Woodslake : Darryl Matthison feedback

Well as the season is now coming to a close and what a season it has been on domain de Goncourt !
Just a small write up on how my year went , so here goes !

 Well let's start on how many years I have fished Goncourt , maybe 10 years or more lost count , fished all lakes several times over, had ups and downs but this year has been the most interesting for me in my personal life and more to the point the fishing , let's start with my first trip to woods lake in April , had the pleasure of fishing with a good friend Phil Timmins on the new island with the new lodge and wow what a lodge , kicked off on the Saturday well let's say the Sunday lol fished Sunday to Wednesday ( no nights ) fished swim towards Pascale Briallart garden , had fish from the off the mark and they came thick and fast ( mostly carp) cut a long story short I came away catching 86 carps in 4 days ! and lets not get confused these were mirrors and commons , fished one rod as that was all that was possible , let me remind you this was the 10 year anniversary of Goncourt and we had a ball in the short time I was there , putting faces to names at long last , was a pleasure and a great laught to meet the southerners Steve Cole , James Harewood , etc etc unfortunately I had to leave the early hours of Thursday morning as my little boy was on his way :) , big thanks to phil for getting up with me and Pascale for getting in contact at 3 in the morning ( it was emotional ) .missed the celebrations on the Thursday night but hey ho my first child was on his way , ok so more recently I fished saule in August for the 3 rd time , was slow fishing ( 16 fish in total ) but wow they were fish , all over 40lb with my first 50 at 55lb rolling into my net ( bout time ) think I caught every 40 on the complex !!!!! So all I can say is that it's been my best season so far and thanks to everyone for making that season pascal , Maxime Briallart, Phil Timmins and the southern lot , let's see what next year has in stall as the complex gets better every year , much love darryl mattison ."
