About the Tour:
The Azores Sea is a favorite spot for sport fishing lovers and we will show you why. As our sea is influenced by the Gulf Stream, sport fishing is a great success. Several species, during their migratory route, pass through our waters, large pelagics such as blue marlin, white marlin, dorado, Indian mackerel, and other tuna species: Bluefin tuna, bigeye tuna, yellowfin, and bonito.
In big game fishing, we practice trolling, in this technique the boat navigates the fishing spots we choose at speeds between 7 and 10 knots, we use five rods with artificial samples chosen according to the target species and the fishing season, if there is a shot, the fisherman sits in the combat chair and this is his moment, enjoy with the support of our crew.
For this activity we have at your disposal the Boat “SCORPION” equipped with 6 PENN 130 lbs, two PENN 80 lbs, 2 PENN 50 lbs, and with SUFIX lines made by IGFA.
Vessel “RABÃO” equipped with 4 SHIMANO 130 lbs, 2 SHIMANO 80 lbs, and with SUFIX lines dented by IGFA.
These boats are equipped with the latest navigation and safety technology. For a more sustainable practice, we are apologists for the “catch and release” concept. We caught the fish to watch it and take pictures and then released it again into the sea alive.
Join OCEANTUR for a fantastic and relaxing day with friends, fishing on the island of São Miguel. The Azores archipelago is considered one of the best places for fishing in the world, where a wide variety of marine species pass.
