carpin in france

[Russell Fitzpatrick]

hi all,

 

been off here for a bit,but i am back from my trip to etang de margo,in angers north west france,

 

what a week,my first trip abroad at the age of 25(!),i went with 3 fen boys,we all caught several twenty pound fish each,and some other suprises in teh shape of a 45lb sturgeaon to my mate rob and he had two 20+ grass carp!

 

i had 3 twentys,2 commons and a mirror to a new personal best of 25lb and a cracking 14+koi

 

we was boating our rigs and baiting by boat,i didnt do too bad for a predator angler!

 

enjoy the pics

nice one fella

what bait did you use

 

[Russell Fitzpatrick]

mainly tiger nuts,few fish on hard boilies,crab specials from quest baits,baited up with hemp,all sizes of pellet,maize,and small amounts of tigers,and boilies.

 

poisson chat(small ctafish with teeth!) are a right pain whittling baits down..not the tigers tho!
