In came Shaun and Matty this was to be Matt’s first trip abroad so all new for him, so first question from Matt , Why are we driving on the wrong side of the road???? Ohh dear was it to be one of those weeks!! No was the answer but Matty provided us with some cracking ammo which we let him have on regular occasions thanks Matt!!
Fishing was steady as it had been the previous weeks, plenty of action with cats around the 50-70lb mark all good fun for the lads as most were coming to the carp and spod rods.
Bigger fish were coming to the rods of Shaun at first but then it was Matty’s turn to feel the force of an Ebro Cat and soon proudly holding an 80 for the camera.
Fishing was ticking along when about 4 days into their trip I returned from a food run. Rods re baited time to eat……..Umm no the cats had a feeding spell where we just couldn’t keep a rod in the water… all good fish crazy but great fun.
The lads decided to stick it out at the Fig Tree so they had time to hit the magic Ton, days passed with more 60’s 70’s but no Ton until…… the last day, in fact the last half hour when Shaun was into a good fish, cracking fight nothing but heavy steady plodding about could this be the one??? Well it was a very long fish but after weighing it twice it came up short at 94lb but big fish and a very happy Shaun.
That was the last of the action time to wrap it up, but they finished on a high and with over 40 cats landed they had a great weeks fishing. I think this incredible river has got two more well and truly hooked.
Until next time Paul
