Catching blue marlin is an enormous challenge:
the wait, the anticipation, and then, there it is. The rod bends,
the line tightens. The blue marlin is on. The battle starts,
a power duel between two determined foes. Man against the sea, the only
untamed force of nature. The ultimate challenge.
A burst of adrenaline and the huge sense
of accomplishment when the dream comes true.

and lots of patience.
Suddenly
a BANG
and everything changes,
makes sense.
It's the marlin"

The volcanic origins of the Canary Islands
means that the ocean reaches depths of over
1000 metres within minutes of the shore. Here vast schools of bait fish gather and attract blue marlin and other large game species.

The deepest and best stocked areas with fish
are found off
the west coasts of
Lanzarote and Fuerteventura
with
depths of up to 3,700 metres but,
above all, the coasts surrounding the islands of
La Gomera, Gran Canaria and Tenerife, where deep sea fishing is very frequent.
