62lb

After a long and cold winter, spring is finally here. In fact, we had the wettest winter in France for 20 years! Fishing has been slow but things are better and better now with the warmer temperatures. Forties, fifties and sixties have been landed so far.

Last week, a special fish came out. Mr Diment’s party, regular and happy anglers at Laroussi, caught a few nice fish including “Le Grand Male”.
It’s the biggest male carp of Laroussi, two years ago they had it at mid forty, last year at a low 50 and this week at 62lb !

Which means a new sixty for the lake. Congratulations to DZ for that great capture, the perfect present for his birthday that week.
Well done again!

‘Mr Sixty’ Wayne Naylor has bagged half a page in the new Carp-Talk for the 67lb Mirror caught at Laroussi in February this year.

Huge congratulations to Steve Knight! He was the last angler on both Laroussi and Old Oaks & caught the last carp of the 2012 season (mid December).

Steve, loving the challenge, came back early February 2013 on Laroussi to try to seduce the first carp of the year and he did it with a lovely 26lb common.  Braving the horrible weather nights and days and fishing in a water at only 4°C during several weeks proves the determination of Steve.

Second angler of the year on Laroussi is actually fishing right now… Mr Naylor, alias Mr Sixty, is back !

Within 24hrs, fishing in a water at 4°C,  -4°C air temp and snowing, he showed us again his skill by catching a superb 58lb mirror!

But Wayne wants more…

Last night, he landed his second carp at 67lb!

A new PB for Mr Sixty!

Congratulations, that’s awesome… and still another 5 days to go!

It was too cold to fish for carp at Laroussi, so Mehdi went for the perch instead… & here’s the two he caught.  Both around 17 inches long, he calls them “The Twins”. Merry Christmas!

Mike Dagnall has just returned from Laroussi & although he didn’t catch many… he certainly had quality.  From a 7 carp haul the biggest 3 were 72lb 4oz, 53 lb and 41 lb.
