Fresh Split Fishing Reports

This trip was exactly the kind of experience we want to provide to our clients. Having a full day trip means that we can go far away from the coast and reach some of best fishing grounds that Adriatic sea can offer. By driving more than 90 nautical miles that day, we could call that some serious fishing expedition. Started early from Split, cruising around 30 kts we reached our fishing spots. During the day we tried a few different techniques trying to target John Dory’s and Red snappers. Kelvin and his friend were more interested into jigging, so we focused on that. We used soft silicone lures and traditional metal jigs. With more than 20 big fishes, we can say that fish activity was fantastic that day. Besides fishing, we had a nice time hanging out and sharing our fishing experiences. When we got back to Split, we didn’t leave them empty handed. John Dory’s are the most reputable species in fhe Adriatic seas and fheir wives agreed on that.

Sometimes winter in Croatia means having 22 degrees C and putting on sun protection. Exactly that happened, and we used 2 beautiful days to cast our hooks around Vis & Biševo island. This time we targeted John dory’s and red snappers using live baits and jigs. First day we focused on trolling with live squid and got few nice snappers, but unfortunately fish of the day straighten our hook. Happy but hungry, we got to Biševo where we had booked accommodation. We prepared a nice barbecue, enjoyed the sunset and tried few local vines. After good rest, next day we switched to jiging. Fish was very active in the morning and we got out 5 capital John Dory’s, and like sugar in the end, one big red snapper. During late afternoon the weather started changing so we decided it was time to go home. Tired but satisfied, we ended this trip with having some good fish in the coolbox and even better memories. Until next time, Ante
