Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fishing far bank at bottom of shelf. All fish caught between 6ft - 8ft

General Comments:

Great lake and seeing Mehdi is always a pleasure. Highly recommended

Details of your catches:

Over the week we landed 22 fish. Chat were very active so proving difficult to bait spots.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Wrapped baits with a small plastic topper fishing far margins. Bait boat is an advantage as alot of fish fell as soon as the bait was dropped.

Medhi is such a welcoming host and great guy who is happy to give you any help or advice whilst fishing.

Details of your catches:

3 x 50lb
1 high 40lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Usual fishing to the far margin, armor mesh hook baits as chats were active although we found Quest bait's"Rahja spice" pop ups not on the chat's menu of choice.
High pressure for most of the week so made fishing difficult although i broke my PB twice so happy with that.

Have been to Old Oaks 5 times, so as expected.

General Comments:

Mehdi is working hard to add some very nice linear carp to both Old Oaks and Laroussi and look forward to being able to add some of these to another trip's tally

Details of your catches:

12 carp in total including 3x 50, 5x 40, 3x30 and the long common at 64lb.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Poisson chat a real nuisance so rubber/plastic baits necessary plus protected boiles. All swims produced but fishing was very slow until weds when it picked up considerably with the cooler weather.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Nice shower and ample fridge and freezer.

Were you happy with them?

Yes very happy.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Mehdi is a very nice man and a font of knowledge and nothing is too much trouble for him.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Well worth a visit and would definitely recommend.
