[pasta1]

Hi all

been a while since I last posted,anyway back from my week at fabulous etang la planchette.Vince and Tina !!! what can I say ? there is nothing possible that they could have done to help us out,make us feel more welcome.the hospitality showed by Vince and Tina was second to none,the food was tremendous and plenty of it too(thanks tina).The fishing was fantastic,vince done all he could to put us on the fish,first week 87 fish landed,2nd week(our week)62 landed i think,but not fished solid,all our first time in france,all really enjoyed every aspect of the trip.

every fish that i saw landed,was a real stunning fish wether it was a low 20 or low to mid 30,34lb 8oz being the biggest that week.not massive i know for france,but i hear this week some larger carp have been landed so maybe just waking up.

Already booked for next year's trip,stunning carp,very helpful owner's and great food too.If I can work out how to upload pic's I will do soon.

thanks vince and tina.

hi mate

fishing superb caught some great fish and i was ther wen the 50+ ad 40+ were stocked wat a lump!

i recommend this fishery booked for two weeks next year.

[flyjack]

That common is a beast!would love to catch that.I want to try and get there for a week sometime.just got to save up and find some people to go with.It does look immense though.How hard was the fishing?

[pasta1]

too be honest it won't be difficult this year because it's a new lake not been fished until april this year.at the end of the season vince(owner) is going to assess all catch report's from this year.then restock accordingly with fish over 50lb.next year will probably be a little harder because this year's fish would have wised up a bit,but then you will have the restock fish that will not have been caught before. I have already booked for next year and so have a few other angler's.give the owner a ring and have a chat.

Just returned from Etang La Planchette and want to extend thanks to Vince & Tina for a very warm welcome and a very promising new fishing ground. Had some really good catches of 30lb plus and being well fed by Tina, what more can a fisherman ask for. Look forward to returning in 2010. Congratulations Vince and Tina on your first year and here's wishing you a very successful 2010.

thanks and congratulations to vince&tina on a very successful 1st year at la planchette,2nd time out this year not as productive as april but didnt expect it to be,conditions was against us(no rain in 10 weeks and 27 degrees in sept/oct ) lake record mirror banked by neil,chriss done his pb mirror, I done pb mirror and common so although not a lot of fish banked all left happy and booked nxt year,cant wait hopefully sicknote will put the weight back on and i will catch it again.
