Rock fish
In summer, rock-fish fishing is in full swing. Easy and fun, rockfish fishing can be done from the shore, from a boat or kayak, using baits or small soft lures armed with a lead head.
The density and voracity of these fish make them the easiest to target. The most basic rigs will suffice to catch these fish. Worms, small bits of shrimp or shellfish will undeniably attract these pretty Mediterranean fish.
The large labridae family will join the feast as soon as the rigs are finer and the hook size is adapted to their small mouths. Mediterranean crenilabra, peacock crenilabra and ocelot crenilabra inhabit rocky areas and Posidonia meadows.
Sparids
The large sparid family includes a variety of species such as sars, sea breams, saups and oblades. In summer, you'll find it easier to catch unsuspecting fish like sauper or oblade. These two species frequent sandy beaches or rocky coasts without fear of bathers.
On the contrary, saups and oblades come to feed near anchored boats on the various foods thrown overboard. This is the perfect opportunity to fish for bread in the vicinity and make some great catches. Even if these fish are very opportunistic, care must be taken to fish with light, simple rigs to lure the maximum number of fish.
Pelagics
When sailing close to the coast, it's not uncommon to see pelagic fish hunting in midsummer. Mackerel, redfish, pelamids and bonitos are regularly on the hunt at dawn and dusk. This is the perfect opportunity to get out your lures for casting or trolling.
And you may even be lucky enough to spot the bluefin tuna now present all year round on the Mediterranean coast.
Summer fishing in the Mediterranean is a great time to have fun and catch a variety of fish.
