Always been travelling for fishing in Sicily with my father and grandfather from my childhood, after my architect degree decided to change life and jump into tourism and adventure trips to work with my passion for fishing and wild places of Sicily and some other hotspots around the world like Canary islands and Africa. Today I guide also wild and adventurous trips in Sicily. I'm also a fishing videomaker and reporter, Shimano Italy ambassador.

Celodnevni izlet - Ribolov na živi mamac • 4 adultsAndrea i Luca su bili fantastični, proveli smo neverovatno jutro sa njima! Dolazeći iz zemlje bez izlaza na more i naviknut na ribolov u slatkim vodama, ovo je za mene bilo neverovatno prvo iskustvo. Ulovili smo mediteransku barrakudu, iglicu, pilotsku ribu i još neke ribe. Samo biti na neverovatno plavom moru sa iskusnim vodičem bilo je čarobno. Veoma smo zahvalni Andrei što se toliko trudio da ulovimo ribu! Pića su bila ledeno hladna, grickalice su bile ukusne i atmosfera je bila vrhunska. Voleli bismo da se jednog dana vratimo i ulovimo plavoperajnog tunu.
Translated by AI:Response from CaptainHvala, Luiz! I mi vama hvala što ste došli i proveli vreme sa nama! Bilo nam je zadovoljstvo. Ribolov tog dana nije bio ništa posebno, ali drago mi je što ste uživali!! Džinovska iglica vašeg oca je retka pojava u našim vodama, odličan ulov! 😅
Fabian Maxwitat5.0Ceo dan pecanja plavoperajnog tune
Celodnevni ribolov Plavoperajne tuneNajbolje iskustvo mog odmora na Siciliji! Sreli smo Andreu i Lucu u luci i odatle krenuli na naš izlet u ribolov plavoperajnog tune. Najpre smo isplovili da uhvatimo mamce, što je već samo po sebi bilo neverovatno zabavno. Zatim smo otišli oko 11 milja na otvoreno more, okruženi samo vodom. Tamo smo pripremili opremu za tune, i već nakon kratkog vremena došlo je do akcije: borio sam se sa False Albacoreom i uspešno ga izvukao. Nešto kasnije imali smo još jedan zagriz, ovog puta tuna od preko 250 kg. Nakon intenzivne borbe od 45 minuta, nažalost smo je morali pustiti. Ipak, to iskustvo je bilo apsolutno impresivno. Kulisa je bila jednostavno neopisiva: sunce je polako zalazilo, delfini su skakali pored čamca – zaista magičan trenutak. Na kraju smo otišli u jednu uvalu da pecamo barrakude, uz predivan zalazak sunca. Andrea i Luca su neverovatno topli ljudi. Luca nam je na otvorenom moru pripremio ukusan obrok od svežih, lokalnih namirnica, a Andrea je bio potpuno posvećen ribolovu. Davao nam je dragocene savete, navijao uz svaki drill i pričao nam mnogo o regionu i ribarstvu. Ko traži autentično, posebno i nezaboravno iskustvo na Siciliji, kod Andree je na pravom mestu. Apsolutna preporuka!

Response from CaptainHvala, Fabiane! Bilo je zadovoljstvo ugostiti vas! Radujem se ponovnom susretu za još jedan odličan dan na moru!
Brett Andrew5.0Junski ribolovni izlet
Celodnevni ribolov Plavoperajne tuneNedavno sam proveo dva neverovatna dana u ribolovu iz Marzamemija na jugoistoku Sicilije sa kapetanom Andreasom i članom posade Lucom iz Sicily Fishing, u lovu na XL Plavoperajnog Tune, i to je bilo iskustvo koje nikada nećemo zaboraviti. Od trenutka kada smo stupili na brod, Andreasova strast prema ribolovu i Siciliji bila je očigledna. Njegovo poznavanje lokalnih voda, ribolovnih područja i same regije toliko je doprinelo putovanju. Uvek je bio spreman da podeli svoje znanje i nauči nas različitim tehnikama, čineći ovo ne samo uspešnom ribolovnom avanturom već i fantastičnim iskustvom učenja. Ribolov je bio izvanredan i fizički zahtjevan. Prvog dana smo ulovili i pustili procenjenog Plavoperajnog Tunu od 250–300 kg sa više od 2 sata borbe, a drugog dana smo uspešno ulovili i pustili još jednu veličanstvenu ribu od oko 100 kg. Snaga i veličina ovih riba bile su zaista nezaboravne. Obe ribe su uspešno puštene. Andrea koristi vrhunske Shimano mašinice i sicilijanske game štapove na blank osnovi! Ono što zaista izdvaja Sicily Fishing su ljudi. Andreas i Luca su se neiscrpno trudili da mi pruže najbolje moguće iskustvo, održavajući atmosferu opuštenom, prijatnom i punom smeha. Njihov profesionalizam, entuzijazam i iskrena ljubav prema onome što rade učinili su svaki trenutak na vodi nezaboravnim. Ribolov u novoj zemlji uvek je uzbudljiv, ali Sicily Fishing je pružio iskustvo koje je prevazišlo sva očekivanja. Ne samo da sam imao neverovatne uspehe na vodi, već smo naučili i nove tehnike, stekli dublje razumevanje sicilijanske ribolovne kulture i stvorili uspomene koje će trajati ceo život. Ako razmišljate o ribolovnom čarteru na Siciliji, ne tražite dalje od Sicily Fishing. Andreas i Luca pružaju iskustvo svetske klase, i ne mogu ih dovoljno preporučiti. Hvala vam obojici na nezaboravnoj avanturi — svakako ću se vratiti!

