Lake view 01

We have just received this carp fishing venue update, from lake owner Chas Cook, informing us of his excellent results over the Winter period in France at his lake Vaux in Normandy 

 

 

Chas takes up the story:

” I continued to put my rods out throughout January, February and into March, but as always only late morning until dark.

Overall I landed 55 carp, 18 commons and 37 mirrors, the commons being 2 x high doubles, 6 x 20s to 29lb 14oz and 10 x 30s to 39lb 4oz and the mirrors being 17 x 20s to 29lb 6oz, 19 x 30s to 39lb 4oz and one 49lb 2oz. So my fishing carries on at the coldest time of the year and I am still catching.

I always like to try out any new bait from Quest Baits and having taken delivery of their new LiverB8 in February, I was delighted that not only did it catch for me a good number of the 20s and 30s, but most importantly the 49lb 2oz mirror. Most of the 20s and the low 30s were caught on a combination of artificial corn popped up, plus glaçon.

I have found over the seasons that for a high percentage of Quest Baits boilies it is preferable at Vaux to use them washed out, for at least three days, Irish Cream being the top bait for fishing in this way at the moment. And so I obviously also tried to wash out the new LiverB8, but it is such a superbly rolled tight bait that it does not lend itself to being washed out. It doesn’t go soft and doesn’t come off the hair; it comes out of the water almost as it went in with no deterioration, just a very small loss of colour and texture. I am therefore using it straight from the freezer and am excited about trying it out in warmer weather because I would expect more of the liver flavours to be released into warmer water and hopefully this will make it even more attractive to our carp, bringing even better results. I am really impressed – well done to Quest Baits.”

I’m sure everyone will agree this is and excellent result during a particularly nasty Winter weatherwise here in northern France.
