Fuertavenura - any coarse fishing?

Going in Feb, will be mainly sea fishing, based at Costa Calma, just wondered if it was worth packing a few wagglers etc?

Make sure you tell us how you got on.

I'm thinking of going out that way next Christmas.

You won't be doing any coarse fishing because there is no water. You can catch alsorts in the sea on waggler tackle though.

Watcha John.

How about Tennerife, any freshwater fishing there?

any recommendations for the beach at cc then?

Hi Ferret I wouldn't bother. There's carp to be caught in little square ponds. The tackle you get is horrendous. 45 euros for half a day. I'd get off in a boat doing some bottom fishing. You won't go far out. When we did the 'Whales and Dolphins' thing, I enquired about the depth which was about 5 miles offshore. 1800 metres came the reply.

Fishing aff the rocks you catch alsorts of funny stuff. You get bites instantly on anything. If you keep chucking something at them you'll keep them with you as long as your'e feeding. I usually use 3-4 lbs line and barbless hooks. A good few wriggle off but who cares.

that's great advice John, thanks
