Tony and his son, Luke have been coming to Carp France for a number of years under the previous owners, fishing on both lakes over this time. This year they joined us having spent a week at another lake, along with Caron, who was in charge of the cooking for the first four days before she had to return to the UK.
The weather improved for the lads week on Lac Lucie and they were completely focused on fishing, making the most of our evening meal package but not stopping too late so they could get the rods back out for the night session. They obviously had one or two visits to their favourite shop (Carpe Atomic) in Limoges during the week for essential supplies.
Tony pitched his bivvy up at the bottom end of the lake and fished into the lilies whilst Luke stayed at the top end nearest the chalet and used his bait boat (which miraculously was still going despite a charging issue with the handset).
Far more success was had from Lac Lucie and Luke started to reel a few nice fish in although never quite keeping up with his dad who landed a nice 46lbs 11oz common from this lake.
On the Thursday when the lads joined us for tea they were delighted to tell us that Luke had had a fifty pounder – our first out of Lac Lucie this season so all very happy.
Tony and Luke headed back up to Tyne and Wear in the early hours of Friday morning so missed a day on Lac Lucie but seemed to be quite happy with their week on here and relaxed after their two weeks with us, hopefully to return again.
Final catch report for Lac Lucie for this week was 18 carp in total and no catfish. There were 9 of both mirrors and commons and 4 at 20lb+, 12 at 30lb+, 1 at 40lb+ and 1 at 50lb+
