Madeira Marlin - Big Game Fishing
Madeira offers some of the finest fishing grounds for Atlantic Blue Marlin. Fish close to and in excess of 1,000lbs are caught here more than anywhere else in the world.
Although you may not see the same numbers of marlin compared to other locations, the fish of your dreams is waiting just for you between May and October each year. Big Eye and Bluefin Tuna are also regularly caught with the average weight for Big Eye being around 100lbs. Wahoo up to 90lbs are not uncommon and make excellent sport on light tackle.

Another winter has now gone by and all of us are looking forward to another game fishing season.
This year the first schools of bigeye tuna showed up in the middle of March. Commercial boats were scoring some good catches and a couple of fish caught on rod and reel were of very good size. This promising start was sadly curtailed by some stormy Atlantic weather which brought on torrential rain and unfishable seas for most of the first three weeks of April, but conditions settled down toward the end of last week and are now looking very fishable.
