Welcome to Madeira Fishing Charters and to Madeira Island! tightlines Capt Simon
Techniques
Our favourite style of fishing is without doubt Trolling. There is nothing to compare with the sudden ripping of line from your reel as a good fish takes your lure. Watching a Marlin approach the spread and lighting up is something to be experienced and is very, very special. For stubbornness and dogged scrapping, you would have to go a long way to beat a sizeable Tuna as he immediately descents into the depths upon striking.
