ebroslayer

Hi splinter, just to clear up the point of taking eels from the ebro,when we did use eels at ebro adventure they were bought from the coast [ebre delta] and bought legally before being used as bait,obviously before the ban!!! with regards to you seeing a guide from Riba and i know who he is,catching his bait does not mean everyone partakes in this pratice which is wrong but you cant tar everyone with the same brush!!!! Good anglers can adapt and catch just as many fish if not more in my case to any bait ban or rule so please dont judge every guide in the Riba/Flix area with the same rule,its totally not the case and completely unfair,cheers mate,slayer!

I am very aware of the law as are most of the other guides and anglers that live and fish in catalunya, with regards to my advert on my website obviously it states that we buoy fish with eels[not carp as previosly mentioned in your post]but we generally used this method before the ban came into force,i mainly fish from the bank for the cats now using alternative methods and bait and i can honestly say am outfishing live bait methods anyway generally catching bigger cats too and holding them in the swim for longer!!! I cannot vouch for other guides and companys but then their buisiness pratices are their own,i only run my company [LEGALLY] so if you fancy seeing the ebroslayer at work doing what he does best,book a trip next year with www.ebroadventure.com and see the proffesionals at work!!!!!!!!!!

By the way splinters,im called ebroslayer cause i catch loads of fish,not cause i cause any harm to them,glad i cleared that up mate!!! Edited to remove swearing!

Hi splinters,You should'nt believe all you hear about the ebro mate,most guides never use carp or lives for that matter,other methods far outfish lives anyway,its the anglers that catch and kill for food you should be worried about[immigrants] cause they dont care what size the carp is as a 40lb common will feed their family for weeks!!! i dont use live bait for cats so it sounds like you have been misinformed by someone and having fished for carp passionately for 25yrs would not dream of putting a hook in one to cast out,i like taking hooks out of them!!!!! hope this clears this up for you as i live in Riba Roja and know what goes on,some people will use lives but will generally use eels as bait as they last forever and obviously move and vibrate more in the river. I certainly would not worry too much about the stock in the ebro,there is enough carp to go round,unless of course you are after catching the pasties mate

Hi guys i run ebro adventure in the Riba-Roja stretch of the ebro,anyone want any honest information regarding the fishing in this stretch feel free to ask,i will be only too happy to help.
