Worth Every Penny

Jessie, Jeanette and Dave Callow: Worth Every Penny

By Jessie, Jeanette and Dave Callow on 27 August 2016

Oakview Lake is worth every penny. All round superb, chilled-out family fishing holiday. Beautiful lake and surroundings with hard fighting fish in excellent condition. Lovely, comfortable gite with everything you need. Martin and Shirley are top notch hosts and are a lovely couple. We have already booked our next visit, which speaks for itself.

Fishing tactics: coconut and krill boilies both caught fish. Fished from the home swims and caught fish on hard spots on both sides and in front of the island.

Caught 16 carp: 2 x 40s, 7 x 30s, 7 x 20s. The two 42lb mirrors came off Jessie's rod and were landed with the help of Dad. Jessie also caught 2 pike, a grass carp (11lb) and countless silver fish with her own float rod.
