Lanzarote and its surrounding islands offer fantastic game fishing for Marlin, Tuna, Dorada, Bonito, Sting Ray and Wahoo as well as Sharks such as Blue, Mako, Angel and Hammerhead.
While Bottom-fishing is possible all year round for many Canarian species, the main trolling season for species such as Blue Marlin and Tuna is between April and November (September and October are the best months).
Shore Fishing
There is also good shore fishing all around the island for a multitude of species such as Mediterranean Snapper, Yellowmouth Barracuda and Parrot fish.
In order to go Shore Fishing, a permit must first be obtained from the Consejeria de Pesca in the Cabildo Building in Arrecife.
