About Us

Hi
I am Martin Walker a self confessed catfish nut since the early 90's and I run Catfish Capers on the River Ebro in the town of Caspe in Northern Spain. Prior to this I ran Catfishing 98, 99 and 2000 in France on the Rivers Tarn and Saone, guiding clients to 100lb plus fish on both venues, these were bivvy based trips using an eight foot dinghy to row out baits, oh boy have things moved on since then. In 2000 I decided to change the name, adding another year to catfishing was becoming a pain. I wanted to have catfish in the name and another word that reflected fun and enjoyment and if it started with a C and was about the same length then so much the better. Then out of the blue came capers, I checked my dictionary caper “a high-spirited escapade” and our name was born “Catfish Capers”.

In 2001 I purchased a 21ft dory and rented a villa on the edge of Mequinenza. Paul Young and the crew of “ Hooked on Fishing” came down to make a programme during which Paul had our largest fish of the year from the top lake at 128lb. My clients then had a choice of boat fishing up on the top lake or bank fishing at Mequinenza. After the peace and quite of the top lake most of my clients just wanted to continue up there so the following year I moved up to Caspe. Since 2002 we have been based in Caspe with two apartments above “La Bodeguita” restaurant, adding “La Barca” just outside Chiprana at the end of 2005
