This morning began like a fairy tale for any angler – the dream tuna was caught. It was not just a single amazing event, but a series of incredible adventures marking the opening of the season. We, in the company of loyal friends from VodolazCyprusFishing, got up before dawn and set off for fishing. At five in the morning, our team left the cozy Marina and headed into the open sea. The journey to the fishing spot took about an hour, of which 40 minutes we navigated through the waves to the cherished location.
The sun had just begun to rise over the horizon when we cast the new tackle. The fresh sea air was invigorating, and we eagerly awaited the first bites. About 10 minutes after starting to fish, one of the lines at two meters depth, equipped with a 100-gram sinker, came alive. The rod bent into a bow, the reel squealed, and our hearts raced. A bite! Working as a well-coordinated team, we began to reel in the tuna. It fought fiercely, taking about ten minutes to reel in, but in the end, victory was ours – the first trophy of the day was caught.
We barely had time to catch our breath when we decided to make another round in the boat. And then another miracle awaited us – a new bite. This time, a tuna about 10-12 kilograms was on the hook. The reeling was challenging, but our team worked as one. The joy of the catch was indescribable, as catching two such tunas in one morning is a real stroke of luck.
On the way back, the most amazing event of the day awaited us. The line came alive again, but this time the fish was not just big, it was gigantic. The reel spun with a whistle, the tuna did not give up. We battled with it for a long time, alternately reeling in and letting out the line, but ultimately it got away. The tackle remained intact, but the fish escaped. This was a true test, filling us with adrenaline and a sense of incredible adventure.
We continued fishing for a while longer, but it was getting hot. Around 10 in the morning, we decided to head home. We drank a cup of aromatic coffee, proudly cleaned the catch, making many videos and photos as memories. Then we enjoyed a real gastronomic delight – fresh sashimi from the caught tuna. Ahead of us lay the preparation of many interesting dishes from this noble catch.
This day will forever remain in our memory as the morning when the dream tuna was caught, and in fact – two. And even though one got away, it only added a special edge to our adventure and the desire to return to the sea again. The Tuna Season in Cyprus is officially open with VodolazCyprusFishing, and we are already looking forward to new feats.
