Feeding fish in corralejo fuerteventura
Corralejo Sand Dunes at sunrise, Corralejo, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain
Getting up early going to the National Park south of the old fishing village of Corralejo. Well worth the alarm call as the sand dunes were truly amazing at sunrise with the sun appearing on the horizon close the island of Lobos. Very relaxing yet spiritual as well.
Watch this space as I think there might be some more videos to come. Such an inspirational time of the day and location.

BLUEFISH FUERTEVENTURA ????????????
Paul Bassman Gordon targets Bluefish with a heavy float rig in lively conditions on a rock mark in Fuerteventura
Here’s the report if you missed it..
We made our way around the tranquil bay and past the Mullet filled harbour as the magic evening hours approached.
The wind was up and the waves where battering the rocks as we approached, this was a good sign that the big predators maybe there.
I waited a while assessing the danger zone and tied on a 40lb leader to try a 30gr sinking minnow which replicated the local BOGA bait-fish to perfection.
With a strong wind against tide I struggled even with the extra weighted lure to fish correctly and now the swells where getting bigger.
Desperate to carry on I made the decision to move a hundred yards right to a point of rocks with a small bay sheltered with the wind at my back giving me more options.
After a fruitless 20 minutes it was time for a different approach so a heavy float rig was sent out using a 75pound fluorocarbon leader and a size 6/0 hook with a big chunk of fresh Bonito bound on with elastic with the silver skin reflecting nicely. The float was set at 3 metres and stared at the float in anticipation.
Twenty minutes past and no enquiries, I looked behind me as the sun was quiet low so, I figured this was the time for a fresh chunk of Bonito.
I cast out again and waited, your mind can play tricks on you when float fishing in heavy seas but 10 minutes later, I glanced up and the float dipped and stayed under for a few seconds. I alerted my camera woman to start rolling and we stared at the bobbing float hearts racing.
I was just thinking about checking my bait when boom the reel started to scream. I shouted start filming and no sooner as the camera was on the fish let go after a searing run and dragging 20 yards of braid through the sliding float. I wound in a completely shredded bait GUTTED!
An even bigger chunk of Bonito was whipped on and sent out quickly as the bite was on, this time I cut up more smaller chunks of bait and chummed the area right by my float. Bonito
Is regarded a top bait very oily dark meat and this I believe made the difference as within a couple of minutes I had interest!
At this point I handed the spinning rod over to cheeky girl, loosened the drag and said hold this while I cut some more chum bait and don’t let go whatever happens!
Well as I was washing my hands, I heard the Yuki salt reel scream into action and looked up to see my girl in complete shock holding the flat lined rod shouting TAKE IT TAKE IT!
The video was running after the first powerful run and it was my turn to shine, this was a different fight to the mental speed of the Bonito a bit more dogged with direction changes. I was then treated to some serious acrobatics as the fish somersaulted a metre out of the water. At this point I could see it was a decent Bluefish and preyed the Flurocarbon leader wouldn’t get shredded with the twisting and fast turning fish.
I played the fish with a hard drag and managed to keep her in the surface layers. At this point I was worried about the overhanging rock, I was on with a depth of 10 metres, the beast slowly cane towards the rock face and this was the danger zone! All I could do was hold the rod as high as possible and bully the beast from diving, the plan seemed to be working so now I frantically looked for my landing point and carefully clambered along to my right on the slippery rocks.
Both hands firmly in control of the high held rod. I played her out and saw my chance, obviously a landing net would of been easier but that was in England! I pulled the big Bluefish into the diagonal rocks and paused holding her with the line whilst the swell dropped out. Seconds later the swell returned up the rock face and and went for the confident lift WHOOHOO SHE WAS MINE!
Absolutely buzzing, I grabbed her carefully and got her up to safety.
Luckily the hook was firmly in the lip and I had avoided the line busting teeth, a few pictures and I got the powerful stunning fish back in the water and off she went like a rocket.
What an experience another great capture and this time on video YES!
I wouldn’t of done it without the support of my cheeky girl who has given up precious holiday hours to make this video possible. It’s not easy filming these special moments and I’m over the moon and couldn’t be happier with the trip to Fuertiventura. This place is nuts, there are numerous big species waiting to be caught in the right conditions. I hope you enjoyed my report and I’m sure you’ll love the video.

Canary Islands - Sun, sea and amazing sights
The islands of the eternal spring, the archipelago Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean, form a part of Spain, although they are more closely situated to Africa.
The seven islands: La Palma, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote, and the two lesser unspoilt islands of Hierro and Gomera, form a part of a volcanic mountain range which
lies beneath the Atlantic Ocean.
The all year sub-tropical climate, which is regulated by the Gulf Stream and Trade Winds, attracts thousands of visitors every year to the islands who come to enjoy the sun, sea, nightlife and hospitality of the Canarian people.
However, it’s all too easy to arrive on your trip to the Canary Islands, plonk yourself on the beach and stay there without actually exploring all of the marvellous attractions that the islands have to offer. So take a tour with our video and get inspired!

