Ok, I like the joke. And honestly I do not think that techniques designed for the Mediterranean might apply as well in California or wherever else: different terrain, different fish, different techniques. Simple as that.
This thread was about Agguato, Aspetto and Pesca nel torbido, which are specific for the Mediterranean environment.
We mediterraneans don't have high kelp like in California, that's why we don't have a technique based on grabbing the kelp to stay motionless amidst the water column. And we don't have a name for it! I wouldn't call this "Aspetto": you'd better give an american name to this technique.
By the way: do you know the italian name for blue water hunting? It's called blue water fishing!