Ogromna zahvalnost Andrei i Luki za fantastično vreme i što su nam pomogli da ostvarimo naše snove. Zaista smo uživali u svakom trenutku i toplo preporučujemo ovo iskustvo!

An amazing standard trip!
sep 26, 2019 • Siracusa
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.

Morning session report - A big Jack and
sep 6, 2017 • Santa Maria
On our fishing expedition, sessions with fish chasing the baits and strikes are regular situations, especially during sunrise and sunset. This day didn't was an exception.
Once on the spot, after a short offroad drive, the crew started to observe and evaluate the best strategy to approach the place. The scenario was a promise for a good fishing day. The spot, in this case, consists of a shallow rocky shore with a flat, going in front of us several meters. This less usual environment creates some small waves and a breaking point right where the fight takes place. Extra difficulty. The selection of baits is a consequence, and topwater or subsurface fishing is the best way in a case like this, and for a well-known spot to our team.
In this case, we start fishing from different points and all anglers can comfortably cast simultaneously thanks to the big spaces available along the shore. After a couple of casts on a section of the spot, abundantly after the sunrise, is Carlo to wake up everybody, calling the "chasing fish" after that a big shape, followed him until the waves breaking point.
This is the classic situation when the next cast may result decisive to let the fish strike.
Under the guides close attention and with some useful real-time tips, after a few seconds and a dramatic explosion on the surface, Carlo is screaming "fiiish ooonnn"! Some energetic jerking to set the hook on the fish mouth and the rod is still bent to confirm the fish is hooked. No doubt about the opponent, it was a Horse Eye Trevally, unrivaled king of the inshore shallow waters.
A thrilling and from the not obvious result fighting starts. The fish runs laterally, in both directions trying to take the line on the rocks coming out from the shallow. Here is the game essence, no mistakes allowed. No space for indecisions. The equipment also plays an important role. The reel's drag, for example, have to be set in accordance with the possible situations, before the session start. This is due to contrast correctly the fish during its "runs".
Carlo, well prepaid and again with the support of the guiding team, with the right equipment manage to control almost all the fish moves. About 15min are sufficient to land the fish into a small pool to finally slow down the heart rate and honour the amazing fish with some good pictures.
A "Horse Eye trevally", worthy brother of the more famous Giant Trevally (or GT as he is called between the tropical anglers), is now in front of our happy faces, with all his majesty. A very good shot, a Caranx of over 100cm, that will later result the biggest fish of the day.
After the congratulations with Carlo, despite the fatigue visible in his face, the satisfaction was palpable in his eyes. Satisfaction to have caught one of the best fish of these waters.
Is was still early, then filled with adrenalin, the group follow fishing with not less interesting results. Many strikes and other species of jack of good size, arrived under our feet. Caranx are not the only species appreciating out baits; Groupers and big needlefish filled up the day.
Being this enough for the morning session, at around 10 am was the moment of a big breakfast to charge the battery, enjoy and talk about the biggest reward of the day: a beautiful fish caught on shallow water over a technique spot. After breakfast, we were already looking forward to the afternoon session.

Bluefin Tuna "old school" emotions
jul 21, 2017 • Siracusa
Bluefin Tuna passes every year along the coasts of Italy. Twice. Big fish coming from the Atlantic Ocean to complete their reproduction cycle, starts to run all along the Mediterranean to spawn from Spring to fall.
Some schools instead are resident in the Mediterranean Sea, living here year-round. This large presence of the species, set with no doubts, Italy as one of the locations with the best fishing for Bluefin Tuna in the Mediterranean Sea.
The Bluefin Tuna is considered a superb animal, superbly adapted for extreme swimming, extreme lasting, extreme diving, travelling, eating, growing compared to other fish.
The video (here is just the short 30 sec. version) is a tribute to this great fighter, taking the battle to the ultimate level! Unbelievable spooling, exhausting oppositions, long lasting fightings, a technical approach and preparation as shown in this short movie are always part of the bluefin tuna game fishing.
The footage highlights the emotions coming out from the epic fight, for the angler and the other people aboard. When the tuna arrives finally under the boat, showing his majesty, is always a general “WOOOWW”. Is also possible to see how the Crew guidance, concurrently helps the fisherman to correctly behave in order to take the fish under the boat, which is not an easy job! Apart from being a fishing trip or a fishing charter in Italy, we love to transmit knowledge about how to catch a bluefin tuna.
Technique and equipment
The technique is Drifting for Tuna, with both live and dead bait. The preparation is an important part of the fishing session, looking for live bait and preparing the dead ones to correctly drop on the current. Correct distances, bait presentation, equipment dimension, right spots and timing are just some of the local knowledge that plays a big role to reach the strikes.
In this specific case, fighting was done "Old school" on a fishing chair and using Shimano Tiagra 80lb reel and rod. A setup that can be considered “heavy” and old. While now we fish only with stand up setup, very light compared to the one in the video to give much more fun and less pressure on the anglers moves, employing the Shimano Talica 50lb and 25lb with the deep spool, together with lightweight harness gimbal (belt) like the black magic.
It worth also to mention that Bluefin tuna is also a historical fishery in the Mediterranean sea.
