Puerto Rico & Mogan, Gran Canaria, 14th & 16th Oct.

#1 Post by nialler »

People:myself and 5 others

Duration:2days, 9am-3pm each day

Tide:all stages

Weather:calm, no wind, 30 degrees average 8)

Bait:live mackerel, sardines,mackerel,squid

Rigs:livebait rigs, bottom rigs mainly

Results:5 stingray, 4 ''aligator fish'', weavers, octopus,cuttel fish, and lots of small bream like species.

Report:2 great days out on board two different but well run charters, first one out from puerto rico harbour and the second from Mogan harbour, trolled some lures on the way out both mornings for an hour or two, the marlin are well gone now but there was a chance of a tuna or wahoo, not to be.

Then headed for some reefs, lots of bream type species were had, then big baits straight to the bottom hoping for sharks - mainly hammerheads or angel sharks, stingrays and barracudas.. in the end only ended up with stingrays but i was well happy with that. The biggest of which was 150lbs! a new p.b for me!

We had 2 live mackerel baits downtide the whole time we were at anchor, had 2 takes but didnt manage to get any tuna to the boat.

was great to see some new species and got a good fight from the big ray, sayin that once the skipper got it to the side of the boat that was enough for me! i let the pro's take over, last thing i wanted was a bang off that big fellas tail, he was a bit to big to take onto the deck.

Great weather, good fishing, and the beer wasint bad either :wink:
