Gary are you stupid or what ? the blokes post says he fishing feb 18-19 so i think he will know what the Ebro looks like hes been back 3 weeks i think they call this "CAR CRASH" advertising must be getting desperate to have to put the same links in in 2 different posts

Just found this on youtube

Marcus didn,t know he did a guided carp package a sign of the times maybe hiring a car is a good idea at least you are not dependant on anyone as nothing gets done fast in spain and you can move quickly if needs be perhaps he has listened to the complaints from his customers who don,t want to fish with sbs boilies /pellets / groundbait and has started doing prepared maize you can only legally fish for the carp from 6am till 1hr after dark even on private land and there is a fair chance you will be visited by the Guardia at some stage who know the difference between catfish gear and carp gear and will confiscate your tackle if caught breaking the rules be warned you can sleep on the bank under brolly type shelters but not bivvies with a ground sheet

Marcus i take it you have booked the unguided carp package you will be picked up in the morning and dumped for the day in a swim of there choice and you don,t get a boat so i hope you are good at spodding and the river can be up to 500mtrs wide depending on where you fish the best way of tackling the carp is like you say large beds of maize to try and stop them and pick a few off before they move on a boat and echo sounder make life so much easier as you can find the depth they are feeding at and there are considerable differences in depth 7 to 60ft and plenty of snags in some of the swims no wonder they say bait lightly as they don,t supply maize only pellets and boillies you can buy these cheaper in the tackle shops and if you use too many pellets you will attract the cats into your swim and they may stay all day keeping the carp out most of the big hits on the carp you read about have come from pre baited swims that have had large amounts of maize 100kg,s + over a few days before your arrival maize is dirt cheap out there but you need someone to prepare it for you in advance the other problem is keeping your swim as in the busy times there are a lot of anglers cruising around looking for the hot swims and think nothing of grabbing your swim in the night if you have any other questions ask away m8

Marcus i have met a lot of the guides in my travels out there and fished socially with a couple there are some that are "sharks " excuse the pun only after your money and no service a mate fished recently with Steve Buss of carpandcatbussters.com and highly reccomends him and i have to agree have a look on oxfordcarp.com in there forum in global carp section there is a post and some picc,s which might help you decide

inewton febuary can be a real hit or miss month depending on the weather m8 have a look on www.bigcatfish.net some photo,s / video,s that might help you a bit
