Firstly you must go to a local spanish bank and get a licence but they will only issue this on specific days of the month..... typical spanish haha. Some of the best venues in this area are the Embalse (or reservoirs) dependant on what side of alicante you are really. Give me some more details and i will let you know the ones i know and have fished. The majority of them produce some hard fighting barbel i have had up to about 8lb and nice small carp to around 10lb but its constant action Hope this helps

I am off to switzerland in june to jump off a canyon So i hoped whilst i was there i could catch a few fish so any help or experiences would be good

I actually used a bait boat that i have since sold, spod would do the job just the same but i have to admit although i will not be getting another boat for rhis country i would concider renting one when i go to france this year purel due to the size of the bed of bait i put out and the time a boat saves you. Rig wise i was mainly using short hybrid hooklengths size 6 and 8 longshank hooks, with pva bags of pellets but mainly my own stick mix for a bit of extra attraction. you will have to let me know how you get on!

August when you going?? Been speaking to steve and the changes they have made to the lakes look good

When i went they did have freezers but not for anglers bait only the bait sold. I took way to much bait but rather have to much than not enough ay. Prob used between 1-2kg a day but to be honest i relied on the particle mix with a few of my own extras as it worked like a dream.

I was fishing bounty 2 and caught right from the word go! for the most of my 5 night stay i hardly slept day and night it was a brilliant first time in france. I only took 2 different boilies, Mainline Cell and Active-8 both with the freezer paste to match Almost every fish i caught with carp to over 30lb and some nice little cats to 28lb came on the Cell some wrapped in paste and some topped with fluro pop up corn all fished with the bounty particle mix ( it was magic stuff) However saying that the manager there actually bought the active 8 when i left as he swore by it for bounty 2 and thats the lake with the best fish ( not that i wasn't more than happy with my lake) some of the lads on b2 had some stunning upper 30 carp and one young welsh lad got a cat i can't remember the exact size but i'm sure it was upper 90 that got weeded up and when they went out in a boat to free it off it pulled them half way round the lake!!! My only complaint was the showers were bloody freezing

Fished there last year and had some fantastic fish, do you know what lake your on bounty 1 or 2?

I do exactly the same, always benifits good presentation to tie the hair and put the bait on before going any further. I also put the tubing on before going any further.

I have been using these on my rigs for quite some time now and have had absolutely no problems whatsoever! but will be looking out for signs now! However once the hook point goes off the rig goes in the bin so they don't get the chance to let me down
