Am suspecting Spain to go into virus lock-down soon so had a final trip out to sea before my fishing opportunities close. Was really hoping to see Tuna but unfortunately they just don´t seem to be here yet so dropped some sabikis to the bottom in order to see what small stuff was around. All seems well down there as I found it alive with the usual culprits… Red Bream, Scad, Blotched Pickerel, Red Gurnard, Bogue, Mackerel and my very own Arch Nemesis – the Greater Weever…
That was the thinking Oli and myself had in deciding to start 2020 with a quick trip down to Adlington Canal. With hailstones blowing sideways we didn´t last long but taking a small Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow for a swim kick started the year for me. Now, back to BCN and out into the sea…
Out in the sun on a really calm sea this morning. More Bonito & Little Tuna around, all taken on small Williamson trolling lures…
Has been extremely windy these last few days but I managed to get out this morning. Sea clarity was quite poor and I couldn’t find any Dorado but did manage this stonking Bonito which was too long to fit in the fish box. Gonna eat well tonight…
Slippy fingers…
Tom came out with us today but boy did we have an angry sea. Holding the boat steady and catching anything in 2M swells proved to be pretty tough but we did well I guess and came back with fish on the deck. Luck certainly had a part in it…
October. By far the best month for both the weather and the fishing here in the Western side of the Meditteranean.
Slipped out for a quick session this morning (work in the afternoon) and just lost count. As I recall… Amberjack no more than 500m from the harbour entrance, a substantial 6lb Dorado next around the 1km mark then out at sea too many small Tuna to remember. Bonito, Little Tuna, Small BFT everywhere.
Easy. Just like this…
Tomorrow is not a half day at work. Its a full day off work. Lets see what comes…
Out again this morning but not in the calmest of seas. Pulled around some small Williamson trolling lures which tempted 6 Amberjack & a solitary Mackerel. Also tempted 4 Dorado casting small jigs at buoys & floating debris. They’re getting bigger..!
