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...)

[blovac]

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...

awesome bass in france!

[Glenn]

Those are fantastic bass by any standards!  Very nice!  I have to admit, I didn't realize there were bass in France.  I learn something new every day.

Awesome, what kind of lure were you using?

[blovac]

On the first picture it's a 3/8 jig and the second it's a sizmic creature toad to rigged with a 5/8 oz sinker ,both lure in black/red color
(my favorite color )
