When did fishing begin and how did you get into that?

Fishing is a hobby that comes from family. From a very young age my father transmitted it to me and I wished that summer would arrive to go at dawn with my family from France to fish. I used to surfcast and one day fishing just 3 years ago I saw a kayak and it took days to buy one. The best purchase I made a Galaxy tamden double that I never deshare him.


Let's talk about your most memorable fishing experience:

All my trips are memorable because in all I enjoy a lot. If it was something not to forget, one morning it was quite early and I was a little asleep, when suddenly the rod was totally tilted and there was a tidal wave with what I thought had a good catch, because it was difficult for me to pick up and I He said "Oh what do I bring?" I became quick and it was my surprise that he was a Nasa. Another one that I remember was at the beginning of having the double kayak, I did not stop taking octopus and since it was difficult for me to release them, I passed them to my partner and I started laughing. In order that of each exit I have an anecdote and a learning.

Do you have preferred brands of fishing gear?

I do not have any preferred brand.

What's in your box of decoys now?

A great variety of CYL lures, plumitas, chambeles, hooks, weights ... everything you need for a good day of fishing.

What advice would you give someone new to kayak fishing?

  • Let's look at the time before going fishing.
  • Let him always be accompanied.
  • Always carry a transmitter or mobile phone to be connected.
  • Wear clothing and adequate protection for the sun and cold. Very important the life jacket.
  • Take everything tied to the kayak (especially the oar).

All the above in terms of security and protection is quite important, but also tell him to enjoy the sea and fishing without stress "a few days more fish, others less and some nothing but you always enjoy."

If you could fish anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?

I ask that question again and again. Honestly the sea has its charm anywhere in the world and I really do not have preferences, although I like to fish with the sea well stirred.

Do you have some people that you admire in this sport?

I admire very much Diego Quiñones (champion of Spain 2015) for me as an example and Miguel Angel Sanchez Mancera my companion in almost all my outings and we are an inseparable team.

I have to thank many colleagues for their encouragement, support and advice by private and via Facebook. Thank you
