We were lucky enough to be able to stop at Oakview for a few days whilst making one of our usual trips to some of our venues in France. On this trip most of our visits to the lakes were grouped in an area where we could stop in one place and circle out each day to view the venues. When we arrived at Oakview in the evening Shirley and Martin made us most welcome at their home with a nice hot cuppa. From their house we could just see the lake through the trees in the distance as the sun was going down. We discussed their plans and then the talk got around to the actual fishing something I love to do! (I always travel with my rods in the roof of the van) Martin could see I was chomping at the bit and offered to show me around the lake - if I wanted to fish… If !! – we were down the stairs and half way across the field before his feet touched the ground.
As we walked around the lake Martin told me all about the work they had done – including de-silting the lake and putting in a deeper channel along the left side of the lake (looking from the cabin) He also showed me the hotspots where successful anglers had fished before.(more…)

Hi, I am going to Jonchery in August ‘08 and I’m just wondering what flavourboilies and pellets you would recommend to take as I have never fished in France.
Thanks very much
Paul

Hi Paul,
I haven’t fished Jonchery but have seen the lake. Certainly if I were going myself I would take either Liver B8 boilies or the Special Crab (or both) at that time of the year and back them up with the GarlicFeastparticle mix. (more…)
by Elie Godsi If I were to ask you to come up with the ‘ultimate’ test for a new carpbait - like Shaun’s Liver B8 - what would it look like? Maybe you would fish that bait on one rod alongside your other baits and compare your captures? Maybe you could compare your results with other anglers using other brands of boilies on the lakes you fish? Maybe you could fish it on a lake that had never seen that particular bait and see what your catch rate was like. All well and good but what about the ultimate test? (more…)
