Tuesdays' Wahoos
Last week's best catch in the Margarita was a 30 kilo wahoo caugth by a scotish angler on tuesday. Funnily enough, today, also a tuesday, we've caught another similar wahoo. I'd love another one next tuesday... in any case here's a summary of our fishing today as it has been pretty good:
We left t…
Quiet week on the Katfish
Last week has been pretty poor on the Katfish, mainly due to the bad weather and the strong Northwest wind. We started off doing quite well on monday, with a 20 kilo wahoo and a three kilo barracuda caugh by a welsh and a polish fishermen respectivelly. However wednesday turned up to be a very bad d…
Wahoo fishing in Lanzarote
Last wednesday it was a great day of fishing. Oddly enough, this week the two skippers of both Margarita Segundo and Katfish have been fishing together as our crew is out on a course in the fishing school here in Lanzarote. The week started with no big catches but being quite entertaining, however w…
Fishing Barracudas
Monday on the Katfish did not see us fishing any big catch, but it was very entertaining nevertheless. We managed to fish three nice barracudas, a white trevally and plenty of black bream. Funnily enough the biggest of the barracudas (4k) was caught by a ten year old kid that had a really great time…
Shark Season
Last week on the Margarita Segundo was quite good for shark fishing, waters are warm after being heated all summer long, so there are plenty of sharks about. Our first day out was tuesday, and after three hours of trolling we had only caught a small dolphinfish. However, we spotted a shark fin, so w…
Great Manta fight
After a disasterous monday, yesterday was once again a great day of fishing on the Katfish. We started off the day with an Atlantic Bonito while trolling, and two more once anchored, as well as a three kilo barracuda using live bait. A bit later we had one of the most incredible fights in a long tim…
A great week's fishing
The week in the Katfish ended just as it begun, with great fishing. Soon after we anchored we had plenty of small fish and a 5 kilo stingray. Later we caught a barracuda of over two kilousing live bait, and while we were trolling back to the harbour, the biggest catch of the week, a 18 kilo wahoo. H…
Lanzarote's October Fishing
Last week we've only been fishing four days on the Margarita Segundo, and in each one of them we've had our fair share of Atlantic bonitos; they're not extremelly big catches but they still give quite a nice fight, plus they are extremelly handy when you spot a Hammerhead Shark, as we did last frida…
It's so good to fish in Lanzarote!
After a great start of the week we were quite optimistic as to having a good week of fishing, but yesterday (the second day the Katfish has been out this week) exceeded our best expectations. We began the day trolling with no luck to our anchoring spot; however, soon after we got there, we had a bit…
