General Comments:

This property was more than I expected, the the view of the lake and surrounding countryside is amazing, photos just don't do it justice. Loved this place, as did my family. Many thanks to Gilles, Sharon and Angling Lines

Details of your catches:

Another great week at Mas Bas main lake, 74 fish landed biggest being 42.8lb. Weather cool and breezy at the beginning of the week with temperatures rising to near 30 degrees as the week went on. 15 fish lost and had a few tench, bream and chat.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fishing to the far margin and island produced the most fish. Only 2 fish caught from the fountain which was surprising as this area has been very good for me before. Double 20mm boilies to make it harder for the chat. Don't over feed as it brings in the nuisance fish.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities in good order as usual, nice new sun beds.

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Absolutely not as its getting too popular.

Big thank you to Gilles and Sharon, always available if required and great to chat to over glass of wine.

Details of your catches:

There was only 1 angler in the end who caught a total of 30 fish, this was fishing days only (no night fishing) and going out some days too. All grass, common and mirror carp ranging from 20-30lb, I achieved a PB with a common weighing in at 36lb 1oz!

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fished the first day with 6-8 inch rigs and caught nothing. Advised to try longer rigs so switched to 11-12 inch rigs and caught 9 fish in a day! Best tip is listen to Gilles, he knows his lake!

Were the facilities what you expected?

We had everything we needed during our stay and we’ll maintained facilities. Very comfortable beds.

Were you happy with them?

Gilles and Sharon were great hosts, nothing was too much. We did not want for anything during our stay.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Definitely 100%, already have!

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes.

General Comments:

All our family fell in love with the place. A perfect holiday for my 40th birthday! Could not think of anywhere better to spend it as a keen angler.

Details of your catches:

We had 124 fish between 4 of us during the week without any of us fishing that hard. The average size was roughly mid 20s with the biggest fish of the week being 42lbs. Only one word for it and thats Carnage !!!

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

If im being honest, it really didnt matter what tactic we used or what bait we used., between the 4 of us we caught on pretty much anything.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were spot on.

Were you happy with them?

Was happy with facilities, heating wasnt working on arrival in the house, but credit to Gilles who sorted us some fire wood straight away.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Depends on what the friend wants, if they want alot of action and plenty of fish then 100% . If there looking for more of a challenge then maybe not. The venue is in the most stunning setting.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes
