First and foremost, we are Carp anglers having fished at home and in France for many years. My father Peter who has now reached the grand old age of 60, has many years of experience behind him, having first started fishing exclusively for Carp in the late 60's. Obviously my father and I have caught many good Carp, but where not going to bore you with the statistics because everyone does that and more to the point lets just say it sucks. We feel that with our knowledge which we have gained over the years, we have built up an understanding of what the concerning Carp angler expects. Carp Hunters Abroad is a family run business, my father and I along with my wife and children, decided to move to France in 1998. It took us 18 months to find our homes and the Carp lakes that we now own. Preparing the lakes for the opening dates March 2001 for Etang des Merault and April 2001 for Etang des Palluau has not been easy, much work has been undertaken, and much money spent!!. We live close by to the lakes and are on hand to assist you when needed.

I remember the night well....I had taken my son at the time aged 12 (That's him opposite with that pathetic hair cut holding that stupid looking fish) to a carp lake in Lincolnshire I had booked the farm house beside the lake, so that if it got cold we could retreat to the warmth of the open fire, well as you can see it did get cold !! and I never made the open fire. Needless to say my son did. |

I caught this fish on a worm injected with small amounts of cooking oil, from a lake near to where I used to live in London (Hainult Lake). Although the fish above was only a small 17lb common, its just one of those captures that sticks in the mind, as it was the first I had caught using this method. I went on to catch all the known carp that season using exactly the same method, although I must admit, I did get fed-up with catching tench and eel's most of the night. |
