Text of the page (random words):
now on a new laptop a new camera and a new smartphone of course this does mean that the new fishing equipment i was planning on getting has to wait i can t have it all but i have enough stuff to keep me going for some time yet anyway out of all these new devices i must say my favourite is the smartphone with which i m writing and posting this entry it s the sony erricsson xperia arc s with android 4 0 elegant well made light and the best touch screen i ve tried to date the quality of video play back is fantastic with the bravia engine and the 8 megapixel camera is outstanding i had always been a fan of nokia phones and i don t know in your respective countries but here in spain the software installed is giving nothing but problems i had a nokia c6 001 and it i was a regular at the nokia centre anyway just to say thanks for all your visits and shall soon be posting fishing adventures thanks again posted by dr frankinspain at 1 32 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels news saturday may 19 2012 fishing with live smelt update ok here s a short update on fishing with live baitfish though the idea is sea trout i wasn t lucky and didn t land any at all not even a bite nor did i see them as i did before i started this exercise and in fact was the reason i tried to jog your memory remember that i m trying in the ports and harbour around la coruña spain which has been my home for 10 years now i leave you a short video on how i set up for this fishing using my match rod a very small float and a small treble now although the sea trout didn t feel tempted by the smelt as i had thought see bass were and a number were caught though most were too small and apart from a couple that were hurt too much all were returned to whence they came marcos a good friend that accompanied me a couple of times happy fishing posted by dr frankinspain at 8 14 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels port and harbour fishing thursday april 19 2012 sunrise on the coast of death monday morning just before sunrise marcos and i arrived at the coast near a town called malpica we had decided to take advantage of the slightly calmer weather to do some spinning a decision that ll take a few weeks to forget as i said the weather was slightly better than that we d been having and approaching in the next few days according to the weather reports it seems winter has returned and returned with vengeance this coast is the coast of death because of the treacherous seas and steep and jugged rock formations we parked the car as near as possible but this was still a good 300 feet above sea level and a mile walk down to the rocks we got changed set up and set off down the cliff to perch ourselves on our chosen fishing spots the first hour and a half went by fine nothing caught except a needle fish by marcos fairly calm seas and although we had a head wind we could just about cast a reasonable distance then as i was clambering over the rocks to find a different spot i slipped and fell it hurt it hurt a lot i slightly twisted banged and cut my left knee and cut my left hand i had quickly let go of my rod and reel and luckily didn t damage either one once i could move i thought the best thing to do was to climb back up to the car while the adrenaline was still rushing through me allowing me to limb along the adrenaline ran out about half way up and i had to be helped the rest of the way by marcos after the car ride home when i tried to get out i could hardly walk but managed to hobble into my flat later that afternoon i had no choice but to visit the emergency ward where after some x rays i was pleased to be told i hadn t broken anything but did tear a ligament and that i needed to keep my weight of my leg for at least a couple of weeks so there we have it what can i say except be careful out there i guess i m getting old i didn t have the camera running at the time but i leave you a video and some pics of the scenery un happy fishing posted by dr frankinspain at 5 53 am 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest

