All the equipment and bait, both natural and artificial, are included in the price for our customers so to permit them to fish with excellent and explicitly made gear. The fishing trip for deep fishing is half day, in the morning from 8 am to 12 am or in the afternoon from 13.30 to 17.30.

After some years of tests, attempts and fascinating experiences, we can finally offer to our customers wanting to try the emotion of the purest deep jigging in open Ocean, the possibility to try their hand especially to Esmoregal, jacks in Creoul language. In the Cape Verde archipelago there actually are their most important species, Seriola dumerili, Seriola fasciata and Seriola rivoliana. This one can reach weights of more than 60 kg. It’s fished in deep waters always normally on elevated backdrops over 100 mt, with jigs weighting from 200 till 400 grams depending on currents strength.

For beginners, it’s also possible use powerful electric reels to be fitted on the rods. In some period of the year it’s also possible try for the big Wahoo, Yellowfin tunas and Dolphin fish. Good results are also achieved in light jigging using kabura and inchiku. With these types of baits it is possible to try other bottom species, groupers for example, like the common Garopa (bluespotted) and Méro (withe grouper) together with wrasses like the Bedja (blackbar hogfish) and the exquisite Charraco (scorpionfish) often biting the jigs moving near the bottom. The Fishing Center offers the latest and more up to date equipments for vertical jigging, rods of different weights with fixed, rotating or electric reels together with a plentiful of jigs of all brands and sizes.

Only few miles from the coastline and in Sal it’s possible to fish in open Ocean, both local and migrating species. Yellowfin tunas, wahoo, dolphin fish and sailfish are the most common catches that, depending to the migratory period, can be found all the year in the Sal waters.

The fascination of the hunt for a truly King of the Ocean. Sal hot spots are excellent and, thanks to the bottom geological conformation, it’s possible to fish a marlin few miles from shore. It depends on the years but the best season starts from half April and lasts till August, depending on the conditions and water temperature, even if in these years the best period with greater strike is in the months of May and June. In every season we have hundreds of strikes and in last years more and more we tag and release the marlin instead of capturing it. In last years the fish average weight have constantly been around 500 lbs, peaking with the centre record, a spectacular 816 lbs marlin!

The time of departure for the Full Day is at 8,30 o'clock with re-entry at 16 ca. The lunch is inclusive on board with sandwiches and nonalcoholic drinks.

You primarily fishes with artificial baits and trolling rods from 80 Lbs. For the more experts it is possible also to use stand-up rods from 50 lbs. All the equipment and bait, both natural and artificial, are included in the price for our customers so to allow them to fish with excellent and explicitly made gear.

We of the “Fishing Center” believe in the conservation of billfish and therefore we’ll ask you to release your billfish, unless it’s a “Grander” or in the island there’s a real necessity. Those fishermen releasing their billfish will be awarded with a release certificate. This certificate will be your real trophy.

Thank you in advance.
