For Roy van goor…  following on a great response from a message answered on 28th March, just wondering how your session went on Laroussi, and if you’ve any extra advise.

Laroussi - 15 acres with carp to 75lb

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your kind words regarding the answer to your previous question.. Well my session was a very good one weight wise,but the numbers of fish was low;

I had 7 takes resulting in 5 fish landed 2 of those where small commons..17 and 18 lb. The mirrors where slightly bigger.. ☺ 40,7 lb…45,7 lb and ☺ whopping 57 lb..( new p.b)


In total 12 fish where landed between 7 anglers, so that’s not too good.  

My 45.07 from Laroussi

Fish where waiting for better weather to spawn. Most fish where just cruising in the top layers of Laroussi.  

A lot fish where in front of “Le Saule” swim. My friend who was on that peg landed 4 carp and 1 sturgeon Carp up to 33 lb, and a 64 lb sturgeon.

What I noticed was that other anglers tend to put too much bait in the 1st days… what’s in you cant take out!  If the fish aren’t feeding then a lot of bait will be left untouched and uneaten. The possibility is even there that anglers on the previous week put in a lot of bait that you are fishing over.

Start slow is my advice, just a handful per rod and wait for the 1st runs. After that start using more bait, and find the amount that keeps them frcoming back for more. Fish for 1 take  at a time..

I fished the “L’ Anse” swim..the water level was very high..and all the bigger fish came from a spot only 50 yards out..

Baitwise..well.. rahja spice 15 mm’s shelflife’s did the job perfectly. I used some groundbait with a bit of hemp and maize, catapulted out.

If you have more specific questions..don’t hesitate to contact me and I will try to help you on your questions;
