Lanzarote - Breastsummers and Breviarticulata
The spikes are big in Lanzarote !!!
Sadly for me the teeth were not, still not complaining as another species, a lizard fish ticked off the ‘I want to catch list’ nought on soft plastics a crankbait does the business again !!!!
Gulp angleworm on a size 10 wormer hook on a dropshot rig did most of the business for me in Gran Canaria, whilst small metal lures got me garfish and mini-barracuda.
Looks like a nice trip. I had a couple of short sessions on our visit a few years back, caught similar species, although I couldn't fool a mullet or hook the barracuda.
Didn't come across any of those lizard fish, they look interesting!
The mullet were so hard to catch, not stupid thats for sure, quite a few big'uns around too and would remove the bread from the hook without a murmur on the float !!
Another awesome looking fish!
ReplyDeleteSure is, shame the one I caught was only a baby, then again looked scary enough at that size !!

ReplyDeleteJust throwing in some bits of prawn in to the rock pools brings all manner of species out, over gunned sadly but I will know for next time !!
