flashgordon1952 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 this small lakes complex appears to have it all. situated 3 hours or less from Le Havre "runs waters" french style carp to 40lbs in most lakes. several lakes have cats to 80lbs.also blue sturgeon and grass carp , all these lakes are basically large ponds the smallest is about an acre or so and you have the lake or lakes to yourselves. they can handle a family of four in one lake normally its two anglers on the other lakes and 3 at a stretch.....note unlike most french lakes there are cabins or caravans to sleep in but offcourse yu can take a shelter . no need for a bait boat as yu have your own "boat" in every lake... run by englishman living on-site.. fishing in late june and with luck get a PB there also.... as my own is only 24lbs dont think that be a problem Quote
brutalbaz Posted May 3, 2012 Report Posted May 3, 2012 which lake you on i will be on poplars last week in june by the way cats go 120 Quote
flashgordon1952 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Posted May 23, 2012 we arrive on saturday 30th june. for one week. I been told this runs water is pretty good (by uk standards) carp to 40lbs. and eagle has some good cats to about 60+. The only thing not looking forward is the night boat to le havre and it does not arrive until about 9am . we probably have a breakfast on the way but are going the coast route as it is cheaper and anyway we dont need to get there before 1pm..
