carp fishing in france need some help please

[donwilliam]

hello, im new here and i wanted to ask you for some advice if anyone has it to spare. for over 10 years i have been fishing for carp and so far the biggest i have caught is 19lb - all the places in england that have big carp seem to either be overfished or to hard to catch on. i have heard lots of success stories from people who have gone carp fishing in france so im gonna give it a shot.
i have looked at a lot of site over the last couple of days and me and my buddy have narrowed it down to one, now we just need to hear if what the website says is true. has anyone been to cretelakes? it looks the part and if i here good news from you guys then thats the place im gonna go. i look forward to reading what you have to say.

Personally not herad of it BUT
It doesn't matter where you o in FRance where they advertise Big Carp there will be BIG carp

The place I go has a record of 35lb but we have seen the fish in hte shallows and jumping (it's trademark feeding method- nickname is Jaws) and it has grown
My PB of 41 came from Gran Canaria so doesn't matter where you go there will possibly be some decent fishing

jaws, love it.

i have been carp fishing in gran canaria too, it was at a water reservoir in the moutains, apparently they have them all over the place and they are used for watering all the plants and stuff up there for farmers or whatever. but the reservoir we were on was full to the brim with carp and fresh water bass. i took a 20 out of that lake fishing with bread on the surface, it was a great day, we all had a fish at least every 20 minutes.

I was the only person fishing in GC and that was the only fish (photo on my website)

as for France there are loads of places where you can get decent sizes of carp mine just happens to be owned by a couple from Sheffield and I keep going back every year just for the peace and quiet I even blank some days and don't go into a blue funk because of it 'cos the bar is always open take a look the thumbnail is clicable
