Whether you are a beginner or an experienced angler, step on board and enjoy a true sport fishing experience in the waters of Salento.
Departing from the harbour of Porto Cesareo, we will explore lively seabeds and stunning marine landscapes. Depending on the season and sea conditions, you will have the opportunity to try different fishing techniques, always with the assistance of an experienced local guide.
Dentex, amberjack, groupers and — with a bit of luck — even the great Mediterranean bluefin tuna are just some of the species we may encounter during the trip.
Every day at sea is different, but they all share the same goal: to enjoy an authentic fishing experience in Salento. 🎣
Don’t wait for someone else to catch the biggest fish instead of you!!
Classic technique, ideal for those who are approaching fishing for the first time or are looking for a relaxing but productive experience. It is practiced stationary, on seabeds between 20 and 60 meters, using natural baits such as sardines, squid or shrimp. The most common prey are red porgy, white bream, scorpion fish and saddled bream. It is a type of fishing that often gives great satisfaction, even with light equipment.
COASTAL TROLLING
One of the most dynamic and fun techniques, suitable for all ages. It is practiced on the move, at low speed and close to the coast, towing artificial baits (such as minnows, spoons or feathers) or small natural baits. It is perfect for targeting schooling fish such as bonitos, frigate tuna, dolphin fish and barracuda. ​​Easy to learn, but with guaranteed excitement!
BOTTOM TROLLING
More challenging technique, designed to attack large predators that stay close to the seabed. Navigating slowly with the help of the electric motor, we tow live bait such as squid, cuttlefish or small fish. It is perfect for catching dentex, groupers, amberjacks and other powerful predators. It requires attention, sensitivity in driving and a good dose of patience.
deep sea trolling
The true queen of sport fishing. You go out to sea, beyond 20 miles, to chase large pelagic fish such as tuna, albacore, giant dolphinfish and imperial garfish. You use big game rods, large artificial baits (such as konahead, octopus and armed minnows), and physical resistance is important: once hooked, the prey can require long fights.
tuna drifting
One of the most intense and exciting experiences you can have at sea. You sail in the open sea and make a slow drift, baiting with sardines to attract the large red tuna of the Mediterranean. When the tuna bites, the fight begins: it can last for hours, and tests technique, resistance and cold blood. It is fishing for those who dream of the big challenge, the BIG GAME!!
VERTICAL techniques
Modern and fascinating techniques, which are based on the vertical action of the metal bait (jig, inchiku, tai rubber, etc..) maneuvered by the fisherman with the addition of small strips of squid. They require coordination, resistance and a good dose of technique, but can provide spectacular catches such as dentex, amberjack, sea bream, big eyes and groupers. Ideal for those looking for an active and engaging approach to fishing.
