Beste trip ooit!
De 2 schippers waren super! Heel relaxed, mooi op tijd vertrokken, fijne uitleg, kortom: geweldig! Veel vis gevangen en 3 keer van ligplaats veranderd om het beste eruit te halen. Bij afloop gestopt aan de blue lagoon voor een verfrissende duik. Zeker een aanrader!
- 5.0/5(Big game fishing / Bluefin tuna)

Captain Ante was exceptional, my sons and I enjoyed the trip Ante went out of his way to make the experience enjoyable. We would highly recommend this trip
- 5.0/5(Fishing & cruising Blue cave trip)
We love Captain Toni!
Toni was very communicative before we even booked our trip. Then he arrived on time, was well prepared and helped us catch several fish (John Dory), which we took home and cooked for dinner. One of the best days of our week in Croatia!

About John Dory fishing
Size
0.5 to 1.5kg
Food Value
Excellent
Game Quality
Low
John Dory is a distinctive sport fish known for its dark side spot and delicate white meat. Many anglers target it for great table fare and relaxed, steady action near reefs and other structure. It is an ambush predator, so patience and precision pay off.
Most trips use light tackle and bottom fishing in inshore waters around reefs, wrecks, and kelp. Live bait, such as small bait fish, works very well. Slow-pitch jigs and soft plastics also produce; a jig is a weighted lure you move with short lifts. Keep your presentation slow and close to the bottom.
Expect gentle bites and a short, controlled fight rather than long runs. This makes John Dory fishing ideal for first-time anglers, families, and anyone who loves fresh seafood. Bring sun protection, non-slip shoes, and light layers. A small cooler with ice helps care for your catch where keeping fish is allowed. Check what your captain provides, and pack any personal snacks and drinks.
Before you go, review local rules. Confirm whether you need a fishing license or permit, and check season and harvest regulations for your area. Size and bag limits vary, and some waters may be closed or protected. Always follow current local laws and guidance on the day of your trip.
