Alternatively, boats equipped with fish finders can be hired for exclusive use plus all the necessary kit for every type of fishing, rods & reels, end rigs, chairs, ground Bait, hook bait. You can get a full day all inclusive for about €75

Licenses are needed for both Boat and Freshwater fishing - For a 5 year license you need a copy of your NIE or copy of your passport plus 2 passport photos and it costs €20 (there is a reduction for pensioners). The license can be obtained from APND Club De Pesca

In the reservoirs you can expect to catch large carp, barbell, brown and rainbow trout, bass and eel's. The sea is full of big grey mullet, sea bream, sea bass and 2 to 3 miles out tuna and mackerel are said to be plentiful. Have a look as this site for ultimate angling challenge - www.ebrofishing.com

You could even try some Kayak Fishing for a change. The freshwater reservoirs or the Mediterranean Sea are ideal and the beach at La Marina would be an excellent place to base yourself. Properties there start from around €100,000
