it sorts out the sizes pretty well, and you can edit display size etc.

 

I've seen the same in Mahon Habour (Menorca) and massive Bass (lubina) too.

 

yer theres loads of mullet in the harbours in spain me and my dad tryed to fish for them (just for the sport not for food) but some el pigo came on his bike and said NO! lol i think my adver is of some mullet in barca

 

not worth the risk of fishing where its banned. its normally 300€ fine confiscation of your gear, and if you dont have a licence a fine for that too.
no chance of skipping without paying, as they will take you to a cashpoint or your hotel for the money.
or take your passport till its paid.

 

This thread cant possibly be true
Surely the Spaniards catch them the same as all other fish.
Perhaps they treat the harbours as stew ponds and trawl them at night!!!!!!!!!!!

 

No, they preserve their own stocks of fish and come over into the channel to plunder ours instead!

 

if its a video then upload it to youtube or google images whats the difference theser days lol both free to register then post links

 

only forigners fish for mullet in spain where i used to live i had loads of decent mullet marks caught them up to 3 pounds but there was some submarines there the spanish dont look at fishing as a sport they fish for there dinner

harbours are boring to fish for mullet you are better to hoof it and travel light and go stalking them is much more funand rewarding when you catch

 

Captaincojones what's the reasoning behind banning fishing in those areas?

Where are you in Spain, btw?

angling nationwide in ports got stopped about 2 years ago.i heard all sorts of reasons quoted, but i dont know the concrete reason so i wont speculate.we have notices up that have the legal code number on them, so its not just a local thing.
i have freinds who used to fish the marinas in analucia, that got stopped at the same time.
you can still fish on the outer edges of the breakwaters no problem, but i agree with gary in mallorca, stalking is more fun.
im on the costa blanca near altea.

 

Interesting. There is a small port/marina at Conil de la Frontera near Cadiz where I saw them fishing some time back. That was from the breakwater. I imagine it was for safety reasons that they brought the ban in.

I'm heading for the Cadiz area when I retire. Going to wander the beaches and rocks spinning and plugging. I so cannot wait.

 

I saw these huge shoals in Bilbao. Noticed that the locals were only fishing the outside of the breakwater and not inside the harbour where the fish were. Thought that was strange. Now I know the reason.

 

 

Dunno if this was supposed to be in that zip file matey ! but feeding the mullet WEDGIES of bread is one thing, this is something else ! PMSL

 

lol, Men and their holiday photo's!!

 

That's why they banned fishing in harbours!!!

Good Mullet pics though!

 

Reminds me of a pic I saw of someone feeding the ducks and fish in a pond that was waaaay overstocked. The carp formed a solid mass at the sloping shoreline, backs right out of the water, and one of the ducks was standing on their backs to grab the bread.

 

Sally - many thanks for posting my pics for me - i will have to learn how to do that......

i wasnt sure i had attached that other picture!!! thats what happens when you compose several emails at the same time ........ hmy:
