Matej Skert

Member since June 2024 Rovinj, Croatia
Background
Hello everyone, I'm Matej, captain and owner of Violi fishing charter. I have been fishing since I was 4 years old, when I fell in love with this sport while going with my grandfather and father on freshwater fishing in the rivers and lakes of continental Croatia, where I lived for 17 years. 17 years ago, when I moved to Rovinj, I started to engage in sparefishing, which made fishing with a rod much easier for me because of the benefits of knowing the seabed in the areas where we fish. In the last 10 years of salt water fishing, I have devoted special attention to fishing techniques with spinning, egging techniques for cuttlefish and squid, and troling with live bait and artificial lures. I'm also a trained chef and I've been involved in cooking for most of my life. Besides the sea and fishing, it's another great passion and love. As far as cooking is concerned, of course fish has taken the main place and my professional passion has always been the preparation of fish and fish specialties. I spent many years of my youth working in various restaurants, from small local ones to those in 5-star hotels and fine dining kitchens. It is easy to imagine how interesting combinations and interpretations can be developed from these two areas of interest and passion, wouldn't one agree?
Techniques
Bottom fishing, ultra light fishing, vertical jigging, salt water spinning, popping, live bait trolling, trolling inshore and offshore, big game fishing
