Thanks mate.

Lake is relatively shallow, max 8 ft

Hi everyone,

My next French trip I’ll be baiting up from a boat (first time for a few years) and would welcome views on H Blocks versus marker poles.

Pros and cons please, with any recommendations greatly received.

Thanks in advance 👍

Thanks mate. Good point on distance, have edited the post to widen the options.

Hi everyone,

I might be in a position to do a French trip last week of October. My usual fishing mates have used up their leave allowance so might be a solo trip. With that in mind, I'm thinking of going to a runs water (as opposed to types of lakes I usually go to) to keep me occupied.

I'm mindful that availability may be a challenge, but what would you recommend. Criteria:

- bend in the rod, 30s+ runs water ideally
- ideally within 3 hours of ferry ports from either Calais or Le Havre, but will consider further
- food package
- usual shower, recharging etc facilities

Many thanks

Didn't think of the FB group, thanks mate 👍

Hi

Anybody on here been using the Deeper Quest Baitboat?

I'm considering getting one, but can't seem to find any user reviews yet, apart from a couple of YouTube videos. So any feedback from users appreciated.

Appreciate they've only been out a few months and there may be upgrades, so don't need to be told that, thanks. 👍

Good to hear. Just ordered a bag for my new Dobbins Bobbins pod from Ronnee. Initial Comms etc all good so far

Recently purchased the Solar Mk2 with memory foam. Done 12 nights on it. While a bit on the heavier side than some on the market, I find it extremely comfortable. 👍

Two of my mates have been waiting an eternity, with no Comms.

I want to upgrade myself, but reading all the horror stories won't touch them with a barge pole. Don't know who else to go with though.

If you haven't already purchased one, worth looking at Custom Angling Solutions. I had one made that screws into a 6ft pole (which has other purposes as well).
