😂😂😂 I thought Grizzly Old Bar Steward, so downed a few Grims and all became clear. Love ya work old mate.

@@robertcushney3174 yes I did think this, so what was this coming out of the lake as would have thought a Coypu would also have a tail print?

ive watched coypu in the past on french trips and like yourself went to see where they left the water as they were constantly picking my baits up definitely coypu prints looks a glorious lake , your a lucky man@@FensmereFishFarmandCarpLake

@@robertcushney3174 thanks mate 🙏

@@AaronsAnglingJourney thanks Aaron 🙏

Thanks for message Robert, I will look into them to add to the mix through the summer as they are cheaper than the Gouessant vegetable based pellet option. I will look at its nutrition profile as well. What sort of breakdown time do you get from the pellet?

Unfortunately very fast. I think a couple of minutes...Not like Coppens I am afraid. But as I don't have bream and not many silvers on my lake I don't really care 😅

I never really tested them Mark, so I just put a few in al glass of water. They perform better than I intitially thought. After 20 minutes they are still intact!

Almost an hour and still not completely broken down Mark! So in cold water at least an hour I guess. Positively surprised 😊

The total breakdown took 2,5 hours...😮

Hi Lee, we are around 300kg/acre on the main lake at the farm and its a 8 acre lake. We see around 3-5kg/year weight gain on the fish with the shooters sometimes gaining a little more. The biggest C3 last year was 9kgs and they averaged 7kgs.

@ thanks for the reply, you’re much bigger than me, I have eight stock ponds that I’ve dug out and a 3.5 acre lake with fish to just over 25lb, I’m in the North East of England so it’s a lot colder up here! I’m going to give BP Milling a go this year, the look to be quite decent and I’m not too fussed about quick growth. Cheers Lee

@@ChrisLogsdon-r9m cheers mate

@@ChrisLogsdon-r9m yeh mate it’s a CAT 1 trout stream, so water quality is unbelievably good 👌

@@ChrisLogsdon-r9m hahahahahha yeh mate it’s all part of it eh. Thought I had. Solved the issue clearing the stream and removing tons of sand this summer, but hey ho back to the drawing board.

@@jk_indawild yes I have been told by the DDT that I cannot obstruct the free movement of the otter with fencing. It’s bloody ridiculous to be honest and I will look into options this coming summer.

HAHAHAHAHAHA you know that mate, poxy rain causing carnage

Thanks mate, yeh they are an issue for sure. Keep an eye out for tonight's episode as the bloody river flooded into the lake again today CARNAGE

Many thanks Kenny

@@eddieharris7767 thanks Eddie I look forward to welcoming you here one day 👍

@FensmereFishFarmandCarpLake can I book through yourselves?

@@eddieharris7767 Hi Eddie, we are still taking booking through Wayne at info@exclusivecarpvenues.com We are fully booked through to 2027, but we have created a waiting list if anglers drop out.

@FensmereFishFarmandCarpLake thank you so much for the reply....do unasked you to put me on the waiting list or do I have to go through exclusivecarpvenues?

@ I can chat with Wayne and add you to the waiting list mate, I will let you know if anything becomes available.

Many thanks Peter, yeh its a lot of work that for sure, but very rewarding. For me it is all about the investment in the right machines, without the big tractor, excavators, dumper and buggy it would all have taken years and years. I certainly haven't been fishing as much as I like to, but I do have a big year planned. I have 4 weeks at Rainbow and another 3 weeks at a super venue, so things are looking up hahahahahaha.

I made a standup scarecrow and I have one in a boat that floats about, but one that moves in the wind would be awesome. Could you send me a link for the ones you have please Robert.

