@@user-qt2fz2dj1o thanks mate 🙂🎣

No just did a bit of research before I came mate and species guru Scott Hutchison has been very helpful with identifying some of the ones I've not been sure about !

@@brianwalton3016 was a thoroughly enjoyable way to spend a few hours in the mornings 🙂🎣

@@dmg2095 yes I bought mine online

@@DevonLerfer can you add a link?

@@dmg2095 just search Spanish Fishing Licence and it'll be there 👍

@@karlstokes874 thanks mate 😁🎣

@@jorvikangler yeah I enjoyed not knowing what I was going to catch next! Lost a few but not as many as I often lose at some of my favourite marks in the UK 😅 I think the lack of weed helps there

@@DevonLerfer I probably lose more in canals and rivers.

@@stephenjackson1828 cheers Steve! 👍🎣

@@alanbutler487 thanks Alan! 👍🎣

@@brianwalton3016 yes, it makes unhooking so much easier and reduces the likelihood of them snapping 👍

@@rhyswilliams1413 thanks! Yes I can't remember which but I like to use either the Decoy mini assist hooks or the jigpara assists 🎣

@@DevonLerfer brilliant thanks. I thought you may have.

@@rhyswilliams1413 no worries mate 👍🎣

Ah nice one, hope you have a great time. Thanks! 👍🎣

@DevonLerfer We're you using braid mainline? I've got some 2.5g jigheads, do you think a lighter jig would be best?

@@Smiffy830 yeah was using a 0.4pe braid mainline with fluoro leader. 2.5g jighead will probably be suitable in some situations, I chopped and changed a bit depending on what lure I was using and what I was after, a lot of my target species had pretty small mouths so found a cheb or split shot rig more useful for a lot of them 👍

@DevonLerfer yeah, sounds good that, I've got some braid, but the fisheries I use don't allow it, only use it on canal for pike & perch. I just bought some micro jigheads about 1.5g, I'll add a few number 6 shot if it's a bit light. Nice 1, thanks for getting back to me. Tight lines🐟🪱🎣👍

@@Smiffy830 no worries, best of luck! 👍🎣

@@rhyswilliams1413 thanks mate. The water was quite shallow there but I was twitching them close to where I thought the bottom was, they were in theory hitting on the drop though as bites were coming on the pause between twitches as the lure fluttered back down 👍🎣

Off to Fuerteventura next week so can’t wait to give it a go.

Thank you for the reply.

Hi Dave, we generally stick with M and L for most of our LRF fishing. S is very thin and easy to split when putting on the hook. If you wanted to just try one size I'd suggest going for L, you can cut all Isome down to suit what you're targeting, I hope that helps a bit! 👍

@@DevonLerfer cheers 🤛🏻

@@johntrout1957 yes there are some big predators to be caught around the Canary Islands. From my limited observations so far though, the guys using heavier gear tend to struggle whereas scaling down generally keeps the bites coming consistently 🎣

@@CharlieCrowe-l9m hi, it's a spro freestyle head with a Daiwa iso handle

@@DevonLerfer cheers

@@MudMaxMetalDetecting thank you! Sounds like a bargain, yes I'm really impressed with the Diplomat X that I have, great little LRF all rounder that hasn't let me down yet, definitely good value 👌

@@damianowens5066 thanks mate! 🙂🎣

@@alanfielding3491 thanks Alan, much appreciated 🙂🎣

@@SGMproducitons thank you! 👍🎣

Agreed, between them and the puffers, it's just not a risk worth taking 😂 thanks mate 👍🎣

Thank you! I'm really impressed with the rod, it's a great all rounder. I've not managed to find out on the spec, but my feeling is that it's a tubular tipped rod as it feels right when working metals and hard lures, don't quote me on that though 😅

Cheers mate! Haha yeah I don't know what came over me on this one 😅 the puffers are absolute lure chompers, indeed, if only 😁🎣

😂 don't know what came over me 😅

Made me laugh! 👍

@@stephenjackson1828 😂

@@DevonLerfer good vid Rich! 👍

@@stephenjackson1828 thanks mate! 👍🎣

Cute wasn't it! Cheers mate 🙂🎣

Thanks mate! 👍🎣

Thanks Steve! 👍🎣

Thank you mate, the ornate wrasse in particular seem to dominate wherever I've fished abroad 😅 I was glad to be able to find some other species! All the best! 🎣

Thanks mate. Yeah I really enjoyed the fishing over there, always exciting fishing for different species to what I'm used to 👍🎣

Nice video we love fishing Tenerife. Whereabouts in CA are you? Been all over that area and don’t recognise it. Have a good holiday 😊

@@UKEDC thanks, I was fishing at the end of Playa De Fanabe, it was the only spot I could find that was really fishable 😅 this was back in May but hope to get back again!

@@DevonLerfer nice we had a few beers there one afternoon. Lovely place.

