Mares magazine travels to Gran Canaria to cover the 5th International Open Deep Sea Fishing.

 

The magazine Mares, specialized in nautical news, collaborated with Gran Canaria Blue to experience first-hand the V Gran Canaria International Deep Sea Fishing Open which was held from August 28 to 30. The search for the prized Blue Marlin brought together 45 boats, 17 of them from outside Gran Canaria, who enjoyed two intense days of fishing.

 

The charter Fish On! welcomed the representative of the industry, inviting him to participate with them on the first day. The strong currents of recent months and the summer heat, unfavorable conditions for weevil fishing, complicated sightings and increased catches. However, this added excitement and anticipation to the competition.

 

 

When docking at the Pasito Blanco Marina, organizer of this catch and release event, took place on Children's Contest from its dock. Around 50 children participated, learning how to return captured specimens to the sea in a careful and non-invasive manner.

 

 

The second day continued with the battle to find the greatest Atlantic sprinter, completing only one catch-and-release process. With this bittersweet result, Naiss emerged victorious, followed by Millenium Uno and El Monty in second and third place.

 

During its coverage of the Gran Canaria International Open Deep Sea Fishing, the magazine Mares stayed at Gloria Palace Royal Hotel & Spa, just a few meters from Amadores Beach. Its proximity to the ocean, infinity pool, and amenities make it an ideal accommodation for sea lovers.

 

 

After the awards ceremony, all that's left is to wait for the next edition of the competition next August, an international event that has gained worldwide recognition over time.
