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...)

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...

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.  ;)

Wow that is impressive!  I noticed you were wearing a Ranger Boats shirt.  Is there a Ranger dealer in France???
