HAPPY SQUID & LIVER and a ROSEHIP NEW YEAR!

Here is a reminder to all of our regulars.... This is why you keep coming back!
If you haven't booked for 2012 yet, be quick, more than half the season sold
already.
Below, Hugh with 'VAL'
Lake Record 52lbs 8oz.


OCT / NOV 2011
This has been the longest and warmest 'end of season' I can remember.
Even now, in November the fish are really active, crashing out all over
the place.
Here are some Pics I forgot to post from October.  Rob, Dale, Kirk n Dave
certainly had a few beauties out on this trip.  lets see what you can get
next time!




SEPT 2011
As the days get shorter the big ones get their heads down to feed! Mirrors

to nearly 49lbs! Good work and see you next year!

Barrys trip turned into the Carl & Lee show! The impressive catch included
5 X 40's and a whole bunch of others. Well done!




August 2011
WELL DONE TO MARK who had the cat at 54lbs! It's the first time
shes been out in 12 months!  Steve, Sam, Alan & Daphne also pulled
out some lumps to 47lbs!!!  Sorry I can't show more of your photos,
here's a few of them.......

Peter, The Gaffer had a few friends over to fish on his 43rd Birthday.  The
Week started slowly but picked up later in the week when the storms moved
in. Congrats to 'Birdy' on catching his first ever carp.  Karly Boy & Doghouse
plucked a few out and Nadine had a stonking Grass Carp. But, lets start with
The Gaffers 42lb Mirror......




Lake regular, Tommy two Guns (and total Booming Minter) broke his PB again but
missed out on VAL this time around. (must try harder!) Here's Tom, Chas n Dave &
Ash (The Hands) with a carp or two. Good work!



A few technical problems with computers again! corrupted SD cards and the like,
but don't worry, here's a few pics from August.  If your picture isn't here and
you would like it posted, let me know!


Lee, Ricki, Jason & Ian all had PB's BUT I CAN'T FIND YOUR
FISH PICS! - did I copy them or was it your SD that was corrupted???

JULY 2012
Say hi to 'Val'. Andy, on his second trip to Lac de Paix pulled her out on his first
night, all 50lbs 08 oz of her!  Fishing pal, Ken had this cracking 30lb Grassie.
Several Grassies came in during the week and some lovely mirrors. Average
weight well over 30lbs!



On their 3rd trip to Lac de Paix I had to admit to father & son team
that I can learn new stuff from some anglers! Nice rigs, nice planning
& well deserved catch. 3 x 40's and a bunch of others including a 37lb PB
Common. Sean's now in the 40 Club! Will the student outshine the
tutor next year?!

Father and Son team unstoppable!

A few more, PB Common for Malcolm below of 37lbs!


Our Old Warrior (not Malcolm, the fish!)

Had to get on early this week and show you Malcolms cracking start to the week.
No pics from last week I'm afraid but check this out.  One of 2 x 40's from the
Home Run and its only Tuesday. Only 2 anglers this week - Seans had a few too!
Lots of good pics to show you and a new pb common in the mix. Heres one of
Malcolms 40's.........the rest at the end of the week!



Here are a few pics that Chris sent to us, just to keep you going.  One of our
regulars will be fishing next week so watch this space. It's about time 'Val' came
out again!  We had two cancelled weeks in July so not many pics to show.  It's up
to you Malcolm!


Andrew, Tony & Luke had the fish boshing out over their baits all week
but the fish made them work for it!  A good start to the week though
fellas. A few pics and what a lovely common taken from the stock pond.


May/June 2011
Before you see last weeks pictures I want to tell our regular angler,
'Cinders the Ginsters Rhino' or (Pavo) to his friends, to sort his ***T out
and get those photos sent over from two weeks ago!

But here we have, from last week, a nice selection of pictures
from anglers that can send emails!

Nice work fellas. When the going gets tough, the tough get going!  Check out
that 42lb Common. Corker!

Its taken me a while to get around to posting these pics, sorry folks. The last few weeks has
produced a mixed bag of fish, we've had several 40's, see if you can spot them in this lot!
I have used the best pics I could find of the last few weeks.  If yours isn't on here I'm sorry
but  some of the night time shots were unusable. 





