Details of your catches:

Graham fished le Haut Fond and had a 44lb mirror the first night, followed by a 6.4 male tench, a 65lb sturgeon and a common about 20lb the next day. After that bites dried up and a move to l'Ainse for the last 2 nights produced only the same 65lb sturgeon. Simon fished le 2 Saules and had only a 26lb mirror. Mark had nothing in the Point swim and only a move to le Plage for the last 2 nights produced a 15lb common. Fishing was very hard with carp spawning on the first night and activity decreasing as the temperatures increased through the week. Neverthless we saw a lot of big lumps jumping out and we all want to return when fish are hopefully feeding better.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Hard to say when fishing was so hard. We kept things simple, did not bait heavily as fish were not feeding. It does not appear that rigs/baits really matter too much. We tried close in, long range, on the bars, in far margins…all possible spots. All fish caught on 16 or 20 mm boilies

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities are excellent; large fridge and freezer is a real benefit in summer; supermarket only 10 mins away, shower and toilet clean

Were you happy with them?

Yes, very happy

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, definitely, but this is a relatively hard water, you can't guarantee runs all the time

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, definitely
