First Blue Marlin of the season!
This year took longer than last year, but finally today we caught the 1st blue marlin of the season. It was almost three o'clock and we were approaching the harbour of Puerto del Carmen when all of a sudden one of the 80lb reels began screaming. We soon realised it was a Blue Marlin, not only had we…
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…
Ladies also fish!
The last two trips on the Katfish have been quite entertaining, but not only for the fish caught, but due to the fact that the best catches on both days where caught by ladies! On wednesday it was a lovely polish(?) girl that caught a beautiful white trevally. Plenty of black sea bream, two more whi…
4 months of this fishing website
This week this website/blog became four months old, and to cellebrate we caught another wahoo of 25kilos. Truth being said, it's not so busy now as it was these past months; demand has dropped, and we're only going out twice or thrice on each boat, so that's the main reason we're not posting that mu…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Giant Barracuda
Days like yesterday do make our job a great great job. Even though we ended up just catching few fish, there was plenty of action on the Katfish for everyone to enjoy.
These last few days there had been plenty of currents on our usual anchoring spots, however yesterday the current seemed to stop. Af…
Barracudas & Atlantic Bonito
This last week we have been catching plenty of Atlantic bonito on the Katfish, with daily catches going from one to five kilos. However, the most exciting catches for our fishermen seemed to be the barracudas we fished on wednesday and friday, specially the later, as we caught a quite impressive 3 k…
Heads & Tails
As there's been reports of many marlín in the area (many of them from our colleagues on the Margarita Segundo), today we decided to go marlin fishing for a couple of hours with no luck. All we found was a pretty large group of dolphins that looked to be feeding on large balls of baitfish. Later whi…
