Read more..Many people consider Lanzarote to be the best fishing area of the Canary Islands. In contrast to the other Canary Islands, fishing in Lanzarote is characterized by its unique and peculiar marine geography, a result of the island emerging from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean by emissions of lava millions of years ago.
Lanzarote fishing is good all year round, being February, March & April the best months for giant bluefin tuna; whearas September, October & November are high season for pelagic species such as blue marlin, white marlin, dorado, albacore etc. Bottom fishing, jigging, inshore trolling can be done all year round targeting dentex, amberjack, barracuda, bonito and many other smaller bottom fish. ... and don't forget the national park of La Graciosa in the north: only a few boats can access this paradise for sport fishing lovers! La Graciosa is great for slow jigging, dead bait fishing, spinning. And always catch & release!

Great trip and a good captain Pincho.

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.

FISHING SEASON IN Lanzarote
Autumn and winter: Anchored or drifting, the best technique for fishing in Lanzarote during the autumn and winter is bottom fishing. With natural bait you can catch all kinds of rockfish, big stripe and sierra. With live bait (mackerel, choco or squid, for example) you can fish for amberjack or pink dentex.
During winter and early spring, migrating bluefin tuna, big eye tuna and albacore visit the area. They are caught trolling larger lures & artificials or natural dead bait. You can also fish tuna chumming sardines and mackerel drifting.
Spring and summer: In the summer, mackerel, sardine, "lacha" (the favourite food of wahoo), albacore, bonitos, white marlin and above all, the blue marlin can be found. 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. This time of year most boats fish trolling with big game fishing tackle (80lb or 120lb).
TOP SPECIES
Blue Marlin: With trolling, blue marlin can be caught with lures like octopus crawling behind the boat. Many fishermen say that in Lanzarote, the blue marlin actually starts when you reach the 500m isobath. This does not mean that they cannot 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 July 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.
Big Eye Tuna: Big eye tuna can be fished with artificial lures and sometimes with natural bait. Fishing big eye tuna in Lanzarote is especially done during the months of February, March and April.
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.
