Overview

Over 25+ Experience

The Happy Hooker was established back in 2009 but Jamie the owner has been fishing these waters since 1984 and has a lot of different methods and tricks to use. When it comes to bottom fishing we have plenty of marks along the SW coast of Tenerife and in the North of La Gomera, some of these we drift or anchor over rocky drop offs or sandy bottom in waters upto 300ft using a mixture of live and dead baits targeting Amberjack, Dentex, Grouper and other predatory fish of all sizes.

If its big predatory fish you are after then its mainly trolling an assortment of lures depending what we are targeting, for the Marlin we recommend the Bait and Switch method using circle hooks , this way we get the fish to the boat in record time and dont do any damage to the fish , as for tuna there are some times of the year where we dont have to troll for them but other times when trolling is best, check out our tuna fishing charters on the Charters page. We also do some light tackle trolling on light spinning rods with live baits which can be great fun catching barracuda, Altantic Bonito and the hard fighting Bluefish plus a few other species. If you are not sure what is best for you then drop us a line and we can explain and answer all the questions you have. Check out the fish seasons page to know when to book your holiday. The crew of the Happy Hooker are here waiting for you , so dont waste another minute and come and join us.
