| Re: late summer trip to france What a disaster this trip was .First of all the journey to Dover took 8 hrs , Then the ferry was late . Arrived at the lake at 1am in the morning . got to swim to find out a irate Frenchman was on it , and was told we could not fish till sun ,So we fished a different swim sat /sun morn, Went to original swim ,still an irate Frenchman who was very drunk, so ended up with a mass shouting match in my broken French , Eventually got set up when he left to return to his home town . Sun night warm , mon /tues am storm big time .camera got soaked no fish , Tues Amanda had a 23lb carp wed no fish thurs 5 fish between us ,biggest 30lb Fri more fish Biggest was mine at 35lb I ended up with 9 and Amanda 3 fish so at the end it turned out ok Amount of bait used was 150 kg partiblend /maize Hemp and about 50 kg of boilies for 6 rods Yesterday i received a phone call from the lake owner offering us a free week in November |
