fishing adventure Mallorca – Ibiza – Menorca
For many years the Mediterranean was largely underestimated in terms of its possibilities for sport fishing adventure in SPAIN – it was generally considered to be poor in fish and also difficult to fish. The team at Mar Balear Fishing Adventures is constantly proving that, despite these statements, you can experience excellent fishing in the Balearic Islands.
Fishing trips SPAIN
The guides have many years of experience in fishing trips on Mallorca and Ibiza. They know when, where – and of course how to fish the various species successfully. Around the islands of Mallorca and Ibiza the angler can expect a sensational diversity of marine predators.
In addition, fish are often caught in really big sizes. In addition to numerous types of Tuna, including the gigantic Bluefin Tuna, Spearfish and even Swordfish are regularly hooked up in summer. Also, depending on the season, large quantities of Dorados, Palometta (Leerfish) and Amberjacks . When bottom fishing, Grouper, Conger, John Dory, Scorpionfish and various types of Dentex can be expected. There are also a number of different types of Shark. Mainly Blue Shark, but also Mako and Thresher Sharks. A very special highlight is the targeted fishing for large Amberjacks off Ibiza. (Late October-January).
Fishing travel Ibiza / Menorca
Since the possibilities on the Balearic Islands are so diverse, we have different tour offers, tailored to the respective season with the best fishing travel in SPAIN prospects for the respective fish species.
Mallorca – The “Banco Tour” – multi-day trip with overnight stay + meals on board
The Banco Tour is, so to speak, the “King’s Tour” and thus pretty much the best thing you can do in the Mediterranean. The fishing is done at the “Banco de Emile de Baudot”, named after a French scientist. This is a plateau that is about 50 nautical miles offshore from Mallorca and has an area of about 2 x 6 nautical miles.
The average water depth is around 85-120 m, but at the edges the plateau drops steeply on the north side quickly to over 1000 m and on the south side even to over 2500 m. You don’t have to be an expert to imagine that pretty much all the fish species in the Mediterranean can be found here. But not only that – giant Whales (mainly Sperm Whales) also regularly come to the bank to fill their stomachs here. When asked what to catch there, the Mar Balear team replied in unison, “Especially bigger!”
The weather is of course subject to change. Since the “Banco” is very far out from the coast, this tour can of course only take place if the weather forecast is good (ie when the sea is calm).
The weather is of course subject to change. Since the “Banco” is very far out from the coast, this tour can of course only take place if the weather forecast is good (ie when the sea is calm). The weather in this area is usually very stable from May to August. However, in case the weather does not allow to get to the “Banco”, the crew will fish with you in more protected areas (e.g. in the lee side of Mallorca / Ibiza). Since the guides are very knowledgeable, you will certainly have a great time on board the yachts and catch lots of beautiful fish.
