Fishing in Spain - Costa Calida

[BrianJT]

Hi Everyone,
First things first..great forum with lots of useful information!!!
I have been fishing all my life from a boat on the eastern and western coasts of Ireland but recently
moved to Spain to the Costa Calida.I have been fishing a year now using all the traditional methods
learned from 40 years back home but it just aint working here! i ve been jigging, trolling, drifting,
popping THE LOT..and very little..have seen blues up near the fishfarms at Salinas but not a bite!
YES.. have been catching gurnet, small bonito and spanish mackerel but unlike at home when the
mackerel would literally be jumping in the boat, they dont seem to take to the feathers here like
in Ireland.ANY help or advice would be most appreciated!!!!!!

I haven't seen any Spanish boats off Devon & Cornwall, but plenty of French & Belgian boats.
