Swim 3 Matt and Andy 2x low doubles, 20.10lb, 26.2lb and a 12lb pike

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

The majority of fish were caught on nut based bottom baits from Mad Baits and CCMoore - nearly all were caught in blowback rigs.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes

Were you happy with them?

Overall, the facilities were good - the swims are in need of some maintenance and can be restrictive when casting, especially when two are fishing from one swim. This wouldn’t be a problem if you were using a bait boat and the issue was discussed with Phillipe.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes - good sized fish, amazing food package and service from Joanne.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, quality service. All questions and requests dealt with quickly.

The fishing was hard but this could of been down to the changeable weather during the week, the temperature also dropped considerably. However, we all enjoyed the week and 3 pb’s were broken.

Details of your catches:

Total of 33 fish for the two of us. Swim one with two twenties , sixteen thirties and six forties.
Swim three one twenty, seven thirties and one forty.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Only a couple of handful of boilies only over each spot after every fish.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Very good facilities. The only issue is the oven and the toilet with not being able to put toilet paper down it 😳

Yes and Joanne is a very nice lady and is more than helpful.

peg 1 - Scott 7 and Sam 2 with 8 lost

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fish seemed to be holding at both ends of the lake with regular bites coming throughout the day to baits positioned near to the margins. All baits caught

Were the facilities what you expected?

Overall we were very happy, we did feel that the kitchen area is tired and needs cleaning and new cooker. The fridges were also full of food from previous groups that we had to bin for our food to be kept fresh. The bathroom facilities were excellent with good supply of hot water.

Were you happy with them?

Yes as mentioned above

General Comments:

We all had a great week even though fishing was tough at times for some. We had no issues with crayfish or snags as mentioned in previous reviews, all lost fish were down to hookpulls. Philippe was very keen to address any issues and was working on the platforms as we left. We would like to see the snags removed from around the island this can be fished and stop fish holding up behind the rope.
