Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

best tactics where snowman presentations..15mm bottom and a 15mm pop-up.both Questbaits Smokey fish and Rahja spice worked well.stalking them in the shallows during daytime work very well..( the 39 lb and hte big common both from that end.)

Mirror 47.4 plus several commons in low doubles

General Comments:

Water temperatures were very high which slowed fishing but the fish caught were all in good condition.I'm not convinced this is a hard venue,more that the fish stocks are somewhat below what is claimed.Very few fish to be seen,even in good spotting conditions. The presence of koi to Lotus Lake is a pity.They belong in a garden pond rather than a fshing venue in my opinion. Facilities pretty good.Very peaceful venue and a stunning location.Great for a family holiday,which is what I was doing,but not a venue that would tempt me for 7 days solid fishing.

Details of your catches:

I had 43.8 mirror + 8 good doubles both common and mirrors + 30+ small grassies 4-10lb all from big lake,Another guest Paul acres fishing lotus lake had a 48lb mirror + several other smaller fish..

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Snowman fishmeal/fruit over pellet/partiblend presentation towards far bank/island accounted for most takes, big fish came close to house at night in deeper water..Only fished 2 whole nights/some mornings and evenings as a 'family' holiday!!

Stunning venue in a lovely area & we had great weather. Lesley and Gilles are fantastic caring people and Mas Bas is a superb option for the 'family' carper. A long drive but absolutely worth it for a small slice of heaven. I have used Angling Lines a few times... they are a top company and very helpful. BIG thank you.

Mas Bas is definitely worth the long drive down to the south of France, when you get there you are at the bottom of a valley with no one around then you get greeted by Lesley & Gilles who are the best hosts I have come across. The House is well equipped with everything you will need and the fishing is great sport. Gilles has a good section of carp gear to rent out and a freezer full of all the Quest Bait range to buy as you need it.
