Fishing

Today, Njivice and Omišalj are well-known tourist destinations on Krk. However, the tradition of fishing is deeply woven into the history of these once small fishing settlements. Therefore, even today, various opportunities are offered here for fishing enthusiasts. Fishing with a hook from the shore or fishing from a boat are part of the sport fishing offer. Picturesque bays and rocky beaches around Njivica provide great places for fishing. Waiting for a catch in the early morning or late evening is recognized only by true fishing enthusiasts. Your heart will skip a beat when you catch an arbun, bream, sea bass or mullet on your hook, while hunting for squid and cuttlefish at night is a special experience.

If you want to engage in sea fishing during your vacation, you need a fishing license. Permits with a duration of 1, 3, 7 or 150 can be purchased today through the website of the Ministry of Agriculture https://ribarstvo.mps.hr/default.aspx?id=4010 or in authorized travel agencies. It is important to follow the rules and regulations in order to preserve the fish population and the natural ecosystem.

If you want to participate in one of the oldest and most important international big game fishing competitions on the Adriatic, then be part of the spectacle called BIG OM, which is traditionally held at the end of August. The waters of the Kvarner Bay are then occupied by numerous crews from all over the world, trying to show their fishing skills, knowledge and luck in hunting big fish. Do not miss this gathering of sports fishing enthusiasts, enjoy the combination of tradition, gastronomy and tourism!
