Fresh Fishing Reports from Sao Miguel

Another great tuna day!!!

September 5, 2025

Another very happy guest with 2 big tunas on the Raiado boat. Las weeks have been very productive with big tunas and hard fighting, returning to the marina we manage to fish a white marlin too.

Another great fishing 2/3 bigeye tuna!!!

August 14, 2025

The BigGame experience with our Swedish friends was simply unforgettable. The whole day dedicated to fishing presented us with moments of pure adrenaline and joy. We managed to capture an incredible 2/3 bigeye +240lbs class, really fat fishes. We share laughter, stories and the emotion of each strike, making the journey even more special. It was an adventure that will be stored in our memories forever. Thank you for your company and all the best.

We have another yellowfin tuna.

August 5, 2025

We are pleased to announce the arrival of Yellowfin tuna, marking another successful day for our operations and the enjoyment of our guests. Initially, activity was moderate; however, we observed birds and dolphins before experiencing a significant strike, resulting in a rewarding catch. We invite you to join us for a memorable experience.

Nice Big Game trip with yellow fin tuna

August 4, 2025

Today, we were fortunate enough to catch an 80-pound yellowfin tuna nit far of the marina. On a four hours trip, we located the fish, and shortly thereafter, we were able to get a delightful lunch for our entire family and some pieces for our guest. While fishing can be challenging, some days are truly extraordinary, and we are very pleased for our guests. We invite you to join us for a wonderful adventure.

First Yellow fin tuna of the season

July 20, 2025

We went out of our way for a whole day to fish for this gorgeous yellowfin tuna. There was a lot of action, but it wasn't easy to get a bite, but we finally heard that reel sound we were waiting for. Thanks for coming!

A different fish: spearfish.

June 13, 2025

Today we successfully caught a spearfish, a novel addition to our offerings and a first for the season. While uncommon in this region, this small specimen is a noteworthy achievement.

Would recommend a full day excursion. The fish were there, we just had a time constraint that prevented us from hooking more. Big game fishing for serious fishermen, bring your muscles! Experience worth the cost.

We didn't have a bite but we saw 3 different species of whales and 100s of dolphins. The day before they only had one bite but reeled in a 100kg tuna.

Be prepared for wind and waves. If you are accustomed to inland lake conditions I would recommend that you take motion sickness medication prior to leaving the dock and stay out on deck whenever possible.

My initial review in retrospect was too harsh.I can say that at this time of year fishing was very slow.Maybe I should have booked a full day but I didn't know.The boat ,the captain and first mate were excellent and I would recommend them.I guess with only one trip I can't fairly judge the fishing opportunities.i would book again with Adriano.

Keep in mind that it is fishing. There is no guarantee that you might catch something, or catch what you expected on forehand. The fish might be somewhere else then where you are.
