Madrid and it’s Entrono for Carp Fishing


Posted on April 29, 2009 - Filed Under Fish, Fishing

I have been fishing for Carp in Madrid now for quite sometime. As each year passes, we see progress and bigger fish being landed. It’s fair to say that Madrid has at least 7 venues now with 40lb carp in. All of which are good and bad for wild and varied reasons. Some of them have no or limited access, others are policed too much, the others are large waters with many small fish. One of the better lakes in the city a small park lake I am very fond of. I can say this for several reasons but the main one being that it has some cracking fish with a good average weight of 24-28lb. Actually I have never caught a fish smaller than 20lb for the lake. It also has to my surprise Comizo barbel. These fish have been put in by a man I met last weekend while fishing the water. The chap told me in the morning he had put these fish between 6lb and 9lb in the lake. About 2 hr. after he told me I went for a walk around the lake and spotted two of these barbel in the crystal clear water, they looked happy enough, and interestingly enough they were not part of or staying with the carp which were also near by. It’s therefore possible that Carp and Comizo dont mix perhaps as much as say Tench and Carp, but don’t hold me on that one, like everything these things need a little more time to study. During the session I managed to winkle a fish out, it fell to a Mainline Tutti Frutti 15mm Pop-up cast on it’s head at short range early morning. It was nice to see the rod rip off with no alarm (I had switched it off), when I was playing the fish I thought it was an old friend of mine Quasi. Quasi the upper 20lb Carp I have now had a couple of times. He’s an obvious fish because of his form. As it turns out and as we suspected this fish was actually another one. You could call him Papa Quasi as he’s a little bigger than the other. At a pinch over 14.5kg (31lb 09oz), I was happy to have him in. He was my first fish of the year from the lake and a welcome one. You can see from his shape in this photo that he’s a little malformed. Seems that perhaps he has had an incident with a pike way back. One of the locals Diego did the photos for me. Actually while talking with Diego it turned out that he has a beautiful house for sale on the banks of the lake. I was invited into the house to see it and I have to say it’s something else. I am waiting for more info. and photos from him. When I have them I will post up here on the blog the photos and full specifications of the house. It’s an ideal place for an Angler to retire in Spain. It would also be the perfect house for a guide to set-up and fish the water. As I know it comes with 6 bedrooms and plenty more. For someone looking to get into Madrid on the back of a fantastic lake with fish to 50lb. This could be a ideal. Well, I must run now, I have the next magazine to close and lot’s to do. May the fish be with you.
