Ste takes 2 weeks holiday in France to celebrate Cal's Birthday.
While there he managed a 48 hours at Clearwater Lake in Brittany from the 23rd to the 25th Aug.
After missing a few fish on a size 6 hook he stepped up to a size 4 and caught 12 carp.

Fishing with Ace Baits ( Fish Frenzy & Fruity Crab Boilies ) and a few Tuna or Tutti Fruiti Boilies of an unknown make from the fishery owner.
Ste was also feeding Ace Baits rapid breakdown pellets to match the Boilies on the hair.
With the lake to themselves he and Cal had a great time.
From the 28th to the 30th Aug Ste fished Les Caolins Lake also in Brittany.
There was persistent rain and the only bites came from the mozzies!
Although he did have 1 knock on the second day but no real take, and believes his Tribal Stalking Rod was pulled in by a Catfish
No alarm sounded? Leaving Ste with no Tribal Rod and a lost Shimano Reel.
This second 48 hours was a complete contrast to the first. But I guess that's why they call it fishing not catching!
