Bottom fishing in Lanzarote
This december has seen the Katfish fishing the biggest amberjack of the last 10 years. An incredible catch of more than 40 kilos! Funnily enough we began the day with another amberjack of 14 kilos, but everyone was amazed at the size of the second one.
In early december we also had a great 30 kilo
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…
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…
A Beautiful Bonito
These last few days there has not been any great catches. We are concentrating more on bottom fishing on the Katfish as trolling as not been very successfull lately. Even so, last wednesday we had a beautiful atlantic bonito of over four kilo and two more of three and thwo and a half kilo. The other…
Fishing in the rain..
Even though we've been having great weather since the begining of the year, yesterday was particularly cold and rainy, something quite unusual for Lanzarote, but even so, we had a good day's fishing on the Katfish.
We didn't have a single bite while trolling to our anchoring spot, but once there we …
Atlantic Bonito for Xmas..
Traditionally Christmas in the Canary Islands begins the friday right before Christmas' eve, as it's usually in that weekend that things begin to get busier over here with plenty of tourists arriving in the islands. This year looks quieter than any other, but friday 19th was busy enough out there in…
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…
Great Bottom Fishing and even better Trolling
This last week, fishing in Lanzarote has improved quite a lot. Not so much on the Margarita, as we tried a couple of days to go out searching for marlin with no luck; but definitelly on the Katfish where both bottom fishing and coastal trolling have been very entertaining.
Wednesday, for instance, w…
It's Oh So Quiet (No more wahoo)
Wahoo season seems to have taken a break. Fishing it's not what it used to be two weeks ago, and last week was quite poor on the Katfish, with plenty of atlantic bonito and skipjack tuna, but nothing bigger than that.
Nevertheless, yesterday we had a pretty good fight with a forty kilo manta ray (th…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
