Caught Some Catfish in Florence!

6 Hour Trip – Catfishing Florence2 adults

Alessandro exceeded all expectations from the beginning. He was very communicative from the day we booked the trip up to the date of the trip, making sure we knew what to expect and what to bring with us. He arranged everything for our fishing licenses too. He was there early on the day we went fishing, ready to go as soon as we arrived. It was clear that he was very thoughtful about our experience, as he brought chairs and waters/cokes for us. We caught ten catfish - including a Wels, which we were very excited about! - and there was a steady amount of action throughout the trip. Alessandro clearly knew what he was doing, and he was proactive in checking our baits to make sure we were always in the best possible position to get bites. He gave us clear instructions on how to hold the fish to avoid the spines, and then took some impressively high-quality photos with his camera. He told us he’d have the photos ready for us in a day or two, which already was quicker than we thought it would be; he then blew that out of the water by having the photos to us within 5 hours of the end of our excursion. He was also very friendly, even giving us a couple of recommendations for local restaurants. We’ll definitely find a way to fish with Alessandro again next time we’re in Florence!

    Worth it!

    6 Hour Trip – Catfishing Florence • 1 adult

    My 11yo son did the 6hr Catfish tour. It was fantastic! Alessandro is knowledgeable, prepared, and very patient! Great for adults and kids! He brought cold waters, all fishing gear, more than enough bait, chairs, and an umbrella. He was attentive and always helping when needed or asked. I highly recommend using Alessandro for any of your fishing in Florenece!

    Thanks for the kind words! The weather also played a big part, treating us to plenty of catches including some of a noteworthy size! I hope to see you all again someday🎣🔥

    we had a great time

    6 Hour Trip – Catfishing Florence • 2 adults • 1 child

    We had a great time with Alessandro. He is a nice guy, knowledgeable, and was well prepared with equipment, bait, water, umbrella, chairs, etc. Even though we didn't catch any fish, the view was spectacular and we were near a beach bar which was good for getting ice, cold drinks, and resting in the shade from time to time. It was a very hot day. If i were a fish, I woudnt bite either. There were some bites and we lost a couple, but overall the fish just wasn't biting. In any case though, it was a good experience and we will do it again if we are in Florence.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you for choosing me! Yeah, the hot weather didn't help. See you soon🎣🔥

    Wow, what an amazing day. perfect day.

    Trout fishing near Florence • 1 adult

    I had the most incredible day today with tour guide Alassandro. He took me two places I’ve never seen there were the most peaceful, quiet, beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Watching trout swim through the stream hearing the birds, singing, and the creek speaking to us was incredible. If you’re looking to book a trip in Florence Italy and want to spend a day in the scenic most beautiful areas of the mountains. Alassandro is your buide to book. you will not be disappointed.

    April fishing trip

    6 Hour Trip – Catfishing Florence • 2 adults

    We came from Hungary, and before the trip, the guide had already shared all the necessary information and helped us with the fishing license. We had the opportunity to fish for catfish in a very impressive location within Florence. We each fished with two rods and, fortunately, we had catches as well. Bait was also provided, and whenever we had any questions or needed assistance during fishing, Alessandro was very kind and helpful.

    Thank you so much🎣
