Hi from Mequenenza.

Sandra and myself are fine and getting nicely sun burnt as the weather here at the moment is sweltering after the first few days when it was foggy and then blowing a full gale, (for 4 solid days).
That didn't sit well as we could not have the satellite dish up for Coronation St and Emerdale for Sandra!.
Today is Wed the 11th of March and time is storming on and we will be making our way back home in a few weeks, the time has flown and I can speak for us both that we have never been bored once, even when the weather was a bit challenging.
Talk about challenging the fishing here certainly is, so far no fish!, even though I am fishing into the we small hours and sometimes through the night.
We fish and sunbathe during the day, have our tea about 5/6 pm then Sandra settles down to a couple of hours telly now we are back into Astra 2 satellite which has all our home channels on. I sit in the front passenger seat to watch the rods just in case something picks up the bait, which is 2 no 25mm pellets.
I have had 2 runs at about 11 pm on separate nights, the first broke me off after a few Min's the second as I picked up the rod both fish were enormous and felt like steam trains, maybe they were Saluru (Catfish). I have had a few alarm bites but they might have been line bites.
I have just been speaking to one of the local guides who told me where to get a wifi signal, and bugger me it works albeit at only 11 meg, and it keep dropping in and out, but hey ho beggars can't be choosers.
We have become word famous over here as every body keeps dropping in for a chat and discuss the fishing or lack of it, it seems nobody is catching anything at the moment, well this hot weather should warm the water up, we still have 13 more days fishing here.
We can get water at the local Pesca Articles shop (Tackle shop), as long as we buy stuff off him he seems fine.
Talking about tackle Sandra took our Evie down the far bank for a walk yesterday and there was two guys fishing with poles, being nosey she went over to have a look and promptly stood on one of his whip poles and cracked it, she paid him 50 euros to get a replacement. what can I say!, I thought she was deaf not blind.

Any way I will sign off now and let you know what is happening later.
