Fishing at Junquicos
The event took place in waters near Torrevieja, in the area known as Junquicos, south-east of Punta Prima, above a rocky seabed at a depth of around 30 metres.
The fishing session ran on Sunday from eight in the morning until two in the afternoon, using prawns as bait, with a minimum fish size of 15 centimetres required for this contest.
Catches were scored on board according to species: fish known locally as serranos earned two points, while pargos and pageles earned five, rather than the fish being taken for weighing.
Most of the fish were returned to the sea or donated, according to information from Guzmán Aniorte reported by Pesca Torrevieja.
Final round in December
The third and final round is scheduled for 6 December and will determine the final standings in the Torrevieja club’s pairs fishing league.
