Mengo Traditional Fishing & fish picnic 

 Obala doktor Franje Tuđmana, Stari Grad, 21460, Croatia

If you’re going to cast a line in Stari Grad, look no further than Mengo fishing. Captain Fabijan will be your guide, which means you’ll tap into years of knowledge and experience. We take you to the fishermen’s fleet location by fishermen’s speedboat, where you will observe fishermen working in the traditional way.
This method of fishing is now only practiced by a few Adriatic fishermen. It is a century-old tradition of the Radonic family, passed down from father to son through the generations. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the entire fishing process, swim in crystal-clear bays, and even participate in the fishing if desired.
With us, you will be able to swim and snorkel at depths of 3-8 meters among the fishes. Fabijan, our experienced skipper and fisherman, will accompany you in the sea, ensuring a smooth experience. You will learn about local fish species such as dentex, salps, sea breams, and groupers.
On the boat, snorkels, masks, and flippers will be provided, along with an underwater camera for use. After the fishing process we will be going to a bay restorant where you will get to try the fish that was caught. The fish will be grilled for you and then you will be able to enjoy a picnic by the sea. There will be time after the lunch for swimming and sunbathing in the bay so you can experience and enjoy the island kind of life. The entire experience will last between 6 to 7 hours, depending on the day’s fishing location. Departure is scheduled around 8.30 AM from the Tourist Board office in Stari Grad, contingent upon the weather. We will contact you the day before with all the necessary information.

These waters are known for Dentex, Salps, Gilt Head Sea Breams and more – with any luck, you’ll find out for yourself!

Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing
