Sardinia Shore Fishing and Coastal Environments
Sardinia's coast has a system of small and big coves, rocky shores and relatively short beaches all around the island. The majority of the coastline has shallow waters from 1 to 5m depth and rarely deeper than 15m within 50m from shore. There are a few potential fishing places with more depth right off the rocks but some are located into Marine reserves. More details about the Marine reserves of Sardinia are located at the end of the page.
In detail, some interesting pieces of the coast for fishing in Sardinia can be found in southern Sardinia, especially on the two corners of the island. Most of the west coast, presents coves, beaches, and shallow rocky shore; a regular environment to explore meter by meter, to find the best fishing spots in Sardinia. Gamefish which is possible to find in this part of Sardinia are Seabass, Bluefish primarily, but also Barracuda, Amberjack and other species are anyway occasionally possible.
The north-west side is influenced by some of the Marine reserves of Sardinia where fishing is not allowed or regulated. Anyhow, there is an interesting piece of the northwestern coast, right before the Asinara island and the homonym gulf, with some of the deeper waters on this side of the island. This is a good environment if looking for pelagic and bottom predators.

Deep-Sea Fishing Sardinia
Live bait trolling in Sardinia, called also bottom trolling, consists of slowly trolling alive baits, or in very particular cases dead baits, suspended or on the bottom, employing a system of weights leaders and hooks to avoid getting stuck on the Bottom. Between the main target in Sardinia, there are Amberjack fishing and Dentex fishing, apart from the other classic Mediterranean species. Fishing for Amberjack specifically, requires a dedicated method, that opens the target to other big pelagic fish. This is an itinerant technique, which needs the knowledge and skills of the captain, from the very beginning. Finding the right live baits, for example, is a key moment for a successful fishing session, as not every bait is productive in the same way; guests can take part in this operation, most of the times.
The fishing action then consists of a slow research trolling, jumping from a selected spot to another, until active predators are found. Guests can take part in all the process of this typical Mediterranean fishing technique. In the most important part, during the trolling action, every little sign on the rod tip is very important to identify and strike the fish on the other side of the line, before they take the bait away from the hooks.
Bluefin Tuna fishing in Sardinia, as well as the fishing in Sicily, is possible all around the island, taking into consideration the specific seasonal advice. The Bluefin Tuna fishing in Sardina may slightly change their routes from a year to another. The Bluefin Tuna fishing seasonality follows the rules for the Mediterranean channel and the Tyrrhenian Sea, going from May to October.
This fishing technique is suggested for guests who are looking for a big fish who really want a limit-experience! I minimum physical preparation is suggested to fight correctly a Bluefin Tuna. This fishing in fact involves legs, biceps and back muscles, more than any other fishing practice.
Off Shore surface trolling (Big Game fishing)
This is one of the most famous fishing techniques in the world. It consists of trolling at a certain speed, artificial and natural baits sometimes, using multiple fishing rods. Sometimes, outriggers are necessary to place the fishing lines further from the side of the boat and employ more rods.
Target species are Albacore Tuna, Mediterranean spearfish, and less frequently Mahi Mahi and Bluefin Tuna.
Guests will take part in the setting of the fishing rods and lines, and once the baits are swimming, waiting until the fish strike. With this technique, the boat never stops navigating and this may help guests suffering seasickness. When the strike arrives, hooked fish are usually good fighters, and an adrenaline fight is guaranteed.
Other techniques possible when fishing in Sardina are inshore surface trolling, bottom fishing, and squid fishing. Octopus barehanded fishing can be also an option in Sardinia. Those techniques can be a good option for anglers who wants to target smaller fish, but keeping an intensive level of activity aboard!
