CATFISH AND CARP PELLETS

 Catfish and carp have finished their annual appointment with spawning and this is determined by the temperature of the water, depending on the year, the level of the reservoir and that temperature can vary the dates in a few weeks.

This year the spawning of carp and catfish has been brought forward by almost a month compared to what has been normal in other years, the illogical temperatures on those dates, the lack of flow, a very low reservoir level for what is usually the case in spring They have meant that everything has gone very quickly and the season of fishing for pellets has been brought forward compared to other years.

But the fish are still there and pellet fishing is still quite effective and relaxed fishing if you know how to choose the fishing spot, now more than ever due to the scarcity of water it is important to choose the fishing spot well.

These are some photos of the first day of fishing for pellets of the season in which some fish came out, including a catfish that easily exceeded the 2M barrier.

CATFISH AND ZANDER FISHING

 Casting catfish and zander fishing becomes much easier at certain times and we are on those dates when you know that doing things right will bring fish to the boat.

The beginning of the season is the best time of the year for this modality if you know the fishing place, adapting the technique and equipment it is possible to capture both species in the same day, just by changing the place, modality, equipment and lures.

Just as during the winter the absence of life seems to be the predominant note although it really is not like that and there is life underwater, at this time the Ebro teems with life everywhere, it is something that jumps out at you, active fish and a lot of possibilities in sight that the Ebro offers to sport fishermen.

If you want to spend a pleasant day fishing with lures fishing from a boat with the certainty that fish will pass through your hands and a "masterclass" on how to fish for zander vertically, techniques, presentation, tricks, etc... this is it. it's your place.

CATFISH AND ZANDER FISHING GUIDE

 We are approaching one of the best times for fishing big fish, catfish and zander are no exception, the nights are no longer so long and there are days when the temperature can be pleasant and the fish know it.

On the one hand, the big zander prepare for their annual spawning cycle, they look for the best areas that are visited by them year after year, it is as simple or as complicated as knowing them and only carefully fishing those productive areas, these are dates in which they can get a few dozen fish on the boat if you fish in the right place.

Many years fishing the waters of the Ebro river and many hours invested after these species and many conclusions drawn over the years make what is complicated seem easy.

The catfish for its part begins to show signs of activity and the big catfish are the first to wake up, these are months of few but big fish and one of my favorite times to fish, few fishermen, few boats, tranquility and active fish, I don't know you can ask for more...

RECORD CATFISH FROM SPAIN WITH LURE

 Last April 3 As many of you already know, the one that almost certainly the largest catfish caught by spinning that has been taken to this day in Spain with 2.67m, passed through my hands again.

I knew months ago that Sergio Rodríguez, a teammate from the RELAX SPAIN team, came to try his luck with the Ebro catfish with the aim of catching a fish over 2M, on Friday and Saturday I could not accompany him, my friend Rubén did, playing a few fish, but none of good size, harsh and difficult conditions, hellish, cold and gusts of wind of 90km/h.

On Sunday, although it was very cold, the weather improved and the gusts were not so strong, my intention from the beginning, as I told Sergio, was to fish for monster territory!!!

Fate provided that there were two opportunities, the first after 5 minutes of combat the fish won, making a "no-line" when we almost gave up everything for lost a RELAX kopyto did his job again and began an agonizing fight of 20 -25 minutes that we went down and then went up about 200m up the river, it was seen from the first moment that what he did was a real MONSTER, it was a matter of patience and doing things well.

When, after 20-25 minutes of suffering, the fish came to the surface, the first thing I told Sergio was, from 2.50m up, it was a real mass and the head already tells you the size of the fish, that was the last haul of the day, the job was done.

Congratulations to Sergio, for that RECORD of 2.67m

CATFISH PELLET FISHING IN THE EBRO RIVER

 Like every year when the Ebro catfish finish their annual reproduction appointment, they seek to recover from spawning, heal the injuries produced and accumulate lost reserves again, these are the best days for pellet catfish fishing.

The end of May and June mark the beginning of this fishing system that lasts throughout the summer, a type of fishing that is really effective for fishing these giants, sometimes having almost consecutive bites.

Pellets are a type of feed made from mainly fish meal, very rich in fat and protein and that catfish quickly associate with food. It really is fish fattening feed adapted to fishing, a food that is easy to get and with a minimum effort and that in the Ebro the catfish have been used to eating for years, there being days of scandal in terms of fish activity.

*Catfish fishing with pellets is most effective in the hottest months of summer, from May to the end of October.

In these hot months the catfish look for the deepest areas of the river where the water temperature is a few degrees lower, that is where we must look for them with these baits.

It is a type of fishing that if done well and fished judiciously is very effective, and there may be times of having several practically consecutive bites.

*Catfish fishing with pellets or catfishing is quite similar to carpfishing, so it is possible to combine the capture of both species (carp and catfish) at the same time and in the same place, just by varying a series of parameters, equipment , montages, etc.

*Setting catfish fishing is possibly the most extreme for fishing these big fish, if fishing for these "giants" is already extreme, doing it with more or less light spinning or casting equipment makes it almost in epic.

For catfish fishing with lures, the best time is spring, from the beginning of March to June and also September and October if the conditions are favorable.
