Ebro Catfishing

Despite warmer weather this week the river is currently high and cold with water temperature around 9.5 degrees. The mullet are not currently available as they will not get onto the pipes to feed in the low water temps. Live eels fished tight into the margins are a viable plan B, and this was the successful formula today with these two big cats taking a liking to the ’snakes’.

The fish of 92lb and 100lb are both personal bests for their respective captors, Kev Unsworth and Canadian Paul Jenkins. Both cats were taken from upstream Amposta locations.
