hi pretty much like yourself only smaller we bought a 7 acre napoleonic lake with 22 acre woodland and meadow family owned and untouched for 37 years , i and my partner have fished any day we had spare for years and we did 2 years research before even looking for a lake , its taken 4 years to look find , buy and get the permissions for licence and validation touristique / camping a la ferme etc because we are in the national forest , we are now at the point of completing our first 5 week work session i took a digger a truck 2.8 kwh solar sysytem and about 20k worth of oyher equipment out and now have a working derigation new fish grills and other bits in place , we are aiming for a drain down in oct because the lake upriver burst its dam wall last month so we now have all his stock as well !!!! { 3 acre carp brochette gougeon etc } all these are wild carp which unless controlled gy predators will probably attain sizes of arround 10kg in the wild this can grow with food supply water condition etc , am hoping to return early may for the summer . { had to return to england busines probs lol } and it dosnt sound like were miles apart , maybe we should chuck some of my rods out and have a chat i or the contacts ive made may be of use to you and if your fish are like mine they dont know what food boilies or noise are as such usual tactics will produce few results , but i got enough tacle on site to keep 5 or six people h, appy for a week or two
funny how every day i took off work i fished for 5 years untill i bought a lake lol
