Bogue,Fuerteventura Nature
Schools of Bogue (Boops boops) are very common around Fuerteventura, they are often used as bait for larger fish such as barracuda, and tuna. They can be found in depths of a metre, down to around 350 metres. Their diet consists of small crustaceans, seaweed and plankton, schools of Bogue often rise to the surface at night. Individuals can reach 36 cm, but average 20 cm. They can be caught with small hooks, with small pieces of prawn, and are very quick, often attacking the bait before it sinks. When fishing in deep water for larger species, they can be a nuisance as they can strip the bait from your hook within seconds.
