Brief details of your catches: We have just returned from our holiday to Margot last week and have to say that the whole group thought the lake and fishing was superb. We caught some excellent fish including Carp to over 40lb as well as catfish to 39lb including a stunning albino cat at 39lb 2oz. This is a venue that we all really enjoyed and will be looking to return, probably in 2010 as we alternate between one other venue. will now have to add Margot to one of my favorite venues.

What did you find were the best tactics/baits: 

Were the facilities what you expected? Although the lodge was superb and the storage facilities was excellent for bait and food the

Were you happy with them? Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend? Yes

Would you recommend our services to a friend? Yes

General comments: The Boats, we only had 1 that was working properly, Mr Bigot did come and fix another one but this had a hole in the bottom so needed constant emptying!!! The Lodge Side Swims were quite dangerous as the stones they have used look like flint rocks from a quarry, I have actually sliced my big toe in 2 places when jumping out of my bivvy for a run at 2 in the morning, not bare foot I would like to add although I was only wearing flip flops!!! Also, swim 3 I think it was, directly in front of the lodge collapsed, we had a real downpour on Friday and one of the group got out of his bivvy to find his rod pod had fallen through the swim, luckly the structure of the pod stopped it from falling in the lake. Then, I was landing a fish for him and the whole bank collapsed between the swim front build and the stones with a hole about 3 feet long appearing. these are only minor points and did nothing to spoil this fantastic venue and we will be looking to return, I just thought you should know.

Brief details of your catches: Around 25-30 fish in total. Biggest 34.0. Had just put my rods out and was setting up the bivvy, when i got a run, rods had been in for just 10 minutes, landed a 29.0 grass carp. Off to a great start.

What did you find were the best tactics/baits: All fish were caught in the day, most in the early morning. Fished with Tiger nut based baits. No bright coloured baits seemed to get any interest

Were the facilities what you expected? Yes

Were you happy with them? Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend? Yes

Would you recommend our services to a friend? Definitely, this was a real last minute holiday. I rang and booked on the Thursday and was on my way to France on the Saturday!! Everything went really smoothly and easily. No problems at all. Am looking through the brochure to find a venue for next year

General comments: Only thing i would have changed would be the ferry crossing i took. I went Dover/Calais would go Portsmouth/Caen to cut down driving time in future. Not many places open when we arrived, but went to the local shops and found our way around. The weather was unbelievably hot. This is a great venue, the owner is very nice. Really enjoyed this holiday

Name of customer:  Elie Godsi

Venue:  Margot

Date of holiday: 26-07-2008 to 02-08-2008

No. of persons fishing: 1

Brief details of your catches: Weather was very hot for most of the week so tough fishing conditions but managed 5 carp: two 30's including the stunning big golden koi at 36-2 and a 30-9. Also had two 20's and a 19. All takes came at night and in the early morning. Lost 3 others, two were small but lost a big fish due to hooklink material failure. Not happy about that at all!

What did you find were the best tactics/baits: Baiting heavily (half a big bucket spread over an area of about half a tennis court in size) with Quest Baits Garlic Feast with added hemp and tigers onto harder clay areas in open water. Time spent prodding about from a boat with a landing net pole was well worth it. Hookbaits were tigers and Quest Baits Pineapple Crush pop ups. I had some problems with poisson chats but only some of the time.

Were the facilities what you expected? Much better.

Were you happy with them? Completely. Lodge was fabulous - clean kitchen with microwave and oven, two fridges and a chest freezer. Showers were hot and powerful - lovely!

Would you recommend the venue to a friend? Without hesitation.

Would you recommend our services to a friend? Completely. Angling Lines are the best!

General comments: Weather was tough for fishing so had to work hard to catch despite the hot conditions. Well worth it for that gorgeous Koi alone. Laurent was a great host. He came round a few times to make sure we were OK and was a pleasure to chat to. My girlfriend came with me for the first time and loved it. She's happy camping anyway but the facilities were just superb. She now can't wait for the next trip. Some minor issues: The lake is nearer 20 acres not 12 as advertised. Many of the swims are built on hard gravel with large stones. Hard to get tent pegs in without a mallet and not that great for bivvy groundsheets. Luckily I was warned by a mate who'd been before to bring rod pods and a mallet. Perhaps Angling Lines could advise people of this in advance? Bark chippings on softer ground would be much better. None of this would deter me from going again or recommending the lake to others, top venue. Thanks to all at Angling Lines for organising the trip.
