Well done mate, picking a hard lake on a france trip takes some balls, knowing you could well blank. I enjoyed the video, unlucky for not catching but I'm sure you'll be itching to get back and catch a chunk from a lake in france soon. Tight lines fellow Stokie 👍

Thanks mate it was a tough week but we knew it was going be a challenge. That’s what I wanted rather than a runs water 👍🏼 when you next out?

Tips for abbey - hemp and corn with plastic corn …. Keep it simple and to stand a good chance of catching on any of the lakes with the amount of weed and bars, little holes to drop into (hire a boat) navigator boats. The dogs bollocks … find the spots perfectly … never had less than 10 in a week each and my pb still stands at 53.02lb One big edge and a must for Abbey in my opinion along with the bailiff (Dave) - gone now, but use braided mainline. With the amount of weed on all lakes and we’ve fished them all, I wouldn’t dream of mono/fluoro - next trip in August/September and going to smash it!!

Yeah it’s definitely a challenging water! Good luck - I like the look of Heron, the week I was there all the fish were down the bottom end by the island. Guys were smashing it up

You gave it a good go mate 👍 thanks for sharing tight lines

Good video mate. Unfortunate that the only proper bite you got was the one on your fod of a mozzy 😂. Your blanking streak will soon end, keep to it 🎣

Absolutely fine mate - we took loads in the car no problems whatsoever 👍🏼 good luck on your trip 🎣🐳

That's great to know about arriving the Friday. We are booked up and had the same plan arrive early hours Saturday morning and wait . How did the whole lake perform or did it seem quiet all the way round ?

Thanks for watching mate I appreciate the comment too. There were a couple of pegs that caught multiple fish. Peg 1 and peg 8 but everywhere else was difficult. I think 8 out of the 13 blanked so definitely not easy but still an enjoyable holiday. Tight lines buddy and good luck 🎣

Top effort mate. Shame on your blank, but at least your mate had a couple gooduns fir the video

What was the cost for the week eg fuel ferry tolls fishing

@SpecialistBlanker

8 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching Andrew - we went on the Euro tunnel which was £133 each which includes a return. Fuel we spent about £120 all in. That’s travelling from Stoke to the venue. Tolls were £25 each way. Fishing and then bait & food I reckon it was about £850 all in 👍🏼

I think that peg draw system is poor. Should be drawn on the first day of your booked session once all parties are there. Having people turn up 24 hours early is rubbish.
