Hi Fudgecat we are a little place called La Chaussee , Ciral , Lower Normandy. if you want more info have a look at www.genesis-carpfishery.com

Hi footpath when you say nothing on it do you mean completly blank? as there is a couple of pics on there and a write up of catches for the past week ? It maybe that we had only just added it so had not written anything on there at that time . Shall be adding more as the week go's by with whats been caught this week , I can say that we have had 3 carp out from 33 to 34 lbs so far.(plus others)

In the past 5 weeks since our opening this year we have had 24 anglers on the lake and we have also had some awful weather from frosts to plenty of rain, high winds and very cold. The fishing was very patchy to start , but now with the warmer weather things are improving day by day. 196 Carp have been banked with 107 from 10 lb to 20 lbs , 65 carp from 20 lbs to 30 lbs and 24 from 30 up to 37 lbs. Our best common to date came in at 37lbs and our lake record standing,a mirror at 38.5 lbs (so far)click on the link and see some of Genesis Carp from the past couple of yearshttp://photobucket.com/Genesislake

The knee has been done and I can tell you now " It dont arf urt" the doctor said it wouild be 300 € I said what about the tax he replied wont use tax we'll glue it on ,,,, ta da

Hi Kim Iain how are you 2 doing it has been good this year for us, met great people and had a few laughs on the way. It was a good lazy summer day wasn't it . I think one that has to be repeated. Lets hope next season is a special one for all of us. Hi Gaz well we'll have the quiet but plenty of work to do around the lake so no rest just yet , maybe I'll let Val have a day off sometime in late December

Well thats about it for us at Genesis lake for this season , with our last anglers leaving on the 8th October . As for the catches we've had during the past 7 months we have had 427 carp from 10 to 20 lbs ,545 20 to 25 lbs, 161 25 to 30 lbs and 58 30 to 38.11lbs banked .The year started with Darren , Alan, Pete and John back in April with an impressive (just under) 3 1/2 tons, the lions share going to Darren with 72 carp to mid thirties, that set a record. Another record was set during May with Gerard landing a 38 lb Mirror, well done that man. Things slowed a little in June/July with just 18 carp over 30 lbs being caught and 32 between 25 and 30 lbs . August was quiet with just two weeks booked and 8 anglers on the lake, still managed to bank 7 carp to the mid 30's 6 from 25 to 30lbs and 66 20 to 25's . September came with 5 to the mid 30's 22 to 25 /30lbs and 67 20 to 25 's. Now last year (2010) we had a German guy fishing the lake he then set a new record with a mirror carp of 36 lbs well he came again this year (same week) and done it again. 72 Carp 14 of which were over 30 and up to 38lb.11 oz we feel thats a great end to this season for us here at Genesis Lake , We would like to say well done to all those carp anglers who visited us and look forward to seeing you all again in the future. Best wishes to all from Eddy and Val ,,,O and Minyon the bivvy cat(mouser extraordinaire) A few pics of the Carp caught this year

MMM an holiday,,, forget what they are , the anglers here now will need one aswell, 35 fish in 48 hours to 32lbs . They actually banged out 4 carp (20 lbs to 25lbs) in fifteen minutes between them.

Your right Johnny R I stand corrected I forgot about the last few carp you had . The two fella's in your swim are catching well , 15 so far , to 29lb (watch this space ) we look forward to seeing you all again next year, be lucky

Our first week of opening ended yesterday (Sat 23) with 4 anglers doing the business, well done Daz, Alan, Pete and John. Between them they managed to haul out just over 1 and a half ton of carp to mid thirties. The lions share went ot Daz with 72 fish to 1501 lbs total wieght, followed by Pete with 36 fish for 803 lbs. Next up came Alan with 32 fish to 637 lbs and a pb Common at 28.10 well done that man.And last but not least came John, unfortunately only fished for 4 days but managed to catch carp to a total wieght of 414 lbs at 19 fish . that'll earn you guys four smiley faces well done we all had a great week

Have a good trip over and we shall see you Monday morning , will have the kettle on

Just a few from genesis during the summer 2010

Our biggest haul to date a massive 2,381 lbs of carp ( yes thats right 2381)between 6 anglers our biggest went 34.5 lbs 5 carp over the 30lbs , 50 upper twenties, 46 mid twenties , 44 upper doubles and numerous lower doubles.( with a few singles thrown in. Now I reckon thats a qood weeks fishin ,dont you? The weather for that week was reasonable not to much rain and wind but it did turn for a N/Easterly after around Thursday and the fish did go to ground a bit. And gues what ,,, we still have spaces left open

Some of the carp caught last summer at Genesis , although we had a slow start the guys did well with catches upto 1050 lbs for the week and many carp around the 30 lb mark ,the best being 33 lbs.

Hi If I was making baits I would source potassium sorbate, Ive tried nutrabaits and agree with whats been said it dont preserve for long and is quite costly.Potassium sorbate has been tested and tested till the cows come home and it's never been proved it was bad for animals or humans infact potassium is a type of salt and sorbate comes from the rowan berry.Many foods use them, anything thats not frozen and has pastry case. I dont know the volumes that bait companies would use but say 50 kilo's of bait would be something like a half kilo of potassium sorbate dont quote me on that though.But having said all that a frozen bait takes some beating, has a better smell then shelf lifes and I believe is more attractive to them carpio,s. By the way did you know potassium sorbate has been in use since 1900,,ish just thought I'd mention that
