France is my favorite country in the entire world. I have fallen in love with it ever since I heard my french teacher talk about it for the first time, telling us about how romantic and beautiful it is. The first trip I took to France holds a very special place in my heart. However, looking back, I think that I was a bit unprepared for it, and I wish I would've done my research. For starters, you need to larn the ins and outs of transit. It would be best if you considered buying advance-purchase discounts for the high-speed bullet train, which can make your trip a whole lot easier and more enjoyable. I highly recommend doing it through https://www.oebbfahrplan.com/de/!

Yes mate, Forces Carp Classic. Me and Patsy came second on Heron, she had a 55.12 Mirror! Nice to hear from you. Didn't get checked for bait on way out, my friend Wayne had his van x rayed and they didn't say anything about his bait.

Just fished Abbey Lakes, i was on Heron in a match utilising all lakes. Fox had 2 pegs either side of pylon on road bank that caught all week consistently. The one on the left of pylon facing lake done best and they had 2 fifties and a 60. We had 10 onHeron, best of 55lb. Weather was spot on though.

No mate not fox. It's a very spot specific lake by all accounts, when I was out there last year fox was full for the week and yet only 2 or 3 swims were producing bites and I was told that's usually the way on there

Thanks IP100.

Gonna do that. Seen some deals on Dry hemp and buckwheat and leaning towards Krill active or DNA baits used both and kinda prefer the Krill.

We're booked onto Fox lake, you ever fished it before ?


And thanks everyone for the heads up regarding the bait restrictions going into France ill take my chances 👍🏼

Take your particles dry and prep on the bank. Also frozen boilies. Pack them well and you have no problems. They do have a freezer at abbey to store bait in too. What lake are you booked on to?

There ain’t no issues taking bait to France. I went over on a coach a few weeks ago, X-rayed some of our kit didn’t mention anything about the half ton of boilies in the trailer

Never been to France,but I certainly wouldn't worry about the particles going "gloopy" I'd prepare them 2 days before and just leave them in the bucket to do their thing.
