An interview with Joan BCN of Team Galaxy
Age: 37
Nickname: Joan Kayak Bcn
Where are you from: Terrassa, Western Valleys about 30 km from Barcelona
Profession: Commercial. Collaborator in Galaxy Kayaks and in Yuki.
Favorite fish: Each and every one of them has its potential if we catch it with the right equipment. If I have to choose one, I choose trout and black bass in fresh water. In the sea I am obsessed with the Anjovas and the Tunidos in general. La llampua also occupies a prominent place on the podium.
Favorite technique: without a doubt the spinning on board the Alboran! to top water what more and if it is not possible jigging in kayak.
Favorite fishing places: I am lucky to live in a land with great fishing destinations; those that still take away my sleep are especially the Delta del Ebro and certain corners of the Costa Brava.
In fresh water rivers and reservoirs drive me crazy. To name a few; Escales, Canelles, Santana, llobregat, ter ... lakes of high montanya are my weakness, although navigable are the ones that hook me the most! Of all the disciplines Kayak fishing is without a doubt my favorite.
How much time do you practice kayaking: Whenever I can. I try not to spend a week without leaving. At sea depending on the forecasts, in fresh water depending on the seasons.
First impressions about the Galaxy Alboran kayak: They could not be better! for the intensive and exclusive use of fishing both in sea and in reservoirs, it is simply the most complete one I have tested so far; Multiple cane, very stable at the same time fast for the size and width it has, tight spaces for the transport of material ... an adjective: complete. It was love at first sight, although I already knew the kayak so far I did not have the pleasure of trying it! wishing to give cane to butt!
Any blog that writes or social media:
My own, in which, by the way, I'm preparing an entry on the first outings with the Galaxy Alboran. The link is //joankayakbcn.blogspot.com.es
When did fishing begin and how did you get involved in that?
Fishing since I have, if I have never had, use of reason; You start with your uncles to fish to surf casting on the beach and to cork in swamp and the poison takes you to the spinning and the fly.
Let's talk about your most memorable fishing experience:
There are many, I enjoy as a schoolboy in every outing I fish or I do not fish. Right now I can not help but remember my last kayak trip through the Delta del Ebro fishing anjovas to surface with very good friends. What more could you want?
Do you have preferred brands of fishing gear?
Of course!!! Yuki; Special rods for each situation, multi-purpose reels, and lures for each situation.
What's in your box of decoys now?
Fishus, a bit of Fishus .... and yes! Do not neglect me ... another little bit of Fishus.
What advice would you give someone new to kayak fishing?
Never leave, never repeat, and never never alone; Do not leave by swamp, or in the best weather conditions: do not leave alone.
Carry a radio especially if you go out to sea.
To enjoy the maximum of the pleasure of paddling, to exercise, not to pollute, is a world that only those who practice this modality know that drives me mad.
Better to take everything tied; rods, indispensable rowing, mandatory vest ...
INDISPENSABLE go through the web of Galaxy kayaks and equip themselves in conditions, they have everything firing !!! kayaks, carts, vests, probes, shovels, T-O-D-O ... and at what prices!
If you could fish anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
Canada for salmonids and landscapes, I would go down the lakes of Mexico for giant basses, I would pass through Brazil for river monsters and I would end up in Patagonia for dream trout ... almost nothing! hehehe
Do you have some people that you admire in this sport?
To each of my fishing partners. Those that I already know and those that I need to know. Of all you learn something! and I love learning. If I have to name some, it would undoubtedly be Omar de Yuki, Toni Cifre, Raul Marti, Ruben Sevillano, Eric Vilamu, Marc Ruz, Hector Rivas, Ivan Grabolosa, Jordi Vilarasa, Arnau Mas, Michel Villahoz, Jose A. Fernandez, Ramon Gregorio, Toni Mrtinez Cardenete ... and I leave a lot! and of course, the members of the Galaxy team!
What are your 5 tips for fishing?
Enjoy As if it were the last fishing trip! but without stress, just enjoy it!
Humility; You will always learn something new from your classmates and it is an incredible feeling
Respect; to your companions, to the environment, to your captures ...
Overcoming; to each capture believes more in you, something you have done well to make the capture, not everything is luck although it influences and much
Practice; and practice and do not stop practicing, go out as much as you can. We live a single life and I would not like to move to the other neighborhood or something will happen to me and think I could have done and I did not ... and above all with company! it is a hobby that is accompanied much more is enjoyed!
