SEA FISHING IN EUROPE 



465 



IV.— THE SPANISH COAST 



With the exception of a few fairly successful outings off Algeciras and 

 round by Catalan Bay, I know nothing of sea fishing in Spanish waters ; but 

 Mr. Pablo Larios writes me from Gibraltar that he has had exciting sport 

 with fair-sized tunny on rod and line in the vicinity of Tarifa. These fish, of 

 which two photographs are here reproduced, promise to be a substitute for 

 tarpon that may attract many who, with short holidays, like their fishing 

 grounds near home, 



Mr. Larios conceived the idea of trying for these great fish in the Straits 

 on English tackle, and the results have amply rewarded his experiments in 

 a new field of sport, the fish running to over 50 lbs. weight
