WORK AT GIGANTICA - DANNY FAIRBRASS

I am proud to announce that we have purchased the 30-acre lake directly across the road from Gigantica, in France.

The Road Lake, as it will be called, will be totally different to the original Gigantica, now known as the Main Lake. It will be a runs water with a high stock of fish between 25lb and 50lb. We have already stocked the lake with 270 fish between 15lb and 28lb from the prestigious Bachelier family who control Etang La Horre, the famous 'long-range' water that’s full of fifties, sixties and now seventy-plus fish, fish so the blood line is second to none.

In addition, our scaly fish in the stock pond on the Main Lake are going into the Road Lake, plus anything caught from the Main Lake under 25lb. We expect more than 150 fish to go across this season, which means that the Road Lake will get more and more prolific, with new fish going in all year. There will be at least another 300 fish going in this November from Bachelier so its gonna be on fire for 2013! If you are interested in fishing it when it opens in July 2012, or wish to reserve places for 2013, call the Gigantica booking number 01268 820440.

This means the stocking density of the Main Lake will reduce meaning another sharp rise in the size of the 500 or so fish left. We expect no less than four 80lb-plus fish by this autumn and as many as ten eighties by autumn 2013!

The Road Lake was stocked in the mid 90's with Bacheliers fish and hardly been fished since so there could be some monsters in there, but we simply don't know so are airing on the side of caution, expect some of them may have grown legs over the years!

Swim building on the Road Lake begins in earnest at the start of March so our first request for manpower is this:

Grafters required to swim-build and clear trees on the new Gigantica Road Lake. Days are long and the work is heavy and strenuous. Exploratory fishing on the Road Lake at night is compulsory! You may even be able to fish the Main Lake during the closed season and on the odd week it is not full.

We will feed you with a hearty breakfast and massive evening meal, along with a beer or glass of vin. All extra beer and bait can be purchased at cost prices. We hope to get enough keen people who are happy to work for food and fishing, but if you have particular skills, i.e. you’re a qualified builder or plumber, or better still, have a 1 to 3 tonne digger, we may be able to pay you one way or another.

Please call Jon Mann at Gigantica Bookinngs on 01268 820440 or e mail your interest to bookings@gigantica-carp.co.uk

The second position is a paid permanent bailiff to work with Danny T, aka 'Le Grand Fromage'.

Duties include:
Cooking for our clients, breakfast and evening meals
Stock control of food and beverage, bait and tackle
Upkeep and maintenance of the kitchen, dining
area, toilets, shower, stock room and site generally
First aid support for clients.
Assisting clients in their day-to-day angling, offering advice and coaching as needs be.
Fish care and fishery management including repairing broken fins, dressing wounds and transfer of fish around the site as part of the ongoing fishery management plan
Assisting clients with large fish, i.e. weighing and photographing
Plus, dealing with other day-to-day issues as they arise.

Training in catering and food hygiene is arranged in the UK and fishery management is taught on location in France.

The job is varied and rewarding but is seven days a week and while there are quiet periods during the day, it will be full-on at other times. The ideal candidate needs to be highly motivated and able to work independently and most of all be happy working in France full time.

Paid holidays are five weeks in the three-month winter season but are limited to one week in the summer.

All living expenses are paid including room (local villa), food and fuel (work related journeys).

This means the modest salary of £13,500 to £15,000 per annum (depending on bailiffing experience), is all disposable income, giving you the opportunity to bank the money and build savings, have a very comfortable lifestyle in France or superb holidays in the off season. There is also a profit-related bonus based on the success of the business.

You will of course be able to fish nights on either the Main or Road lake depending on the client numbers and bait and tackle comes at our cost price.

If you cherish the opportunity to work in beautiful, rural surroundings on one of the premier complexes in France, alongside one of life’s proper characters (Fromage) and enjoy giving great service to your clients, then we urgently want to speak to you. Please e mail your CV to bookings@gigantica-carp.co.uk
