Welcome to the madhouse!

Very nice pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus) i used to have them in my old pond keep us posed and as we always say to the mad house

yeah pumpkinseed very nice looking fish

And welcome to the site

Hi Guys, thanks for the warm welcome,

Tis me San that does the typing, Garry just reads them, at night, thens its "San you type faster than me"
If you notice from the picture of the pumpkin seed - he was supposed to be painting, but keeps wandering off,



Glenn caught a 34lb'er last Saturday, yes its the one Gray - Madcaravanner had last year, (Gray can identify from the scales)

So Garry's now on a mission

This is Garrys best - He's trying

That 34lb'er is a stunner typical French fish (round) lovely colours and cracking scales

what other species have you guys got in the lakes ??

Just a few of our little ones, one day they will all be big boys.

We have Carp, Roache, a few perch, and eels and a fish the french call "gardons"
Lots more piccy's but I won't bore you all.

Please don’t take this the wrong way I do not want to offend in any way but you should always have them on an unhooking mat if they flip it could knock of a scale or to and then this could lead to infection I see you have it on some of the fish but French fish grow fast and it will not be long before they are big boys

Totally agree with you there, Garry keeps telling me not to let anyone fish without the mats etc, "keep getting a slap on the hand",
must give myself a written warning,

by the way I love the smilies.....
