you a better angle to pull the fish away from snags which they invariably want to be around. Fishing the near side would be the easiest option but in two trips now all of the fish I’ve landed from various areas have all come from the far margin.
