A big well done to them as they had a great first week ever on brigueuil and indeed first week ever in france, Daniel in swim 6 managed 22 fish 10 x 20`s to 29.4 8 x 30`s to 38.15lbs and 3 x 40`s to 47lbs. Adam in swim 7 had 21 fish 10 x 20`s to 28.8lbs 5 x 30`s to 34.8lbs and 4 x 40`s to 48.8lbs and their friend in swim 8 Ben had a bit of a harder week with 13 with the biggest been only 20lbs, i`m sure his trip home felt longer then his mates.
also this week jean paul had 7 fish best been a 38.8lbs 40.2lbs and a 43lbs, i don`t know what fish they where as he decided not to photo them.
Anto managed 8 fsih in swim 11 the biggest was 22lbs. (the bigger fish just did not want to be in the shallow swim this week)
and with all this going on i was stuck in swim 9 for the week and only managed to land 1 fish from 4 runs and that was a 34.8lbs

Fish are in super condition Dan................Well done...................Will Cut-tail be the frist to reach 50lb
Where the 2 brothers fishing peg 10???

they where in swims 6 and 7.
cut tail might do it but i`m very happy with the one that went 48.8lbs she put on 8.4lbs in 6 months and she`s only a pound and a half away. we also had another new 40 out last week.

here she is back in the first week in april at 40.4lbs (white face)

We could be looking at two deffo 50s fairly soon.But there all class fish Dan.

3 x 40`s this week

brian with stumpy at 46.2lbs her best weight ever


starburst at 47lbs also her best weight

the other 40 was frank`s common at 40.4lbs caught by Aido. we also had 10 x 30`s to 38.4lbs between 5 anglers

pics to follow

Well done to one and all.. That franks common is a eating machine I had it back it Apirl at 35lb.....I think it's being out an every trip"Mug Fish"....Any sign of the "Big Common"
Good angling lads......ps Was it cold over there

Franks Common 44lb

Fish of the month contender i think

Nice one lad.......Top Rod.......Cracker
plus Well done on the new record...Happy days

Good goin lads.what a lake.Exellent looking fish.

as promised ....finally got my hands on this photo`s white face at 48.8lbs back in sept. good chance she`s over 50lbs at the minute

Nice fish dan....I have not seen many pics with that fish.....

she`s not out that much apart from last year ,where she was out 4 times. she was only out twice in 08. i had her once at 35lbs and i don`t think she was caught at all in 09.

finally we have our 50lbs, franks common at 22.7kgs which works out at about half an ounce over 50lbs. with the rate this one grows i would not like to guess what she`ll be by the end of the year. the parrot was out this week up in weight at 45lbs also and grumpy was out at 43.4lbs up in weight, should be a good year.



franks common back in june of 09 at 28.8lbs she only went in three weeks before at 26.14lbs from franks lake, bit of a difference !!!

Wow..........great news...........!!!!!
Swim 10 Dan???

Great to see her hit 50 dan. hopefully she will keep puting on the weight and give many a angler there pb.s over the next few years.

Nice one dan. Roll on August.....

Great news Dan.Certainly wont be the last this year.Looks like swim 9?. or maybe the chalet...Be there in 10 weeks.
