Blog posts in Margarita Segundo
End of the year big game fishing
Even though Xmas week wasn't very good, we've been having some really good fishing days this winter on the Margarita. What's more, in 2009 we probably had what must be the latest marlin we've ever caught: the last week of november. A beautiful fish of about 250 kilos which we released after a great …
Fishing charter in October
We have had this blog unattended for the last couple of months, but we hope to catch up and bring you the latest information with our fishing reports from Lanzarote. Here is one written by Dave, a fishing addict that works in the commercial department of our company, about a day's fishing with a par…
Summer fishing on the Margarita Segundo
The last few weeks on the Margarita Segundo have been really good. On tuesday 28th we caught the third blue marlin of the season, which unfortunatly died after the battle. The marlin, which weighted an excellent 255 kilos, was caught on an 80 lb rod by an english client that came fishing with his so…
Blue Marlin!!
It took some time, but one month later luck was again on our side and we caught our second marlin this season.
We left Puerto del Carmen on the Margarita heading Southeast, and not even half an hour had gone by, when the sonda showed a huge shoal of (probably) mackerel. We hanged around the area fo…
Marlin season begins in Lanzarote
Finally, we've had a good week's of fishing. Our colleagues at the Katfish have been fishing plenty of white trevally, with weights up to six kilos, and a couple of beautiful 20 kilo wahoos (an another one they lost) on thursday, but the real action has been on the Margarita Segundo as we became the…
Tuna season gets closer
These last few weeks trolling on the Margarita has not been exceptional, but we've had some pretty good day's fishing and some great moments. Tuna season is about to kick off, and we've already seen lots of red tuna between two and five kilo that we've been releasing as minimum size is therty kilos.…
December fishing in Lanzarote
Just like we've been doing these last few weeks, we've been alternating our fishing trips between our two boats, the Margarita and the Katfish. We finished november in the Margarita with one of the most popular catches of the month, a wahoo. This time it was a twenty kilo piece caught by a russian a…
Hammerhead 1 - Wahoo 0
Last saturday in the Margarita we were still suffering the bad weather conditions we've had most of the week here in Lanzarote, however we were quite lucky and we had a very entertaining day of fishing. Truth being said, the day was extremelly similar to tuesday, as we started off the day heading no…
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…
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…
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…
..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
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…
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…
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…
A week to forget
This last week has been pretty terrible on the Margarita Segundo, specially as our expectations were really high due to great fishing by the end of July and the first two weeks of August. The only days worth blogging about are tuesday, when we caught seven skipjack tuna that we released due to their…
