Details of your catches:

I caught 25 mirror carp - ranging from 21lb to 43.5lb.
6 common carp from 15.5lb to 25.5lb.
7 grass carp from 17lb to 23.lb.
1 koi carp at 20lb.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

I used 20ml rajha spice boilies and bottom baits with a long hook link. Keep baiting to keep the fish interested!

Gilles will give advice on the best spots and he knows what he's talking about. Listen to him! :)

Were the facilities what you expected?

Better than expected. The house is huge and very comfortable. The t.v has has a lot of channels in French, German and English. The wi fi is actually quite good for a rural spot! The pool and the surrounding valley is amazing. Couldn't ask for better.

Were you happy with them?

Absolutely.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Definitely.. already have.

General Comments:

Fantastic location and fantastic hosts. Gilles dropped by a few times to see how things were and if we needed anything. If we were in need of something he had no problem sorting it out as soon as he could. Highly recommended for an angling and family holiday combined. Can't wait to go back!

Details of your catches:

Didn't fish that much but even so it was slow compared with two years ago when we fished exactly the same...it was a very hot week and maybe that had something to do with it...caught around 5 carp compared to 25 two years ago.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Standard rigs but catfish were a huge problem.

General Comments:

Amazing holiday great hosts

Details of your catches:

52 fish. 2x40lbs+; 14x30lbs+; 28x20lbs

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Most rigs caught, double baits and wrapped for the poisson chats. The spicy boillies may have had an edge, but not by much. Listen to Gilles his advice is excellent.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Definitely better than expected. As we were two families with 5 & 8 month ago babies we were pleasantly surprised how easy everything was; the accommodation and location of Mas Bas is just beautiful. The outside space was fantastic, 3 metres from the water, covered which was useful given it was approx. 34 degrees during the day. Kitchen and shower facilities were superb. Nearby Town with big supermarket within 10 mins.

Were you happy with them?

Absolutely faultless

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Most definitely. The ability to combine family holiday with fishing with plenty of large carp must be a very rare thing to find. Of course Gilles's expertise and knowledge of the lake was spot on and the hired equipment was excellent.

Sharon also gets a huge thank you for helping us with our baby who fell ill during the stay. Her support with navigating the French language and medical system was priceless. The hospitality we received was first class and we are already looking at the dates for next year.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Absolutely

General Comments:

The whole experience was excellent, a quick flight to Toulouse, hired a van and 1hr 20 mins to venue. Very straight forward. All the fishing gear was there upon arrival. Gilles and Sharon are so friendly and this certainly makes the trip. Best fishing trip we have had by a long way.
