Fished Steady
By Jezz and Gill Bailey on
Fished steady until Tuesday, then the lake switched off - but that's carp fishing for you. Martin and Shirley and new friends Peter and Debbie are absolutely fantastic. The area needs rain, then the lake should switch back on. We found La Pause bar restaurant in Chateau-Gontier (20 mins) is great for a 4 course meal with wine and bread for Euro 12.60.
9 fish caught: 1 x 42, 1 x 37, 4 x 20s, 1 x ghostie, 1 x grassie and 1 pike.
Fishing tactics: fished from the far bank behind the island. All fish came on Coconut Crunch boilies on beds of pellet, hemp and parti-mix.
Owners Note: A huge thank you to dear friends Pete and Debbie Wright, who looked after things so that we could attend our daughter's wedding xxx
