There are many things we don’t know about Bluefin Tuna migration<\/a>. But one thing we do<\/em> know is that one of the two main Bluefin Tuna spawning grounds in the world is the Mar Balear. This sea lies between the Balearic Islands and the coast of Spanish mainland. More particularly the coast between the Cape Sant Antoni and Valencia.<\/p>\n

Between late May and the end of June tuna fishing<\/a> gets really slow in the Mediterranean Sea. But not in the area of Valencia and the northwest of the Balearic Islands. The best time for Tuna Fishing in Valencia actually is from mid May to the end of June. This is the time when the enormous giant bluefin tuna up to 450kg (1000lbs). Early spring and summer are also good for tuna, but the average fish is smaller.<\/p>\n

Valencia: n\u00b01 Destination for Massive Tuna<\/h2>\n

Anglers from all over the world flock to Valencia in May & June to target Giant Bluefin Tuna. Fishing charters<\/a> and recreational fishing boats leave from Valencia City, Cullera, Gandia, Denia and Javea. This is also when one of the main tuna fishing contest the Titan Red<\/a> is helt in the Marina Real de Valencia. The organization claims that they “want the event not to be considered as a competition, but to become a days for marking and scientific collaboration with different national scientific institutes and also be a meeting point between the best European fishermen, where good atmosphere and companionship reigns, exchanging all kinds of experiences related to the sport we practice.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Bluefin tuna chumming<\/p><\/div>\n

Chumming sardines and mackerel the boats fish in areas of 80 to 120m depth. The amount of tuna in this area is just staggering. Capt. Paco says that may times a tuna takes the bait just when he’s putting out the rods. Fish under 200kg (450lbs) are called small<\/em> here!<\/p>\n

Normally the day starts at 06:00 AM with breakfast on board. On the way to the fishing grounds, we stop to catch some extra live baits with feathers (sabiki). Then we head to our favorite fishing spots, around 15 miles off shore. We fish drifting, chumming sardines. Usually we bring over 40kg of sardines.<\/p>\n

We can choose our fighting mode: stand-up or in a fighting chair, as you wish! On board we have SUNRISE and AVET fishing tackle at your disposal. You’ll fish with the lightest and most technical to the most powerful and resistant fishing gear to fight the giants from our area.<\/p>\n
