“You can’t beat playing a fish from a boat in the middle of the river “, exactly my thoughts when I’m doing the same from my boat carp n piking the Thames. Great video Jim.

Daddybrown 👏🏻😀🎣 love your comments mate 😍

I employ the far bank/near bank lead setup a lot dropping baits from a boat. You reference how quick you need to be, you might try this method? Go out, drop your rig, then go up the far margin against the flow for a fairly decent way, before cutting back across river in a big upriver bow. When you get back to your swim there should still be a decent upriver bow moving down. This gives you tons of time to take get off the boat, get the rod extended and backlead on, then it’s a case of taking up the slack as the flow straightens it and dropping the backlead so everything settles in straight. I’ve had great results since coming up with this, both in the uk and on the Lot

Hi Joe, that’s exactly what I do in the strong flows. Always come back in a curve against the flow 👍🏻👍🏻 It’s quite snaggy where I was fishing so going up the far margin could result in getting snagged up. Hope you’re catching plenty 👍🏻👍🏻🎣

@@jim_lightfoot yeah snags suck. I’m fortunate that I don’t have to fish so tight to the margin as this. I have more issues with the rowers then the flow. Close season for me at the minute, I always enjoy the break tbf!

Awesome session Jim, thanks for sharing. It's some back garden that!! 💪💪
