How do you fish for bonito del norte? It takes place in the Bay of Biscay through the traditional method of fishing with live bait, normally anchovies or sardines, consisting of the use of rods and hooks, standing in the middle of the sea, unlike the trolling that is done with the boat running.

Why are they so coveted? The bonito del Norte is born in the peculiar Sargasso Sea, the only one in the world without a coast, and when they are 30 or 40 cm long they migrate to the waters of Madeira, the Canary Islands or the Azores. In the second year of life, which corresponds to the end of the spring cycle, they emigrate again looking for food on the surface, which takes them to the Cantabrian Sea.

Take advantage of this opportunity that runs from end of June to beginning of November and come and live an exciting experience.
