Off to Rusheslake,France, in August.

As some of you will know I am off to Rusheslake in France for a week on August 23rd. I am going with a friend and his Son and will be meeting a couple of friends at Dover and travelling to the venue together.I think it's fair to say we are all excited with the prospect of having a great weeks fishing.I will be particularly targeting the big Catfish,they go to 90+lb.Also hope to do well on the Carp.Whats more as we all know each other,the social side should be great as well.
I have been to Rusheslake before and would/will recommend the venue to anyone,and what's more I would challenge anyone to go there and say that they didn't have a good time.

Anyway I nicked this excerpt from a catch report that Kim put up on another forum.

July 12th saw the scousers Paul & Neil fishing Goffees bank with Neil catching his first 20 on Saturday quickly followed by others upto 26lbs.
HOWEVER over in BlueCamp, Chris Reet on his 8th visit to Rushes obviously hadnt come to put his feet up. Thirty minutes after starting he had banked the first 20. Several catfish followed & on Sunday am the action began. He finished the week totally knackered with 53 x 20's, 68 between 15 & 20lbs, 2 x 30's biggest 34lbs, 22 x 20lbs + cats including 2 x 30's biggest 34.6. He also lost 2 cats that straightened a size 2 hook! He said on leaving... it hadnt been a bad week!!!
We have removed 50 odd small cats (upto 10lbs) with more leaving soon, surprising what an initial stock of 6 cats can produce! [quote]

Now that's what I would call a fantastic week....Absolutely awesome.

Farrrrrr too much action lol, you'd never get any sleep lol

hope you have a great time
