You could save 8% fuel though 😀

It is quite a trek though for you ,that's almost going to France distance

It would cost a small fortune in my ford focus 😂

All the best though, hopefully you all have some cracking fish 👌

Hi Ian, 

 

We have decided on Ashmire. Link above.

Sadly, due to the lack of interest a smaller venue. 

Looks to be well stocked,reasonably priced and we can all nip back to Elmo's for a shower🙂

@chillfactor & myself fancy 3 nights. As above etc. Also the lucky so & so is off to Europe on Friday.  We are hoping to get this booked, deposit etc sorted before then . So we can confirm you and your son? 

Would you want to stay on for the Sunday night too?

Glad you responded pal.

Ashmire looks great to me. Who do I pay? I'd be up for 3 nights, too.

Ian.

OK great.

So you & your son, for 3 nights 

@Elmoputney can firm up the numbers with the fishery & hopefully we can pay directly  

[welder]

Just let me know please, Leon. 

I shall look forward to comparing the aches and ailments of maturity with Elmo.

Oh, and a bit of fishing.

Ian.

[chillfactor]

Serious about blanking.... not about selling the kit

A mate went to France last year, on Cassien, did 2 weeks and ended up with a mid 20 Grass Carp on the last night.....another mate going France on 13th April to Bill's Lake.

There alot of people magnet fishing now around d the canals and I've seen em in my park lake trying it out.

The weather was against us tbh mate & its known as a tricky lake.  

I came away actually not to disheartened as I felt I actually read the lake & conditions well . There was a pressure change due Thursday Dropping down from 1022 to 1009 , so I put all 3 rods on a spot & felt sure I would get a chance to save the blank & bank a proper unit .

The change came late afternoon Thursday still no sign of feeding fish! I  was up before light on the Friday ( last day )  & sure enough there were on it crashing all over me felt sure I was going to get a take at any point .... bobbins were dancing with liners , but never got a pick up 🙈 , they had decided to feed an hour or so before the pressure started to rise again as soon as it did they shut up shop & with that my chance had gone . That's fishing eh .

Yes mate still enjoyed the week 👍 

Journey not so much with the French riots etc meant a pretty big detour to avoid it all .
