July 3, 2025
Catch & Release Report – July 3rd, 2025 Today, aboard the Áqua, we embarked on a remarkable big-game fishing trip off the coast of Tavira, focused on the catch and release of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus). The sea conditions were calm with light swell, and the water temperature hovered around 23.6 °C — ideal for trolling with artificial lures. During the morning session, we had two extraordinary encounters with true giants of the sea. The first tuna was hooked at 08:42 AM. After a demanding 36-minute fight, we managed to bring it boat-side. The fish was estimated to weigh approximately 200 kg, with a powerful, imposing frame. It was cleanly hooked in the corner of the jaw, which allowed for a safe and efficient release. After a short revival alongside the boat, it swam away strongly in excellent condition. The second tuna struck at 11:10 AM and delivered a truly epic battle. The fight lasted 48 minutes, marked by deep, sustained runs and bursts of raw power. This fish was estimated to weigh around 250 kg — a true monster. Although it took longer to recover after the fight, it was successfully released after careful revival, swimming back into the depths with strength and confidence. Both captures were made using heavy-duty, high-performance gear designed for this caliber of sportfishing. As always, we practiced responsible catch-and-release techniques to ensure the health and sustainability of the species. It was an unforgettable day aboard the Áqua, filled with adrenaline, awe, and a deep respect for the ocean. Encounters like these remind us why we fish — and why we protect.

Make sure you start early in the morning. The water temperature is high during the afternoon, catching fish becomes difficult then.