@@dmez9403 they are on there Dave, I had heaps of them, but they keep being blown around and spinning up right to the main tape. I will get more on there again though as they definitely work 👍

@@jackheckingbottom3296 thanks Jack, we grade our fish to get a real mix of scaleys, plainer mirrors and commons. Each year from a few thousand C1’s we only bring on around 200 fish. This means the very best make it through in terms of beauty and size 👌

@@whiteblackbird8494 Hi Robert, yes I lost a good fish last winter at the fish farm (upper 20) to otter predation. I keep an eye out everyday for them coming onto the lake again, but I have not seen anymore signs. I believe the male Otter has a huge range and although I stayed on site after loosing the fish last year to see the culprit it never showed its face again. Good luck on your lake I would be interested to see how you have otter proofed it. The DDT told me I was not able to fence the property as I was not allowed to disrupt the passage of the otter 🤷🤯🤬

@@FensmereFishFarmandCarpLake Hi Mark, The male otters have indeed a large area in which they live. One day they are at your lake and the next they move somewhere else, 10 km further. But they always seem to come back once they find easy access to lots of fish... You see these animals rarely as they are nocturnal and you don't find all the victims. Lots of fish are eaten in the water and the remains sink to the bottom of the lake. Only when they catch a bigger fish they tend to eat them somewehere on the bank, leaving behind the remains. Sometimes they only eat the parts they like most...Yes the DDT don't want to see closed off properties anymore. The wild animals have to migrate in and out as much as they like. Crazy! If I can have your email address I'll send you some pictures of my electric fencing. Best regards Robert

It's great to see you spending time to work every thing out it a massive learning curve. The joy of fishing is the journey. Not just rock up and cock up.

Many thanks Chris, I am stoked your enjoying the vids.

@@KevinGardner-d2q let hope we can catch up before then old mate and get a fish in somewhere eh 🤞🤞

@@kennydezitter1824 awesome, that’s great to hear Kenny.

@@CounterslipCares many thanks 🙏

Used wrong address..this is Graham Sims…keep em coming

@ hahahahaha cheers Graham 👍

Merci Mon pote 🙏

@@peterlakey9417 Hi Peter, in France only the Chasse are allowed to hunt. You can get permission to have the Chasse come and help with predator issues, but this opens up a whole can of worms. On both the farm and our Fensmere property which is 60+ acres we have a Chasse Interdit which we have had to apply for. This basically stops the Chasse hunting on our land. We have many reasons for this, mainly my wife’s horses and the risk hunters on our land would create. Also once the Chasse are allowed to hunt on your land it’s very difficult to stop. They can then at anytime during hunting season descend upon your property and we simply didn’t want this. I would join the Chasse, but my French is not good enough to get through the one year training and written exams, so for now I just have to be up at the farm and create as many problems for the birds as possible by way of ropes and obstacles.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. The green lobby here in the UK would love to ban fishing altogether eventually let alone shooting a problem cormorant. For that reason I have to limit my use of my gun to quiet periods around my ponds.

I had some drum and bass as usual in my ear pieces and I was worried that it would come out on the video and I would get done for copyright hahahahaha

Hi Toby, this was last year 2024. Wayne and I had 21 booked for 2 weeks, but it only opened a week later 🤦‍♂️ I wanted to do something a little different and have an adventure, so headed to Salagou. In the end it was the wrong time of year and apart from the fish the Germans caught I didn’t see another fish caught the 10 days I was there. It was a great trip though and I got a heap of knowledge banked for future trips 👍

@@Timbo_Slice23 yeh WHATEVER thanks for watching treacle 😘

@@FensmereFishFarmandCarpLake what type of fish are you breeding.?

@@ChrisLogsdon-r9m yep great idea mate, I will need to look at how it will fit in there as it’s a tight land barrier, but it can certainly be done 👍

@@christopherbaxter7284 thanks mate, yeh the bloody iPhone switched off midway through, so I just carried on and made the next bit part 2. I have started editing now, so quality will improve as we go along Thanks for following mate 👍

Are you allowed to shoot the birds ?

@ unfortunately in France you are not allowed to shoot anything unless you are a member of the Chasse. I would join if I could speak French fluently, I get by, but wouldn’t make the tests and general conversations amongst the locals 🤦‍♂️

@@johnblankenstein9460 thanks old mate, I have had to start doing some editing, so the quality will improve along the way. Thanks for following mate, wish you were here to bloody help eh, I could do with a mad rooter like yourself to pull the nets and do some graft 🤣🤣

Be good to see the warts n all mate. See you in November 😊

@ 🤣🤣🤣you will see them Warts mate, I thought I would start with some of the less stressful stuff hahahahaha
