Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Finding a decent sport, baiting accurately and being patient was the decider. Various tactics were used across all anglers.
Bait wise sweetcorn, chopped boilies and flavoured glug produced the most fish with wafters topped with corn.
Rigs used were Solid Bags, Spinner Rigs & D-Rigs.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were ok, this is a drive & survive venue so the facilities are what you would expect. Fridge, Freezers & Shower all worked fine and we're very much appreciated in the scorching heat that we had in the week that we were there.

Were you happy with them?

Yes perfectly fine

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes we would recommend this venue to those who want to fish lake exclusive and not have to travel too far from Calais. The lake states up to 6 people which we made work, you could get 6 people on the point at a squeeze, but it would be difficult. To fish comfortably I would recommend no more than 4 people.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Absolutely, we were satisfied with everything and the communication throughout from Angling Lines, especially through lockdown with Coronavirus

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Tried everything from big beds of bait and solid bags but bright pop ups seemed to be what the bites come on. The clay bar opposite the spit did the majority of the bites and the margins did the fair share also. However we lost in excess of 15/20 fish due to hook pulls the mouths are ridiculously soft so take extreme caution when playing fish.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were spot on as described, 3 fridges and massive chest freezer for bait and the addition of a double hob saved on cooking at your swims. However the hot water in the shower doesn’t last much longer than 2 people a day so make them quick ?

Were you happy with them?

Yes very much so!

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Not on this occasion for this venue I’d say there’s no way I would fish this venue with more than 5 anglers at MAX or you will fight over water due to the shape of the lake.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes Angling Lines are fantastic second trip without any problems whatsoever.

General Comments:

Go prepared to fish a soft or silty or clay bottom as that’s what’s in front of you pretty much everywhere. Gear up with big hooks and be gentle playing fish dropping them after 10 seconds into a run isn’t ideal but it’s likely.
