Fishing in Andalucia

And so the fishing,

I have already tried a bit along the Atlantic coast at Barbate estuary (Cadiz) and to Mediterranean coast at Estepona and Marbella (close to Malaga). All fishing done whitin 2 hours of high tide. It desn't matter much for Mediterranean coast, but is very important for Atlantic, where the question is there is water or not at all :). I have managed a small Seabass at Barbate and not much more. The next time I have tried at Conil de la Frontera 2 hours before high tide. Plenty small seabass at the estuary itself and some bigger once at the very entrance to the river.
Fishing the Atlantic is not that easy. You need to constantly change your spots due to changing current. Wind is always present and can get very disturbing. But the fishing can be very rewarding.

Weekend on Red Sea, Eilat

Just a short family weekend.
Friday morning about half an hour before the sunrise I came to local Marina. There was some predator activity going on. I set my 8 wt and a barracuda fly with metal wire. On a second cast someone just bit it off. While changing the fly, I tied olive Clouser, all the activity was gone. After a while of casting, a nice bite and a first trumpet fish landed. I had three more this morning. Next morning those trumpets were biting on nearly every cast. But no other species caught this time.
