  4. yes have done a bit of research looks a decent water but without a chance of getting on unless you know the regulars by the looks of it
  5. is anyone a member or know anything about the place?
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. Looks a belting place for a social at a decent price
  9. Have you tried somewhere like anglers paradise I stayed at rookley country park on the I O W few years back in chalet 6 the pond was just the other side of the patio door so was great to do stuff in the day and still do a bit of fishing in the evening, the specimen lake is 1min walk away but that had to be booked I did 3 nights on there but only managed to lose 1 stalking, the misses stayed in the chalet but spent the evenings drinking wine with me Both lakes are small but well looked after and some stunners in specimen lake I enjoyed the week and was able to combine fishing and time with misses Swimming pool and other stuff for your son to do aswell
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. Try merrington mate we have just done a social on there and 9 of the 12 fish that came out were over 20lb not easy but not too hard either.
  15. It all depends what you want mate, its very busy, heavily stocked and over fished. There are better places, where you from?
  16. i can tell you it takes 21hours in a big red bus
  17. Rushes would ideal but is 4-5h from Calais but only 2.5h from caen
  18. a big red bus is what you need
  19. You could also try Blythe waters or lavender hall days only at Blythe but lavender is 24h
  20. They are both good places for a novice to learn
