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”.

Gareth Edwards has joined us, he has several years experience as a guide with Catmaster Tours. He will give us a further edge when fishing down stream at Mequinenza having guided fish for clients over 200lb (basically I have not really fished there much over the last seven years and lost touch a bit) I am sure that those of you taking up the option of fishing at Mequinenza will find his local knowledge second to none. He found out to his surprise during his first two months just how many fish we have been catching during the colder months. He has settled in well and I am sure he will be a great asset to the company

From March 2008 it’s also possible to fish at Catfish Capers and be guided by the Dutch guide Ronnie. and when you contact us through the Nederlands link you will be answered in Dutch by Angelique. From February 2008 Ronnie and Angelique will live in Caspe with their 2 daughters and help me any way they can to please Dutch speaking anglers.
