During these months we usually catch fish such as: Rays, Moray eel, Breams, Snappers, Barracuda, Amberjacks and Congers and so on.
During this period there is even a chance of catching Tuna fish.
Since Shoal of Tuna move along the coast in March and April, there is a great chance of catching Skipjack, Albacore, Big Eye, Yellow and Bluefin Tuna fish during these months.
Unfortunately there are no indications on the exact weeks for this.
From May through October the chances for Trolling are clearly increasing.
The Tuna of March and April are succeeded by White Marlin and the Spear fish of May and June.
The period in which chances are up to catch a Blue Marlin is from June through September.
Also during the months mentioned earlier the Wahoo, Dorado and all Tuna species like Albacore, Big eye tuna and the Yellow fin tuna are often caught when trawling for fish.

• Is experience required to go big game fishing?
Experience is not required. Aboard the boat and at the harbour desk, four languages are spoken.
These are English, German, Spanish and Dutch.
So everything will be explained fluently in one of the above languages.
The world record Mako shark was caught on the boat Blue Marlin 3 by an Englishman, who had never held a fishing rod in his life.
After a four and a half hour fight he landed the monster weighing 488kilo/1075lbs.
So, you are never too old to learn!
