A great account by Jason Rider of four years fishing 14 acre Boux, set in the Morvan Regional Park. Famously the lake where Tim Paisley had his first fifty, it’s still a haven for carp anglers to this day… 2008 My first impressions of Domaine De Boux in April 2008 were nice enough but I had no […]
A huge well done to Cliff Jones who came away with the new lake record at Beaurepaire this May, weighing in at 56lb 1oz. ‘After a few beers some silly bugger suggested that if one of us were to catch a lake record they should be made to streak the full length of the far […]

Being totally addicted to getting out there and wetting a line, a lot of my angling has to involve very short sessions after or before work if I am able to get my ‘fix’. This past week has seen me on the bank 3 times for short two to three hour sessions, but during those […]
After many many big fish caught so far this year at Old Oaks, here’s the cherry on the cake. Bryan Baker did it! He finally banked the mighty ” Long common” at a new max weight 62lb10oz! Why is she called the “Long common”? Because she measures 1.20m long! Bryan wrote : It was taken on […]

As Mehdi opened the gate to Laroussi, we got our first view of this magnificent lake. Having never been there before, myself, Pete Smith and Les Brink stood in awe at the beauty of the place. After a quick walk round and seeing a few fish I would have been happy to fish any of […]
Having read a blog that Shaun first published on the blog last year, I made my own enquiries to purchase some McNett Gruntlines. Now, any additional fishing paraphernalia has to earn a place in my tightly packed tackle bag and my Gruntlines certainly have earned that place since I purchased them. Gruntlines have many uses […]
