Marlin fishing continues!
After wednesday's catch, we were really enthusiastic about going fishing today, especially as we didn't have the chance to go yesterday; and just as we thought, marlin season has began here in Lanzarote, as we've had two strikes today, and we know that other boats also had some.
The first one was s…
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…
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 …
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…
Summer has finally arrived to Lanzarote
Fishing in June has been quite better than previous months, with our boat Margarita Segundo catching the very first blue marlin of the season in Lanzarote. There has only been another marlin catch since then, by a private boat last week, but surely marlin catches will be more frequent in July.
In th…
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…
First marlin of 2009
Last monday the very first marlin of the season was caught in Canarian waters by the boat Dorado, from Puerto Rico in Gran Canaria. We'd like to congratulate them for achieving such feat.
Hopefully in a couple of weeks we'll be seeing some Blue Marlin within Lanzarote and Fuerteventura waters.
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…
