Manilva is a popular area for fishing from the sea off the coast due to the abundance of marine life found in this area. This is mainly due to the constant in flow of water from the Atlantic Ocean to make up for the
evaporation from the Mediterranean. This mix of waters seems to create an ideal environment to encourage marine life to flourish.
Bottom fishing off the coast of Manilva is also very popular with some
fantastic grounds only 10 minuets from the Port of Duquesa species such as sea Breams, Dorado, Wrasse, Snapper, Grouper, Tope and Eels. Conger and Moray are also caught here and there are jigging & feather pulls for squid and mackerel.
Trolling or game fishing is possibly the most exciting type of fishing to be enjoyed in this area with Bass, Bonito, Mahi Mahi (Dolphin Fish) and Swordfish available for the catching.
Blue fin Tuna are also frequent in these waters. There is a spring run of small Tuna about 60 lb then during August, September and October the larger tuna (150lb plus) frequent local waters. Shark fishing is also popular with plenty
of blue shark and the odd Mako being caught. |
