Brigueuil special offer 2012

Hi guy's,

thanks for all your help and support over the years that Dan has been here, we really appreciate it. With Dan's help we really feel that we are making some serious progress. We have removed a lot of smaller fish with the help of Davey, Lee and Anto towards the end of the season and moved them to our newly acquired stock pond. This year we have seen two of our fish push over the 50lb mark and also this week Frank's common came out at 49lb 2oz (verified this time).It is great to see so many familiar faces coming back year after year. We have noticed that the price that you guy's have paid for the flights this year have exceeded that of previous years. We accept that for a lot of you it can be an expensive holiday with the flights, tackle hire, food and bait. Because of this we have decided to do it in the form of a package. If you decide to fly in with tackle hire food and bait then we will do it for an all in price of 475 euros, this will include pick up form Limoges airport all your tackle apart from your bite alarms, reels, terminal tackle and sleeping bag (sleeping bag due to hygiene reasons) 10 kilo's of Darenth Valley Baits and your normal three meals a day. If you want to book dates for next year we will require 50% deposit as usual and the remainder of the balance 8 weeks before arrival. If you are interested please contact us, there is already limited availability for March and April. At this moment in time this special offer applies for 2012. On another note Dan seems to be having a great time in Thailand but we have only seen pictures of fish!!! LOL.

Hi Andy and Tacey.......that's a great deal fair play.....

Thanks for another great trip. Dan, Tracey and Andy, cant wait till next year...

Can anyone tell me who they fly with for their brigueuill trips? Am looking at bookinv a trip and would welcome any advice. Thanks guy

flights are with ryanair, you have to book 2 seperate flights, 1 from ireland to london stansted, then second is stansted to limoges. you have a short swap over in stansted usually between 2-3 hours. there are other airports nearby so just check with tracey and about the possibilty of collecting you from one of the other airports nearby. but the flights above work out best time wise as you arrive at the lake around 1pm so you will be fishing by around 5. hope that helps

Cheers trigger thank you

Booked for 14/04/12 and cant wait. Anyone else going?

Hi mate I would say a safe bet is 12 to 15kilos.......what's the bait going in at the moment???? Give Andy or Tracey a buzz or email to see what stock that they have on site...... Plus passports is a must

10 kg will do u for the week

10-12 kg for the week.I think Dan had sticky baits bloodworm but not a lot of it.Two guys from holland were cleaning up on Cell in swim 6 last year. Dont rely on the bait being on site ,take it with you if your driving,or order it to be there.You wont need much particle,and 5 kg of pellet will do the trick.

Thanks guys. Passport noted dub! Lol i think twe get 10kg included in the booking of darneth vally baits so will prob order another 5 kg or so. We are flying over so very much limited to what we can bring. Will drop dan an email and get his advice. Have to carry reels, end tackle and sleeping bag oh and alarms and indicators too so space will be tight. Anyone flown over before?? If so anything you wish you had brought and what all is provided such as cooking equipme nt etc? Cant wait now literally counting the days!

book on sports equipment i think it cost 25 euro for a bag what ever size or weight it is might be handy as the sleeping bag takes up most of your allowance

Cooking equipment will be there waiting for u mate.......it's not to best but will do the job make sure there is spare bottles for gas in stock......
Regarding Alarms make sure u take the batteries out and the reciever.....
Tight lines mate.........hope u full your boots

if u got the food package u will be all right plus they go to the shops daily and can pick up what u need as for bait i used the n-tice last time top bait u can get leads of dan in the shop that will help with the weight in your bag. dan will bring u to the supermarket when u get there so leave the toiletries u can get them there more room for tackle.your spools with line will have to go in your check in bag reels and alarms can go on the plain with u weigh your bag cos swine air will do u big time if over sports equipment can cost up to 40 yoyos each way with 2 flights not cheap

That's that in a nut shell mate......

Going the 14th of April myself and two mates just wondering the best hooks and rigs to use ??
