Organised Trips

All organised trips are from Saturday to Sunday giving 7 full days fishing, all anglers can fish for carp and catfish as well as coarse fish their are many benefits to going on an organised trip (see next page), the beauty of our trips is that you can choose between having meals or not. If you choose meals then you can leave the hassle to us and concentrate on fishing! If not we will take you down to the local supermarket every other day for your shopping. The atmosphere here is always friendly and relaxed apart from when all the rods scream off at once and then it can be a little hectic!. If you want peace and solitude then we have ample room to give you just what you came for most the swims are double swims with ample space for fishing and socialising.

Your holiday begins as soon as you are collected from your chosen pickup point (See enclosed map for pickup points). We then resume our journey down to Portsmouth to meet the MV Bretagne for the evening crossing to St Malo.

The ferry used for the St Malo crossing is both spacious and luxurious. It boasts two cinemas, a full a la carte restaurant as well as a café area and a self service restaurant. There is also a bar with live entertainment, discothèque, and cabaret. For those of you who prefer to pass the trip in calmer surroundings there is a cocktail bar, Pullman seats with blankets are included for your travelling comfort.
