Hi Bridget,
I would like to send you a big thank you for the competition prize of a weeks fishing at Beaurepaire. I booked the lake and took my brother along as he had never been to France before.

We have been back less than 24 hrs and we are already missing the place (especially as its raining here and were burnt to a crisp Ha Ha).

The carp catching virtually started as soon as we got there. There was plenty of fish showing and after a couple of hours I had bagged a couple. That set the tone of the week really, steady catching during the day but not a lot at night (at least we could keep our rest up). Below is a breakdown of what we caught and I have also attached a couple of pictures.

Saturday:

Me: 16lb 8oz, 21lb & 24lb
Dave: 14lb 8oz & 20lb

Sunday:

Me: 16lb 4oz, 14lb 12oz, 14lb, 18lb, 20lb
Dave: 14lb 8oz

Monday:

Me: 19lb 8oz, 19lb 4oz, 31lb 4oz, 14lb 8oz, 17lb 6oz
Dave: 13lb 10oz, 21lb, 11lb 10oz, 18lb, 22lb, 13lb

Tuesday:

Me: 20lb 2oz, 13lb 10oz, 17lb 14oz, 16lb, 19lb 8oz, 15lb 8oz
Dave: 17lb 4oz, 14lb

Wednesday:

Me: 16lb 12oz, 21lb 8oz, 19lb 8oz, 10lb, 19lb 12oz
Dave: 22lb 8oz, 13lb, 17lb 8oz

Thursday:

Me: 19lb 12oz, 22lb 8oz
Dave: 12lb, 20lb

Friday:

Me: 16lb 4oz, 17lb, 12lb, 11lb 4oz
Dave: 15lb 8oz. 22lb 12oz, 14lb, 16lb 8oz

In total i had 30 fish for 536lb 4oz and Dave had 20 fish for 333lb 4oz. My biggest fish was 31lb 4oz and our Dave's was 22lb 12oz. If there was one complaint, or just to worn others, the place is stuffed with bream and skimmer bream. We caught loads of them and ended up using really big baits to avoid them. I even caught a Pike on 2 18mm boilies. Dave did achieve one of his ambitions of catching a cat fish, unfortunately it only weighted about 3lb.

Once again a big thanks to you and all the people at angling lines. I would recommend Beaurepaire to anyone wanting to catch fish, i would even go back again one day (i might even pay this time ha ha ha). If this is the standard of your fisheries i can only say one thing..........Bring on Laroussi in October!!!!

Thanks
Andy Wilson

General Comments:

Far harder this week than previous visit, weather didn't help as it rained pretty much continually and we'd packed for a heatwave. Fabien and Fleur were great including getting their brother to pull my Landrover out of lake at 11pm last night having driven too close to a very, very, soggy bank (I didn't feel too stupid at all!). We will deffinately be back. Thanks a million.

Details of your catches:

9 mid to high doubles, 9 twenties to 28½lb & 1 x 32½lb mirror - a new PB.

A large bed of particles with PVA bags and boilies with tip of yellow plastic corn.
