Tips & Tricks, bait and more
Passing through the Ibiza Channel is mandatory for the large predators like the bluefin tuna and the albacore that go to spawn around the Balearic Islands and the Leon Gulf. The port of Denia is strategically well-located for big game fishing, since only 20 miles from the coast, you can find depths of 900 meters.
Around the Cape of San Antonio, the sea floor is rocky with some sandy patches: very atractive for jigging or for trolling with downrigger for dentex and amberjack. Here, bluefish and leerfish are also possible catches.
Reef fishing in Denia will produce species such as conger eel, red scorpion fish, blackspot seabream, snapper and red porgy.
