Wow, what a week we’ve just had at Blavet. As usual the hospitality from Gordon, Berny & Ross was excellent but the fishing was out of this world. The Urban Legend has already given you a brief insight of how the week went but it was a 114 fish in total, 106 of which were carp and this is the lake record for the total number of carp out in one week.

Between the four of us, off our side of the bank we caught 71 fish, one of which was a Cat and the one and only sturgeon was caught by Ralph six times. So the carp haul was 64.

Just got back from Blavet Lakes this morning had the best trip ever we've been fishing the lake for about five years now and I've never seen anything like it before Tony is going to do a full catch report with photos hopefully but a quick run down 106 carp on the bank a new lake record and 2 cats and finally the sturgeon. The 3 Tractor boys who fished for the first time all had PB's and also got very excited when a Tractor whent past the lake,Tony had the new lake record at 55:14 a awsome fish and cockney steve aka many chins had a new PB at 45:15 good angling mate as always Gorden,Bernie and Ross could not do enough for us the food and the banter was as always fantastic. I would also like to thank Ralf aka the Sturgeonater for keeping the fish in his swim he caught it 6 times and lost it twice now that must be a lake record thats all for now i will let Tony do the rest.If your looking for a French venue give Blavet a try you won't be disappointed.

They returned home very happy with their captures.
