5 Star Fishing Holiday With 5 Star Accommodation
By Minne and Wendy de Swart on
It was great to be back. We missed our dates last year because we left it too late to book. That's the price you pay for this popular venue, where both the fishing and accommodation are 5 star. We had to cut the holiday short when we were informed that our fast cat ferry home from France was cancelled due to storm forecasts.
Fishing: Weather was hot, with the thermometer hitting 39 degrees during the week. We treat our trip here as a holiday, so only fished days until Thursday. Still managed to catch 2 forties.
Tactics: Fished from the home swim using crunchy coconut boilies over pellet. The fish were caught on the left margin and the bay to the right of the island. A 44lb mirror took the line round the aerator, so went into the water to follow it round and get it netted.
Catch: 2 x 40s (mirrors at 44lb and 46lb 7oz), plus 3 smaller commons to 25lb. It's great to see the Oakview fish growing on.
