Fishing Technique's

Trolling

Technique performed with the boat when underway at low speed and is designed for various pelagic fish seeking for food. There are used four rods fitted with standard reels, with artificial baits that imitate squid or other small fish. This is a technique that often provides good moments of adrenaline to the participants, not only because of the size of the specimens but also for their nature - fighters till the end! In a sustainable concept of fisheries, we promote the mode "Cath and release", except those subject to records. However, this modest contribution to the maintenance of stocks will also be your decision.

Jigging of Ponta Delgada

This technique that has plenty of followers, mainly due to its effectiveness and probability of prime specimens of considerable size and weight. This technique is intended for pelagic fish that can be found on rocky bottoms at depths between thirty meters and one hundred meters, where metal jigs are dropped down until the sea bed and reeled all the way up to the surface, imitating a wounded or running away fish that became very eye-catching for their predatores, causing them to attack decisively.

When this happens, the fight is fantastic and full of adrenaline.

The most common species are the Amberjack, Guellyjack, Bluefish, Barracuda, Seabream and others, whose battles require great attention, speed and strength from the fisherman to not be deceived in the skillful and strong dip of the fish.
