    (8 Hour Trip – Offshore)

    Fishing Days Inshore & offshore

    We spent two days fishing with Gerard! Both in the bay and outside in the open sea. He adapted to the wind conditions and sought the most favorable moment. To turn both days into unforgettable days of fishing through the Ebro Delta.

Leerfish, also called Garrick, are fast, hard-hitting predators from the Jack family. Anglers target them for fierce surface strikes, long runs, and steady power. They are respected sport fish and also make good table fare when regulations allow.

Most captains target Leerfish with spinning and popping near current lines, reefs, and surf edges. Live bait such as Sardines or Mullet works well, slow-trolled or drifted. Topwater plugs and stickbaits draw explosive hits. Fly fishing with large baitfish patterns also works when fish push bait near the surface. Use a medium-heavy rod, a smooth drag, and abrasion-resistant leader.

Expect fast action when schools are feeding. Strikes often happen close to the boat or shore, so keep casts accurate and retrieves quick. This trip suits anglers who enjoy visual bites and active casting. Bring sun protection, non-slip shoes, and a hat. Captains usually provide tackle, but ask ahead if you prefer to bring your own lures or fly gear. Be ready to move and cover water until you find bait and birds.

Rules can change by area. Before your trip, check local fishing license and permit needs. Confirm open seasons, gear rules, and harvest limits. If in doubt, practice catch and release and follow your captain’s guidance.
