rolling boilies is hard work but very satisfying when you catch fish on them baits when its a big fish your are mad keen to get some more. but getting it right can be costly and hellish trying to find the right ingredients. i can only say this if you choose to do this .go ahead and make your own then get good guidance from a compnay that has excellent ingredients like proline baits i cant put the full webpage here but i can pm you . they and many others like have a superb range of dry ingredients for you to use. no harmfull rubish that the fish will have swollen intestines on and no worrys for indegestion problems for the fish. i truly wish you and anybody that ventures oput to do this . those who sucseed go on to be top anglers but thats why there are few of them out there i am luck relay relay lucky to have the best bait compnay on my side with what can only be described as the dogs gonads i will eat my undercrakers if you dont catch on what i use. and my hat as well. good luck tight lines and bent rods forever gaza on the ebro.

i have this young ladys full permission its my daughter taken on my lixvus 12.0mega pixel cam from 3mts away bright day with slight shade from behind

from www.carpdreamfishing.com gary sheridan photo taken on the river ebro in spain. Whilst i had the chance to take this shot and more. To set the scene. The wind has settled down and from the west comes a mass of clouds, that looked like armageden had sent. Within 10 minuets of taking this shot we were runnning for cover with a storm from the atlantic that had crossed spain. hope you enjoy (no enhacement to this picture at all) lixvus 12.0mega pixel cam digital

i am off to playa de arena its one of the areas between los gigantes and port santiago on the southwest corner above los cristianos. loaded with beachcaster and two shimano exage rods. wire traces and enough end tackle to tackle most species from light gear to ton up fish. have had a lot of conflicting posts as to what i may or may not catch. there are no specific areas to try basicaly most of the areas are untouched but you will see many anglers spanish mostly fishing for there tea. now they dont usualy sit there for a long time. they will be happy to catch a few dorados sea bream and a few mullet as this is easy fishing they use 5 or more hooks wraped round brad for the mullet and worm or prwan for the dorados thats sea bream. but the serious stuff is out there, you just have to present as big bait floating or toherwise on any outcrop of rocks or jetty or even a beach with surf but be warned do not and i say this again DO NOT DO NOT go down to the bottom to land a fish the atlantic has no mercy at all. it has no feelings for your life whatsoever. and you will get rfreak waves sweep many people off the rocks so be warned. this is very very important you remember this. once saftey is a main concern then you can have a good days fishing stay close to people at all times dont think you can go off at night on your own go with a friend or within shouting distance let people know when you will be back. right has that sunk in good then bait squid worm (from the tackle shops )strips of fish and prawns are all good small sprats and small joey mackrell are even better. float fished will give you a better chance as the bottom is mostly rocky now rods beffy fr the big stuff and loaded with 50lbs line big reel i use a big pit reel with ten bearings a smaller rod for the mullet with line of 8lbs will suffice again floatfished. i forgot to mention flaotfished crabs are very good and plentyfull around the loose rocks.... boats can be hired but i have yet to try one so i will post later on upon my return this knowledge is new to me and i am happy to pass this on as there is hardly any information out there to get hold of this is a good link http://www.owltraining.com/fishing.htm this chap has fished there and has good advise for many people also http://www.owltraining.com/fishing.htm http://www.canaries-live.com/UK/sports.html there are a lot of links out there but you will have to spend some time yourselves looking further you could post here or send me an E-mail to gary@carpdreamfishing.com i will get back to you i am off on this week and will be back within ten days so lets se what the atlantic has to offer afetr my last mexico trip i gained a lot of knowledge there and have done from all my sea and freshwater trips around the world glad i can help tight lines

just to add that we have now been on this forum for many years. and over this time we have now expanded into sea fishing. sea bass is one of the many species that anglers wish to catch. rays and large blue fish are abundant here on the delta region. we have a massive advantage of the delta that flows out to sea some 15 miles further than the caostline surounding the areas of tarragona in cataluña. many species can be caught here if boats are not your thing then i have many years guideing on the beaches all around the delta area. bass to high double fugures are never far away. and a large stingray is always a welcome site on the beaches. mullet to double figures with fish to 2lbs upwards more common

we are based on the river ebro in spain we are also the oldest catfishing company on the river ebro delta region. we supply you with boats guides all fishing tackle all fuel licences bait and you can choose from fly fishing sea fishing or catfishing the choice is totaly yours. we make family holidays for all ages and have a multitude of ideas and fun things to entertain the younger generation we hope to hear from you and your friends to fish for the largest freshwater fish in the world the wels catfish. many thanks gary sheridan www.carpdreamfishing.com we would also like to add that we have been on this website for the last four years and have watched elton grow from strenght to strenght we wish you and all the guests visitors and regulars a merry christmas and a happy new year. lets hope 2006 brings bigger fish for everyone

hi chris if you wish to send me an E-mail i will be able to help further the only thing i would like to add is the fact how well the fishing has been of late with catfish to 140+ and some superb bass hay adam you wont beleive how many we are catching down here mate i got some nice ones the other day to 3.5 kilos and one at 2.4 kios truly hope all is going wqell with the university and look forward to speaking soon. can i just add merry christmas to one and a happy new year.

hi newt sorry i have not replied sooner so busy. you have got some fantastic areas to fish out there mate i may well make my way out there in the coming year. i do believe there are some very big cats on those dams is this true.

there was one recent piece of evidence from greece where a 300lb + fish was well it was seen but as for the capture of this fish there was speculation flying round that the fish was actualy dead on pics and not long after the chap in question actualy confirmed the fish was dead on the pictures but swears this fish was alive.I for one do not know the truth and do not want to add to any further speculation to this fish but it is true what budgie says we honestly do not know where the bigest catfish are in the world. untill that capture is down on video. and proof, i think there may well be one or two large ones safe from the nets of the russian anglers in the volga or its tributorys. the po has some very big fish. some reports of big fish have been documented here on the ebro again with storys from police officers saying after they, have or tried to recover vehicles from the rocky areas of the ebro. as for the future of the delta it has the support of thousand no millions of bait or food for cats the influx of the mullet have risen and this has lead to the cats feeding predominatly on them pre-ocuped they gorge there way through kilos every day. this in my mind can only lead to one thing big fish. but who knows .

does elton have any comments that may enlighten this situation

i know mate it is a shame as some anglers dont see the affects of the whole picture most genral people dont seem to know the whole affects it is one long constant knock on affect.for the elvers. there will be a time when there are none or hardly any elvers. cheers gary
