Fishing in the rain..

Posted January 10, 2009

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 …

Shark Season

Posted October 15, 2008

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…

Bluefish

Posted September 4, 2008

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…
