Feedback The Great Lake from Russel Smith 02/05/2009

Hiya,

Please find below Russell's feedback as it is from his recent trip to Goncourt Great Lake, his groups catch result is also on a previous post.
Congrats to them from HML and Goncourt crew.
We still have good availability and even exclusive possibilities for Great Lake in June, so please contact us to get a chance to fish this awesome venue in ideal conditions.

"Hi Simon / Sandrine.

I am not sure who this email goes to but we fished the great lake on the dates above and I met Sandrine on the day I was leaving. I promised a few photos of some of our weeks catch. a 47lb

47lb

This was my first time to France. The fishing was very hard but this is what appealed to me. Having never been to France before I did not want to just "bag up" on a runs water - we all wanted a challenge! Thank you all so much as I had a dream week, others did not fair so well but there is always next time. The photos are the biggies, Dave Clark had the 20lb Grass carp, Paul Burton had the 47lb and I had the 45lb and the 50lb!!! My first ever 40

45lb

and my first ever 50!!There were various mid to high 30s and a 41 but I haven't got the photos from my mates yet. The fish were stunning and fought like hell. It was a week with some brilliant stories (the one about the screaming run in the thunderstorm could be made into a film :) - think I might right and article of the adventures :) Please feel free to post these photos on the blog or website although do not feel obliged.

Best Regards

50lb

Russell Smith."

Traque feedback from "Happy Carper" week ending 25/04/09

Quoted from Happy Carper blog http://happycarping.blogspot.com/2009/05/carp-fishing-with-hortonfishingcom.html

Thanks for a great weeks fishing pascale,both me and bri had personel best mirrors,commons,grass carp and bri had a 24lb koi.we had a total of 1550lb of carp with average weight being just over 30 lb ,everything about the complex is quality and the fish are stunning! what a week thanks again.

Tuesday, 28 April 2009

hello just returned from one week fishing on le traque and what a week it was,me and a mate of mine fished from 18-25/04/09 we managed to land 50 fish between us and lost afair few fish to start off with before we got our heads round the lake.

Most fish were caught from the margins although we did managed about 10 fish from the middle of the lake,fishing ass8 and t1 over mixed pellet and crumbed boilie seemed to be the best approach you dont need loads of bait,i only used 5kg boilie and 5 of pellet all week ,bri used alot more pellet but less boilie.

A lot of my fish came later on while bri was catching most of the day,his bites stopped and mine started ,showing that the fish do move off around the lake i even got the early monrnig fish on the way back before bri started catching again and i tried to catch up on some sleep.by the end of the week bri had 2 forties 40lb12oz and 48lb i had 4 40lb,40lb2oz,47lb and 49lb along with loads of high thirties (25) grassys to 26lb commons to 39lb and 1 koi at 24lb.

Bri had been to the complex before but me as a virgin goncourt carper was impressed to say the least with the set up and especially the greeting we got we arrived of pascale,shes a great host who knows plenty about the fish and fishing for them and will bend over backwards to help you out (thanks pascal).

all in all a great weeks fishing loads of fish good company and great surroundings.oh yes and great fruit pie mmm!!!!!!
