been very quiet on that front eh

Lac de Grosley

Just got home this morning lads was a good trip for some and not for others. it was hard fishing at best of times.
I had 4 fish for the week , coi carp 16lb 8oz , a 31lb 4oz mirror, 32lb 4oz mirror, 14lb mirror.
Think we had 24 carp,
and 1 sturgen that came out a few times.
will post pics later.

was slow the small lake didnt really produce although wayne had the koi and the two thirtties from it

I ended with 8 fish and a couple of bream

15lb ? mirror
16.8lb common
17,6lb mirrior
18lb mirror
18,2lb mirror
18,8lb mirror
21lb mirror
28lb mirror

nice guy who runs it - just bad winds - wrong direction and cold weather.
cheers to the lads - was a good laugh

where they all caught in that order ben

nice one lads was the sturgen any size?

12lb and it was out 5 times in the week...

Lads lets face it, it was a very bad trip
I know it was the first time for a few of ye but I have been a few times and that was by far the worst trip ever.
We arrived late to the lake on the saturday night to find the gate locked so we had to sleep in the cars untill the morning.
The Quest bait didn't turn up till the monday morning.
Ben had the same 18lb fish twice
The sturgen came out 5 times, twice to mikeb and 3 times to Dave, so there was realy only a few fish out from it.
The lake with the bigger fish had a few big ones, I think a 41 was the biggest during the week but most fish seemed aroud 15 to 20 lb .
I could not say a bad thing about the owner or the lads we fished with but OOoooo am I glad to be home.

I think its safe to say that its fishing very slow over there at the moment, seems the big fish are on the munch, but bagging up seems to tough, Ive spoken to a few lads in the UK that have had recent trips over.
The bigger waters are by far the slowest to kick off.

I think untill the weather heats up/if it heats up things are gonna be slow all round. We had the hot spell in april last year and a few of the french trips went well..things are very different this time round. Any one know where to get a weather forecast for next year??

Sorry to hear the trip wasnt great, but hey there is always next year...

sorry to hear trip wasnt as good as hoped lads
its all about a bit of luck..
dont matter how good an angler you are..
still nice to get away though
thers always the next trip

Many thanks to the lads on the Grosley trip for making it so enjoyable, apart from having had to sleep in the van for the fisrt night and the shortage of carp I did enjoy it . A special thanks to Tom for organising the trip and to Dave who organised the ferries.

yeah thanks to dave for ferry and all for laughing at me trying to find my keys when we got back
cheers tom

it was good crack though - f**king weather
can't change the wind unless you fart hard enough though

and a few pb's were beaten
