The latest edition of Loup et Bar dropped through my letterbox this morning and I had a quick squint over breakfast.

Its a stunning mag as usual but there are a few highlights and pointers at 2011 tackle releases that just got me fired up, not least for the annual Nantes pilgrimage.

Here a few tasters to warm up your weekend.

• 7.4kg bass taken off St Malo (they really do get some big fish down there in the autumn - maybe the Jersey guys should consider a trip?).
• Turbot starting to be caught regularly in the Med on diving plugs.
• Lots of references to rockfishing (LRF/HRF).
• An article on dropshotting from the boat (**** did they hear your question?).
• New Sakura 12.5cm Magic Eel and Makaira jigheads from 0.5g to 10.5g
• New Sakura LRF wallet that goes on your belt.
• Lots of nice new SPs I couldn't begin to describe.
• The new Stella 3000FE with a PE spool (I put this in specially for Si).
• A new Rarenium 5000.
• A 22.5kg Maigre taken on a Rookie 702, Stradic 3000 and 8lb (yes 8lb) braid.
• A new Valiant DR 620 RIB put together for lure fishing, which could be the one certain people have been waiting for.

Its all too much. I need some retail therapy (Christmas is coming after all) so I am off to my local tackle shop.

Cheers




PS as this post refers to lures and boats and catches I couldn't find anywhere better to post it, but if a Mod wants to move it then go ahead.

Paul,

Is it possible to subscribe to this magazine from the UK and if so do you have a link?

 

[Mike Kennard]

I would be interested too. Especially if Paul were to translate the interesting bits!!!!

It's a pity that they aren't a realistic target for UK lure anglers, I know a few turn up now and again, but after seeing some of the Spanish/ Portuguese caught fish, I'd love a crack at them.

Vidar if you struggle to get a suscription I will sort it out for you at Nantes if you like.

Now, my French is nonexistent so that sounds attractive to me :mrgreen::mrgreen:
