The port of Pollença lies in the Pollença bay that stands out for its beauty and its crystal-clear waters. With depths up to 40 meters, the bay is great for bottom fishing and inshore trolling. The cape at the north side of the bay is the famous Cap Formentor. Around the cape, the seafloor drops quickly to 50 - 60 meters deep. The whole area of Cap formentor is super interesting for jigging for dentex, amberjack and scorpion fish.
Trolling fish species like dentex, atlantic bonito, european barracuda, frigate tuna and mahi-mahi can be caught. Bottom fishing will produce red scorpion fish, sea bream, jack, snapper and other reef fish.
The drop off is really close to shore. From the port of Pollença you can reach the first tuna fishing areas after a short 30 min boat ride. Of course, some captains prefer to go an extra mile to ensure to find the fish if they are a litte further off shore. But still, the offshore fishing in Pollença isn't far from the port at all.
The Albacore (Thunnus alalunga) has large eyes and long pectoral fins. This is why this species is also known as longfin tuna. The largest Albacore can reach up to 140 cm (4.6ft) and weigh up to 40 kg (90lb).
Atlantic Bonito (Sarda sarda) is a rapid fish species known for being great hunters. They have striping on their backs with silver-coloured undersides and they grow up to 30 inches long. They have a hydrodynamic body shape, even more so than larger tuna.
The Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) is a pelagic fish that can grow up to 500kg (1000lb). The biggest Bluefin Tuna ever caught was 780kg (1496lb). These great fighters can be caught trolling, jigging, casting or drifting; mainly off-shore.
The dentex (Dentex dentex) is a common saltwater fish in the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea and sometimes they appear in the Canary Islands, Morocco and Senegal. They have very strong teeth to feed on fish, squid and mollusca. Dentex are a great species for sportfishing and are targetted mainly trolling or jigging. The larger fish are 1m long and can weigh up to 15 kg (35 lb).
Mahi Mahi (Coryphaena hippurus) are also commonly referred to as dorado, dolphin or dolphinfish. They are recognizable by their bluntly shaped heads, long dorsal fin and their bright colouring, dark blue and green on their dorsal side and yellow on their sides and underside.
Pollença has a mild climate. Throughout virtually the whole year you can go bottom fishing, inshore trolling and jigging. Amberjack, dentex, grouper, horse mackerel, scorpion fish and sea bream are around all year round.
Towards the end of August mahi-mahi, frigate tuna, little tunny and also juvenil bluefin tuna visit the coastal waters of Pollença. They use to stay around until early november. These months are great for light tackle inshore trolling.
Tuna fishing in Pollença can also be done throughout the whole year, but the best months are from April to October. Avoid tuna fishing late june when the tuna are spawning and catching one then is pretty hard in this area.
Apart from sea fishing in Pollença you can also go cycling, kite surfing and mountain biking.
