I used Manila and krill they both catch fish now and again but so do cheesy wotsits I was using mainline with a fair bit of success then went to sticky catch rate dropped and back on mainline baits again.

Gabby Agbonlahor has revealed that he's been wearing a t-shirt under his top ever since his last goal and will show it off next time he scores. It says "Free Nelson Mandela" -

Let's all laugh at villa -
Love mine can't fault them had them few years now

If you get overnight ferry to Caen it's only about 2hrs from Caen but boat takes 9hrs from Calais it about 4-5hr drive
-
I can second that having been twice not sure about a short drive tho but not to big of a lake with some decent fish the food package is a must and saves on space time and effort doing it yourself Gets booked up very quickly so if your interested get In touch with Kim soon
-
I have fished Cromwell for last 2yrs brilliant 5* fishery well kept,cracking fish with a few 40's and lots of 20's and 30's ring the night before you go tho it gets very busy
-
I have used drennan 12lb double strength with simple knotless knot on many occasions and can't say I can remember it ever letting me down,even with fish upto 34lb in extremely weedy water I will say that if I use mono its the only mono I use for simple carp rigs I have used the 8lb double strength on waters with the average stamp of fish 14-15lb and never had problems with that either
-
I will say the few hours sleep helped because when we got to the lake via caen I was raring to go but when travelled through the night and then having to make a 5 hr trip take 10 hrs we was hardly raring to go and all I wanted to do was sleep
-
don't forget breathalysers high viz jackets and red triangle and all your insurance documents. btw best of luck sleeping on the ferry if you get the same cabin we had
-
I can say I have been via Calais and via caen,the caen route much shorter to drive but more expensive with over night ferry and in the end its longer because of overnight ferry which takes about 9hrs but gets in about 7ish and its only 2hr ish from there. much cheaper and quicker on the tunnel
-
Lovely place I'm sure you will enjoy you don't need anything different than what you would over here just maybe some size 2/4 hooks for bigger baits Speak to Ian on FB he will put you right

-
i can tell you it takes 21hours in a big red bus
-
Rushes would ideal but is 4-5h from Calais but only 2.5h from caen
-
a big red bus is what you need
-
have a word with mrrusheslake (kim) small room next to toilet and anglers room with sky tv and comfy sofa's also if you booked bluecamp swim your misses could shout you easily,no cooking either the food package is nice and plentyfull think the room only cost about just over £100 for a week,but ask kim to be sure
-
Having caught all sizes of carp upto 41 I have over the years come to a conclusion based on fact 95% of the fish I have ever caught above 5lb get more mouth damage with barbless hooks than they do with barbed hooks,FACT

You should have a good one with them dates
-
What dates are you going?
-
Carl, just put in perfection loop in google.

I have done both trips to rushes one via Portsmouth to Caen that cost us about £400 in a van and we he'd to book a cabin as well.also 9hrs on the ferry so it doesn't save any time or expense,much better to go via euro tunnel and do the drive
-
I just use a bit of braid, Ian. Put the bait on like a normal hair stop and then tie the tag ends to your rig ring.There are a few products out now with bait screws and spikes designed for chod rigs.
-
Euro tunnel very good quick and cheap
