Leuke vis dag gehad. So
Samen met mijn zoon van 13 en het vrouwtje. Veel gevangen en goed verzorgd.

Die Tour war zwar nicht sonderlich erfolgreich, aber das ist eben so beim Angeln. Kapitän und die Crew haben sich bemüht die in der Gegend eigentlich fängigen Plätze abzufahren. Da ich das Fischradar auch im Auge hatte bleibt nur zu sagen leider heute kein bzw. wenig Fisch vorhanden. Dafür kann aber die Crew nichts! Durch die dadurch gegebene Zeit zum Reden habe ich gerade für das Angeln auf den Kanaren (obwohl ich schon mehrfach dort sowohl vom Ufer als auch vom Boot geangelt haben) noch einiges gelernt. Das Angeln war gemischt aus Trolling und Jigging. Ich habe hier den Stern nur auf Grund des geringen Fangs abgezogen.

The billfish visit the island from early July to November, but the best months for fishing in Lanzarote are the months of September, October & early November.

What fish do you catch in Lanzarote?
Blue Marlin
Blue marlin are caught trolling lures offshore, between June and November. Many fishermen say that in Lanzarote, the blue marlin actually starts when you reach the 500m isobath. This doesn't mean they can't be found closer to the coast since it would not be the first time that a Marlin attacking the bait just when we are walking out the port in just 70m.
The best time for fishing blue marlin in Lanzarote is from June to November.
White marlin
White marlin usually move in small groups in waters more than 100m deep. The white marlin feeds on all kinds of fish, cephalopods and crustaceans. The best time for fishing white marlin in Lanzarote is from July to November, just like the blue marlin.
Amberjack
From November to January the big amberjacks (30-50 kg), or medregal as they are called in the Canary Islands, relieve the "picudos" at the top of the food pyramid. Lanzarote fishing with live bait requires a fisherman who knows this technique to perfection. You can fish to the drift or by trolling. Fishing medregal in Lanzarote is also one of the most desired activities for practicing jigging.
Bigeye Tuna
Big eye tuna can be fished with artificial lures and sometimes with natural bait. The peak season for tuna in Lanzarote usually is February, March, April and May.
Grouper
The grouper is found in rocky areas where it is well camouflaged by its brown and white spots. The best way to catch the grouper is using natural bait (squid, mackerel or choco for example) to the drift or by trolling. It can also be fished with jigging. Once it is caught, it is important to try to "raise it" from the seabed, because if he has the slightest possibility, he will escape into a hole where it is virtually impossible to get to him.
