 Q) Where will we be fishing?                                                                              

 A)  We will fish wherever the fishing is good! Sometimes the Top lake is best at Caspe or Chiprana. Other times Mequinenza is better. You will be taken to where your guide is CONFIDENT you will catch!!                                                       

Q) How much can I expect to spend on bait while Catfishing?                       

 A)  If we are live baiting, you can get away with about 10€ per day each if we have to buy the live baits. Obviously if we can catch the livebait, then the cost will go down. But if we are Pellet fishing you may use as much as a sack per day each! A good quality 25 kilo sack of pellet will cost 59€. Squid is also a good hook bait which costs around 7-8€ per kilo. You can expect to use half a kilo per day each, if the fishing is good.                                                                                                          

Q) Does our guide fish with us?                                                                         

A) He will put out 2 Rods for your use! However, if the fishing is good, he will pay his share of the bait and fish with you if you are OK with that.                                     

 Q) Can we night fish?                                                                                    

A) Yes we will let you night fish but it is illegal in Spain! Because of this, there are a few rules! You can only use one rod per person.  No lights and no noise. If we are unlucky enough to get caught, then you are responsible for paying your own fines! If you don’t like these conditions, your rods must be reeled in at midnight until 6am.
