2nd – 9th April 2011

Our Opening week 2011 started with rain and wind and the first 40lb'er coming out overnight. Then as forecast, it started to warm up dramatically over the coming week, causing it overall to be a pretty hard week for our 4 anglers from Norfolk. Having said that, they all had a 40lb'er, with young lad Craig's being a Personal Best. Nothing under 30lb, and six 40lb'ers means a great opening week with 817.30 lbs altogether. Great average weight yet again.

47lb 4oz caught by Paul Towler,
44lb 4oz caught again by Paul Towler,
42lb by Paul Weaving,
42lb by Dave Weaving,
41lb by Craig Coleman, and

9th – 16th April 2011

Another fantastic week for two more anglers from Norfolk and one from Nottinghamshire.

Ten 40’s and twelve 30’s – again nothing under 30lb.

22 carp caught with 7 lost, totalling 808.625lb in weight, with an average of 36.75lbs. For this sized lake, the averages are phenomenal and the carp are feeding really well at the moment – not too hot and water temperatures keeping cool.

Weather warm but from early on in the week, a very cold Northerly wind – OK for the guys in the Med swims as I’m sure it is quite a few degrees warmer over there.

Absolutely cracking, and each one achieving their personal best. A few lost, but no detraction from their amazing catches.

16th - 23rd April

We had no one on the lake this week, so our Baz and Colin decided to make the most of it and do a spot of fishing themselves. They only fished at night, because most people know what a workaholic Baz is, and there is always some job to do during the day. Therefore in reality, it was only 2 days of fishing, but a great result, especially for Baz who caught:-

41lb 8oz
40lb 4oz
38lb 14oz
37lb 4oz
35lb 10oz

I am afraid he put Colin to shame this time, but he still caught a

37lb 14oz

2 lost but catch weighing 231.37lbs with an average of 38.56lbs. Great for 2 anglers for 2 days.

23rd – 30th April 2011

I know I am posting this early as the week has only just begun, but I really must let you know that our 5 anglers from Wolverhampton have caught 11 carp in the first 24 hours – among them a lake record of 66lb 4oz, 51lb 10oz, and also 3 commons in their late 30’s. Nothing under 30lb.

Absolutely brilliant and still another 6 days to go – so watch this space.

(30th April) Well, I was not wrong to ask you to watch this space, and you are not going to be disappointed – what an amazing week with 47 carp caught to a total of 1693lbs, and another great average of 36.5lbs. 8 lost.

Mostly cloudy with some sunny intervals and very cold at night.

Threatening to storm a couple of days, but not really amounting to anything. The Northerly wind again kept the water temperature to a balance that the carp liked, so no sign of spawning yet.

A brilliant week – congratulations boys, and the champagne went down a treat.

Hi all!! what a week we just had at Lac Les Pins!! a total of 47 caught and 8 lost! in 24 hrs a had 3 takes resulting in a 45 (Bazza), 51.10 (Shoulders) and a 56.04 (Breezeblock) new pb!!! A little confussion over the fish the fish on the site in the dark is a 40.08 and a new 40 that i am hoping will be called Paris. Also the one with the big Scale was a 30. ive sent Chris a few pics yeterday and today so hopefully she will get them posted up asap. Fishy Rich had a cracker at 66.04 just short of the lake record by 12oz (matey) ohhh and it was off a 30yd mis-cast!!!! but fairplay to the old codger....i thought his ticker was gona give up on him at one stage!!! LAC LES PINS CATCH REPORTS 2011 Icon_lol

lol!!! The nutty Professor had his pb of 42lb and hadnt even caught a 20 until then. we call him the nutty prof because he looks just like him.....but he is actually nuts after all!!!! ha ha!!! Fair play mate!!! Sambo had his new pb of 45lb, Minty had his first 50 at 51.02 but it had grown to 51.04 overnite. At that rate it will be a 60 by the end of the week!!!! lmao!!! seriously though if anyone is thinking about a trip abroad for quality fish you can do alot worse than going to Lac Les Pins. i have fished it for the past 5years now and it goes from strength to strength...........and it wont be long before it does a 70!!!! Baz and Col work tirelessly to ensure you have a great holiday and Chris is always good for a wind up especially if you start with the male chauveounist jokes!!!! ha ha!!!

LEE.BEAVEN Tue May 10, 2011 7:50 pm

Hi
Just got back from Lac Les Pins what a week the four of us had again, spa total of 43 fish for 1,969lb and battler at 50lb on the last night. a total of three fish in the 50s one at 65lb 5oz, 19 fish 40 plus and the rest 30 plus o yea one at 28!!
Yet again the food and hospitality second to none, a great crack with Colin again, as normal he will do anything for you nothing to much trouble. If anyone is thinking of going to France you will be hard to find a better place this is my 5th time and still enjoy it as much as the first and the fish are just getting bigger and bigger and sum stunning fish too. One last thing just remember this is not a runs water you need to put the bait in and work for them but I asure you the rewards are there as you can see by there catch reports. Very Happy

signing out the kings of Les Pins !!!!

