Hi Blovac, Welcome to the forum! Nice French Bass!!! In which part of southern France do you live? I was recently (early September) in the Arles and Avignon area, and I saw some wonderful canals, as well as a nice reservoir on the Rhone. But unfortunately I did not have a chance to try for bass (or any other fish either...) Quote
blovac Posted November 29, 2006 Author Posted November 29, 2006 Those bass has been caught near Avignon ,maybe in the reservoir you've seen nearby the rhone !!! Quote
CyBasser Posted November 30, 2006 Posted November 30, 2006 Those bass has been caught near Avignon ,maybe in the reservoir you've seen nearby the rhone !!! Actually the reservoir was on the Rhone, if I remember well maybe 30Km or so to the west of Avignon, I believe it is called Beaucaire. I did see some big carp in it. The canals I saw were in the Le Sambuc area, near the Valat Biological station, they had lots of overhanging trees and bushes, and I actually did see some people spinning there as we passed by...
