So war alles super, nur viel zu teuer.
Es war ein Geschenk für mich. Hätte ich gewusst was das gekostet hatte, würde ich das niemals tun, das ist Preiswucher und das waren die 4 h nicht im geringsten wert.
Ich würde jedem davon abraten.

Top Fish Species in Mallorca
Mallorca is a great place to fish; and depending on the fishing techniques and the fishing area you'll be able to catch a whole range of different species. Offshore there are amazing pelagic species, while inshore you can target some ferocious bottom dwellers. These are the top fish species of Mallorca.
Caproig (scorpionfish)
Red scorpion fish fead on small fish and crustaceans. This stunning Mallorca fish species sheds his skin every two weeks. It's a beautiful fish, very sought after by local fisherman in the Balearic Islands. Highly praised for its meat, this fish is targeted deep sea fishing in Mallorca with squid or cut bait in rocky areas (usually 40 meters deep or more).
Dolphinfish
The adult male and female dolphinfish - also known was dorado or mahi mahi - can be told apart by their different fronts. The male one is sharper whereas the female is more rounded. The best months to target them are September and October. Dolphinfish are mainly caught trolling small lures and feathers. They are good fighters and offten make impressive leaps during the fight.
Bluefin Tuna
Mallorca and Balearic Islands are one of the most important spawning grounds of this "king of the seas." Although the best time to catch tuna is the summer when the waters are warm, bluefin tuna can be caught throughout the year in the waters of Alcudia. Around the Balearic Islands, tuna use to feed in deeper waters on mackerel and horse mackerel. Top water fishing frenzies are rather rare here. Tuna are mostly caught trolling or chumming (with sardines, mackerel, ...).
Albacore
Usually, albacore are caught offshore trolling plugs and squidlike lures. Albacore is a good eating fish and very popular among sport fishermen. In June and July several prestigious offshore trolling tournaments - like Cala d'Or - are held and the main species is the albacore. The best time to catch albacore in Mallorca is May through August.
Swordfish
The swordfish is a migratory predator that is characterized by its long, flat peak (like a sword). At the adult stage, they lose all their teeth and scales. The winter months are the best time to target swordfish, although it is an uncommon fish; hooking a swordfish in Mallorca isn't easy, getting one to the boat is even harder.

The larger fish are 1m long and can weigh up to 15 kg (35 lb).

FISHING SEASON IN Mallorca
Fishing trip Mallorca in Spring
Late May, is great to target species such as bluefin tuna, white tuna (albacore), short bill speerfish and dorado (dolphinfish). Bluefin tuna pass through the channel of Ibiza, finding their way across the Gulf of Valencia to the Delta del Ebro to spawn around the Balearic Islands.
These are large specimens such as albacore of 10kg-20kg and 15kg–50kg tunas. It is usually best to fish them trolling. Occasionally, shortbill speerfish can be an exciting side catch during your fishing trip in Mallorca.
Inshore, there's good reef fishing and also dentex fishing using squid.
Summer
In June, shoals of fish move in places called the "S" and "Tower", located in southern Mallorca. In June and July, the albacore move eastwards to "Ses Mamelles". In Mallorca in summer, you can fish mainly by chumming and the best areas are between Majorca and Ibiza, north of Cabo Formenter and also an area located to the east of Porto Colom and Porto Cristo.
Autumn
Spin fishing and light tackle trolling are the main techniques in Autumn. Sevaral tuna species (juvenile bluefin tuna, false albacore, melva, bonito...) and dolphinfish can be caught using feathers, plugs and other artificials.
Winter
Reef fishing is the best technique for your sea fishing in Mallorca during the winter months. There's a wide variety of fish species including Caproig or red scorpion fish, black spot sea bream, conger eel and forkbeard. You can also do squid fishing in Mallorca.
All year round fishing in Mallorca
Year round anglers go jigging over the reefs, wrecks and dropoffs to target dentex, amber jack or grouper.
Bottom fishing bait including worm, squid, cuttlefish and cut fish species such as black spot sea bream, forkbeard, white sea bream, caproig, mackerel, grouper and conger are caught.
In Alcudia, you can fish bluefin tuna all year. A few miles from the coastline is the "song", where the ocean floor falls 1000m. Tuna and swordfish permanently live in this area and feed mainly on mackerel. In this area of Mallorca storms are very common, although on calm days, you can enjoy authentic landscapes of the waters of Alcudia.
