Etang-De-La-Botte is a 35 acre gravel pit with a huge island set in the middle, in 2003 saw Mal, John, Denis and myself to this fantastic venue for a week, there is definately something unique about fishing a foreign water quite what it is I do not know except one thing I did notice and that the fish seem so much healthier and in better condition.
We were met by a freak hurricane force wind shortly after we arrived but then it just got hotter and hotter and it was only may, even the water temperature was 81 degrees, also what amazed me was that it did not matter how high the temperature we caught fish throughout the day.
Three of our group came away with personal bests too, I too thought that I may have had one when I saw the size of a common that laid in my net it was immense but only weighed 29lb-10oz, so my quest for a forty carries on.
