carpoholic Posted March 10, 2007 Report Posted March 10, 2007 I think this is the lake you are talking about http://www.dreambreaks.info/venue.php?openTo=breaks&break=france&venue=etang_de_pierre I know Shaun Harrison of Quest baits went out there during the autumn. Try emailing him. Quote
christhornton Posted March 10, 2007 Report Posted March 10, 2007 You can get a dvd called spirit of the carp. It is set on that water with five mates fishing it as a mini match. Lee Jackson, Pete Castle, Nick Helleur, Mark Hutchinson and Simeon Bond. It a great dvd which really captures the feeling and atmosphere. All info and prices are on Dreambreaks web site. Quote
grubby Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 Have been there twice and found it first class............that was before 'Dream Breaks' stuck their beak in. It was possible to book it thro' a guy who was local to me. Lot cheaper then. Once the fact of how good it was got out, the big guns take on the booking and up goes the price. I would still recommend it tho'....even tho the catches have gone down abit. I know of two anglers that on different occasions caught 40+ fish (not 40+ pounders.......over 40 fish). I caught fish over 40lbs in weight both times I went. Saw a 50+ lb common. There a fish in excess of 60lbs that get caught. This is their original web site. http://www.bigfrenchcarp.com/ Quote
christhornton Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 I know what you mean about the big guns getting there hands on it. Seems like lots of the french lakes are now being taken over by big companies. It was great to look around the old site and it seems from your experience it is as good as it looked on the spirit dvd.

rogermellie Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 was out there in september 07, loads of lines, spods, markers hanging of the islands. lots of lost fish due to underwater snags, fish tethered to the snags, lots of floating weed that drifts around the lake an makes area,s unfishable, fish starting to look tatty due to over use of tiger nut, partical fishing, fantastic lake and fish being raped for a quick buck Quote
pauline59 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 I know what you mean about the big guns getting there hands on it. Seems like lots of the french lakes are now being taken over by big companies. Not quite true Chris, the lakes that need support are seeking it from the bigger advertising agents, they are not being taken over by the big guns, there are no big guns!! The successful family run venue in France continues to operate on it's own and with no need of any support from any guns let alone big ones!! Quote
