43.01 – who says carp don’t feed in the winter! We arrived at the lake at 7.30am just before it got light. There were three of us fishing, Myself (Mark Lambert) the owner (John Lambert) and our friend Gavin Rose. Just as it became light enough to boat the rods out I put my three […]
Trevor Reece asks: Which bait and size do you think I need for my Laroussi trip in April? Shaun Harrison answers: Definitely take some Rahja Spice with you. It has been a firm favourite at Laroussi for many years, particularly in the smaller sizes too. The Laroussi fish like 10mm’s but it is worth mixing the […]
It has been a real pleasure to watch Villefonds fish grow into some real monsters and it has been discussed for a long time about which fish are going to be the next biggest caught so I decided to compile a list detailing the top 5 to date, as at January 2012; 1. BIG JOHN […]
A winter caught 40 from Villefond January 11th saw myself (Mark Lambert Villefond fishery manager) and a friend get a chance to fish on Villefond for a quick 24hr session. I had been feeding the fish on our brilliant new range of boillies all winter and knew from previous catch reports the fish loved it […]

Following on from the 86 carp stocked in November the owners of Blue Lake have just added another 186 carp including; 6 x 40’s, 80 x 30’s and 100 x 20’s. Plus a handful of large grass carp to mid 30’s. Adding the two stockings to test angler estimates of original stock, we estimate that […]
Well finally our first year at Molyneux is drawing to a close. Helen and I are busy making ready to head back to the UK to spend Christmas and the New Year with friends and family. It has been a fantastic experience, one which we wouldn’t have swapped for the world. We have worked very […]
Molyneux in its Autumn colours The Molyneux bailiff, Wally, tells us about an October overnighter; It has been rare this year for the lake to be devoid of anglers, so when recently I found myself with the lake to myself it was too good an opportunity to miss. We were busy strimming brush and cutting […]
Another great Boux video – see the June ’08 one posted on December 7th. This guy knows how to make a carp fishing video!
Big John The 2011 season at Villefond has seen some really amazing fish and some really interesting characters on our banks. The lake was pretty solidly booked all year and despite the big problem in some areas of France from the lack of rain, our lake still exceeded all expectations. The lake experienced the full […]

This week the Main Lake at Mas Bas welcomed two new arrivals, a lovely 25lb mirror and a very pretty 17lb 8oz red carp. Lets hope they both settle in well to add even more excitement to next seasons fishing.
Now that the last of our Bletiere guests has left it’s time to start the big clear up and make sure we’re ready to go next spring with everything looking good and refreshed. Lesley has started to get the veg plot cleared and get the cover over it to kill off the weeds and get […]
Sander Beijderwellen’s Oct 2011 session at Mas Bas. This is part 1 – you can watch all 4 videos here.
With the temperature still up around 20° in the afternoon, the south west remains the warmest area of France. Making the most of this Indian summer Gilles decided to tackle a big outside job here at Mas Bas and called in Ivan the tree ‘hairdresser’. He definitely made his mark on the trees around willow […]
