and will try and get another trip in if possible.??

ebro for a few days in feb wouldnt mind heading back to morroco for a week(i wont forget the imodium this time)

I dont know yet.... anyone any suggestions for somewhere close to Calais and the possibility of beating my PB of 44lb.

Also i think i might go onmy own this year to have a peaceful holiday so i need to be able to book a swim and not the lake.

Anyone ever fish the public waters? I really want to wet my lines at chantecoq

From Calais you may as well travel a few hours down to the Champagne region, 300+ lakes, anything from puddles stocked yesterday to the Lac du Der, depending on what floats your boat...............and how you class a 40.

It will cost you €220 for a swim on chanty for the week.Better off hitting one less known public waters or if you have a couple of weeks to spare hit the orient.

AJ I would love to spend 2 weeks on the orient rocking back a forth, didnt realise that the ticket for chantecoq was so expensive.

usually the way i do this is when the needle on the dial goes over 40lb - the weight of the sling. How do you class a 40?



Damo the 44 pb was from a commerical french fishery somthing similar to Maynooth so i would be looking for somthing that gives me a chance. When i say close to Calias i mean within 5 hours drive of the ports.

AJ, yourself and Gordon had some luvly looking frenchies this summer, would recommend Moulin Rouge?

I think there is a little more achiement when its not stocked a few weeks before you plonk a boilie in the water, much rather a river 30 to be honest.

Doin Margot at the start of April, CANT WAIT!!

I didnt know there was Tench in there for ya Rory.......................

Wildone, if your looking for an old estate lake with a decent stamp of fish and a few 50's in beautiful relaxed surroundings then absolutely! stunning water and the lads are sound. GG.

Gordon that sounds great.... is Moulin Rouge the correct name or did you just go off for a dirty weekend?

Damo I have to work hard (and enjoy it) for what fish i catch here in Ireland, its nice to not have to work so hard when you go on holiday. Did you not get away yourself this year to commerical fishery? do you not enjoy getting away with a decent chance of catching a 30lb + fish from a commerical fishery?

We are in Ireland and in the majority of our waters we have to work hard for a 12lb carp so i think we are entitled to a bit of self indulgence once a year for a week. I am under no illusion that i was fishing a commerical, so what?

But on the other hand I still want to hit a few french public waters before my mortal coil is servered and catch few 5lbers or 50lbers as thats a personal goal.

What ya mean Damo?
Your sayin theres no tench in Margot???? NOOOOOOOO!!

I have just been informed by herself that I must go to spain for a week in may on a sun holiday
" Since you are going away twice fishing this summer you must come to Spain "
Then in the same sentence she tells me there is Carp and Cat fishing there

ye i looked into that before alicante is it tom carp n barbel around there

just like rubbing salt in a wound tom, she has to let you take the rods now.

im off to france in april, first time going so im really looking forward to it. not aiming too high either, i'd be happy enough just to beat my p.b 21.8, so anything bigger will be a bonus. (casenlac)

Paul all you have to do is find out enought info on the lake, pass it on to me so i can clean it out the weekafter you.

no worries bro you dont know if anyones going the week before us do ya? didn't think so, what a Ba&+ard we're the guinea pigs.

Better we are the first two groups of the season on it - which I think we could well be - than the two last.. GG.

too right G.G., whatever the case it'll be good to just get away from it all. the new edition to the family is driving me up the wall.
