Der Ausflug hat sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Konnte einen kleinen Tunfisch an Bord ziehen. Das Kapitän war bemüht das jeder ein Fisch bekommt.
Michael Gotthardt
wir (alle auf dem Boot) haben 5 Thunfische gefangen (ca. 1,2kg) und unzählige Mengen von kleinen Fischen (Makrelen, Reeffischen, ... ---keine Ahnung, wie die alle heißen--- ), der Gonzalo war Klasse und hat sich sehr viel Mühe gemacht. Außerdem haben wir Wahle gesehen und 20 Delfine haben unser Boot mehrere Minuten mitgegleitet und rumgetobt (war sehr schönes Erlebnis!).

Le capitaine Javi est super sympa. L'accueil est chaleureux et il a tout prévu pour qu'on passe un bon moment. Le temps ne nous a pas permis d'aller chasser le thon mais Javi connais plein de coin oû on peut faire du poisson. D'ailleurs que des poissons que je ne connaissais pas.

It was my 9 year old son's first charter fishing trip and he absolutely loved it. Thanks to Jamie and his crew, my son caught his first Bonito. It really made his holiday. I can't rate these guys highly enough.

Tips & Tricks, bait and more
Whether you go trolling, big game fishing, bottom fishing, spinning or vertical jigging, Canary Islands fishing is about catching strong and big fish. Here are our 5 favourite species you can catch during your next fishing trip.
Marlin fishing in the Canary Islands
The Blue Marlin is the Canary Islands fishing favourite species to both novice and experienced angler. This powerful fish can provide quite some excitement and action during your next fishing trip. Make sure you have the right fishing tackle (such as Shimano Tiagra 80lb or even 120lb). The best time to fish them is from late may to November. They can grow up to 1000lb!
White marlin feeds on all kinds of fish, cephalopods and crustaceans. You’re most likely to catch them trolling artificial lures or natural dead bait. White marlin fishing in Canary Islands is best between June and November.
Amberjack
From November to January, the big amberjacks (30-50 kg) or medregales as they are called in the Canaries, go back up to the top of the trophy food pyramid. During these months, you can fish with live bait in optimum conditions: calmer sea and with temperatures between 23 and 25°C. For live-bait fishing, you should use a technique pattern that you have mastered to get the best results.
Bigeye Tuna
In the Canary Islands, you are most likely to fish big eye tuna by trolling with artificial lures and sometimes with natural bait. Big eye tuna and other bluefin tuna such as Albacore can be fished especially during the months of February, March and April.
Bocinegro
This dweller prefers subtropical Atlantic Ocean waters at low and medium depths. To catch this nice fish, it is recommended to use whole or piece of a prawn, cuttlefish or octopus on the fishhook. Other species you can catch while bottom fishing in Canary Islands are Moray eels, snapper, jack, red scorpion fish, barracuda, bonito, ray... just to name a few.