Ray, Dennis, Alfie, Dave 'n Danny had a 'Common' week.  Dennis caught a PB Common of
42.5lbs Whilst Danny showed the others how to do it with a cracking Mirror at 42lbs. Here
are a few pics to keep you going......................... PB's get the BUBBLY!

Good to see you all again fellas - check out horizontal Dave!


The Welsh have been at it again! I have to say that they did not out perform Hugh 'n co but
a fine effort none the less.  Braces seemed to be the order of the week but the usual bag of
40+ carp for this crew evaded capture this time around.  Stonking average weights again,
well into the 30lb mark. Carl also pulled out his target fish - 'Pug Face' on the last night.
We don't have a picture of Pug (please send it Carl) but here a few of the weeks catch...

Also - our most dedicated angler - check out that hair do!  As Andrew does this every year,
we thought we would change the name of our business to 'I'm bit of a knob' .co.uk!  Can't
wait 'til next year!

Iain, Mike and co........ Looks like the lap top wombles have gone - send us your pics and I'll
get them on here. (Mike, that 40lb + on Facebook, can you email the origional pls?)
.....................Thanks Mike......  NB Top left, 46.5lbs!! Here's the best pics for ya!

March/April 2011

JAN/FEB 2011

With the worst of the winter over (I say optimistically) we have been able to get the lodge
freshly painted for the forthcoming season ..... if you haven't booked already, give me a call,
we still have a handfull of weeks left. Don't miss out!  Anyway, whilst we await the sun to warm
the water and get the fish on the move again, let's have a look at some of last season's funnies!
 Whats the clown wig for?!

 We've all done it!

    Grass carp ..... need I say more?

 New lake record! Ouch.

SEPTEMBER 2010
Hello All, firstly an appology. Due to technichal problems we lost 3 weeks of news updates. BIG OOPS!  But here are some of the stunning fish caught over the last few weeks - one angler had 3 x 40's in a row!
So - in no particular order.......









.................................................................................................................................................. 

 




Lots of nice carp out as well.  A Pb of 37lb for Bob, well done and Sean catching 3 x 30lb +

 


Ron, top right, managed a 43.5lb, a 39, a 37 & an upper 20.  'He who has least
has the biggest!' Well done mate.  3 out of 4 had new PB's with a grand total of 700lb
bagged during the week.  Barry, top left with a typically spotless common.  Mark &
Peter had fish to 37 & 34 respectivly.


................................................................................................................................


NEW LAKE RECORD!!!!

   

 

 Toms brace, 37lb & 25lb, NICE!

JULY 2010

 

 

Lake regular and our very own movie star 'Doghouse' Dave Adams and his wife, Nadine, could
not resist the temptation of yet another visit to Lac de Paix, again in July.  Dave's on a mission to
beat his own Lac de Paix PB of a 43.5lb mirror (as seen on our DVD) and a 38.5lb common.
Although just missing out on these targets this time, he nailed a 34lb Grassie (another PB for him)
and Nadine caught her first ever carp, part of a brace, shown below.  Please note, I am holding the
grassie for Dave because he actually hurt his back landing it!

Dave and Caroline had the lake to themselves and did a spot of fishing whilst
lying in the sun! 'What a scorcher!' Dave had a new PB at 35lbs, well done mate.
I took advantage of the weather and did a spot of stalking, in just a few hours I
caught this hard fighting grass carp! Bring it on!

Plenty more where this came from!


............................................................................................................

Alan and his crew all smashed their PB's last week, with carp up to 36lb.
Unfortunately there aren't many useable photos!  Here are a couple,
including the guys sporting their PB-Breaking Bubbly!

Karl, Steve, John & Georgous George did yet another 800lb + week and took some
fantastic photos whilst they were at it.  Check this view taken from 'The Boots' swim.












More unknown fish taken during the week! Happy days!
N.B lads, I'm sure you had more Pics....where are the ones of George? and I have
only one pic of John...... Bang 'em through on email and I'll put them on.

had gone into the tank!

Peter, Scott, Tony and Carl - yes, we think Peter's hat needs corks!





Heavy frost at night still, 20 degs C during the day. Carl counted 37 fish cruising
around the entrance of the bay, enjoying the sunshine, no doubt.  Seeing them and
catching them is two different things! Well done for what you did catch including
