Well what a strange place Morocco is..
Morocco carp fishing whom have had soul rights to Bin El Ouidsne have been refused the lease and will be closed as off June!

Sam, I have not been surprised by the recent goings on, over there. Like you said ...money talks, no doubt.
Just feel sorry for Mark and his team after 9 years of work

As per the 3oth April update on their facebook page and website, I f anyone is not aware, and was planning a trip over there, see he below statement.


MOROCCOCARPFISHING IS REALLY SORRY TO ANNOUNCE YOU THAT THE UNOFFICIAL RUMOUR” HAS UNFORTUNATELY BECOME OFFICIAL.
INDEED, ON THE 20th OF APRIL MARC RECEIVED AN OFFICIAL LETTER FROM BENI MELLAL AUTHORITIES REPORTING TO HIM THAT THE LEASE 3-6-9 WAS NOT RENEWED FOR THE COMPANY MOROCCOCARPFISHING.
LIKE ALL FRIENDS AND FAITHFUL CUSTOMER OF MARC, WE DEEPLY REGRET THIS TURNAROUND SITUATION OF BENI MELLAL AUTHORITIES.
FOR "ADDICTED" BEO CUSTOMERS, AND WE KNOW THEY ARE MANY..., THERE ARE STILL SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO FISH THE LAKE BUT ONLY TILL THE 30th OF JUNE, 2016.
THEREFORE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AGENT VERY FAST TO ARRANGE AN ULTIMATE SESSION.
FROM 01/07/2016 ONWARDS, ALL EUROPEAN MOROCCOCARPFISHING AGENTS WHO HELPED YOU DURING THE LATEST 9 YEARS WILL DEFINITELY STOP THEIR RELAY ACTIVITIES.
ANY PERSON WILLING TO MAKE A FISHING SESSION AT BEO AFTER THE 1st OF JULY WILL DO THAT AT THEIR OWN RISKS AS A LOT OF NEGATIVE INFORMATIONS WERE REPORTED ABOUT FUTURE RESPONSIBLES/MANAGERS (?).
ON BEHALF OF MARC, WE ALSO THANK ALL THE NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE RENDED POSSIBLE THAT BEAUTIFUL ADVENTURE.
HOWEVER DO KEEP AN EYE FROM TIME TO TIME TO MOROCCOCARPFISHING WEBSITE ... AS SOMETHING TELLS US THAT THE WHEEL IS TURNING ...
SOMETIMES A STEP BACK IS USEFUL TO JUMP HIGHER...

There you have it, in full.

spoke with Anton recently and all he had to say was watch this space, had a few trips over there and loved it.
Was planning a couple of trips over later in the year but may delay booking anything till there's a bit of feedback that's from real people.
Cracking venue, and if you have not been keep it on your bucket list👍👍

i agree, and must admit i feel its pretty harsh to see a company thats been set up nicely, providing great fishing trips to so many, suddenly close down! i do feel for Marc in that sense, however having been there in the early days when he ruthlessly went out his way to close down the company I was working for, i cant help but feel karma has had its say....

All this could have been resolved years ago, if he'd excepted another company could also opperate on Bin El Ouidane, but greed got in the way as he wanted soul rights to the fishing, which on 15,000 acres is a hell of alot of water for one company to have rights over.....

Seems he got out bidded at the last minute, when he felt no one knew the lease was up for grabs again, and as the game goes, the highest bidder won.............

So the old company is back in the game again, i'll be heading out soon to check over hows its being set up, and hopefully they'll go onto to providing some great trips for those wishing to head out there..

THE LEASE WILL NEXT BE RENEWED IN 9 YEARS TIME

EDIT One thing I noticed too !! it says a boat and sonar between two

this is something not acceptable to me as when we went we said we need a boat each and they just said yes of course
as picture the situation your pal is in the boat out in the lake depths a few hundred feet deep and 300 yards from the bank

gets in trouble your stuck on the bank unable to help him ?

Thanks Terry
What a shame they dont have the lovely cool tents I slept in last time ? a traditional bivvy would be a nightmare in that heat the lot we went with had all the right gear and was set up perfect loved the way you could move anytime and they would do it all for you hope these will get it right too

I've also been watching this location with interest over the past couple of years. And to be honest Sam's response sums it up and I wouldn't have blamed him if he had voiced his opinion more strongly.

With a water of this size, surely having more than one operator would be good for the customer and competition ? There is also the fact that in the past locals have harvested the fish for consumption and I know (no names mentioned) certain persons tried to do all they could to reduce this happening.

As said hopefully all parties that have an interest in this location (past and present) will understand that by working together in the future is the way to go....

totally agree If BOTH companies could split and share the lake I think that would be better for us punters
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
