Steve and Ricky next in and it wasn’t the first time they had fished the mighty Ebro. They had fished the lower stretch at Amposta and also up at Caspe. Ricky managing a 165lb at Amposta but it was a while ago. So what would they make of Flix?? First night was the opening game of the World Cup so we had a few beers and watched the game fishing was for tomorrow. We went off to the Fig Tree and soon had rods out, I went off at mid day to sort out baguettes and returned to Ricky in full fight mode. I missed most of the fight but eventually it was landed and sent the scales round to 105lb. Great fight and another ton in the bag.
The Lads done the night with some more small cats but had to wait until evening when it was Steve’s turn to have a go on a big moggie. The fight was again mad with it taking so much line but we soon had it on the bank. How Steve had never broken the magic “Ton” so was great to see the scales go round to 101lb.
They done a second night at the fig tree but not much to report so we wrapped up camp midday as there was a certain football match on that evening !! England v Italy. So time out from the fishing with 2 good fish in the bag and we had a night out in Flix. Football same old same old disappointment but to ease the pain Gin and Tonics Vodka Cokes and then a few shots ouch!!!! we strolled in at nearly 6am so lay in and breakfast served at 3pm the following afternoon!!!!
That evening the Lads wanted to see some other spots we are blessed with around here so we went up to Riba Roja in search of a big Ebro Carp.
Camp set with 4 carp rods all on pineapple boilies sit back enjoy the scenery and see what happens. Nothing to report before dark but after the lads had 4 runs only banking 1 fish but it was a typical perfect common just over 20lb’s. We fished till early afternoon when it was time to wrap it up. The fishing was hard but they still banked some target fish 2 100lb plus cats!!, we watched the footy, had a very funny night out in Town and also chilled and enjoyed the Catalonian countryside. We ticked all the boxes and with company like yourselves it was always going to be a great trip, so thanks lads and hope to see you next year.
Until next time Paul
