My 9 year old son caught a big Bonito, i could see he was scarred he couldn’t do it, drop the rod or fall out the boat - i was about to take over from him, but the captain jumped in before me, put a rod support on my son, held onto the back of him and coached him through the 4 minute fight with the Bonito, landing it on the boat.
My son’s smiling face at the end, made the trip the best fishing trip i’ve been on.
Highly recommend the trip with children to face catching something with some fight and get supported.
Thanks again

Captain Agoney was very kind, patient, and beginner-friendly, which made the trip super enjoyable. Fishing starts with catching live bait fish which is super fun. Later we caught massive barracuda and a red snapper. During the trip, we were also offered a croissant and a drink (Coke, beer or water), which was a nice touch. Highly recommend this fishing trip!

This past week i went on two 5 hour shared charter with Resacca fishing charter. The first day Agoney told us there wasn’t much live bait to be caught so he suggested to go trolling instead. It was a good call! We caught 2 wahoo’s and i’ve caught my first Mahi mahi! Not big but beautiful non the less!

The second day was quite windy with little chance of catching live bait, so said captain Agoney. Trolling wasn’t a option due to the strong wind en swell. Stopped at Lobos but no live bait (boga) to be caught. Tried a number of spots but no luck. All other charter boats and even professional fishermen went back to port. Agoney did not want to give up and tried the last spot. Even told us we were going back to the harbour when we found the boga! In about an hour we caught enough fish to go for the bigger ones. We made way in direction to Lanzarote. There were pretty big waves but it was okay to fish. Almost immediatly we hooked a barracuda which we’ve lost. En soon after that a yellowfin tuna, approx. 8 kg. Every 10 minutes we had a bite. Caught 4 yellowfin tuna’s between 6.5 and 9 kg, 3 barracuda’s and an atlantic bonito. I caught a tuna (8.5kg) and the biggest barracuda. Another awesome day! I will definitly go out with Agoney when i’m back on the island!

So starte ich mal von Anfang an:

Leider war das kleine Boot defekt und wir sind mit dem großen raus gefahren. Was aber kein Problem war

Die Kommunikation mit agoney ist ist sehr einfach, er antwortet recht schnell und geht auch auf wünsche ein, sagt allerdings auch wenn er etwas für nicht sinnvoll empfindet. Was ich persönlich sehr gut finde.

Wir wurden morgens im Hotel abgeholt und sind direkt in den Hafen gefahren ab aufs Boot und los geht’s.

Während agoney gefahren ist hat uns sein Deckhelfer eine sehr gute Einweisung auf das tackle gegeben und dann ging’s auch schon mit dem trolling los.

Nach ca 2.5 Stunden kam der erste Biss
Dann wurde es etwas hecktisch a Deck was wir nicht so gewohnt waren du Ruten mussten schnell rein geholt werden damit der Fisch gedrillt werden kann. Beim einholen sind wir etwas verwirrt gewesen genau wegen der Hektik aber das passiert nun mal wenn man es nicht gewohnt ist. 

Nach einem tollen 13 Minuten Drill kam dann mein erster wahoo a die Oberfläche was ein toller Fisch.

Zwei Stunden später biss dann auch noch ein schöner bonito.

Leider mussten wir den Trip nach ca 6 Stunden wegen Seekrankheit meiner Freundin abbrechen.

Alles in allem kann ich aber sagen das sich der trolling Trip für begeisterte sehr lohnt und agoney sein Möglichstes tut damit man ein tolles Erlebnis hat.

We had a great time with the captain and captains mate. There was a total of 6 guests on board. One of our group was very sea sick so make sure you take a sea sickness tablet if you are prone. Two of us caught two big tunas each and the other one didn’t catch anything. We have only been deep sea fishing a handful of times. There are beers, water, sandwiches and coke on board.

The captain was kind and gutted a fish for us to take home, however it might be worth it to look up how you want to cook it and ask for it a specific way and ours was cut into steaks and we didn’t really know how to cook them like that.
