alun j. Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 If it is of any consolation and support........there seems to be a considerable body of support from RSAs on the other side of the Channel. I've just come back from hols on the Ile d'Oleron on the west coast of France and had a few days at a B&B where the host is a Guide de peche.... a type of chartrer skipper, who takes up to 4 paying guests out on his American T-top sports boat..... targetting 3 different types of bass they have there....about 13-15 mls out...using light gear and weighted jellies\shads. Back at the b&b .....lots of french fishing mags [ much better than ours, with much more info and few ads!!]....and the theme of raising size limits for bass was in all of them !!; with lots of contact with Euro-politics. Their bass fishing has declined significantly over past few years....and pair trawling is seen as the main culprit. Pascal Capitaine operates a min size of 48cms and only allows his paying guests to take 2 bass per trip [ a day with him costs 175 euros...and you have 3 other anglers on board... so I didn't enquire further!!] This time of year their main target is Maigre ... a giant bass... other names include stone bass.....that gets to 2 m in length and 30 Kg..and an hour to land on that tackle!! Shame they don't often this far North! [look them up on Google if interested!!]... but a few small ones have been reported! .......SO ....we are not alone.

dicky Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 i was in the aqaurium at la rochelle today and seen a few of those stone bass, big buggers. seems to be a lack of charter boats in general in that area and the ones that are available aren't cheap.