30th April – 7th May 2011

We had 4 of our regular guys from Wiltshire this week, and another amazing week was had by all. They had originally wanted last week, but got pipped to the post and thought they could not have as brilliant a week as Craig McEvoy group, but we proved them wrong with another 60, 3 -50’s, 17 – 40’s, 23 – 30’s and only 1 under 30lb at 28lb 4oz coming out again with a total of 45 carp weighing 1,969lbs, and a top average at 43.75lb’s.

Varying weather with thunderstorms, strong winds and rain for a couple of days, but still staying warm. Also brilliant sunshine with the wind keeping it at a nice temperature. The carp started to spawn on Wednesday, so hopefully it will be over soon for this weeks anglers.

Well done guys – brilliant yet again.

7th – 14th May 2011

There were 6 anglers this week, 2 regulars Graham Dunn and his son Jamie from Gillingham, Kent. He was here for 5 weeks last year at different times. Some weeks he just stayed on – he just loves it here. The other 4 anglers are new to Lac Les Pins from Lancashire. As mentioned before, spawning started last Wednesday, so we were rooting for our guys to score well, and the lake did not disappoint. Even with spawning still going on due to the heat – it was hot, hot, hot with a couple of nasty thunderstorms, and being slower than of late, our guys still had a brilliant week with 37 carp totalling 1,461lbs and another super average weight of 39.48lb. 8 lost. Absolutely well done to them all.

Greedy “Shoulders” was caught twice weighing
53lb 12oz and going down a little with being caught, at

14th – 21st May 2011

4 of our regular anglers on the lake this week, as you know Graham and his son stayed from last week.

Fishing has been very slow due to the extreme heat, and most caught early evening or morning when cooler. Spawning seems to be over but the carp don’t like eating when it is so hot, they prefer sunbathing.

Still a cracking week, with the lake managing to produce good weights with 6 – 40’s, 17 – 30’s and 9 -20’s. 33 Carp totalling 1,128lb’s with an average weight of 34.18lb.

21st – 28th May 2011

6 of our regular anglers on the lake this week, 2 from Lincolnshire, and 4 from Liverpool. It turned out to be a bit of a nightmare with extreme heat causing spawning once again. Catches started well with the first 60, but spawning started after the first couple of days and continued all the rest of the week. This is the second time in 3 weeks, and affected fishing dramatically making it a really difficult week. Two of our guys blanked unfortunately, which we hate to see, but we cannot predict the weather and water temperatures, but luckily this does not happen often at our lake.

Still a good few weights caught though. 26 carp with 6 lost totalling 1,053lb’s and averaging 41lb.

2 – 60’s, 1 – 50, 7 – 40’s, 14 – 30’s, 2 – 20’s.

28th May – 4th June 2011

Two of our regular couples with their families from Essex at the lake this week. Fishing was exceptionally hard after spawning last week and into the beginning of this week. The large carp seem to be taking a well earned rest after two spawnings in 3 weeks, it has really taken it out of them, and no form of encouragement brought them to the net. Most lakes in this area have had the same experience we hear, and even though cooler with some rain and a nippy wind earlier in the week, they just could not be moved.

These guys have always had fantastic catches over the years they have been visiting us, but conditions this time were against them. Not to detract from the stunning specimens that were caught, they did catch 19 carp, totalling 663lb, with an average weight of 35lb. Well done guys under really difficult circumstances.

4th - 11th June 2011

This week, 2 of our regulars from Cheshire, and 4 new anglers from Worcester visited us.

It was a slightly better week size wise, and although the week started well, a couple of our anglers did not get another bite all week after that. Weather could not make up its mind and went from brilliant sunshine to storm and rain to pretty chilly, especially at night. From experience of other years, when the weather is so changeable, this affects the carp’s eating habits.

25 carp caught totalling 1152lb’s with an average weight of 46lb.

11th – 18th June 2011

This week, we had 5 anglers from Norfolk – 2 of our regular guys and 3 new. They had a great time, but again it was a very, very hard week for them.

The carp seem to be taking a long time recovering from their spawn but it did seem to be a particularly hard one. Considering this Spring has been the hottest and driest in 100 years, with a drought declared in most departments, it is no wonder that this is having an effect on the fishing.

It has become slightly cooler with some rain, although not enough yet to reduce water temperature, and rain does encourage the carp to start feeding, so we hope that things will improve from now on.

19 carp caught totalling 721lb with an aveage weight of 38lb. 3 lost.

18th – 25th June 2011

We welcomed 3 of our regular anglers from East Sussex, also Graham Dunn visited us again, and we knew it was going to be an extremely hard week for them with the drought continuing. Droughts change the dynamics in a lake and can cause a sudden abundance in natural food.

