My wife wants to go to the Canaries for a holiday---I want to go fishing. Does anyone know what the fishing is like in the Canaries? Maybe we can have the best of both worlds and family harmony

I fished the canaries last year( Tenerife) The cost of a boat marlin fishing was about
Eighty quid each, food was provided with all the beer you can drink.The skipper wont go out
with less than four anglers.you can book the boat from an agency over there or enquire at the
marina.I had a great time landing three wahoo to sixty pounds.It's expensive but well worth it.
There are boats going out general fishing as they call it but apeared a bit ropey.
Plenty of anglers along the rocks but have no details of catches.
I hope this is of help,enjoy your holiday and good luck.

There are also reservoirs up in the mountains. Kevin Nash and Dave Plummer caught some monster carp from there. Thats where Nasheys bivvie thingy was conceived coz he had his bivvie blown away due to the wind. Aparently there are also loads of smaller carp up to low doubles. They take boilies, meat, bread etc.

Carp Angler....i think that was Cyprus. Certainly, i never knew of any postings to the Canaries...or else my name would have been at the top of the list....twice!!
Just remembered...it was the Titan bivvy that was based on the trees Kevin had seen in the canaries whilst carp fishing. The trees were short and squatt so the wind did not catch them, and apparently he used there shape for the Titan. I seem to recall him catching fish of 40lb + Maybe give him a call....he is very approachable.

Iwent to Grand Canaria last year and went big game fishing for the day from Perto Base, next to perto Rico.
I went out with only two other anglers Trolling with big mackeral rappala's.
Each of us caught Blue Marlin, mine was estimated at 380kgs the others at 420kgs and 550kgs, and tuna to about 55kgs and 1 Dorado (Dolfinfish) at around 20kgs. All fish were returned alive, except 1 Tuna of about 12kgs which was BBQed on board for lunch.
The cost 6000pts each or about ?24. Which includes lunch and soft drinks.
If you look at the forum thread titled Canarias that posted earlier in the year, it gives the boat names and contact details( I fished on the boat called Sailfish)

Hi!
You can always go to Gran CAnaria. Gran Canaria is known for the year-round sunshine, the beaches like those from Güigüi, the famous dunes of Maspalomas or Playa del Inglés and its mild temperatures. It's a hotspot for windsurfing, surfing and scuba diving. In the interior you'll find amazing landscapes which are ideal for hiking, cycle touring or rock climbing.
Fishing in Gran Canaria is synonymous with relaxation and great action at the same time. The island offers spectacular fishing conditions that are only a three hour flight away. Like all the islands in the Canary archipelago, fishing in Gran Canaria is characterised by the existence of sedentary species and migrating fish.

If you plan to stay in Tenerife, then please choose the North part of the island. Much more interesting from any perspective - landscape, history, natural beaches, food, hotel prices...
The South is a McDonalds-ready tourist place. I remember telling my wife to wait for dinner till 10 pm - at this time we were back and all cards had switched from English to Spanish, and - believe me!- prices divided by 2.
The sand in the south is artificial as well which makes all beaches the same.
In the North you'll be able to do kayak fishing, rock fishing, or surfcasting into rocky areas where there's much more fish.

Hello Sylvanillo,
Have you ever fished off (the island of) La Palma? Especially from the shore? I am heading down there (again) soon.

I haven't but I doubt you will be disappointed because it's about the same fishing approach on the islands: look for rocky areas, or join known stretches on the coast.
canaryfishing.com has a few articles.