Canary Islands - Part 2
▶FULL DOCUMENTARIES |
▶ Spanish video:
At a bearing of 28º latitude North and 16º longitude West a group of 7 islands and numerous islets rise up out of the sea. With its warm climate and unusual landscapes, this archipelago has from time immemorial captivated those who reached its coasts. Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, El Hierro, La Gomera y La Palma.
The Canary Islands were never a part of any sunken continent. Their origin is quite different and much less romantic.
About 30 million years ago, in what is known as the Miocene period, a crack appeared in the African platform. The magma found a way to escape from inside the Earth and a group of volcanoes appeared on the Ocean bed. Over the next 28 million years, the expulsion of material occurred almost continuously and so by the time the Earth entered the Quaternary Era all of the islands, except for Hierro and the islets, had risen above the surface.
Volcanic activity also effected plant life on the islands. The continuous supply of new materials delayed the erosion process and so impeded the creation of soil where trees and bushes could grow.
Here, in the foothills of the highest volcano in the archipelago, Teide, the plants have taken another step in the adaptation process. Not only do they live in very poor soil, but they can also withstand differences in daytime and night time temperatures of up to 50º centigrade.
As the islands rose up from the depths reefs were created and a new eco-system appeared in the ocean. The marine flora found new ground on which to settle and the fauna found countless nooks and crannies where it could set up home and be safe from predators. The layer nearest the surface, and therefore also nearest the sun, was the most populated.
Hundreds of thousands of tourists visit the islands every year. Many come in search of the sun. Others however are fascinated by its landscapes and by the volcanic activity still present on some of the islands.
The water vaporisation and plant-burning shows on the islet of Hilario in the Timanfaya national Park, are just some of the multiple tourist attractions created in recent years.
The same forces that created this natural paradise could bury it again under tonnes of lava. This may seem a catastrophe for Man, but for nature, it would be just another step in the construction of the archipelago, a project which has been under construction for over 30 million years and is still far from finished.

10 Things NOT to Do in the Canary Islands
The Canary Islands, see nine million tourists annually. Before you can enjoy the gorgeous oasis and beautiful mountains of this archipelago of islands, here are 10 things NOT to do during your trip.
1. Don’t Purchase Electronics
If you find yourself in dire need of a new electronic, the islands aren’t the best place to make a purchase. Some electronics shops sell bootleg products, or they try to pass off second-hand items as brand new.
2. Don’t Agree to a Timeshare
They have a selling tactic that includes a scratch-off ticket, and you will always be a winner! These offers will push you to redeem your prize at a local hotel. Then, you’ll be scammed into signing a dishonest timeshare contract with a hefty fee.
3. Don’t Ignore the Beach Signs
The red flag means no swimming. Even if the water looks calm. When the yellow and green flags are waving, it’s best to stick to the patrolled areas. Also, be cautious of jellyfish in the springtime. Avoid swimming and walking around with your shoes off.
4. Don’t Visit Cruz de Tejeda
If you’re looking for sweeping views of the mountains and beaches, skip out this area entirely. Since it’s just 5,000-feet above sea level, there isn’t much of a view. Instead, head out to Mirador del Barranco del Carmen, La Palma to see stunning views of the rugged coastline.
5. Don’t Get a Late Start to See El Teide
If seeing Tenerife’s legendary volcano, El Teide, is on your to-do list, make sure you head out early in the morning. To avoid the crowd, try to arrive by 9 a.m. the latest.
6. Don’t Confuse a Pickpocketer for Someone In Need
Gran Canaria is a relatively low-crime area, but a common tactic is for pickpocketers to pose as beggars. They will get really close to their victim and quickly reach into their pockets to snatch their money and possessions.
7. Don’t Fall for the Puerto de la Cruz Scam
You’ll notice a lot of the locals walking around with pet monkeys, snakes, and parrots. They’ll sometimes place the animals on a child’s shoulders and allow the parents’ to take a photo. After the picture is taken, they’ll demand an insane amount of money.
8. Don’t Go to the Tenerife Beaches
If you want golden sand to wiggle your toes in, the beach in Tenerife shouldn’t be on your list. Since it’s the site of a volcano, most of the beaches are full of black sand that will scorch your feet! For a real sandy beach, head to Los Cristianos instead.
9. Don’t Take the Train Ride In Corralejo
They promise to take you on a tour. After boarding, you’ll realize the tour simply consists of a quick trip around Corralejo’s back streets, and travelers have complained that the tour guides aren’t very knowledgeable.
10. Don’t Accept “Free” Food
Vendors selling slices of pineapple will allow you to “try” a slice – only to demand you pay them up to eight Euro per piece! Just remember, nothing is free. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
Where do you want to know what not to do in next?

