Fishing in Pollença

The port of Pollença is located in the bay of Pollença which stands out for its extreme beauty and crystal clear waters. With depths of up to 40 meters, the bay lends itself to bottom fishing and coastal trolling. The cape in the northern part of the bay is the famous Cap Formentor. Around the cape, the seabed drops sharply and reaches 50-60 meters deep just offshore. This area of Cap Formentor is excellent jigging fishing territory for dentex, amberjack and scorpion fish.

The edge is really close to the coast. This means that the first deep-sea fishing areas are already 30 minutes away from the port of Pollença.

Pollença enjoys a mild climate. Fishing, trolling, spinning and jigging are available practically all year round. Species such as amberjack, dentex, jack mackerel, grouper, scorpion fish and pagel can be fished in Pollença from January to December.

Towards the end of August the dolphinfish appear together with frigate tuna, frigate tuna and bluefin tuna in the coastal waters of Pollença. They usually stay until the beginning of November. These months are excellent for inshore fishing with light tackle.

Fishing for tuna in Pollença can be done all year round, but the best months by far are from April to October. Fishing can be done by trolling or baiting. At the end of June the tuna disappear to spawn and it is difficult to fish for them.

Apart from fishing in Pollença, you can also enjoy the area by biking or mountain biking. Do not miss the wine fair that is usually held in April in the Claustre del Convent de Sant Domingo.
