Tuna fishing is an exciting and adventurous sport - even an experienced angler would appreciate a worthy rival in this large and powerful fish. The main method of catching tuna is by sea trolling, while feeding plays an important role. Smaller fish are cut up and thrown into the water to create a trail for the tuna to follow. Fishing for large tuna largely depends on their size. After successfully hooking a large fish, it's recommended to remove the rod from its nest and place it in the waist support. The reel needs to be high-speed because tuna are very fast, and it's important to quickly retrieve the line when the fish starts to loosen. Typically, fishing ends with a photo session with the caught fish and an outdoor dinner. An important note to be made is that catching yellow fin tuna in Spain for amateur fishing is prohibited, so we take pictures of such specimens and release them. Other types of tuna may be caught. You can also catch sharks, sailfish, barracuda and other types of fish during this fishing trip. We cooperate only with trusted captains who know the fishing spots and methods, who have proven their professionalism! All captains hold the relevant management and fishing licenses in place.
