Dennis Hellings reflect on a hectic week in FranceTaska ace Dennis Hellings enjoyed a session to remember last week, after banking a succession of French carp - with the biggest ranging between 37lb and 47lb!Dennis explained: "Every year I go around three times to France with my good friend Koen De Ruysscher, targetting a large public lake in the north of France. When we arrived, things didn’t look good because there were almost no catches reported, but with the weather changing in the right direction and warmer temperatures moving in, we were still optimistic. The first night I bagged one fish. Luckily it was a nice 37lb 9oz mirror, and not a bad start to the trip! We continued baiting up all the area’s with small boilies -and eventually our perseverance paid dividends.
