Record Week at Laroussi!!!, 1st Aug

What a week!!! From the 29th July to 5th August, the Old Oaks and Laroussi fishing has been awesome.

The weather conditions were much better with cooler temperatures, a lot of grey cloud, strong winds and rain. Perfect to switch on the fish!

Mr Martin's party was fishing Laroussi: they had the record number of fish caught in a week - 53. Topped by a 56lb mirror (Pb for Brian).

Brian had also his Pb grass carp at 31lb 8oz and sturgeon at 57lb 8oz. They had also 2 x forties at 45lb 2oz and 42lb (Pb for Steve), 19 x thirties to 39lb, 8 x twenties and 15 x doubles.

Nick had a new lake record grass carp at 43lb 12oz and his personal best mirror at 34lb.

7 big sturgeon have been caught to 60lb+

The other very good news is all the fish are spawned out. They will pile on weight about 5 or 6lb for the winter so the 7 high thirties will top the 40lb barrier very soon.... Well done mates!

During the same time, Mr Bowler's party also broke another record on Old Oaks! The previous record fish number of fish caught in a week was 65 by Mr Daniel Laughton-Zimmerman in April. They had fast and furious action and hauled 96 fish including; 4 x thirties and an amazing 74 x twenties! Again, all the fish are spawned out so we can think 28 of the good twenties will top the 30lb barrier very soon.

So (96+53).... 149 fish caught in a week between Laroussi and Old Oaks making it a new complex record! Total weight for Old Oaks: 2,249lb - average 23lb+ Total weight for Laroussi: 1,564lb, average 33lb+ Total weight for the complex : 3,813lb+ Top Angling!

Top angling!, 1st Jul

Congratulations to the young Elliot (Mr Morris party) for the new lake and French record Brown back sturgeon!

From ‘L’Anse” swim, he caught this huge sturgeon of 71lb 3oz! Wow (don’t forget to send me the photos please).  

Well done also Mr Roy for catching plenty of nice carp up to 41lb 3oz and 43lb 4oz in very hot conditions and Mr Raoul's party for a lovely 38lb mirror and the 2 big catfish 70lb and 76lb caught in only 1 hour! They prove it is very possible to catch quality fish even in hard conditions if you work at your fishing.

Quality angling!
