Details of your catches:

We had 41 fish between 4 anglers over the week. Just fishing days. Mostly mirrors, a few grass carp and a couple of commons.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Basic rigs with 20mm boilies, fishing the gravel bed on the far bank produced the most fish.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, the facilities were excellent.

Were you happy with them?

Very happy with the facilities.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes. Would be ideal for a couple of families, or a group with their own rooms. Cooking facilities were great, we mostly barbecued because the weather was so good, but kitchen had everything.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes. Giles and Laurie were really helpful with where to fish and Sharon had all the other stuff covered. Rods and reels we hired were good quality.

Great fishing, relaxing, a fantastic escape from reality.

Incredible weeks fishing again at Mas Bas, I had 151 fish for the week fishing days only. Biggest 37lb. Fished boilies and pellet all week. Catch included 3 koi. No issue with poisson chat at all.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Bait boat to far margin, couldn’t get the boat back with out the rod ripping off. 90% of fish on this one rod, 20mm hookbaits.

General Comments:

Good to see Sharon and Gilles (plus dogs) after such a long time, nice to catch up and chat. Always on hand to make sure everything is as it should be. Thank you for looking after us.

Details of your catches:

Out of 65 fish caught, we had 29 double figure carp (10-19lbs), 24x 20lb+ carp & 5x 30lb+ carp, the biggest being 36.5lb!
8x Grass Carp (biggest being 24lb) and 4x Koi carp (biggest being 18lb) the Koi was a dream to catch purely due to how beautiful they were.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Casting to the margins and fishing at the bottom of the lake were very productive. 2 of the 30lb+ carp came from the middle of the lake so, after asking for the best spots, Gilles’ response was “in the lake”, which couldn’t be more accurate.

We had 25kg of pellet which work very well to get the fish feeding. That and a good spread of boillies. Fishing a snowman with a yellow 12mm pop up on a 18mm “The Krill” tuff ones hookbait were the tactics which paid off well. We fish mainly pink pop ups at home but they didn’t work as well.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Everything was provided, we were always asked if there was anything else we needed but there never was.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, bed was lovely and comfortable, kitchen great to cook in and seating area outside was really comfortable.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Absolutely, this was a dream destination for us and I am sure this would be the case for most anglers.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, all information was provided and we were kept throughly up to date with all the COVID changes. We were initially renting a car which we put as our vehicle, but changed our mind and there was no issues changing our option to a van.

General Comments:

Gilles and Sharon were lovely, we arrived later than expected so everything was made ready for us for our arrival. They came over the next day to see how our journey was and if we needed anything. Really lovely couple who made us feel welcome.
Prior to us booking, we read lots of reviews and many said that the poisson chat was an issue however we didn’t have that experience. Over 6 days we only had 2 and that was due to not putting the shrink wrap onto our bait. If you have the shrink wrap then you won’t have a problem.
