General Comments:

The owner was very nice although couldnt speak much english, we did our best to comunicate with each other but he left us to it most of the week. We did have some problems with the electrics but he soon came and sorted the problem within an 1 hour.

Details of your catches:

We had a super weeks fishing catching 61 fish for a total weight of 2009lbs. Top fish went to Del at 52lb ( sadly photo was awful - so not used).

We noticed that over all the fish were much larger than last year and are already looking forward to returning next year as we had booked before we arrived this year.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fish well. Put in plenty of bait. We were all on different baits. We fished in 3 sets of 2 anglers. 2 sets used bait boats. Those in the far corner other side of the spit were using PVA bags. We all used blow back rigs.

The water level dropped 3 feet whilst we were there and spit was well above water level.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, Returning from our trip last year it was good to see the kitchen had been upgraded along with the power upgrade. No more power trips when using the cooker. The extra fridge and large freezer are more than enough even for 8 anglers.

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes. Definitely already booked for next year.
