Fishing Techniques

Fishing, an ancient and intriguing art, is one of the most popular outdoor activities, both for relaxation and for the challenge it provides. Over time, various fishing techniques have emerged, each with their own distinctive characteristics and particular needs. This article aims to explore a range of techniques, starting from the basic ones, ideal for beginners, to more complex procedures that test the skills of veterans. In parallel, I will offer practical advice to constantly improve your...

If we were to think about the most important innovations in fishing in recent years, certainly the trout area (or trout area, if you prefer) would have a front row seat among the techniques that have changed the concept of trout fishing in lakes.

The arrival of spring marks a general revival of sea fishing activities. Mullets, breams and, above all, salps, come out of hibernation and start living at full capacity again, populating the Italian reefs, week after week.

In sea fishing, over the last twenty years, we have witnessed a progressive increase in fishermen using the Bolognese rod, the undisputed queen of ports and reefs. Parallel to this phenomenon, mainly due to the effectiveness of this technique and the apparent simplicity, there has been a decrease in fixed rod fishermen. This is why we often read that the Bolognese rod has supplanted its historic rival, the fixed rod. The saying states that between two litigants, the third enjoys... And indeed...

Bolognese fishing at sea is a technique that knows no boundaries of application. It can be practiced from the cliff, in the port, from the beach, in the canal mouth, so it is a specialty that we could define as "multitasking". In addition to boasting a versatility of use in various environmental conditions, fishing with the Bolognese can offer catching opportunities for multiple species such as sea bass, sea bream, mullet, boghe, salps and, why not, bream.

Autumn, the first cold weather, trout in the pond. It would seem like a cliché or perhaps taken from a fishing book. In reality it is a simple consequence of the meteorological change taking place in October, the month in which we enter the heart of autumn. With the closure of the streams, the decrease in the hours of light and the arrival of the first disturbances from the north, which bring cold and rain, all that remains is to leave the rivers and lakes to concentrate the efforts on the...

We are in the midst of summer, of great heat, of long sunny days. The sea water has a warmer temperature and the typical reef prey has resumed its activity. Fish tend to feed, so the appetite and predatory instinct are not lacking. However, the conditions of abnormal heat, the absence of winds and storms and high pressure tend to make fishing for specimens weighing more than a kilo complex, sometimes almost impossible. And it is precisely in this context that the fisherman will have to use...

Pike fishing is one of the fishing techniques most appreciated by fishing enthusiasts, both for the challenge it represents and for the quality of the fish that can be caught. The pike is an aggressive predatory fish , which can be fished in various inland waters, such as lakes, rivers, river mouths and canals. The fishing technique for pike is different from that for other fish, requiring the use of a variety of appropriate fishing tackle to catch it.

At school they have always taught that "the big fish eat the little fish". This is a concept taken from Darwin's evolutionary theories, which can certainly be applied to the discipline of sport fishing. There is one technique, in particular, that puts this theory into practice and that is spinning, both in the freshwater and sea variants.

Bolentino fishing is an extremely popular fishing technique in Italy. It is a dynamic technique that can be practiced at sea from a boat or even from the coast. This technique involves the use of artificial or natural bait and different materials to build our lines. In this article we will see which materials are most suitable for practicing this technique and which are the most used techniques. Furthermore, we will also see which are the best places to practice this technique.

The arrival of the autumn cold brings about several changes in the life cycle of fish. Prey such as carp, which live in lakes and carp fisheries throughout Italy, experience an increase in appetite before entering hibernation. This is an absolutely normal phenomenon, due to the fact that these fish feel the need to store food and nutrients in quantity, before slowing down their metabolism with the cooling of the water. This happens everywhere, both in natural lakes and in small bodies of...

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.
