Bien, pero no tuvimos suerte
Muy bien, lastima que no tubieramos suerte con la pesca, vimos mucho pescado, cetaceos y demas, pero la pesca se resistio, estuvimos muy bien, gracias. - Richard, Pamplona
Overall, it certainly was a nice day. We enjoyed ourselves.
Geraria is a beautiful town and historically is a fishing town so what better way to see the city than from a fishing boat. The boat was a wonderful fishing boat and very comfortable. Aitor is a fine captain and great host. We had a good time with him and learned about Basque Country living. He had drinks and offered wine and served dried chorizo and fresh bread. We all liked him very much.
He did get us onto some fish, but honestly the bay fishing was not worthwhile on its own. You did tell us the fish would be smaller if we fished close to shore, but you did not tell us how small the fish were. Fish were about the size of a medium sized man's palm. It was difficult to tell when they were on the line, no fight. And then you had to reel up 60 meters! I would not recommend this type of fishing for anyone who is a fisherman. Only good for little kids who want to see a fish on the line. - Mark, Houston
