What is tuna chumming?
Chumming involves continuously baiting the sea with pieces of sardine or squid, creating a trail that the current can extend for several miles. This trail attracts large predators, such as tuna, which follow it back to its source: our boat.
Once the fish locate the chumming point, the rods are already set and rigged with a larger bait, designed to be irresistible and trigger an attack. It’s a technique that combines patience, strategy, and knowledge of the behavior of large tuna.
⚓ The skipper will select the best spot according to the sea conditions so that you can fully enjoy the experience.

At Rumbo Salou, we promote responsible and sustainable fishing. Although some species can be legally kept, we encourage catch and release as the best option to protect the marine ecosystem and ensure the future of fishing in the Mediterranean.
Sport fishing is an activity subject to natural factors, so catches cannot be guaranteed. However, our skipper will use all available resources and expertise to provide the best possible experience.
