Fishing adventures in Spain, Poland, Morocco and China
Fishing the Vistula River at Puławy, in Poland (October, 2017)
First asp of the morningJacenty casts a 5 gram Mepps spinning lure…………… just reward, a Vistula River monsterGetting bigger all the timeAsp come in different colours; this one, a mixture of silver and sandA healthy pike, caught and safely returned. Quite a plump specimen, approximately 3-4 kilos.Our fishing took place in environs of Pulawy’s delightful old bridge. I would describe fishing the Vistula River as challenging, due to its huge scale; but, on its day, very rewarding. We fished all day with lures e.g. 5 gram Mepps spinners, or small wobblers. Using 3 kilo wire traces in side channels, where pike lay up. Or, straight to main line in the big channel.

My name is Phil Pembroke and I write fishing guide books - covering fly, sea and coarse fishing for Spain, France and Portugal.
Nothing compares to ordering a pint of Guiness - a favourite drink, in my local Romford bar and nothing compares to a two week holiday spent fishing for carp at my local lake in Dagenham, East London.
But the quest continues, to organise more fishing downtime. Fishing Bin El Ouidane lake in Morocco for virgin carp, with friends in 2007 was a wonderful experience. Ice fishing in Poland in 2017 was chilling.
I have spent time fishing for Bighead carp in north east China in 2010 and drunk the local whiskey. 2017 is the Chinese year of the Rooster (Gōngjī), the ultimate auspicious symbol signifying luck, romance and personality. May the celestial rooster bring good luck to anglers everywhere they chose to cast a line.
My blog has stories from near and far about fishing and travel, plus a few surprises.
my website has free fishing maps for all regions of Spain, and a lot of free information about fishing in western and central Europe, Morocco and China: www.spainfishing.com