post this rig can be used for many other types of fish in fact i often use this rig for sea bass with the only difference being i attach a treble hook baited with sardine or bloodworm the basic idea is to have a sliding sinker so the fish doesn t pull on the sinker after taking the bait and in turn when i give the tug to get a secure hooking i tug directly down the line to the hook and not the sinker i use breakaway swivels and thread the main line shock leader through the swivel then thread a rubber or other type of soft bead before tying another type of swivel to which i attach the gamete with the hook breakaway swivel from the swivel i tie about five centimetres of line to the sinker the idea of this is that the sinker will probably bury into the sand or mud and this keeps the swivel above and allows the line to slide easily without any problem i sometimes use other types of sinker then i thread a rubber bead and after the swivel to which the gamete is tied the rubber bead protects the knot from abrasion this is the swivel i use it comes without any covering but i cover with shrink tube this is how it should look before tying the gamete obviously the line has to be threaded through the guides of the rod before setting up some of the hooks i recommend in the video i m using owner hooks note you should not use braided line unless you add at least 15 metres of monofilament as braided line can actually cut through the plastic of the swivel and besides this braided line doesn t behave well to abrasion as i said here i m using a tandem hook but you can adapt this to the bait you re using and the fish you re targeting i generally use this set up when beach fishing muddy seabed or at least a clean bottom if there s a chance of snagging then a different way of attaching the sinker is necessary which i ll show you in another post happy fishing posted by dr frankinspain at 6 04 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels rigs wednesday april 4 2012 early morning hunt for gilt headed bream gonzalo and i got up bright and early to check if the gilt headed bream dentex have arrived in our beaches it is a little early in the season and these fish prefer hot sunny weather and warmer waters but we thought we d try anyway the weather wasn t in our favour with a 24 knot wind making it a very uncomfortable experience there are some very good baits for this fish which include razor shell green crab cuttlefish clams cockles in fact any shellfish and bloodworm on this trip we took razor shell and bloodworm unfortunately apart from the wind the sea snails were out in force getting to and divulging the bait in minutes not good when bloodworm cost 1 a piece we tried for some time lifting the bait often trying to avoid the snails but in vain however gonzalo did manage to land one by casting very close to one as it took the bait within seconds of it being cast it s a very small example so nothing to write home about but good enough to write in the blog about i would not be outdone so i decided to temp another species that also wander around this beach and had my success within minutes i landed then released a tub gurnard the technique for this fish is a kind of spinning idea you cast the bait in this case razor shell but without the shell and once the bait reaches the bottom you retrieve really slowly along the bottom if one is around it ll take the bait as this one did soft lures can also be used preferable white catch and release the rig for gilt headed bream is quite simple and as we plan to return in the next couple of days i ll show you and explain the set up when i take my camera next time we ll try with live green crab in an attempt to avoid the snails although they can also clean these out but it takes a little longer and as the crab is alive it ll defend itself and fight them off until then happy fishing i ll do the report on the species gilt headed bream when i

oleiros spain chelidonichthys lucerna tub gurnard tub gurnard library picture commonly called gurnard and in this case a tub gurnard which is a reddish bluish with a spiny armoured head they also have spines around the gills that can inject a poison cuasing some pain for a couple of days i can vouch for this personally of the triglidae family which include sea robin and other commonly called scorpion fish they have pectoral fins that have developed into finger like legs used for crawling along the sea bed they also have two other butterfly like pectoral fins of great size with a rather beautiful blue colouring they retract these fins when swimming but extend them while sitting on the bottom however they do sometimes kind of flap their fins whilst swimming almost like birds flying it is a coastal species prevalent in the mediterranean sea and atlantic ocean from norway to cape blanc and is also found though less common in the black sea and southern baltic one i caught and released their mating season is quite long from may to august and all year around africa they can be found in shallow water on sandy and muddy bottoms but other members of the triglidae family can be found on rocky bottoms one of the many curious things about this fish is the croaking noise they can make when fished they can do this with the use of a drumming muscle they can beat against their bladder they are quite tasty firm meaty fish although very spiny happy fishing posted by dr frankinspain at 7 46 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels species

as sun sea and sangria well i live in the north west the region is called galicia and the area i live in is known as the coast of death winter is cold and wet the sea is rough and dangerous hence the name forget flamenco and think of bagpipes it s a celtic region country not unlike ireland or scotland i enjoy most styles of fishing but generally concentrate on spinning and bait casting i believe in catch release although i make some exceptions for the plate i also love jigging for squid i mainly fish from the coast as i get sick as a dog on a boat but with the help of pills i sometimes go out with some friends i also enjoy river and lake fishing where for the moment some good brown trout sea trout and salmon can be caught although it s regulated and only allowed in season i shall tell you
