The trip was ok.
Got picked up on time (included in the price)
Pedro showed up, friendly and energetic guy.
Collected the remaining payment and went on with his business. You can pay with card on the boat.
He couldn’t join us cause of a doctor’s appointment.
Pepe and an other guy were our crew.
Friendly guys, but they couldn’t speak English, just some words unfortunately.
Pepe seemed to be very experienced.
Got annoyed by few English men that got a bit irritated for lack of fish, I’m pretty sure he called the guest “an idiot” few times. If so, very unprofessional no matter the reason.
The other guy didn’t seem as a proper fishermen as he couldn’t cast out the live bait with a long leader and a bobber.
We parked maybe 2km from Playa del Ingles and stayed there the whole day. This was 29. March 2022.
Took an hour to drive out, even though it was pretty close by.
Took 40 min back, we could have fished for at least 20 more minutes. 6h fishing trip is actually 4h effective.
We fished at the bottom for bait fish.
And only two rods where our with live bait.
We could definitely have had at least two more at the front.
The gear (for bait fish) was ok, i was unfortunate and got an old rod with a huge reel that was pretty heavy. Overkill for bait fish.
The big game gear seemed proper.
The communication with Pedro could be better.
I still have unanswered questions.
Not sure if he ever got those, but I’m pretty sure he did.
I replied on a SMS.
I asked about the flyfishing, food, type of fish etc.
Didn’t get any answer on any of it.
And the fishing was rescheduled without an explanation, after some messages where i had to ask why and what, it came down to bad weather.
He could have started the message like that.
A tip for you:
Bring sunscreen, shades
Bring a cloth do that you can wipe your fingers/hands easily (should be offered by the crew)
Bring a GoPro, chest mount and a selfie stick.
Maybe own sandwich
Bring extra set of shorts and t shirt.
We caught one bonito, one seagull (it actually happened, it took the live bait) and we hooked a shark, somewhere between 1-1,5m.
The shark cut the line after 30 seconds.
Other than that, it was a nice trip, right after some bad weather, that was the main reason for slow day.
If I ever visit this place again, I’ll probably book an other trip, but, just cause i love fishing.
Decent guys, some room for improvement but ok all in all.

Hi Emir! Many thanks for your review. I’m sure the experience would have been better with me onboard. I take note for the future. I know that the atmosphere wasn’t the best that’s why I feel disappointed. As you said, the day after the bad weather the sea is a bit mixed and could be slower. Again thanks for joining and hope to see you again onboard (with me in it). Sorry if you felt uncomfortable. And about the messages you say I didn’t answer, I didn’t receive them otherwise I would...
