Tunas are the most frequently Big Game Fishing targets at the Adriatic.
These are the fish we are hunting in Big Game Fishing: bluefish tuna, albacore tuna, little tunny, sharks, swordfish, amber jacks and dorados.
The month of April is right for little tunas moving in shoals and with an average weight of 10 - 15 kg. This period offers great possibilities for a rich catch.
The end of May and beginning of June it's shark hunting season (blue sharks and thresher sharks).
In the beginning of August it's bluefin tuna time; average weight of 70-80 kg up to 500 kg.
The tunas follow great albacore tuna shoels with average weight of 10-15 kg, lately, with the sea temperature rising more and more dorados can be found.
That's at the same time the best fishing season (from August to November), where the chances for a big catch is very high!
Daily 1
This type is fishing from the still or boat moving at the speed of 1 to 3 mph. We are using special fishing rods that are fixed on the boat so you can fish with six or more of those in different depths. That is called “Heavy Trolling” and it is used for fishing on swordfish, tuna, barracuda etc.
Daily 2
We use “Light trolling” technique which is fishing with silicone or plastic fish as lures (rapalla, yozuri, and storm) and while ship is on the move it acts like real fish. In this way we are fishing for dent fish, sea brim, small tuna, barracuda etc.
Night fishing
We use “Night drifting” technique. That is specific and wary demanding fishing during late night and early morning hours and basic condition to have a good catch is absolute silence on the boat. Most common catch is shark, tuna, barracuda and swordfish.
Deep sea fishing
We fish at the distance of 6 to 15 miles from the coastline in depth of 200 m, using electronic gadgets which allow us, by pressing one button to sunk the lure in 30 sec, 100 m deep and for one minute we get fish from depth of 150 meters. With this technique it is possible to catch fishes of more than 50 kilos that lives in forever dark parts of the sea.
Funny fishing
-Very interesting way of fishing with one fishing rod with 3 to 6 hooks gives you a chance to catch one fish on every hook by entering in school of fish. This way of fishing is very interesting to tourists because in a short time they can catch a lot of fish in an easy way.
