Went 4/5 years ago,4 of us fished,started of on boilies which was quite slow,
On the Tuesday was advised to feed and use their double maize (don't know if they still sell it) but it was a great change we bagged up all week,and only used their boat to bait up with👍😎

Maxime does a nice selection of bait, their choices are all on the website, but normal stuff. 3 different boilies, hemp, maize, party mix, chilli mix, hemp pellet (not sure he was going to continue with this), pellets..... All seems well prepared

Yes just 2 of us went and with no one fishing it the weed had got really out of hand .It was difficult but we caught some good fish wasn't too many I can't remember exactly but we both caught the same 60lb mirror within 48 hrs and also had a mid,60 grassy .It was all boat work impossible to use the baitboat like previous trips .We used a scope and basically fished the clearest spots we could find which were very few especially in the sides .We couldn't row for the first 20 or 30 yards it was that bad but did some serious raking and Phil said they were going to sort it

No we used cell which we have done really well on there but have also done well on some trips using their maize when we haven't had room to take to much bait.I would be perfectly happy just using their maize

We were not happy it was so bad but had no choice but to get on with it .Playing fish at night or should I say extracting fish was scary you could hardly move the boat and it was nearly turning over stuck in the weed but eventually got to grips with it .The first fish my mate got in the arms he was moaning in the boat that it was impossible and dangerous and took forever to get over the fish and eventually ball it out .If I was offered a free trip when it was like that I would refuse it was not enjoyable at all .A few people mentioned it on the Goncourt site but we're savaged by the site bumlickers who actually had no idea how bad it was .Those in the know know exactly what I mean .Pascale's notoriously weedy lake was a breeze compared to this purely down to the type of weed that was bulging above the surface
