It also helps if your are not as fat as Brian, then the boat won't wobble
so
much!

Hi Barry

I've fished the mighty Ebro and what a daunting expanse of water it is!
My
advice would be to contact one of the many guides out there. Although, as
I
understand it, these fish are caught regularly from the bank using
pellets
and such, by far the best way is to drift down river in a boat trailing
float-fished, locally caught, Mullet and Eel live-baits. Getting the
experience and knowledge of a local guide is, IMHO money well spent. Hope
this helps!
------------------------------------

Thanks Brian

I would take a guide whereever I went...........too easy to waste time
getting things wrong.
Do you or anyone else have experience of fishng other areas of Spain .I was
thinking about the rivers and lakes of Andalucia and Extremadura
Rumours of 25lb+ barbel are rather exciting !!!!!

Many thanks

Barry

I spent a week on the Ebro delta a month or so ago and would highly
reccomend it. It has produced cats to over 200lb and the number of mullet
down there is amazing. With the unlimited food supply and almost zero
pressure it won't be long before the delta region consistently produced fish
bigger than the middle reaches. There are also some *very* large Crucians
down there.....which the cats really seem to like

As for the Barbel they do look rather tempting - and go a lot more than
25lb! I understand Pete Staggs runs a guiding service and targets them -
might be worth googling him up.
