Respect the fish you catch

Please always use an unhooking mat (at least 1m x 60cm and thick enough) and a tarpaulin with catfish. They also need to be held with care and respect.

Tarpaulin used with the catfish

The fish must never be left unattended. Always have your mat, net, camera and bucket full of water ready.

The unhooking mat is big and thick enough to protect the fish

The mat and tarpaulin must be wet before puting the fish on it. A bucket full of water must be closed of you and the fish need to be wet very often. Never stand up with a fish in your arms excepted if you are in the water (deep enough).

Water level is high enough to carry the fish in it

We know you are always very proud of the fish you caught and love to photograph them as we love to receive your photos. But please keep in mind that a fish lives in the water. The shortest is the the photos seance, the fastest the fish goes back to its natural world.

Releasing the fish in the water with care and as soon as possible

Please help us to maintain ALL the fish in good condition.

Dear angler,

The bookings are now open for the 2011 season. As you may see on both our blog  and facebook www.facebook.com/Sandrine.Hortonfishing that so far this season fishing results are awesome and creating an immense interest in the whole carp fishing community.

If you have not already shared your fishing experience with us whether good or bad on those public interfaces and communities we invite you to do so and please include some pictures.

We would like to inform you in priority that some dates are likely to be booked up very quickly and if you have any date of your preferred choice or imposed work holiday date we would recommend that you secure it as quickly as possible. Should you have any current financial challenges you may discuss those with me so as to spread out payments rather than miss out on the fishing.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for any further information.

Many thanks for your trust.

Spain : Simon and Barry in a short stay in Spain March 2010

Fishing in Spain

I've always thoroughly enjoyed the fishing in Spain and to be honest most waters have been kind to us in terms of results. The guided catfish trips to Mequinenza and Caspe have been running since 2002 and I can't even imagine how many fish have come out to our guests. If you are interested I have two dates left for Caspe this year, one in June and one in September, both very productive periods. I have done some fieldtesting on other Spanish lakes mostly targetting predators, the target for 2008 was to catch a 40lb+ pike, after having several 35plusses, I managed to bank late december an absolute crocodile of a pike measuring 1m35 ! I won't even comment on the number of zander caught because when you hit it right it is one a chuck. Hence, if any of you guys wish to experience something different on massive beautiful waters with little or no pressure, give us a call. The typical day is made of lure fishing from a boat then getting back to camp to do some carp fishing for those that are not too knackered from the day on the boat.
