Alicante / Valencia

Subject: Alicante / Valencia Tue Apr 08 2008, 04:14

Heading to Valencia in June with the old doll, Will be bringing 2 x 9ft fixed spool rods and the fly rod with me.
Will also have a car so Alicante is in easy reach, I have looked up some sites and there seems to be lots of lakes where i can go for Carp / Barbel / Black Bass and Zander so im sure ill find a spot or two.

But its best too get advise from someone who has been there and done that instead of relying web pages. Any good guide/ghillie contact would also be nice for whatever type of fishing.

Any body?

Thanks:D

Flying from Alicanta to Seville Airport for 4 days fishing. Also found another lake with Zander up to 15lb that i can fish for the 7 days im in Alicanta.

So has anyone dealt with fatanglingtours before or fished the Guadiana River (Sierra lake)?

Subject: Sierra Brava lake, Guadiana River, Spain Mon Apr 21 2008, 21:34

Well as said i have booked on the Sierra Brava lake, Guadiana River. Bait is supplied as follows: 45 KG particles mix and 4.5 KG of mixed Richworth Boilies and some gluged pop ups.

I want to bring some of my own boilies too as ill have plenty of room in the bags. The lake is something like 10,000 Acres and the fish feed alot on Crayfish. Any suggestions on what boilies i should bring over. Also is there any advantages of bringing frozen over? i.e. Would i be better to bring a dried bait high in attraction? was thinking the below might be good as the Carp feed on Crayfish, Is there a spacific Crayfish boilies?

SPICY SHRIMP & PRAWN BOILIES
MONSTER CRAB BOILIES
SQUID AND OCTOPUS BOILIES
MONSTER PURSUIT BOILIES

Thanks again...

Subject: Spain Tue Apr 22 2008, 00:36

Okay will get some Halibuts, There are Barble to 30lb in there, Im sure there are no Cats at all.
Sorry actually the particle mix is made up of Halibuts, Bird seeds, Maise and Tiger nut.

Subject: Crayfish Boilies Tue Apr 29 2008, 21:31

I am bringing 10KG of Crayfish boilies with me. I can get them frozen or airdried. Is it worth the extra hassle of bringing frozen out to Spain? Is it better to just bring airdried as i am not going to be introducing these as a long time food source?
What ye think?

Thanks again

Airdried would be your best bet Tony unless you can get a freezer big enough for the 10kg of bait.

Sorry i taught airdried boilies were the same as shelflife boilies:oops:

I understand now... Rolling Eyes
