Big Game fishing in Huelva<\/h2>\n

The Canary Islands, Madeira or the Azores are arguably the home of Europe’s big game fishing with the waters around the islands holding some large species \u2014 including marlin, tuna, mahi-mahi, and wahoo. But Huelva’s rich waters (and those of the Algarve in Portugal), offer some of the best sport fishing in the world. The waters that wash the coasts of Huelva are loaded with dozens of varieties of quality fish. In a two-hour flight to Seville or Faro, you’re already in a primier big game fishing destination. Although Huelva is not that well known as big game fishing destination, you’ll be spoilt for choice with the chance to fish for pelagic monsters such as bluefin tuna and blue marlin.<\/p>\n

Huelva has a stable local tuna population. There’s so much food for these fish (calamar, cuttle fish, mackerel, sardines, anchovies…) that they’ll stay all year round. When the tuna migration<\/a> starts, the fish coming from the Gulf of Mexico and other parts of the Atlantic Ocean join the feast.<\/p>\n

\"Bluefin<\/a>

The fishing season could go all year round, but due to bad weather and colder temperatures, the tuna go to deeper areas. But as soon as the weather starts to calm down in Spring and the waters start to heat up, the first tuna show up at the surface. The peak times for tuna fishing in Huelva are between April and September.<\/p>\n

Tuna fishing in Huelva<\/a> is done chumming or trolling. They use heavy tackle with rods and reels of 80lb to 130lb. A fight with one of these pelagic monsters can be 2 hours or longer.<\/p>\n
