Just some bottom fishing
A couple of pictures from this summer doing bottom fishing and some close to shore trolling.
Great Family trip!
Lena and her family booked a 4 hour Bottom Fishing Trip as a birthday surprice for her boys. Besides having a lot of fun during the trip we also got blessed with 12 Trigger Fish as well as a very nice Red Snapper of 10lb. The trip was a success in all aspects!
Honeymoon and Amberjack
Essi and her husband had booked a half day Sport Fishing on the Gavito. As it turns out they were spending their honeymoon in Madeira and what could be better than to spend some time with the Gavito crew fishing! We left Calheta Marina at 1500hrs. It was a bit windy and some swell coming […]
Great day Mixed Fishing on Gavito
Neil and his son were celebrating Matt’s 21st Birthday which was on the 11th. On the day he caught a 650 lbs Blue Marlin on Our Mary out of Funchal (Well done Josie) and on the 12th they joined Gavito for a full day of mixed fishing. We started out bottom fishing and caught plenty […]
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 […]
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 […]
Full day Mixed Fishing
Alan chose to take a full day Mixed Fishing (part trolling for Marlin and part bottom fishing for dinner. We left Calheta Marina at 10.00 a.m. and trolled until 2.00 p.m. without success ourselves. However another boat about 200 metres away on our port side hooked up around 20 minutes from port and the result […]
Another great day jigging
Terry Smith of Jigabite.co.uk had a second day exploring the possibilities for jigging in Madeira. We fished for 4 hours on the flood tide and Terry had 4 hits, landing one of them. A medium sized Red Snapper. We were hoping to hook up on Amberjacks and Grouper, but that was not to be. That’s […]
A good way to end the day!
A nice 4 hours bottom fishing topped off with coming back to the house to enjoy the days catch with a beer and a glass of wine in the beautiful sunshine. Fish caught were Trigger fish, red snapper and cardinal wrasse. They were caught on shrimp in 50 / 60 meters of water.
