Asturias Report No1 2012

All was well the flight was a smooth a really good service from Easy Jet Flying with fishing gear is a art in itself we took a Bazooka Rod carrier 7 plugging rods are the maximum for this bit of kit and a extra bag for sporting gear and extra £20 but worked OK on the flights,,the anticipation on the Plane was electric between Joe ,Mark Myself and the newbie Gary ,big respect to Gary as we had all been to Asturias before and really we knew this trip was never going to be easy,i asked Gary along as he had won the RNLI raffle for a Guide on World SeaFishing Forum but i did stress this was not the one as we would be fishing hard for 5 days we will go for a easy one in summer ,,

 

The scenery vista in Asturias is simply stunning for the plugger this land in northern Spain is a very hard area to get around ,personal fitness levels have to be high as the access down the cliffs can be off the scale one of our marks we christened the stair way to heaven  just up the road from our house at Cavedaro is a 1000 feet decent to the beach and when you get there well a 2 to 4 mile rock hop is not out of the oordinary to get to Fishing Marks,


You can spot the path down at the end of the Road
Thanks Google Earth for the picture



This area of Spain not only has the roughest ground of any Bass Marks i know anywhere but also suffers the double wammy of really large and unprecdictable swell patterns you must be so carefull and alert when fishing,Below is Mark and Dario planning the next fishing trip both these guys cannot speak the others language at all but i must say the universal  international world of  lure fishing this simply was not a barrier
for any of us on the Trip,,
Manel ,Below, explaining the in and out of the evening session these guys know the area so well and let me say this without the help from Manel and Dario this trip would not have been possible they fished and helped at every corner simply a great effort of friendship and angling have a look at Manels Blog Here Thanks guys from all of us,,
I would advise anyone who fancies Asturias for some extreem Bass Fishing get hold of Manel and Dario
local knowledge in this area is a must,,
below Joe and Dario discussing Tactics on a early morning trip ,things were hard and we were getting a little twitchy that the Bass were not giong to show but with Persiverence and hard work,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mark with a nice Asturian Bass and well earned too did not have many fish 6 in total for the trip but when one came out it just seemed to work for all of us ,,,
Another thanks Manel and Dario for making this a trip to remember and thats from Joe ,Mark, Gary and Me
Cheers guys,,



Aturias Report No 2 will be the lures we used on the trip what worked and what dident,,so till next time,,

Nice report Graham - looks tough but fantastic. Guess long rods are a must - I know they love their soft plastics out there, so I'll be interested to know what the tackle losses were like!

Tight lines.

Hello again Graham, just say again that I had a great time with you all these days, a penalty that fishing has not been better.
We missed Tom, but I hope to see at the next meeting.

I'll try to be in England this year, but I can not promise anything.

My best wishes to you all.

I'm pleased you were all well looked after and also that you are all fine to tell the tale.

As you know, ropes and a head for heights is part of a bass fishing outing in this part of the world.

Great stuff. Frank
