    this guy lingering at the side of me is making me feel extremely uneasy what have we got here so I’m in the middle of a massive wobble I might quck and go home right then guys it does not get more French than this I stayed on this random little French Street there’s a church there the bells are going off at 6:00 a.m. this morning for about 5 minutes nightmare it’s the sleepiest French Town you’ve ever seen in your life I’ve got so much to do today I’ve got to find a fishing license I need to find an alley to buy some food uh I need to figure out where I can fish big day so yeah let’s get straight on with it shall we let’s go bom you up no lad coming to you from middle of random France the weather was an anomaly yesterday because it’s terrible today well it’s cold it’s overcast nightmare I found a local tackle shop the only words in French I know are Bona and Palo Ang which means do you speak English fingers crossed the do because if they don’t we’re stuffed the C of mots in France because the amount of cars I’ve seen from like the 80s and not even in good condition in terrible condition po French drivers are Maniacs I swear to God here we go French Taco Shop please speak English there she blows Pacific P Pacific P right on I forgot how say do you speak English I knew this was going to happen I want to go fishing Yes somewhere River s okay can I do that yes yeah um we I get permit from there yes um you you can choose the language on the on the website okay you work here come on uh you can you can fishing just here um just just the on here maggots maggots um we got magget on a good um if you you you have you have I have yeah I bring in okay what is in here how you eat fish let’s see all good thank you that was okay there was a language barrier but we managed to get through it Google Translate is a dream I just paid £66.99 for a pint of maggots nightmare there’s like a premium on those bad boys over here man so be we be throwing them in willy-nilly well we on me first ever French River he said I’m going to bag up there’s brm and Babel and Ro and all sorts of gear €6.99 for a p of maggots man three quid where I come from and we used to complain about that cat the pese which is like a rod and Line license basically but for France I’m on the website right it won’t let me pee and I don’t know why it won’t let me buy one right so now I’ve gone through the whole rigar roll of setting up an account right I’ve finally managed to get the card on the thing press pay nothing happens what this is the reality of trying to go fishing in France I’ve done it I had to cuz I was translating the website into English I had to go out of the translation thing do it all in French and then it worked I’m now the proud holder of a French fishing license let’s go fishing man Jesus Christ that was a nightmare right then guys here we go think I’m doing it right the woman said it’s full of fish bble and all imagine a bble out of a French River we’re good told me exactly way to go let’s go see what we can do this is it then the river s looks beautiful probably cleaner than an English River anyway why it’s full of fish all right let’s get set up and do some bagging about 4 hours this guy lingering at the side of me is making me feel extremely uneasy I’ve got his pile to left of me and the other guy to the right not dodgy at all is it lingering I’ve been here for about an hour fast flowing I didn’t realize how fast flowing it was I don’t think it’s up cuz it looks about normal level but obviously we’re midwinter she’s a cold day she’s unfamiliar so I’m giving it a shot regard regardless I do feel just slightly uneasy because I am different country alone with all my gear I think the next venue might not be City Center is I usually don’t mind do doing like City Center stuff because I can people have conversations with me and that but obviously there’s going to be no conversation because I don’t know French we don’t catch now on to the next place I’m going to head towards Switzerland cuz I want to do a bit of bagging in Switzerland and then we’re going to come back into France and do loads of bagging but south of France though where it’s a bit warmer I feel like I should have there’s a just down the river maybe 100 m is a bit of a slacker bit of river that I probably should have fished instead but I’m not moving all the gear now I’ve caught a fish don’t believe it s pulling it back in this floor Lake look come off this is my first French fish well I uh guy said there was Bing here feels like a decent fish oh I he’s taking line off

    1. Hope u have not gave up mate loved watching your videos not seen any for a while hope u have not gave up and gone home just hope u have had a few days away and getting back to it tomoz

    2. I think he's unfortunately given up with the French adventure?! Unless, something has happened to his phone, etc?? He said he was having a massive wobble, so maybe he's had enough 😢

    3. Mate its a wobble your fine bloody enjoy it I would love to do what you are doing but have too many commitments at the moment. From one Barbel fisherman to another Please get on them rivers and get in the zone and give us some content. TightLines mate 🎣🚶

    4. Just found your channel, lucky me!
      Crack on, going home is what you know.
      This is safe, yet unknown, don't U turn home.
      If you like I can help a bit, spent ages fishing in France on real drive and survive adventures.

    5. Hi Adam mate where are not heard anything for 3 days so I'm wondering if you've turned back home it's fine don't worry bout it buddy let all of us know how you are 🤞👍

    6. Well Adam
      Hope you’re doing ok. It’s a bit worrying that you haven’t posted anything the last few days. Let everyone know how you’re doing mate.
      Good or bad there’s no shame in it. You’re doing great and it’s ok not to be ok.

    7. Why on earth were you fishing with such light tackle? That fish could have easily broken you off and been condemned to having a line and hook attached to it. In the local commercial fishery that I sometimes fish I regularly catch very skinny fish often with several lines or hooks attached to them.

    8. The french people are asking themselves the same thing : je ne sais pas si je peux continuer !!!! :D. It's just a trip, go fishing, use google translate and eat some good french food. Maybe you can catch more than a fish, i caught a french wife !

    9. Nah keep going fella you’ll love it when you get settled it’s just people go about their fishing differently than us over there but you’ll probably get asked asked again for some fish if you catch any so their can have em for their tea 😂

    10. Europe will never understand the concept of sportfishing and maintaining a decent fishery with regard to sportfishing. The US imported the brown trout from Europe, it has become a great sport fish for us. In Europe, for some reason they aren't interested in largemouth, smallmouth and spotted base. Crappie, shellcracker and bream or stripers. Muskie. And so, freshwater fishing is mainly rough fish as pike or boring carp. Some perch, hahaha. But it could be so much more.

    11. Yup, ..nice barbel 👍.

      ..Little advice, you could have started by saying 'bonjour' in the tackle shop 😊. And yes, the spoken word Google is a handy thing.

      Btw, I always buy a weekly permit (about 33, 34 euro) in France. If I go there it is mostly 2, ..sometimes three weeks a year. The third week is never a certain thing, so it's mostly cheaper for me to get some weekly permits than immideately buying a years permit.

      Buying weekly permits you got to be aware of buying one from a fishing club that is part of the interchangeble "club" (interdepartementale). It's the logo of France with a float across it. There are three different ones. This one has given me no problem if I was fishing on the border of two departments and fished all over those borders.
