Captain Berto is proud to be one of only two fishing charters granted permission that allows him access to fish in Europe’s largest natural marine reserve around La Graciosa. The area covers the Islands of La Graciosa and Alegranza, north of Lanzarote. It’s obvious that the waters here are home to amazing fishing opportunities that will result in catches of massive groupers, amberjack, barracuda, large snapper and red scorpion fish.<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>In the months of January & February pelagic species such as bigeye tuna, bluefin tuna and albacore frequently visit the area to feed on the large shoals of mackerel and sardine. In fact, at this very moment, large schools of giant bluefin tuna, some with a size of over 250kg, are being spotted and most importantly successfully caught almost every day throughout the area. It\u2019s an exciting time of year to be fishing in these waters with Capt Berto.<\/span><\/p>\n By trolling with heavy tackle (80lb), Berto targets these enormous bluefin tuna, whereas the smaller bigeyes can be caught casting top water lures. This is a great way to vary up your charter trip and also allows clients to use a variety of exciting fishing techniques. Last week, the bluefins wouldn’t bite, but the bigeyes where quite active offering multiple simultaneous strikes. One particular group had great fun on their trip and even managed to hook up and successfully catch 5 tuna at the same time during their day tuna fishing<\/a> on the water. Also on other islands such as Tenerife, Fuerteventura and La Gomera there where massive tuna frenzies<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\nThe Tuna Season is on<\/h2>\n