April and May have surpassed in both heat and dryness, the drought of 1974, and aid has had to be given to stricken farmers with water being taken from some of the large Public lakes in the area. We have never known it like this.

Our guys still enjoyed their week with us, and got up to a few pranks with Colin, including getting him down to photograph their amazing catch (which was a large inflatable fish).

25th June – 2nd July 2011

This week, as expected Graham decided to stay another week, and we had 4 of our regular anglers from Surrey who have been coming here since we opened – they have caught some blinding carp in the past, one of them, Paul Bolton caught the largest fish in 2008 with a 55lb’er. This time it was not to be, the continuing hot weather and ongoing drought took its toll once again, and we are now praying for rain. Lack of oxygen is making the carp lethargic, the larger fish going for deeper, cooler water.

The hot weather is forecast for another two weeks, then we hope that we can get back to normal.

Hallelujah - it looks like the large carp may be on the munch again, and not before time, with a 60lb'er 50lb'er and 5 - 40's coming out this week including a cracking brace. The 50 and 60 have both lost around 7lb's in weight, and the 40's, a few lb's, so it just goes to show that they have not been feeding since the spawn. Another really hard week though for our 4 regular guys from Norfolk, and 1 new angler from Wiltshire. Still very hot with no rain to speak of.

5 new anglers from Nottingham at the lake this week. Another very hot week, slightly cooler towards the end with a little rain, so again, hard fishing for our guys. Rain predicted for the next few days which we so desperately need, so hope it is not just another false prediction.

30th July – 6th August 2011

6 mixed anglers visited us this week – Steve McCarthy on his second trip this year from Liverpool, father and young son from York, one new angler from Shropshire (who had a very productive week), and two regulars from Lincolnshire. Very hot when they arrived, and I know we have been moaning so much about no rain, well we were hit by the storm from hell after soaring humidity. It did not last that long, but wind and torrential rain brought a few trees down, and almost disintegrated one of the bivvies. It certainly cooled things down a bit, and a few carp caught overnight after this. A bit cooler for a couple of days after that, but predicted to be hotting up again.

22 carp caught totalling 824.14 lbs with a great average of 37.46 lb, but around 13 fish lost – this could have been a much more productive week, but even so fantastic catches.

3 anglers from Norfolk and our old mate Martin Smith from Birmingham fished the lake this week, and what a fabulous week it was they caught an amazing 11 – 40’s and 21 – 30’s.

Everyone was more than happy with their catches, plenty of fish cruising and sunbathing, but most importantly eating after so long. The week started with a little rain, hotting up later with obviously cooler nights now. Brilliant week guys – that’s what we like to see.

We had 5 new new guys from Liverpool, and another old favourite, Ron Chillery from Nottinghamshire at the lake this week – he was absolutely over the moon to catch his first 50 lb’er – well done to you Ron.

Another blazingly hot week with 1 overnight thunderstorm not cooling us down at all, so fishing remained quiet. Therefore extremely hard week again for the guys, but some good fish landed – they are not to be deterred and will be back next year with hopefully no drought conditions to contend with.

20th – 27th August 2011

We had 5 of our regular anglers from Buckinghamshire fishing this week. It was blisteringly, unbearably hot to start the week, so not much happening as expected, only a few fish banked. Then on Wednesday night, a much welcomed thunderstorm with rain most of the night cooling everything down and producing 7 catches, with another 7 catches again the following night. Staying cooler for the rest of the week caused the carp to carry on feeding well, producing the rest of the catches.

It ended up a very good week with 28 carp caught and 10 lost, so it could have been even more productive. Total weight 949lb’s, with an average of 34lb.

3rd – 10th September 2011

Only 3 anglers at the lake who visited us from Nottingham this week – should have been 5 but sadly two brothers had to drop out due to family illness.

And how absolutely F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C – 12 - 40’s and 2 – 50’s. They had a great week last year, but not compared to this.

These guys started catching from the start, and all had their PB’s on the first night. They caught well every day until Thursday and Friday when it slowed down as temperatures went up again.

They were such great guys and had a good laugh with Baz, who also fished 3 nights because there was space. He was over the moon with his own personal best of 54lb 9oz.

A mixed week weatherwise with quite a bit of rain and sunshine, much colder at night. The carp are most definitely feeding really well now and are happier with the cooler temperatures.

25 carp caught totalling 908lbs with an average of weight of 36.32lbs.

10th – 17th September 2011

A mixed bunch of 6 anglers this week, 3 regulars and 3 new. They were from Lincoln, Sussex, Wales and Essex.

Nice to see quite a few commons coming out. Our anglers banked 8 – 40’s, 17 – 30’s and no 20’s.

It was a hard but very productive week. The carp seemed to switch off again early in the week straight after last week’s great catches. All but one angler achieved his 40, but he still had late 30’s which is not to be sniffed at. The weather warmed up again with some rain later on – now getting quite cold at night.

25 carp caught totalling 943.4 lbs, with an average weight of 38lb.
