In a friendly atmosphere, I can offer you holidays on huge, wild lakes with plenty of fish and over 50,000 hectares of navigable land. Together, we'll share the catching of record pikes in terms of size and quantity under the Extremadura sun. Between cacti and eucalyptus, we'll be hunting them down using a host of different techniques, which I'll be delighted to share with you. 

Introduced by Franco several years ago, the pike has found a favourable habitat for its development. 
The lakes are home to a phenomenal quantity of forage fish, which encourages the rapid growth of fish. pike.
In Extremadura, the pike of 60/80cm are legion and large specimens of 90 and over a metre are in exceptional supply.
With hard or soft lures, every cast can be a surprise - and maybe even the fish of your life!
You'll be able to test yourself against large specimens of this fabulous sport fish.

Information about your guide

Matthieu

I've been an avid fisherman since I was a child, and it was in this field that I decided to start my career 3 years ago...
A competitor at heart, and French Black Bass Champion in 2011 and 2014, I decided to share my techniques and knowledge. I moved to Extremadura where, for 3 years, I worked as a fishing guide... A real pleasure! Addicted to all the techniques of predator fishing, I invite you to Extremadura for a merciless hunt for the monsters that haunt the area: pike and black-bass.
