Fresh Fishing Reports from Italy

An amazing standard trip!
An amazing standard trip!
September 26, 2019
This late September was a successful one. Last fishing sessions went very good. Fish are there in good numbers and this promises a great Autumn-Winter season for fishing in Sicily. One of the techniques we particularly like in these waters, productive when practised in the right period and with correct bait, is live bait trolling. This technique could also be considered a Deep sea fishing in Sicily, as is usually take place at -40m or deeper. Target fish are usually Dentex, Amberjack and many species of grouper. Bluefin tuna or other big species can occasionally bite fishing with live bait trolling but in that case, you need to be very good! Fishing in October October and November are great months to find the right live bait, which is also a fun activity to do early in the morning if you don't mind about waking up early during your holiday in Sicily. It is anyway possible to skip this part and jump on the boat when the live baits are already in the live tank, a couple of hours sleeping later! :-D On the last fishing sessions, James first, Mandy and Sebastian after went fishing in Syracuse area with us this week. Apart from the good fishing visible on the pictures, we had really great moments aboard. Good weather and some interesting activities, after fishing, filled those perfect days. Extra activities on a fishing trip In many places of Sicily, some activities are possible after the deep sea fishing session or during a 3-day fishing trip. One of them is jumping in the water to catch an octopus with barehand. Barehanded Octopus fishing. This is a family knowledge, a bunch of skills about spotting and catching octopus in their shelters, passed from my father, that I try to teach to my guests. Barehanded octopus fishing takes place from 1m to 4m of waters, in the daylight. Snorkelling gear and wetsuits are always available. It is always possible to catch and release them. Another thing we add to our trips, when possible and in specific places, is preparing abord a special lunch, maybe with the caught fish. This is to fill up a complete experience that will drive you directly into the Mediterranean fishing and marine lifestyle. In definitive, thanks to our experienced team, made of different skills, we can proudly say that for this specific season, and target fish, we can deliver, the best fishing in Sicily as an experience to remember.

make sure to bring a cooler with Ice to bring the fish home with if you are there in the winter months because ice can be hard to find at the port

It's pretty self-explanatory. We stayed in Monterroso del Mar and took a 5 minute train to meet our captain near the boats. He was super easy to find and on time. It's worth it to dress appropriately (hats, cover ups, flip flops, sun screen). Other than that just enjoy the day at sea!

Watch the weather, which was unusual for May. The Harbor has a McDonalds in it, not the McDonalds further down the beach, and negotiate a price for the taxi before leaving the hotel. The people were VERY friendly and helpful, since we got a bit lost looking for the harbor, but got there eventually. Lots of sand beaches, and we used the WCs at the free beach. As noted, Capt. Rossi was good at his job and class act.
