Hi all,

 

Can anyone give me any feedback and advice on fishing etang marolles. French virgin so not sure what to expect(well hopfully big carp).

Have done a bit of searching through the forum, best advice I can give is to pm a member called chinky who appears to have gone to Marolles on more than one occassion.

Think he might be able to help you.

just listen to what David tells you on your walk around he knows the place more than anyone

[smudge75]

sounds like you have been before. is it good?

[carpfishingmayenne]

yes mate before i got my little place

David and Caroline are a lovely couple – very welcoming

Beautiful setting good facilities food is great

Lake is well set out with a good choice of swims and dave is very helpful with advice and his own made bait definitely helped me catch more fish

dont worry about French virgin just go and enjoy the place

it's one of the best stocked lakes in the mayneen with 50's and a lot of 40's also there is 4/5 stock ponds with around 100 fish in each upto mid 20lbs

How did you get on Smudge

 

A whacker or two ?

 

Or cheque book and pen ?

Hey Chinky,

 

I leave on Friday.

How much cash do you reckon i will need for bait(buying it there)?

I will let you know how i get on as soon as i get back.
