Fishing good but the smaller grass carp bothered us a bit and I had four or five sturgeon. We had 15 to 20 carp to 33lb

General Comments:

We stayed in Lake House and as usual we have been here before 3 or 4 times it was wonderful. Gods back Garden. I would recommend this to anyone.

Details of your catches:

My catches were as follows: 17x Mirror Carp ranging from 11LB to 41Lb Most of the mirrors were mid 20's I broke my previous PB twice with both the Forties in the Lake, my previous best was 38lb 10oz. I also caught 8 x Commons from 14LB to 26LB I only fished 5 out of the 7 day's and only night fished until 1.00am, I think if you are willing to put more time in, you can expect to break 100 fish for the week (Prolific)Lake, both of them.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Quest Baits Rhaja Spice was the best bait to use, 20mm single or double tied tight to the hook, Gilles recommended size 4 or 2,1 hooks, I used size six, but did lose around 15-20 fish, 1 being a big one. I fished Lotus Lake, I fished tight to the Aerator and 1 either side. Hand fed around 15-20 boillies to each location, first thing in the morning, well when I got up 8.00am, around 3.00pm and then around 8.00 in the evening. It's worth making a note of when the Aerator comes on and off, as the fish seem to switch on/off. 8.30 in the evening is a really good time and 3.30 in the afternoon and anytime after 11.30 in the evening. I used 12LB X-Line fast sinking line, I would recommend using 16LB X-Line as I got snapped off quite a few times. If you are going to use back leads, can I suggest you take plenty with you, as a group we must have lost in excess of 35 leads. The fish do like to thrash around, especially the Grass Carp on the Main Lake. I used 25LB soft coated hook links Jelly Wyre, around 8

Lesley and Giles are on hand to help out, as and when required. Try the restaurants out that Lesley and Giles have recommended, as they are fantastic and quite reasonably priced, especially lunch time. It's really really difficult to say anything bad about this venue, there's something for every member of the family, even if you don't want to fish. My only negative comment is the journey to get to Mas Bas, if you can cope with the long drive, there is no better fishing venue in France, it's an anglers paradise(Heaven). We will be booking to go back in April and August 2011. Many Thanks to Lesley and Giles for a fantastic holiday From Lance, Gaynor and Lucy
