Today’s picture is of us fishing at the Embalse de Pedrera reservoir located near to Torremendo just inland from the Costa Blanca coastline of Spain. We took part in an angling safari last August to try out the local carp fishing which is said to be good. In the event although we had a good day out the fish weren’t really biting and only 2 small carp were caught, one by myself and one by Nathian, David (featured in the photo) unfortunately went fishless. The cost of the angling safaris are 70 euros per person (they picked us up from Cabo Roig), which I think is reasonable although we would have liked to have caught more fish and perhaps have tried some different baits and methods, but as they say “that’s fishing”.
