FAQs
Can we keep the catch?
On all trips except big game trips, guests can keep 5 kg of fish or 25% of catch, whichever is more. If guests want the entire catch, it can be agreed upon before booking!
Bluefin tuna, shark, and swordfish are "catch and release" due to strict laws protecting these fish species. However, every year there is a special quota released to keep up to 500kg of tuna, 1 fish per trip for sport fishermen. This quota is bid upon at the beginning of the season, usually May, and if accepted, it is paid for up front. It is paid per kilo. Guests can keep the fish for the cost of the bid as a reimbursement.
Is all the gear included in the fishing trips, and do we need experience?
Yes, all gear, fishing licenses, and gas is included in the trips. No fishing experience is needed! We are here to teach and guide all of our guests
Can You pick us up by boat/arrange taxi?
We can pick you up by boat for an additional cost, but it is not recommended because usually too much time will be spent driving to the fishing grounds. For example, a boat operating out of Split would need 1-2 hours of driving to reach the tuna fishing grounds whereas we would need 15-30 minutes.
We can arrange taxi transport up to groups of 10.
What are our chances of catching the targeted fish?
Here at Fishing Mania we only offer trips that have a chance of 70% and greater. So if the fish is not in season, we don't offer the trip!
