Tony, captain from our Fishing Charter in La Gomera is preparing the blue marlin and tuna season. There’s quite some baitfish which is very good, because the big guys will arrive soon to chase them. “… I would let you know whats happening here in La Gomera,fish wise! Well both Jason and I have been out looking for Tuna on a few occassions but although all the signs are here so far no luck...this year there is lots of bait,and dolphins and whales enjoying the food. The Tuna will stay as will the Marlin because of this great quantity of bait, in fact I live in front of Playa de Santiago and every night pro Tuna boats come from as far away as Lanzarote to fill their live bait tanks. We just need to be patient and keep trying until the predators arrive. We both have been bottom fishing and sama (called snapper in New Zealand) have been taken of good sizes and we on my boat also released some nice Tope. On Sunday coming I want to try again for Tuna and will let you know if they are here ...take care, Tony" In Fuerteventura and Lanzarote fishing has been good in April. Our Fishing Charter in Lanzarote has been fishing a lot for big Amberjack and Sama with life bait. "... we have caught Skip jack tuna, Bonito (Atlantic Bonito) and amberjack. The pics are from Tuesday the 10th, when Henrik and Martin had a good day of fishing. First we caught the bait, Mackerel and several large squid. Then we used mackerel and the squid, and we caught and released a mid-sized amberjack, and a bonito. On our way back to the port we caught a nice skip jack tuna." In Fuerteventura, Capt. Victor had several good fishing trips. Using small jigs, inchiku and soft bait he had some nice Sama in shallow water of 5 - 10kg (11lb - 23lb). The Mediterranean Sea is warming up gradually and the fish is getting more and more active. There's quite some bait fish with lots of tuna. Due to the cold water (13°C in Northern Spain, 15°C towards the south) the predators a still a bit slow. When you try to approach the hunting tuna they hide immediately. Also, they are not concentrated, so you see some tuna jumping over here, then a few others over there. Very difficult for casting. Other species like dentex and amberjack are active around rocky areas. Oscar - fishing charter in Marbella - has been catching a lot of dentex in April in the area of Puerto Banus and Marbella. Juanma also had a couple of good days last month in the Gibraltar Strait. In the Ebro Delta we're having the transition from winter to summer. We catch less sea bass and sander (in the river) and we're seeing the first bluefish and leerfish in salt water.]]> Tue, 24 Apr 2012 16:02:30 +0000 http://www.dpesca.com/en/news/Tips-Techniques-Dacron-Loop-Hanger.html
Marlin-Fishing.jpg

We learned this excellent trick from Jason Walcott from Marlin Magazine. Many fishing guides use a Dacron loop attached to their main line to put into the outrigger or tag-line clip in order to protect the line from chafing. Usually, the loop size is as small as possible so it can’t hang up on the rod tip during battle. Dacron seems the best material to create the loop. “The loop is usually made by passing the Dacron through itself to create a loop, and then running the main line through the length of Dacron with the loop on the end.

One of the problems I’ve encountered is that after a few days of use, the Dacron starts to tear and the entire hanger usually needs to be replaced. To replace the hanger, the double line, wind-on leader and swivel must be removed and the main line cut back. To avoid having to do this, I’ve started doing a simple weave on my Dacron hangers and the loops at the top of my wind-on leaders. The wear is greatly reduced, and they last much longer. Here’s how you do it:

You need a 10-inch piece of Dacron the same weight as the main line; a 1-inch piece of mono (50-pound), melted smooth at both ends so it can be inserted into Dacron; wax (surf or lube wax); a needle splicing kit (looped and hollow needles); and a sharp cutter.

It might take a bit longer to make this hanger, but it saves time in the long run by lasting 10 times longer.”

The isle of Fuerteventura, just like Lanzarote or El Hierro for example, never suffered the real estate and touristic pressure like Gran Canaria and Tenerife. This is why sport fishing in Fuerteventura is not as popular as on the other islands. -->Book a Fishing Charter in Fuerteventura Many anglers believe that Fuerteventura is one the best places of the Canary Islands for sport fishing. This island is not only famous for sea fishing, but also for carp fishing. Fuerteventura and the other islands emerged from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean due to several volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. The majority of the countryside consists mainly of shades of reddish brown and black volcanic rock and sand. Under the surface of the ocean you’ll find an extremely rich rocky bottom with stones, holes, drop-offs and many interesting sport fishing species.

Fishing Holidays in Fuerteventura The privileged geographic location of this Island, its subtropical climate and the oceanic currents provide Fuerteventura with an abundant marine wildlife. There is a huge number of both sedentary and migratory species. Whether you practice spinning, jigging, coastal trolling, bottom fishing, light tackle fishing, shark fishing or big-game fishing, the possibilities Fuerteventura offers the fishermen are immense... and the opportunity of capturing the fish of your life as well. Jigging in Fuerteventura The rocky bottoms that feature sandy patches, slopes, drop-offs, boulders and wrecks are an oasis for vertical jigging. You can fish vertically during the whole season and catch Atlantic Bonito, grouper, wahoo, barracudas, pink dentex, dentex, etc. We strongly recommend booking a good Fishing Charter in Fuerteventura and an experienced fishing guide who knows the area, the currents, the tides, etc. You have to know exactly where and when to drop your jig. If not, the possibilities of catching something decrease significantly. Light Tackle Trolling in Fuerteventura Fishing with light tackle (equipments of 20-30 lbs) and small lures can produce quite some fish. You can have unforgettable sessions fishing species such as bonito, red porgi, wahoo, Atlantic bonito, barracuda, Moroccan dentex, amberjack, bluefish, tuna (big eye tuna and yellow-fin tuna), guilthead etc.

 Big Game Fishing in Fuerteventura Fuerteventura is a great place for big game fishing. It’s one of the world’s best know places for Atlantic Blue Marlin fishing. You can reach high seas within minutes as the continental shelf ends only a few miles from the coast. The subtropical climate, the oceanic currents and the huge supply of pelagic baitfish such as mackerel, tuna and bonito make the blue marlin feel at home in these waters between June and mid-November. Apart from Blue Marlin, the catches also include white marlin, dolphin fish, yellow fin tuna, big eye tuna and skipjack. Every year in September, the Big Game Fishing Tournament takes place in the Gran Tarajal harbour. This event attracts fisherman to Fuerteventura waters from all over the globe. For those who like shark fishing, there’s an area off Fuerteventura with marine mounts where it’s only 27 m deep (around these mounts its 1000m deep). The only good period to fish here – due to the weather conditions – is end-September and October. Normally we fish for hammer shark with life bait, using a wahoo as a teaser. You’ll catch hammer shark up to 600lbs just behind the boat. These fishing trips use to be very spectacular. ]]> Wed, 04 Jan 2012 17:28:14 +0000 http://www.dpesca.com/en/news/schenk-hem-een-vistrip-cadeau-voor-kerst.html

Fishing The first tuna show up towards April. At this stage, the fish is not very active which won’t make it easy to catch one. When the sea warms up, tuna gets more and more active. The best months for tuna fishing – not only blue fin, but also species like Little Tunny e.g. – are June, July, August and September. Local Spanish fishing charters normally fish in a traditional way: trolling or chumming. These techniques are efficient, but sometimes tuna wants a little more action. The most spectacular way to catch these fantastic animals is casting with jigs, poppers or stick bait. The best technique to catch giant blue fin tuna (900lb+) is chumming with sardines, mackerel, anchovy, etc. Normally, 80lb or 130b tackle is used for this big game fishing. You can catch these monsters only 3 or 4 miles off the coast of L'Ametlla de Mar!
