Etang de la Botte : Stuart Bossons fishing from 02/04/11

1 angler

"Hi Sandrine

Just letting you know I had a fantastic time on La Botte.  Having not fished over in france before the whole experience was brilliant.  Didn’t catch as many as the other guys on the lake looking at James Vincents email and being pegged up nat to far from John and Julie Mcarthur who had an endless amount of fish I would have been happy with just one.  Learn loads from john which helped me catch a 21lb Common on the Wednesday and 3 other fish on the final Friday – 25lb Common, a Massive 42lb Mirror and what I really wanted – a big cat of 52lb.  With my biggest UK fish of a mere 16lb from my younger days you can imagine these fish were unbelievable.

Absolutely Brilliant and will definitely be coming back….

PS there was only me taking the pics at night and running from behind the camera setting the timer and running to the fish before it went off proved to be somewhat a chore J."
Thank you very much for your feedback and photos. I especially appreciate the good atmosphere and assistance between anglers during that week. An I can imagine how it was a sport to do the photos on your own ;)
