Details of your catches:

6 mirrors from 25.0 to 37.0. Approximatly 700 Poisson chat

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Plastic corn over parti blend

Were the facilities what you expected?

Worse

Were you happy with them?

No, the facilities in the cabin were excellent, but the pegs were dangerous, soil had been put on top and not compacted down, making them muddy and slippery. Peg 4 collapsed at the right hand corner causing a knee injury to one of our party

General Comments:

The lake is infested with Poisson chat, they hit everything that went into the water, a 22mm boilie would last 10 - 15 minutes. Netting and armour tubing did not work either. 700 in a week is a bit much.

Details of your catches:

37 fish in total, biggest 34.07. I had 19 my biggest was 34.4. Had 10 x 30's

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Using bait boat to far margins, then going round and dropping parti blend in on top. The poisson chat were attacking everything we put in. Plastic corn kept them at bay.

General Comments:

This is a great venue. Mehdi had done some work on the swims and after 2 days of rain they were a bit muddy, but once they dried out it was fine. Supermarket close by. Mehdi is a great guy.

Details of your catches:

We had an incredible week's hauling taking no less than 67 catp between us including 27 carp over 30lb! My mate Darren bagged a 38lb common, my other mate Clint a common of 37lb whilst I managed two different 35lb mirrors! We also had some Grass Carp to over 25lb!

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Quest Baits Pineapple Crush boilies meshed in tights scored really well for us as did Dynamite Monster Tiger Nut boilies. We fished over large beds of particles and found the baitboats to be a massive edge.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Top class

Were you happy with them?

More than happy.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Without a doubt and I already have!

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Once again without doubt.

General Comments:

Old Oaks is a class venue for the angler who likes to get plenty of runs. You better be fit though because the action can be hectic and the carp fight harder than any I have ever caught before!

Details of your catches:

1 x 38.0, 1 x 32.0, 1 x 30.0, 2 x 28's, 1 x 6.0. The ewather was so hot the lake just wasn't fishing. Mehdi said it was exactly the same on Laroussi.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Mehdi is fantastic, the weather was between 30 and 34 degrees so affected the fishing. Had a great time anyway
