Stéphane Lopez fishing guide at Expérience Pêche
"I'm back from the Carrefour National de la Pêche, where I presented for the third time my work as a sea fishing guide in the Camargue.
Once again, the public was out in force, reminding us that despite all the existing communication tools, trade shows still have their place. On Friday, visitors were out in front of the doors from 1 p.m. onwards. Saturday saw the show filled to capacity, and thanks to all the small food trucks positioned on the wings of the show, visitors were able to stay longer by eating on site, and then continue to enjoy the afternoon's entertainment. Sunday was less busy, but we were able to take more time with the public and bring more quality to our exchanges.
We were 3 fishing guide instructors next to each other with Lozère, Camargue and Brazil represented. We're planning to expand the center next year and, with my colleagues, offer guides from other regions for other species.
Next appointment, the Avignon fishing show on February 4 and 5, 2024."

"This edition went rather well, better than 2023 for our part. The CNPL corrected many of last year's organizational errors, and the absence of many major fishing companies did not hinder this edition.
At least, not the loyal exhibitors who were there, because a large number of visitors were unhappy about the absence of the big brands, and let us know: "They're quite happy to find us all year round to support them, they could at least respect their customers by presenting their new products at the shows! "we regularly heard...
We had the opportunity to present numerous Bricoleurre novelties (nearly 50 this year!!) and to give many lure-making demonstrations... In fact, our stand was packed all weekend... It's true that in these times, the arguments of dividing the cost of your lures by 10 and being able to recycle them are very convincing! Thank you to the many enthusiasts who visited our stand during the show
