For many fishing enthusiasts Big-game fishing provides the ultimate
challenge. You and your friends will feel the excitement, as your
line tightens and adrenaline starts to flow. But the scream of the
reel while mighty fish pulls out line is only the beginning of the
battle that requires a good deal of strength and endurance.
Minutes seem like hours as the battle continues. The fight against
a bluefin tuna or shark can last literraly for hours – hours of
hard work before you reel the big fish alongside the boat.
However, the challenge does not end there. Hauling a big, heavy,
powerful, and still very much alive fish on board the boat represents
also considerable challenge. Yet, anyone who has ever done it would
never forget this unique experience because there is nothing more
rewarding for a fisherman than winning a battle against one of the
the strongest and fastest sea's predators.
The Croatian coast attracts many large fish and has gained a reputation
as one of the best sea fishing destinations in Europe. In the Adriatic
sea there is a variety of marine life which includes large numbers
of big-gamefish and many of them could be found relatively close
to shore. Traveling time to our fishing grounds is generally only
about one hour and that means more fishing time for you. Our
catches normally consist of bluefin tuna, albacore tuna, swordfish,
tresher shark, blue shark, amberjacks and dorados. Little tunny
and bonito fish are commonly caught as by-catch, especially during
March and April , when they arrive in huge numbers in the inshore
waters. Little tunnies in Adriatic grow to sizes up to 15 kg, with
average size around 5 - 10 kilos. Read more...>>
The most valuable target species in Big Game in Croatia is the Bluefin
tuna. The bluefin tuna is considered by many as the world's most
powerful big game fish, and the toughest of all fish to fight and
land. They are prized among sport fishers for their fight
and speed, shooting through the water with their powerful, crescent-shaped
tails up to 43 miles (70 kilometers) per hour. Their torpedo-shaped,
streamlined bodies are built for speed and endurance.
The northern bluefin tuna is not only important big gamefish
species, it is also an important commercial species. It is an interesting
fact that bluefin tuna is depicted on the reverse of the Croatian
2 kuna coin, showing importance of tuna fishing in Croatia. The
inscription "TUNJ" (lat. THUNNUS THYNNUS") is displayed in the upper
semi-circle along the edge of the coin. To read more about fisheries
