Shore Fishing in Lanzarote

**stanleybell** · 07-02-2005, 21:26

I will shortly be shore fishing during a holiday in Lanzarote. I will only have a light telescopic rod with me. Can anyone offer any advice on methods and baits???

As you are limited by your tackle I suggest you take some small bubble floats & some size 16 trebles. if you cast out a piece of bread flake with a small treble in it it will bring loads of tiny fish up to nibble at it, then suddenly the water will explode as something big comes up to grab the bread before the tiny ones eat it all.
You can do the same sub-surface with a piece of shrimp or a sliver of squid, but I have found the best fun to be a surface fished bread flake, the last hour of daylight & dusk being your best time (you wont be going on the booze before 10 anyway). My best fish on bread flake 3.1Kg Black Bream, El Torro, Majorca, 1999, tight lines!

The baitfish are called Bogue´s, the Lubina is our Sea Bass. I used to fish in Teguise and Play Blanca a fair bit myself and think the way Skippy suggests using livebait is great fun.If you ledger them on the sand patches on a foot and half trasce youll get the odd Ray too.

Light float tackle using ccoked prawn on the hook will get you mullet,bass,breams,umbrine,small wrasse and damsels.

hello, i don't suppose this idea of fishing flak bread will work in Sardinia ?? we are off there in may and have aleady found out its just £30 to take the fishing rods in a bazooka tube so well happy lol

That should work around most of the Med, definately in the Balearics and Spain.

iv'e had some nice lizard fish and bream by gently nudging a small strip of squid along the sea bed, an inch at a time, also, if you fish playa blanca, try to get down to the lighthouse end, good big fish here to tradition ledgering, the locals catch wrasse like fish on dried crab, remember you need a licence, seems to be overlooked for tourists, but you do need one officially.

oh, and try to fish with some height, the fish are masters at diving into the volcanic rocks and staying there.

Hello, I'm new to the forum - and new to sea fishing - and new to Lanzarote (spotting a pattern here

). I've been pondering on taking it up, not an entirely new to fishing though, I used to do a lot of coarse fishing when I was younger. Anyway, bottom line is that on a whim today I bought myself a rod and reel today and joined this forum in the hope that perhaps I could get a few tips.

I live in Playa Blanca, and as was suggested here was thinking of going down to the lighthouse area.

The things I could realy use some help with is:

What are the best methods here - and were might I find some information on what tackle to buy and how to set it up?

What are the best baits?

I wasn't aware of the need for a licence... So where would I get one and how much?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
