No way............Super to see Franks Common reaching the magical 50 bracket.........Is there any other fish there dan that may be 55lb that has not seen the bank for a while....

Starburst not been out since last aug and was 50.1lbs then, stumpy hit 47lbs last year and has not been out yet, there`s about 5 or 6 of the known 40`s not been out yet, just waiting for a bit of heat to get them going, been raining and cold for the last three weeks and rain forecast for the next two weeks, 20mm again tomorrow

No sign of the mohican Dan?

No been two years now. Think he's gone. Real pity one of the best looking carp I ever caught

Wasn't caught easily anyway

Ah maybe she'll do a celebrity guest appearance. Think I might try do a trip over next yr fella, those fish starting to get the juices flowing. That fork barb looks pretty awesome at 50 plus

Your more then welcome scott. Yes few nice fish in here now and some really nice ones coming through.

Well done Alan.......delighted for you any more fish

not a bad week this week compared to other`s recently, it`s been very hot here the last 3 or 4 weeks and the fish just knocked off. last sunday it poured all day and we had 4 x 40lbs out that day and the next morning, the king arrived on Monday and on his second morning had a 43.10lbs, not to be out done i put him back in his place with franks common at 46.2lbs the next morning. Al there`s only one carpking on Brigueuil.

this is why i use two nets at all times, double run 44.2lbs and a 45.10lbs


First part of the brace 44.2lbs


And the second part of the brace 45.10lbs

And the other to 40lbs plus where caught by young Florian (forth time visitor to brigueuil) this one was 40.2lbs


And this one was 48.14lbs. the parrot looking great, got to go 50lbs soon. well done Florian on two PB`s

Hats off Dan really enjoyed the few days on Bruiguiel, just sorry i didn't have more time, thanks for all the advice and tips and for coming round when that lump showed up in me landing net, i was some what in a daze lol and found it all a bit too much, had to give me head a wobble, you dream about holding fish like that but when that day arrives just out of the blue, it caught me unawares i can tell you i was very emotional, a special moment , and a special fish... and to think frank was sniffing around right under my nose lol i just can't wait to get back ... top bloke Dan , Again thanks for everything

fantastic fishing lads ,some haul of fish over 40lbs.outstanding.

cheers al was nice to see you over, might see you next year in the area.
