alrite mate ive been to matagorda twice, good mullet fishing off the rocks near the harbour in old town, the boat anglin is a mixed bag withthe deep sea fishin for marlin and big fish very very hit and miss, talked to some lads been out 3 times in two weeks with nought to show for it at 70 euro a head there is a bottom fishing charter and you will catch smallish fish ,bream etc for 60 euro a day with lunch and a few beers thrown in, i tried lure fishing on the beaches and only caught very small weavers alive with them, beware of the local anglers who sent me to a bass mark no bass but a nudey beach mostly occupied by men and me with me rod in me hand doh dont try to fish for mullet in the harbour you will be chased off, enjoy yourself . theres more info and a detailed report somewhere on this site

This is the report from my recent trip to Costa Teguise in Lanzarote.

There is some really nice fish out there. I tried a lot of different tactics when I was out there, most of the fishing is done with the float and you will catch bream, derbio's etc which is great craic. I used prawn(gamba) calamari squid and BREAD(which took my biggest bream).

A lot of the locals fished the bottom and got some nice bream and various other rock fish and tropical type fish. I did this also and had a good bit of success and lost 2 huge fish, snapping my line(4lb braid). I wold suggest bringing light tackle and getting some sport out of it, however bring a spare spool loaded with heavier stuff if you want to fish tight to the bottom (snags, however the chance of a nice fish).

The mullet fishing off the rocks is awesome and kept me entertained for hours, my best was a golden gray to just over a pound and a half.

Hope this helped, and have a good 1.

No worries mate, I got a lot of info from guys on the site just before I left and it really did help. Just read those reports and you'll have a bit of an idea what to expect. Bring really light tackle and you'll have a blast.

All the best
