Fishing in Cambrils

There are a large number of species that can be caught in the Gold Coast, although much depends on the time of year, depth, area, type of fishing, bait, etc...

Fish that can be caught all year round are bluefish ("Tallahams"), leerfish, amberjack, amberjack, sea bass, grouper, horse mackerel, etc...

Blue fish usually appear from April onwards and visit our coasts until October. This does not mean that they disappear afterwards; there are always some that prefer to stay. Bluefin tuna, albacore tuna, frigate tuna, frigate tuna, bonito, mackerel, etc... are all more or less common species in the Mediterranean.

With bottom fishing you can catch Conger eel, Forkbeard, Sea bream, Hake, etc. Other rarer fish are the Swordfish and the Imperial Needlefish.

Fishing is normally done between 20 and 40 miles from Cambrils, our home port. In these waters the sea bottom drops from 200 - 300 meters to 800 - 1000 meters deep, which makes it a perfect area to hunt the big predators such as Bluefin Tuna, Swordfish, etc...

From April onwards the tuna pass through the Strait of Gibraltar to spawn in the Mediterranean. Around this time the tuna begin to appear off the Catalan coast. At the beginning, small specimens of about 10-20 kg are usually caught, but little by little larger specimens of 50kg to 80kg are coming in. Tuna weighing 200kg, 300kg and even over 400kg are usually caught during the summer months on the "brumeo".

The surroundings of Cambrils and L'Hospitalet de l'Infant are very interesting for jigging. It is a technique, currently very fashionable, which is fished vertically with spoons from 50 grams to 250 grams. In our database we have the coordinates of hundreds of rocks and wrecks that are real fish magnets. Jigging we can catch - depending on the depths - Dentex, Amberjack, Amberjack, Permit, Bonitos, Doritos, Sea Bass, Mackerel, etc.

The delta area is particularly interesting for spinning and popping. The leerfish and bluefish ("tallahams") that hunt on the surface are easily seduced by poppers.

For those who don't want to spend a whole day at sea or those who don't want to be so far from the coast, we suggest trolling from the coast. In general we do a light trolling with small lures to catch mackerel, horse mackerel, bonito, and spit among others. But we can also rig bigger lures or natural bait (Cuttlefish, Octopus or Spit) to seduce the leerfish and bluefish during the months of July, August and September.

You can also choose to do a "curri" on the bottom, exploring the rocky and poseidonia areas where the giant Dentex, Amberjack and others hide.

The "brumeo" is practiced mainly during the summer months. With the Boat drifting, sardines are continuously baited to attract prey. Depending on the area and the fishing equipment, you can catch mackerel and bonito.

The brumeo works very well to catch giant tuna. Starting from a few years ago we are catching huge tuna at only 40 m depth. You don't have to go far to catch the Bluefin Tuna of your dreams!
