Hi Liam

Pretty patchy there, was around Praia da Rocha and it was very early morning for small bream off the shore and small flatties. not ideal.

http://www.caranx.net/forums has an English forum, embryonic but good.
The top man there Nicola is an expert and a regular contributor on http://www.stripersonline.com a superb US east coast lure fishing website. It covers many of the species available in Europ and the Canaries... http://www.seaspin.com is good if you can read Italian, otherwise forget it.

Having talked to Nicola, I think there is more fishing out there than you think. Apparently lure fishing on the Canaries is almost unheard off from the shore, so I will be trying my luck in three weeks on Fuerteventura.

Hope this helps...

mate has an apartment out there for rental if anyone is interested. dosent fish so probably you would have to do your own research. cheap flights all year.
