So, you knew I was going, but how did I get on, over on the Ebro? Well, I'm going to keep a little bit back for articles (which I'll post the links to as soon as they're online), but we had a brilliant week with Carl of Rio Ebro Angling and we did catch plenty of fish! Although the catfish took a lot of convincing to feed though and the "Charlie Boorman" tactics were almost resorted to! But, as with all the best stories, it all came good in the end...
Between us we caught 11 catfish, several zander and - in just one afternoon - over 50 quality roach to specimen proportions. We fished for 6 days using baits & lures from boat & bank, so all in all there's a lot for me to write about!
The related articles will be in two parts, the first covering the zander, roach and carp fishing and the second covering all things catfish-related. The articles should be appearing in the December 2011 & January 2012 issues of Angling Star, with "director's cut" extended versions appearing on FishingMagic soon. We also took a bit of video footage, including some underwater video, which I still need to edit together before putting it on my YouTube channel. Once they're up I'll post the links on here.
For now, below are a few "teaser" photos of the action and the fish, just to prove we didn't blank! ;)
One last thing, I happened to notice last week that the total visitors to this blog had topped 15,000 in less than two years, which I think is pretty good going considering I don't have anything even approaching profound to say! Good work folks, I hope you enjoy what you see here.
