Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We were using Baitcraft T1 Boilies tipped with fake corn over a birdfood particle and halibut pellet mix. Also a few carp came out to Tiger Nut tipped with corn over the particle mix. Fish mainly the same spots all week. There was no special time of the day for bites, sometimes we could pick up 3-4 fish each in a night, sometimes nothing. One of our party had 10 runs in a day and missed 8 of them!!

General Comments:

The 11.00 draw for swim seamed a bit early considering we didn't dock in Calais until 10.20 We turned up at the Lake to find others already fishing!! There is a deep trench which runs around the whole of the lake, we lost a few fish due to cutoffs when the fish go in there (be careful fishing the margins)

This was my 2nd trip to this venue, first 3 days were hard fishing and only had about 5 fish, then we decided to fill it in with particle and this produced fish. My daughter's first french trip produced a 35lb 11oz mirror for her, the owner Mr Cousin, once again a top bloke, a massive thank you to Bridget and the team at Angling Lines for making this all possible.

Details of your catches:

30 fish, 14 Carp,biggest being 45lb, 6x30 to 38lb,7x20 to 28lb. 13 Catfish to 55lb,3 Grass carp to 28lb,one Koi carp of 13lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Most things work well. Large spread of boilies and particles, fishing a boilie tip off corn over the top seem to catch the bigger fish.

The only thing we could fault was the lack of drinking water on site. The owner was absolutely fantastic as regards this problem by supplying us with Water throughout the week. But does need looking into otherwise a fantastic holiday had by all, looking forward to returning next year. Many thanks from our party to Bernard and his family for making us very welcome.
