General Comments:

We started the week using fishmeal boilies & pellet & had quite a bit of trouble with the Poisson Chat. Changed to Quest Pineapple Crush boilies and hardly had another Chat all week - they deffinitely work in detering the Chat. Main tactic was baitboat to far side features, fishing 20mm boilie (topped with small 12mm plastic yellow boilie) over Quest Garlic Feast particle mix. Used quite a bit of bait (15kg boilies, 30kg particle). Our advice would be to stay off the fishmeal (pellet or boilie) if you want to avoid the Poisson Chat. Setting was absolutely beautiful - to have this lake to yourself really is a carp anglers dream & we unreservedly recommend it. See my article for more details.
