Devizes Crazy Carpers

11th Sep to 17th Sep 2010

6 anglers

Details of your catches:

Over 315 carp landed in total!!! 1 x 30lb+, 35 x 20lb+ and the rest doubles with the occasional tench.Chris 67 carp - Biggest 25lb 70z CommonViv 76 carp - Biggest 27lb 2oz MirrorArchie 55 Carp - Biggest 28lb 5oz MirrorShane 48 Carp - Biggest 30lb 2oz CommonJohn 23 Carp - 26lb 10oz CommonSteve 46 Carp - Biggest 26lb 15oz CommonHavn't worked out the total weight but with average size being over 16lb, then there must have been over 5000 lb of fish caught during the week!!!! We didnt fish every night and stopped for a few games of poker, fun in the pool and visits to the supermarket.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Any bait, no real science to the fishing except they seem to come closer to the lodge bank during the night (shallower water). You can try and use 3 rods but generally one will be on the bank as hard to keep them all in the water at the same time !!!!!

Were the facilities what you expected?

General Comments:

Great lake, long way into France but when you get there you will not be dissapointed. There are so many fish, you can have a relaxing week and still catch plenty of fish.
No monsters but constantly catching. Great for someone looking for a 1st time venue or family break.

General Comments:

It was a wonderful family holiday with 8 of us but just one mad angler and we had a really idilic time. Ages ranged from 5 to 63 yrs and we all enjoyed the tranquil setting. The Bouchett family made us really welcome and the swimming pool an added bonus. BBQ's in the evening went down well, lakeside with everyone and hardly any biting insects. All in the cottage except for the angler, we were supprised to have a dishwasher!! The nearby town where we went daily for bread was beautiful with a pretty church and small river running through it. We will be saving up for another trip. Highly recommended by the Shepherd family. Our son Alex arranged the holiday and travelled from Saudi you may guess he is the angler!! Thanks again.

Details of your catches:

31 fish in all. Went with the wife so just one angler & didn't fish at night. Sunday: 12pound,16,22,13,23,17,25,24,17 Monday: 20,17,13,20,13,22,12 Tuesday: 17,16,28,12,16,3.5(tench) Wednesday: 4(tench), 20,25,21,18.5,14,16 Thursday: 27 Friday: 20

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Single hook bait topped with half a slice of fake corn and a golf ball size pva mesh bag of pellets. Don't bother spodding tried at the end to see if it would affect feeding and might have spooked fish off as catches started to drop off, not that I minded had had more than expected :)

Had an excellent time wanted to go on a fishing holiday with the wife where she also had something to do Vincons is the ideal place if the wife likes chilling by the pool in the sun :)

The lake is a great runs lake as sold to me, no 40's but the chance of a 30 all in all great fun :)

Would go again.
Oh and people who run it are lovely.

Details of your catches:

I landed 38 carp, largest was my PB 32lb common. My father landed 30 fish and his biggest was 28lb. plus we lost about 9 fish each. Definitely the best fishing trip we have ever had... the fishing really is explosive and the action never stopped. Already booked again for next year.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

me and my father used korda size 4 kurv shank barbless on 6 to 7 inch prologic hooklink and sum rubber tube to hold the hair on the shank for a better hook hold.me and my father found monster crab worked wonders we spreaded the bait over a wide area and then both fished 3 rods each on it,me and my father also found that topping your hook bait with a small bright pop up or plastic corn also worked great.

General Comments:

it was a great holiday sadly the pool was out of order at the time me and my family was there. but we will be back in july for the fishing action and the pool should be ready by then.the fishing lodge was great nice and close to the lake side. it had everything we need for a weeks stay.the electrics could do with a upgrade but i was not to bad cos only my mother and brother stayed in the lodge while me and my father fished from our bivvys. the french family at the lake are very nice, they are very helpful and give my mother and father a bottle of wine as a welcome gift and also give them another bottle of wine once the found out the pool was not up and running.it was a cracking holiday i would recommend this venue to all my friends thanks angling lines from the lukacs family
