Details of your catches:

We had a total of 72 Carp over two weeks (Mirror, Common & Koi) including 3 x 40's, 42.6, 42.2 & 42.1 - 6 x 30's 34.7, 34.1, 32.14, 32.2 30.3 & 30.1 - 28 x 20's and 35 to just under 20 including 3 beautiful Koi Carp! We also had 26 Grass Carp, 3 Tench & 1 Black Bass!

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We found single 20mm bottom baits fished on size 6 long shank x hooks on 10 to 12 inch n- trap soft coated hook links fished with in line 3oz leads. We found it best to use a small scattering of 20mm boilies baiting with about 10 to 12 baits for each fish casting to a different area's when the runs slowed up. We also used back leads & flying back leads to keep things pinned down & to help avoid too many tangles when a fish was hooked. We found the far margin (to the left from the house ) by the green & red tree a good area - and between the jetty & aerator but also caught close in when these areas went quiet. Also caught two float fishing - a Koi in the shallows and a long common hooked about a foot out by the green tree we had been fishing across to. We only fished during the day and although I got up earlier than the rest of the family most of the action was from about 10am till 5pm - with runs often at the hottest time of the day! Great fun!

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities were fantastic! A great house with loads of space although we spent all our time outside as the terrace and view of the lake are just amazing. The pool was great and right next to the lake. There is a level lawn from the terrace to the lake edge where we set up a badminton net. There is also a great bar-be-que which we cooked 90% of our meals on. It really was perfect for a family holiday with some great fishing!

General Comments:

I have been to France fishing for a number of years and have always been a bit wary about trying to combine a family holiday with fishing but the whole family enjoyed every minute at Mas Bas so much that we only went out once in 14 days! All the family caught some great carp with my son William landing a 42! Tom had a superb 30 Common & my wife Paula had a 32lb on her birthday. Our daughter joined us for the 2nd week and caught carp to 27lb and a beautiful Koi. Many thanks to Leslie & Gilles who were very welcoming, and to Angling Lines especially to Bridget for all the information before we went and to Julie who rearranged our return ferry crossing at short notice.

Details of your catches:

22 carp to 41lb 14oz. 40 grass carp. 6 tench. 4 sturgeon.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Double raja spice boilies with a scattering of boilies around the hookbait

Were the facilities what you expected?

the facilites were better than expected, the house is unbelieveably close to the lake which provides convience for a excellent family hoiday as everyone is based all in the same area. the house has everything you could need i would say it is in a rustic manner that is suited to its surroundings, which are stunning you really are in the middle of the countryside here with stunning views from all around the property.
the pool is lovely although a little cold however you soon get used to it and its refreshing when its hot. the bbq is also very good and again it is all in one area at the front of the house. overall i have nothing to complain about.

Were you happy with them?

yes exceptionally however the only three things that would make it perfect would be wi-fi and also a 'sky english' tv package and maybe a heated pool.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

yes without a doubt

General Comments:

very good first experience booking with angling lines-big thanks to bridget for all her help and the bottle of wine she left for us, we will definetley be going back to mas bas.

Details of your catches:

Fished minimally through out the week and did not night fish at all. 5 carp to mid twenties in total plus a sturgeon and a turtle! Only 1 angler but did lose a much bigger mirror close to the net :-(

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Very poor on the tactic front as only fished odd hours, never at night and no pre baiting. The fish were all over the place and any angler addressing the fishing seriously would have done well.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes

Were you happy with them?

I love this place and return year after year. There is so much to do for the non anglers and it really is a place to relax in.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes. definitely

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, obviously as I own half the business! I know we do a good job :-)
