Reviews from the users

Das angeln und auch die Crew waren wirklich super, sehr freundlich und sie wissen was sie tun. Leider wurde ich nach kurzer Zeit Seekrank, daher der Tipp für Neulinge: Packt euch Tabletten ein ;) Definitiv eine Weiterempfehlung! Ich werde im nächsten Urlaub gerne erneut eine Ausfahrt bei euch buchen :)

Merci. Top je recommande. Super expérience.

Todo perfecto, nos falto una buena captura, pero no fue por el esfuerzo del capitán, que lo intentó al máximo. Ya se sabe que hay días sin suerte

Tips & Tricks, bait and more

This village has a long marine history with a relaxed Mediterranean ambiance, where every angler will feel at home. Cambrils is one of the few coastal towns that have succeeded in maintaining its pueblo charm and character. Notwithstanding, all the tourist facilities are here, including hotels, restaurants, leisure and cultural activities and shops.

There’s a large number of species that can be caught in the Mediterranean Sea; however, a lot depends on the time of the year, the fishing area, fishing techniques, bait, etc… 

For example, you can catch all year round bluefish, amberjack, sea bass, grouper, horse mackerel, etc 

The tuna species like blue fin, albacore, bonito, mackerel prefer visiting our areas from April until end October. This doesn’t mean that they disappear; there are always a few individuals that prefer to stay. We’ve caught more than once bonitos in December for example. 

Rare species are sharks and swordfish…

FISHING SEASON IN Cambrils

Big Game Off Shore Fishing

April marks the start of tuna fishing off the coast of Costa Dorada. Tuna pass the Strait of Gibraltar to spawn in the Mediterranean Sea. We fish off shore, about 20 to 40 miles from the marina of Cambrils. These areas have a depth of 800 to 1000 meters with interesting undersea structures, weed lines, clean water and temperature breaks that attract plenty of baitfish. These waters provide plenty of predators like bluefin tuna, albacore, swordfish, etc

During the early months there’s trolling for smaller tuna (about 10 – 30 kg) but towards the summer months the bigger fish start to bite. This is when the huge bluefin tuna of 200kg, 300kg and even 400kg can be landed.

Jigging, Spinning & Popping

In the in-shore areas around Cambrils and Hospitalet there are very interesting jigging spots. This fishing technique, very popular at the moment, consists in vertically fishing a jig of 50 grams to 250 grams. The fishing area around Cambrils features interesting rocks, wrecks, weed lines, etc. You can target species like “denton”, amberjack, palometa, dorado, sea bass, mackerel, bonito, etc.

The shallow waters of the Ebro Delta are a superb area for spinning and popping. The palometas and the bluefish hunt for little baitfish at the surface and popular lures are big yellow poppers, all kind of fancy plugs, feathers and other various artificials.

In-shore Trolling

For those who don’t want to go too far away from the coast, there’s inshore trolling. Generally spoken we troll with small lures to catch mackerel, horse mackerel, bonito, barracuda and others. With bigger artificial bait and with life bait (squid, octopus or small barracuda) we chase palometon, bluefish and amberjack. Good months are July, august and September.

The deeper areas can be fished with downriggers, sometimes a big denton or a massive amberjack …

Tuna Fishing - Chumming

Chumming or chunking is a fishing technique that works very well during the summer months. We let the boat drift and we attract the game fish (especially tuna) by constantly baiting with sardines, mackerel and other small baitfish. This technique is very successful to catch giant bluefin tuna. In our area we catch them at a few miles from Cambrils. You don’t have to go that far away to catch the bluefin tuna of your dreams!