I'm using a Major Craft Aji-Do 5G S502L in this video 👍🎣

@@DevonLerfer many thanks for your prompt reply mate. 👍👍

Thank you! 🙂🎣

That's an interesting theory, it did seem there was a lack of fish of any size apart from a fleeting glimpse of some mahi mahi which were hunting in close to shore on the north west coast. It does seem that there are a lot of anglers catching and keeping all the small fish they catch too, perhaps they just never get the chance to get big in those places?

@@DevonLerfer Hi. What's remarkable is look at the bait those anglers use. They use crumbled up meal of some kind that you form into a ball and stick on the hook, the kind we would use in a fresh water pond in the USA (if you did not have worms). Yes I find it shocking that they keep these tiny fish. Spear fishermen too get fish, but they are always so small. Notice too there are not Bertram and Hatteras and other sport fishing boats in the marinas here. As for what you think, I believe it a myth to blame any of this on overfishing. I mean look around, we don't even have fishing fleets. Instead you see these maybe 6-8 meter boats that go our and put oat floating drift nets. They put them at night and then pick them up in the morning. There's no purse seiners or shrimp boats dragging the bottom. Never seen any long liner vessels here either.

Cheers Brian, I love scrambling around on the rocks! Those hooks are from Nine Seven Tungsten. We do have some good alternatives such as the Decoy SG-3 over at The Big Lerf Tackle Shop too if you're looking at options for Cheb hooks 🙂

All listed next to each catch 🙂

Thank you, yeah me too, I must put more time into them this year! 🎣

Thanks mate! Haha yeah I'm really feeling Ben's pain at the moment, I remember it all too well 😅 still got to take the opportunity to wind him up when I can though 😂

Thanks mate 🙂🎣

It's been great, not sure what I'd have done without it 😅

Thanks! This was in October 🙂🎣

Cheers Steve! 👍🎣

Cheers mate, it's nice when it's firing like that isn't it 🙂🎣

@@DevonLerfer sure is mate! 👌

It was a really enjoyable one mate. And yes, I'm amazed that net has survived Ben's attempts, speaks a lot of their durability 😂

@@DevonLerfer they're a great bits of kit aren't they!

@@karlstokes874 amazing mate, I'd be lost without mine!

Tele handle is a daiwa rockfish-5.9m Most good stockists will sell them. Expect to pay £75 -95 including delivery

@@karlstokes874 thanks very much Karl , appreciate that

​@@stephenmoss4880you're most welcome Stephen. 👍🏻

Thanks mate, it has been a little while, its just been tricky to find the time to sit down and edit but hopefully it won't be so long until the next one 😅 the landing net head is a spro freestyle flip head and the handle is a Daiwa iso 5.9m. You should find them with a quick Google search, but let me know if you can't 👍

@@DevonLerfer always a pleasure watching your videos, thank you for the net info, I was going to ask if any net fits the handle, is it a universal sort of fitting, just been looking at the handle online, blooming expensive aren’t they if you can find them in stock, £94 at predator fishing is the best I could find, it’s huge aswell isn’t it 5.9 mt , not sure I’ll need that long , too risky for me then high rocks , I’ll stick to Talland bay and Polperro , cheers Rich

Cheers David! 👍🎣

Thanks mate. Definitely not a stupid question! It depends on what I'm fishing with and where I am but in this instance, for the wrasse I let the lure sink to the bottom on a slack line and then give it 2 or 3 twitches with short sharp jerks of the rod, followed by a pause to let the lure fall back to the bottom and repeat. It's worth experimenting with the length of pause, I'll sometimes let it sit for 10+ plus seconds before moving it again, wrasse will often move in and stare at a lure for a bit before hitting it. With metals, it's a more varied approach, but I do like a twitch and pause approach for these, but searching through the water column rather than fishing hard on the deck. Although fishing on or near the bottom can bring rewards with metals, you just need to consider what the ground is like where you're fishing. Hope that helps a bit ! 🎣

​@@DevonLerferyou're an absolute star mate, of all the information on lure fishing I've always found clear instructions on that the hardest to find! Will be put to good use

Pleasure mate, best of luck and don't hesitate to shout if you think there's anything else I can help with 👍🎣

Cheers Alan, yeah I know some peg their weight, but I like to have a free running weight on a Texas rig 👍🎣

@@DevonLerfer same here. Personally I only peg my weight if I'm fishing amongst tall weed

5.9 meter Daiwa rockfish

Thank you! The Daiwa iso handle is 5.9m long 🎣

Cheers! For ultralight/LRF most anglers tend to go for 1000 size. It is personal preference though, I actually really like fishing with the Shimano Soare BB C2000 PGSS reels (I have 3 of them 😅) as they are 1000 sized reel but have a 2000 sized spool, best of both worlds imo 🙂

Thank you! 👍🎣
