Tips & Tricks, bait and more
The bay of Calpe, between the Morro de Toix on the west side and the Peñon de Ifach on the east side, is relatively shallow with depths ranging from 20 to 40m deep. The bottom is fairly flat featuring some scattered rocks. Obviously these rocks attrackt all kind of undwater wildlife: smaller fish, but also larger predators such as dentex, amberjack, bonito, barracuda, leerfish, bluefish etc ...
Around the Peñon de Ifach - this area is very interesting for diving too - the bottom is steaper and less than a mile off shore there's over 50m depth.
Sailing eastward, offshore, is the Ibiza channel, where the seabed plummets from 100 meters to 500 meters and even 900 meters deep. This is the prime deep-sea fishing area of the Costa Blanca: giant bluefin tuna, albacore, little tunny, swordfish and spearfish.
