I've Fished it loads last year when Andy first got it. Loads of fish. Really deep lake. He's spent a lot of time making swims and feeding the fish.

Guys used tuna on french lake last year and had the best catch results of the whole year.

I have customers coming back for their 3rd and 4th visits since taking ownership and very good reviews. I'm happy to say I've made a few friends along the way and have been amazed at how helpful some of my guests have bee
I was up against the old ballif telling lies to his regulars that the stock had gone, which it definitely has not as I've had it netted.
You are entitled to your opinion but from what I've seen of other fishery owners near me most work very hard to ensure their customers have the best possible experience in france.

I charge less for bait than at home as I want the best quality going in. for the fish....we make very little on food....if my customers are not catching I give them free bait to try and rigs etc as I want them to have a great time. During the close whilst the fish are still feeding I put approx 70kg of food in a week so the fish will achieve best weights. A stock with over 25 fish above 40lbs to over 60 needs a lot of food. Another massive cost was electricity running the air systems.
Last year we ran at a loss. This year will be the same.

Andy. I don't think you have any idea of the costs involved in running a legal fishery in france. I have had my place just over a year and believe me it's not a massive money maker! Sure during the open season we get a good income if full but that has to last the year! Tax on the service sector is 22.4% alone. Over the winter the costs and work are massive... Netting, maintenance, feeding the fish, tree work, siltex, digger hire, lake dye, swim repairs, stocking, public indemnity insurance etc etc.
I for one am very concerned as to whether I will even be in business in a year. If the worse case scenario plays out we will be mullered. The only money in the bank will be deposits and that will not pay the bills.

It does not attach to bait screw port. Has a separate power supply or CL do a replacement lid with power. Good bit of kit. I have 2 I use at my lake to monitor bait being eaten.

I used mine for a week and they worked flawlessly. I loved my ecus which replaced my old txis as my main set of alarms but I can't see myself using them again.
They were fine is torrential rain, heat etc. Not really got my head around the beep speed yet but default settings seem fine and response about half way for the conditions I was fishing in.

I'm currently using my set. Think they are brilliant so far. Seem very well built and look good too. Think my ecus won't be used much now although I have found them to be good also.
Still got a set of txis plus that I got on first release which apart from one never let me down. The one that did fail delkim repaired with no fuss.
