Took bait over with us, but when we didn't catch 1st week we found a local tackle shop and bought some boilies from there. It is unusual not to catch well at this venue

Keep the noise down! don't scare the fish away. Fishing throughout the night. Most fish caught near the central lily pads on main lake. The biggest fish were caught on Quest baits 20mm Smokey Fish boilies. We used size 1 microbarbed hooks with 4oz Grippa leads.

General Comments:

Giles and Lesley were very aimable and helpful. The venue is delightful and scenic. Large supermarkets in Agen are half an hour drive (E.Leclerc, Intermarche, Geant, Carrefour)so there is plenty of choice. Do note that they close on sundays. Buzet wine is good! There are 2 fishing tackle shops on the outskirts of Agen "Rayonne de Peche" is opposite Intermarche and the other shop is close to the Geant supermarket - behind the bowling alley. These shops are ideal for hooks, pva etc. We flew to Bordeaux and hired equipment and rods from Giles. We took our own reels and alarms and just managed to keep within the weight allowance! flight was 1 hour 25 minutes from Birmingham. Journey to Mas bas 2 hours. We would certainly visit again.

Details of your catches:

The weather was so hot, the fish weren't having it. There was a aerator put in on the last 2 days of our holiday, then i started catching. Caught my PB a 40lb carp on the last day just a couple of hours before leaving. There was already an aerator in the main lake so the people on there were catching.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Once the aerator went in the fish started moving and then i started catching. It's a shame they didn't sort this out until the last minute.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes

Were you happy with them?

Yes, apart from the fact that i was told there was sky tv in the accomodation. This was broke,, and this was part of the reason i booked this venue, as it was a holiday for my son more than anything.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, if the problems were sorted

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, have been with you before and am going with you again next year.

General Comments:

I feel a bit like i was mis sold this holiday. I had already had my fishing holidays for the year, and wanted something for my young lad. I was told that there were other young families booked on the lake this week, but it turns out the youngest was 19. The venue offers a service of having bikes to use, but all of these were old and past it so not really useable. Other than that it is a nice venue, and i have been before.
