Yellow 12mm pb pop ups from DNA baits over 8mm and 12 mm S7 from DNA baits with S7 hydro spod hemp and corn really got them going with bites coming day and night. Was slow to start with not landing a fish till Tuesday night but then they got on it and was shitting the stuff out all over.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Using plenty of Mehdi’s partiblend and hemp good amount over each bait if the fish are feeding hard small amounts if the fishing is slow.
I used my normal rigs with fake corn on all rods some pink some yellow, nothing special about rigs just used what I have confidence in.

I fished Laroussi 10 years ago and blanked on one trip and had one fish on the second trip a small common but I always wanted to return I feel I now have a very good idea of how to approach this lake. The lake holds massive fish which we saw many times in the margins snags etc had I done what I started doing on day 4 I would have caught at least 1 fish per night possibly more.
One thing we think is important is to work hard in your swim with the marker rod don’t be scared to use it and watch the lake for fish moving about they will show you where they are and take on board Mehdi’s advice he is always very helpful and on the end of the phone.

We will be back very soon, thanks again to Mehdi, was great to be back.

51lbs08oz, 48lbs, 47lbs, 45lbs, 44lbs, 42lbs x2, 40lbs, 37lbs 2 x 36lbs and 31lbs

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Bait, rigs: I mix 50% of the mighty Mehdi's partiblend with 50% of pure boilies to bait up, and a very fruity hookbait.

Since I had bites quickly, I decided to bait up heavily between each bite, to keep the fish feeding.

I checked my spots by watching directly with polarized glasses and all baits were gone within an hour.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Perfect. Nice and clean and confortable. It was nice to use a big freezer and a big fridge during such hot weather.

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes. Yes. The lake itself is beautiful, There's plenty of shade on every swim.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Man, it was damn hot!!! Up to 35°C, but fish were feeding mad. I baited up one spot by hand and noticed all bait were gone within an hour. For that reason, I decided to use plenty of bait to keep the fish feeding on my spots. I like to mix partiblend with boilies to keep the fish a long time on my spots.

When you fish only 48 hours, usually, you fish for one bite at a time, and use a few handfuls of bait. But, it wasn't enough. This is why I use so much bait.

I was on peg 1, fishing the far bank and my hookbait was a small fruity and sweety stuff.

Two months ago, I did the same trick, and had 17 bites in 48 hours off the very last peg. When you know the lake, you can catch regularly even in tough conditions.

I would have caught much more fish if I could stay...
