Fishing dvd - Lake Escapes Blue Marlin And Wahoo

Matt Hayes - regarded as one of the best all-round anglers in the UK - packed his tackle and suitcase for a series of journeys, which took him from the wilds of the Arctic Circle to the warm riverside's of Spain. From airport to lakeside Matt shows viewers how accessible, affordable and exciting weekend fishing breaks can be. Joining Matt on his travels were some of Europe's top anglers giving him an insider's view on Europe's top fishing destinations. Close to home Matt fished for pike in the Lake District and sea trout on the River Towy in Wales. Casting his net a little wider he also travelled to Madeira to catch the mighty Wahoo, the Azores to fish for Marlin and took his first trip to the Catfish mecca of Mequnienza in Spain, on the banks of the Ebro, where he managed to land a 156lb beauty. This exotic programme sees Matt jet-setting off to the heavenly Azores. Here the pure blue waters have long been famous for their abundance of tuna, and are increasingly winning a similar fame for their swordfish and marlin. Matt spends a tantalising few days learning complex big-fishing techniques, and persevering admirably in his battle to lure the blue and white marlin to his bait. He then heads to Madeira where, aboard the Katherine B, he catches and examines a skipjack and some vicious wahoo, with the help of an expert who has left his home in Australia to devote his life to the hunt for these big fish.
