Vrsar, Croatia
100+ reviews
As a kid, I was 'wasting' my time fishing ponds around my hometown Pazin, which was the only 'sea' I could reach by bike. Then, 25 years ago, my father bought a boat which changed everything. Soon, I was competing on the national level, first as a diver (Croatian champion) and later as a spearfisherman. In 2005, I bought my first boat and started to fish only with artificial lures. As a 'lure man,' the wish for catching Tuna with the spinning rod was strong enough to keep me fishing 20+ days/month no matter the conditions, and finally, in 2015, the results showed up when I hooked 17 Tunas in one single day. I was lucky enough to fish with one of the best Tuna fishermen in the Adriatic Sea, to learn fast, and to enter the big game even faster by hooking up on 100+ Tunas in one season. The latest news is that I was fishing 3 continents in the last 7 months landing close to record or record fish in all three of them. Currently holding a record for biggest Dogtooth Tuna ever landed with rod and reel in Sudan.

    Awesome Tuna Trip with EFISHent!

    BIG GAME TUNA FISHING 4 h

    I took my three boys out for our fourth morning tuna trip with EFISHent and it was awesome, as always. We've had bluefin bites on every single trip — unheard of in most any fishery. Nikola, Filip and the EFISHent team are incredible fishermen who love the sport, are great teachers on the boat, and an absolute pleasure to be around. On this trip we landed a beautiful 80kg bluefin tuna — check out the landing video. If you want a really good shot at landing a giant bluefin close to shore in a stunning Adriatic setting, these guys are your best bet. Fly into Venice, Trieste or Pula, explore the beautiful Istrian peninsula, eat incredible local food, and have a better chance at hooking a big bluefin than almost anywhere else on earth. Tough to beat!

    Fun family snorkleing & fishing trip

    OFFSHORE BOTTOM FISHING • 4 adults

    We only had half a day free on our vacation and decided to split it between snorkeling island beaches and a fishing trip. Booking Matija’s 5-hour outing was the perfect choice — it never felt rushed and gave us plenty of time to enjoy both activities. Matija is an excellent guide: knowledgeable, friendly, attentive the whole time, and grew up in the local area. The boat was nice and comfortable too. The stories that Matija told about the size of Blue Fin Tuna make me want to come back to focus on that type of fishing. Highly recommend if you’re short on time but still want a quality fishing experience!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    Thank you Brad for your kind word. You have a great great family we’re happy to take you out.

    Great 4h trip

    HALF DAY RUN 4H • 5 adults

    Trip with Nikola was great, it started with bottom fishing where all 5 of us were catching small snappers, and then move further offshore where we had luck finding a group of mahi mahis, and managed to quickly land 5 of them. We round it off with a bit of trolling at the end. Overall great experience as Nikola was very helpful couching and directing us

    Nice Trip with plenty fish

    OFFSHORE BOTTOM FISHING • 2 adults

    It was a very nice trip and Filip was a very friendly guide and gives the best to bring us some fish. We caught plenty of small fishes and a diversity of species. The highlight was the scorpion fish. We also hoped to catch some bigger ones but most of the time we did bottom fishing in big groups of smaller fish. We also searched for Mahi‘s at some spots but we had no luck to see or catch some. Thanks for the trip Filip!

Troling is good choice

Fishing Report The first bluefish of the season have arrived, and the action is officially underway! We’ve already had successful trips, with fish actively feeding and putting up the hard fights they’re known for. This is just the beginning, and we expect the bite to get even better over the coming weeks. If you’re looking for aggressive strikes and exciting light-tackle action, now is a great time to get on the water. We look forward to fishing with you!

Good stuf!!

In last few weeks we moved our boat south. Warmer sea and better conditions around Pula means more fish down there at the moment. We are happy to say that bottom fishing is HOT and we are landing some of the tastiest fish that Adriatic can offer.
