Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We tried every way possible, Bottom bait, Wafter, Snowman, Pop-up topped off with plastic corn. I told the lads to cage the baits but they were still getting through that " The poison chat"... One evening in particular i put out 3 freshly caged baits all on my spots and when i reeled them in 36 hours later there was no bait left so effectively not even fishing, not good with the money your paying..

Were the facilities what you expected?

General Comments:

Overall there was 5 of us for the first week and only 3 for the second week, We all spent a fortune as it was my 50th birthday to get the two week's, This venue is by far my favourite i've fished in France and i was gutted for the lads that come with me as we were all plagued by Poison Chat for the first week.. Nothing worse than paying £3500 for lake exclusive and all you get is the poison chat, saying that there was a couple of lovely carp caught. I know Mehdi is trying his best to clear them but i feel for the money your paying that some serious work needs to be done, This is not a personal criticism as i absolutely love the venue as Mehdi know's all to well. The second week was very hard fishing with weather conditions up and down with thunder and lighting but as we all know "That's fishing"!!!!! Can't wait to go back in 2026 but hopefully them little critters are almost gone, spoiling a very lovely lake in my opinion....

Details of your catches:

So myself and my Dad fished Old Oaks for 7 nights landing a total of 5 carp, I managed 42lbs mirror, 43lbs mirror and a monster 61.5lbs. My Dad managed 41lbs mirror and a 51lbs, hard fishing but well worth it

General Comments:

Very hot week 36 degrees most days, hard but that’s fishing. Worked extra hard for the one fish then on the sat weather turned. Storms and rain and overcast ideal for next party. So I booked 3 days on Mehdis other lake laurrousi and very active got a day left but had a nice upper 20 common. And hooked the big cat twice, wish I had full week here. But that was off the cuff anyway Angling lines sorted everything as usual that’s why I always book, they cater for my odd durations which are normally outside sat to sat.
