Great Snapper
Las week was quite poor on the Katfish with an atlantic bonito of four kilos as our biggest catch of the week. However this week could not begin better. Yesterday we caught an impressive spapper of almost seven kilo caught with live bait (a black sea bream) at 30 metres depth. Not only that, as we a…
..and yet another wahoo
Luck seems to be on our side this week in the Margarita Segundo, as today we had another excelent wahoo catch. We were trolling in the same area as we hooked a double header the day before when all of a sudden we had a wahoo strike. We lost that one, but we soon had another strike which after a grea…
Two wrongs make two rights
After a couple of boring days without good catches, today has been quite exciting on the Margarita Segundo. Soon after we left, we caught quite a few Dolphinfish and Frigate Tuna; as they were pretty small (around one kilo) we put them back into the sea. However, we kept two Frigate Tuna, that were …
Marina Rubicon review
The fishing tournament of Marina Rubicon has become the most prestigious in Lanzarote in recent years, so we were really looking forward to it. However, marlin fishing has been really poor since mid-summer, and just like Puerto Calero tournament, the number of Marlin catches were also very low: Two
Great Wahoo
Yesterday on the Katfish we had a great day of fishing. The main catch was a magnificent wahoo of more than 30 kilos caught by a very nice guy from London (arsenal supporter) after a great 35 minute fight. Later on, we caught a couple of barracudas of about three kilo each, and an atlantic bonito of…
Shark time!
15/09/08
Today the Margarita Segundo was lucky to fish a Hammerhead Shark around 130kg . We were informed by another boat that there was a large hammerhead on the surface about a mile from where we were , so we quickly reeled in the lures for Marlin and prepared a small tuna on a wire rig ready to h…
Bluefish part II
Today I was meaning to post the photo of the Bluefish we caughton the Katfish last week, but I have to upload it right next to another of a Bluefish we caught yesterday! It could very well be a clon as they both weighted a good six kilos. Oddly enough, it was caught by a client from New Zealand! pro…
Puerto Calero Tournament - Review
Very little to tell about the XV Puerto Calero Fishing tournament. Basically, it was as dissapointing as these last few weeks of marlin fishing; 40 boats taking part in the competition and only five blue marlin caught (and released) in three days.A real shame as the weather was fantastic as the "Sep…
Bluefish
Yesterday looked like it was going to be a very quiet day on the Katfish. We didn't get a single bite while trolling and the first hour at bottom fishing wasn't very encouraging neither, just the small everyday catches. But all of a sudden we had two really strong bites that cut the leaders of our l…
Wahoo!
Last friday we had a very nice catch on the Katfish. A Wahoo that weighted over 20 kilo and was caught while trolling to one of our usual anchoring spots. About 09:30 it was already hooked and after a classy fight of about 40 minutes, I finally gaffed the fish aboard. A beautiful catch of one of my …
Yet another bad week
This last week has been pretty terrible on the Margarita Segundo, especially due to the northeast winds (called Alisios winds here) which have been particularly strong latelly. Luckily weather forecasts say that from today they are turning weaker, and hopefully will be the beginning of the so-called…