El Cotillo's Best Kept Secret - The Labyrinth
El Cotillo's Best Kept Secret - The Labyrinth
The Labyrinth was built by a German musician, Wolf Patton, in 1999. It took him two months to complete on his own. Following the labyrinth path to the centre is 3 km apparently.
It is modelled on the labyrinth patterns in Chartres Cathedral in France.
To find it head to the windmill near El Roque and take the road near it towards the hills. Keep going straight until you come to a halt by La Maxada (Brian's stone wall place) and then take the path next to it until you get to the labyrinth.
It seems labyrinth's have all sorts of spiritual properties - but anyone that knows me knows what I think of that kind of thing. But it is an interesting feature with some great views.
If you are wondering what to do in El Cotillo or what to see in Fuerteventura then have a walk to the labyrinth. Other things to do in El Cotillo can be found here -

Places to see in ( Canary Islands - Spain ) Parque Natural de Corralejo
Places to see in ( Canary Islands - Spain ) Parque Natural de Corralejo
Corralejo Natural Park is the best place to go to enjoy the desert beauty of Fuerteventura. This coastal zone, measuring 2.5 by 10.5 kilometres, is located in the north-east of the island and has two contrasting but nevertheless harmonious sides. In the north, alongside the large tourist resort of Corralejo is the biggest dune spread in the whole of the Canary Islands; an enormous extension of white sands bathed by the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. To the south, the opposite awaits: a volcanic landscape, red and ochre, dramatic and rugged.
The FV-1 road, which connects the island capital Puerto del Rosario to the town of Corralejo, passes by the national park, but you’ll have to park your car and explore the park on foot. To enjoy Corralejo’s fabulous beaches, be sure to bring a towel, drinking water, sun cream and a bathing suit unless you are a fan of nude sunbathing.
To really immerse yourself in the volcanic landscape you’ll need to bring walking boots to climb the 300 metres up the Montaña Roja (Red Mountain) volcano and a camera to take incredible shots of Lanzarote and La Graciosa across the water and to immortalise the experience.
( Canary Islands - Spain ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Canary Islands . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Canary Islands - Spain

Fuerteventura Road Trip to Beaches, Whales and Grottas
Fuerteventura Road Trip to Beaches, Whales and Grottas
Blogpost with Photos here:
A beach holiday has always been on our wish list - and this year it worked out. After researching the most beautiful beaches of the world we came across the statement: Fuerteventura is the Caribbean of Europe - (at least political Europe, because the Canarian island is located off the west coast of Africa in the Atlantic). We hoped that the island can really keep this high promise. We want to make it short - the ???? beaches keep the promise.
There are a lot of beautiful and well-kept beaches right next to the hotel complexes as well as many other beaches that are a little more remote from where you can jump into the crystal clear water. In the water there is also quite a lot to see - colourful fish play in the shallow water and in many bays there are also small reefs where you can snorkel perfectly.
Fuerteventura Beach Tip Risco El Paso
One beach we can recommend is Risco El Paso. It's a Wind-Surfer beach but has a large area for swimmers which is guarded by the coast guard on jet skis. You can protect yourself wonderfully in the small niches from wind. Since the beach is very long, the people are also spread out wonderfully and it is therefore one of the quietest beaches we have visited.
Numerous boat trips promise a lot of fun but also animal sightings - the so frequent dolphins ????konnten we unfortunately do not see, but instead turtles ???? (in the wild and in the reception center), hammerhead sharks ???????? and various species of whales ????????????
Explore Fuerteventura by car
It is advisable to book a rental car from home, as it's clearly cheaper (other travelers experience reports on the Internet are now obsolete, thanks to new comparison portals). And if you don't really want to spend 14 days at the hotel's own beach, or want to pay a lot of money for guided tours, a rental car is a must in order to reach the other beaches or maybe even try windsurfing, surfing, catamaran sailing, etc. There are also some natural attractions: Caves, landscapes and viewpoints - but don't rely completely on Google Maps - you may be led onto a road that is really only suitable for hardcore 4x4 fans and the right car. ????
The legendary beach Cofete
We want to give a little tip about Cofete (the most southwestern place of the island): the beach next to Cofete is praised on Tripadvisor and Co. as the most beautiful of Fuerteventura ... and that's probably what it is - but - it is located on the southwest side of the island and is therefore fully exposed to the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, the highest mountains of the island are directly behind it and all the clouds, wind etc. gather there. This means that while on the other side one lies in the sun in Moro Jable and Jandia under a blue sky, on the south-west side it is grey in grey ...
Inhabitants of the Alps know the phenomenon as Foehn. In two weeks stay we experienced only 2 days where we could recognize that the Cofete side probably has no clouds. So plan so that you can go there spontaneously. PS: A bus to Cofete is available 2 times in the morning and 2 times in the afternoon. But even if we didn't test it ourselves, we assume that you need a strong stomach. Therefore it is better to go back to the rental car or a Quad ????
