Without any doubt, the Golfo de Sant Jordi – the gulf between the Cape of Salou and the Ebro Delta – is one of the best fishing areas in the Spanish Mediterranean. You can go inshore trolling in the natural reserve of the Ebro Delta, you can discover the hidden bays and white beaches with your private luxury yacht or maybe you want to go tuna fishing… We organize unforgettable half day and full day fishing tours from Cambrils. Book a boat with your family and friends and enjoy the Mediterranean Sea from the other side!
Where are we?
We are based in the small village of Cambrils situated in Southern Catalonia, Spain. This village has a long marine history with a relaxed Mediterranean ambiance, where every angler will feel at home. Cambrils is one of the few coastal towns that have succeeded in maintaining its pueblo charm and character. Notwithstanding, all the tourist facilities are here, including hotels, restaurants, leisure and cultural activities and shops.
Big Game Off Shore Fishing
April marks the start of tuna fishing off the coast of Costa Dorada. Tuna pass the Strait of Gibraltar to spawn in the Mediterranean Sea. We fish off shore, about 20 to 40 miles from the marina of Cambrils. These areas have a depth of 800 to 1000 meters with interesting undersea structures, weed lines, clean water and temperature breaks that attract plenty of baitfish. These waters provide plenty of predators like bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, swordfish, etc
During the early months there’s trolling for smaller tuna (about 10 – 30 kg) but towards the summer months the bigger fish start to bite. This is when the huge bluefin tuna of 200kg, 300kg and even 400kg can be landed.
Inshore Trolling
For those who don’t want to go too far away from the coast, there’s inshore trolling. Generally spoken we troll with small lures to catch mackerel, horse mackerel, bonito, barracuda and others. With bigger artificial bait and with life bait (squid, octopus or small barracuda) we chase palometon, bluefish and amberjack. Good months for fishing cambrils are July, august and September.
Chumming
Chumming or chunking is a fishing technique that works very well during the summer months. We let the boat drift and we attract the game fish (especially tuna) by constantly baiting with sardines, mackerel and other small baitfish. This technique is very successful to catch giant bluefin tuna. In our area we catch them at a few miles from Cambrils. You don’t have to go that far away to catch the bluefin tuna of your dreams!
