Latest news from Chapel…
Mirrors of 55.15 & 60.02 caught … & a 64.06 stocked
– all in 10days!
Angling Lines Chapel lake in central France has got off to a cracking start.
On 11th April, Kent angler Matt Gifford broke the lake record when he caught the mirror affectionately known as ‘Big Bob’ at 55lb 15oz. Caught in freezing fog at around 1.30 am, the fish fell to fishmeal boilies and was in perfect condition when landed on the ‘Oak Tree’ swim. Matt won 650 €uros – 150€ for breaking the lake record, and 500€ off his next fishing holiday on either Chapel Lake or it’s sister lake – Les Justices.
Then on 15th April the owner, Bob Williams, ‘upped’ the challenge by stocking a truly amazing fish in the shape of a 64lb 6oz gorgeous mirror carp. This fish, only 12 years old, is over 45 inches long and about a foot across the back. It’s carrying no spawn or gut and could easily go to 70 lb soon!
To complete the hectic few days on 22nd April angler Richard Price moved into ‘The Hollies’ swim and early Sunday morning broke the lake record again – this time with an unknown mirror of 60lb 2oz! He also picked up a 650 €uro prize. What a start – and this is only week 4!
The owner has confirmed he’s happy to continue with the 150€ prize offer for anyone who breaks the lake record plus an additional 500€ if you book again. Fancy a crack? To get in on the action call Angling Lines on 08712 004466 or visit www.anglinglines.com.
