brigueuil catch reports

Yerrah, you're just getting the swim ready for the last few days. The biggies will be moving in today onwards. All our bigger fish in Swim 10 came late on in the week. Keep the chins up, things will start to pick up from now on. Tight lines lads!

Can we get a like button on this forum? good work lads jammy fecker gota a 40 well done, be there as soon as I take my bream n tench blinkers off, Tinca Tinca.. all they way

Still a bit slow here although my straight out rod got some action yesterday in the form of my best so far at 30.11 and last night around 9 I had a run and hooked then lost the fish. It didn't feel big but it was just one of those occasions when you know it's gonna come off! Same rod went again at 11:40pm and I landed a 27.12. I thought it was kicking off but alas nothing else happened on that rod. I did get a drop back this morn on the right hand pod rod but nothing when I struck, possibly mr bream as I've had 2 on that rod. Peter is back playing the waiting game but you know him. He'll pick up another clonker by Saturday. Still 2 nights left so I hope this is wetting the appetites for some of you French bound gents. Get the gear sorted out and the blood flowing!!!

Morning Rory........what's the weather like over there at the moment???? How are the other anglers doing???
Tight lines Glen

Wet and wetter!! Had temps up in the 20's on sat with loads of sunshine , 14 hours of rain on Sunday then Monday went like Saturday. Since then it's been grey skies and constant showers. Tomor and sat are lookin good for packing up. Sun and temps into the 20's again.

Peter has had 3 runs 3 fish. A 20,a 30 and a 40.11. I've had 10 fish. a 13, 19.15, 23.10, 26.6, 27.12, 27.14, 29.2, 30.11, 32.2 and a 46.6. Hopefully we go out on a high with another run or 2 before we leave. At least were goin home with a colour as today was scorching. I think dans had 4. I know he had a 35 and a 40+ fish.

Tight lines tonight to yourself and Peter may u have a sleepless night!!!
And a safe journey home.....

Any news on the end result?

A few out last nite and as I was packing I had franks common. I'll do the details in a few days. New pb common and mirror. Peter had 4 to 40.11. I had 12 or 13 to 46.6.

Well done lads!congrats on the 2 new pb's Rory.what weight was franks common out at?

oh that sounds familiar. 2 pbs. well done fella, great news

painfully franks common was out at 41.6lbs to rory she was out earlier in the week at 42lbs on swim 11 and last week she was out at 43lbs also on swim 11. bit of a fall from grace from three weeks ago when she was claimed at 50lbs, possible a school boy error in weighing . but i can`t really comment as i was not around. on the plus side the holiday for the first 50lbs is still up for grabs as the weight has to be verified,
apart from that we had a good week, i had 4 fish 16lbs 31lbs 34.12lbs and half moon at 40.12lbs which i was happy enough with as i spent most of the week socialising with rory and peter. swim 8 done a 26 fish to mitchel and nicole, best been a 45lbs. Jan and Germ had 17 fish between them best was franks common at 42lbs. jean luc on swim 2 had 5 fish for 4 nights on swim 2 best was 44.8lbs. i don`t know what fish it was as he still in the stone age and doesn`t have a digital camera, a bit like peter !!! so i`ll have to wait til he gets the photos developed.
in other good news starburst was out the week before last at 48.8lbs, by the same guys that had franks common at 43lbs.

Heres some of the pictures from our week away...


Peter with a 32 and me with a 26..2 takes within seconds of each other!!

But then Peter goes and gets this..The Grey Mirror at 41.11...


we had a good few of these mid to high 20`s


and some 30`s for good measure


Then I got stumpy at 46.6 and a new PB...perfect


Then this came on the friday morning as the temps got really hot...I was hoping to get this fish at some stage as i think the shape has to be seen to be believed..Bucket belly at 32.2


...and at the final hour as we were packing up along comes Franks common and a new PB common too at 41.6


I just have to put this one up of her as it was so hot that morning and I wanted a water shot too


I did get a few more pics to post and I`m sure dan will be posting them on the site as soon as I mail them to him. I have some more of Peters other fish too and i`ll get round to putting them up when I upload them to the host site.

As always Andy, Tracey and Dan were the best possible hosts and everything was top notch as per usual and anyone thinking of heading away to France wont go far wrong by fishing here..truely honest opinion.

The next Irish lads heading there...ooohhh I wish I was going again too!! HAPPY DAYS AT BRIGUEUIL!!!

Some crackers there Rory That Franks Common is a very nice fish indeed......love the big Commons

Lovely stuff rory,nice pics,i dont know if theres any other irish trip planned before myself and paul k in may.If there isnt i hope you left the lucky-key to the swim under the mat....6 Weeks

If your on swim 10 Mike I did take a panoramic shot of the swim and can point out the horizon marks that we had fish from. I dont know if will be any good tho as the lillies will more than likely be up and be better features to hit when your there.
