Fishing

Tackle fishing at sea is often considered a specialty for agonists, for lovers of a past that is probably about to disappear. Yet, given the great potential it offers in environments such as reefs or outer harbor walls, it should gain much more popularity. However, something prevents it, even though years have passed since its introduction into the panorama of sea fishing. So, for completeness in the different disciplines that we cover on the Pescalccacca blog, today we talk about it with a...

Well yes, the reel was born before the fishing rod... or rather what can be considered the ancestor of the reel or rather a simple piece of wood with wire wrapped around it and it would seem that the Egyptians were the first to use this ploy for winding the fishing line, then among other things this system is still used by some tribes in different parts of the world.

Spring time, ledgering time. Freshwater ledgering fishing starts again at the end of March and the beginning of April. The beautiful days, the general awakening of nature and the end of the hibernation of carp and cyprinids, make this period one of the best of the year to undermine the typical holds of a technique originating in Great Britain.

The autumn months are among the most profitable times for sea fishing. Whether practiced from shore or from a boat, the sea has the best of itself to offer before winter arrives. Not only for the large quantity of fish still in activity, but above all for the entry into play of cephalopods (cuttlefish, squid, squid), typical November and December prey. And again, again for November and December, it is time for mackerel and horse mackerel, fishing from the boat despite the dropping...

The blowfly larva, better known as maggot or cagnotto, is one of the main baits for fishing and is suitable for attacking almost all fish present in our waters, both fresh and salty. Given the great demand from fishermen, it is produced artificially using meat waste (mainly poultry), there is also maggot produced using fish waste, but the latter has inferior characteristics compared to that produced with meat as it tends to sink with more effort.

The Bibi is a marine worm present in almost all parts of the world, it is part of the Sipunclidae family and there are over 300 species in total, in our seas alone there are at least ten different species

Sea fishing from the coast can be practiced from the shore from the rocks or from the piers from the ports or in the mouths of the rivers. While sea fishing by boat can be practiced with smaller or larger boats or with fishing kayaks.

Since the early 2000s, a particular fishing technique has developed in Italy aimed at catching a freshwater fish known not so much for its silent soul, but for the brute force it unleashes in combat. The sturgeon, the protagonist of today's article, was a fish that somewhat revolutionized the Italian sport fishing panorama.

Summer is approaching and with it also sea fishing. Many Italians, thanks to holidays in the summer, spend their free time saltwater fishing every year. It doesn't matter whether from the cliff or in the port, from the beach or from outside a pier. In summer we still go fishing and among the favorite techniques of every fisherman there is always room for a specialty that comes from England.

Monofilament is one of the essential elements of sport fishing. It is also called slime, thread, leader, terminal, but the substance does not change: it is that "something" that allows us to fish, that allows us to recover prey, on which we apply leads, floats, hooks, swivels and, with they, all the secrets of fishing.

Bottom fishing is a generalist discipline widely practiced in Italy, both in the Adriatic, Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas. It is the twin sister of its freshwater variant, which aims to capture grub fish, that is, fish that move on the bottom, such as sea bass, sea bream, sea bream, etc. instead of carp, tench, crucian carp, which happens in fresh waters. It must be carried out from the shore, therefore from the beach, from the cliffs, from the piers. Its primary objective is to present the bait...

Trout fishing in lakes, also called lake trout, is an entirely Italian technique. Born at the end of the 80s in northern Italy, where it was usual to fish for trout in former quarries transformed into lakes, it has consolidated itself as a favorite specialty for many fishermen in all regions of the peninsula. This is a discipline that unequivocally aims at catching rainbow trout in paid lakes, both of semi-natural and totally artificial origin, where adult fish material intended for fishing...
