Canarias the paradise of the High Sports Fishing: 12 months a year
The Blue Marlin, the Aguja Fish, the Atlantic Bonito, the Barracuda and the White Tuna. They all remain committed to not telling anyone who lives beautifully well in the sea of Gran Canaria. But we can't. We have to tell that the wealth of the sea around Gran Canaria is another of the charms that cover the island as a gift paper. The funds around Gran Canaria keep a huge catalogue of species: a "paradise" for high fishing fans. And that's why the high-rise fishermen have been landing in the last few years, in the Canary marinas. Especially in the south of Gran Canaria. The ports of the southern area offer a large number of ships, with experienced crews and well equipped to spend large fishing days. Inland fishing days, where you will not be caught up with any haste or concerns. Mobile? No cell phone, no work, no obligations.
Because that is another reason for the success of the island among the fans of medium-European fishing. In the Canary Islands you can fish for the 12 months. The climate is always pleasant, with the best time to fish for spicy and tuned fish between May and November. Lanzarote is another of the canarian magic points for high fishing. In Marina Rubicón, they organize events like the Merlin Cup that bring together over a hundred ships with sports fishermen from all over the world. The Navy has, like other points on the Canary coast, services for the rental of transport boats and comfort sufficient for the practice of high fishing.
