4 hours of fun and fish!!!
On the 22nd December we left Calheta Marina at 0915 hrs and travelled to the West end of the Island. We were lucky enough to be able to get round the corner at Ponte do Pargo to grounds which are rarely fished due to shitty seas. We drifted over the grounds and started catching immediately […]
A great 1/2 day trip bottom fishing
We left Calheta Marina at 0945 and headed West. The weather was fine and the sea was reasonably calm with a wide 3 meter swell. We reached Ponto Do Pargo and decided to look round the point to see if it was feasible to go round and fish. The sea at the point is normally […]
One of 3 good Barred Hogfish
Ron, his wife and 2 children booked a 1/2 day bottom fishing trip on Gavito and we set off from Calheta Marina at 1330 hrs and proceeded to the West end of the Island. Having turned the corner, the sea became a little choppy, but not enough to deter us from fishing. I put out […]
Great trigger fish
Anders from Sweden booked for 4 hours bottom fishing and 4 hours trolling. We left Calheta Marina at 10.00 a.m. and motored to the West end of the Island and anchored off the Western cliffs.

Full day Mixed Fishing
We left Calheta at 10.00 a.m. and immediately headed for the West end of the Island and then turned North to an area that is seldom fished or accessible due to the normal sea state being confused and very choppy. We settled on the anchor about 1/2 way between Ponta do Pargo and Porto Moniz […]
Great day bottom fishing
Yesterday we travelled to the West end of the Island and managed to get round the corner between Ponto do Pargo and Porto Moniz (an area that is accessible for only about 15/20 days per year) and anchored in about 35 metres of water on a very rocky bottom to bait fish. There were 3 […]

8yr olds biggest fish yet!!
We took a father and his 2 sons aged 8 & 12 year for 4 hours of Bottom Fishing. Due to the ages of the children we decided to fish quite shallow and so went to the reef off Ponto do Pargo and drifted in about 20/25 metres of water. I prepared the rod for […]
Bottom fishing
We had 4 guys from Finland for a 4 hour session bottom fishing and the results were reasonable with a number of Red Snapper, Brown Grouper and Cardinal Wrasse being landed. The results could have been better but the clients were unused to the depth at which we fish in Madeira, being used to fishing […]
