Dentex
We can find dentex between 0 and 200 meters deep, depending on whether young or adult. Generally they can be found closer to the shore, although they are often found in deeper waters. Just like in Barcelona, many fishermen use the trolling technique with natural bait to catch this species. Furthermore you can fish almost all year round, although spring is usually very good time for fishing in Tarragona.
Amberjack
The amberjack dumerili, also known by other names such as pez limón, medregal coronado or lecha, belongs to the Carangidae fish species. You can catch this fish in waters of Tarragona with trolling techniques during most of the year.
Bluefin Tuna
You can fish for bluefin tuna in Tarragona with the trolling technique from April to August, although you will also have success with chumming in July and August. In the course of fishing in Tarragona, we can find in deeper waters. When the tuna hunts on the surface you can fish for it by casting large spinning lures. When the tuna is close enough, simply cast poppers, stick baits or vinyl to catch them. It's interesting to know that fishing in Tarragona is an area where red tuna breed. The tuna are usually seen in late March to late October, although groups of them remain in the area throughout the year.
Since farms of tuna were installed just off the coast of l'Ametlla de Mar, there are giant tunas only 2-3 miles from the coast. During the summer months enormous catches of tuna (up to 400kg) are frequently fished by chumming. While fishing in Tarragona it is possible to fish by trolling April to August.
Black Spot Sea Bream
This sea bream is caught at depths of 200 - 400m. Young fish are generally found closer to the coast, in shallow water as they swim grouped together in big schools of fish. They generally live in small shoals and as their age increases can be found in deep, sandy places. Fishing in Tarragona during the winter months is truly fascinating.
Leerfish
The Leerfish basically feeds of fish such as sardines or anchovies, sardinella, garfish, horse mackerel or mackerel, although cephalopods that hunt at the edge of rocks and the sand are also included in their diet. The Leerfish can be fished whilst fishing in Tarragona by trolling with small barracudas or garfishes between 7 and 20 meters deep.
