Jackson’s first White Marlin!
July 28, 2025
Today we had the pleasure of kicking OFF the White Marlin season in the Algarve, the first of 2025. Jackson had a quick fight and had the opportunity to watch the tagging with a satellite tag. He made a release as a professional mate! I hope to see you next year for some more unforgettable experiences!

Team of friends and the Bluefin Tuna
July 14, 2025
After 3 days of fishing with this fantastic group of excellent anglers, Engraver, Ethan, Basil, and CJ the Cormorant, we caught and released 5/9 BFT, with two double strikes. The guys had loads of fun and enjoyed some cuisine specialities from Algarve. They will also be joining us again next year as they have booked 3 more BFT fishing trips.

Another fantastic day in the Algarve coast, fishing for Bluefin Tuna with a strike of one BFT on two lures (at first it looked like a double strike). The seas were fantastic and freed the line that had the fish. Ethan fought the fish (600lbs) for two hours with an exemplary release by mate Luís Diogo. Congratulations to Ethan and everyone on board. #off_ocean #bluefintuna #sal_x_algarve #release #algarve

Bluefin Tuna
July 10, 2025
These last two days, I welcomed aboard my boat, Sal_X, Dong Shin, a South Korean angler that brought with him a local fishing television cameraman. They were unusual, as we were fishing with Shark Morale lures. These lures work on the surface and dive for about 2/4 seconds. On the first day, we had our first strike, and the BFT's strength was so great that the leader (150 lbs) broke near the lure. On the second day, we had our first strike, and the BFT ran about 150 meters and unfortunately unhooked. We wanted action, and almost at the end of the day, we returned to conventional fishing. Within 30 minutes, we had a strike that got unhooked after 100 meters. Finally, on the last strike of the day, we got a BFT that ran 350 meters. We began a two-hour battle, with Shin constantly retrieving the line for the first 30 minutes. We were about 60 meters from the BFT, who was always trying to pull the line to sink and try to free himself from the lure. Finally, after a few approaches and runs by the BFT and maneuvers with the SAL_X boat, the BFT released the lure right next to us. Another successful release with a BFT full of life.
