Hi guys !

[Etruscan]

Hello everybody !
I joined the forum right now!
I' m from Bologna, Northern Italy.
Love spearfishing that I practice mostly in Northern Adriatica Sea...but 4-5 times every year I make a short or a longer trip somewhere-else, looking for good places for spearfishing... I usually go to South France, Corse, Croatia, Greece, and many places all over Italy. I also went for fishing to Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria,Tunisia, Turkey, Cabo Verde, Canarian Isles, Madagascar and so on... I love it....:inlove
I' m thinking now to my next summer holidays so maybe I' ll ask you some good advice in the next days !
Have a good time..
Alberto

Hi Alberto , welcome to db .

Ah, ah, ah....Not indeed... I think the origin is in the middle-age.. There was not a single "inventor" and ther is not a written recepy.. : the women just began doing it with the rests of the meat and vegetables eaten the day before.. So every time it was different...
By the way.. we NEVER eat this sauce with spaghetty (awfull !!!) but with lasagne , tortellini or tagliatelle...

Ok...here you are.. Just some of my last captures (it' s a long time I don' t go fishing..:waterwork)
Some sea basses caught in Northern Adriatic Sea (october 09) and a jack crevalle caught in Cabo Verde (november 09)..

 

[Salehthefish]

Nice catch there well done!!! pitte that you can not spearfish these days... Is that a jacket on top of your wetsuit? Nice gun did you make it?

It' s snowy here now and the water 6-7° C. No fish at all...... I think I can begin fishin' again not before April..:waterwork:waterwork
In the picture I wear a jacket with some weights for fishing in shallow water.. It also helps me loading the long gun without breaking the wetsuit...
The gun you see in the second picture is not self-made. It' s a "Eban" Idro 90 cm., an Italian brand... very good I think.. But normally I use carbon guns, C4 brand...

 

[foxfish]

The bass in your first pic look like a good size?

Yes, it was a very, very lucky day, indeed....
The basses were 4.7, 4.1 and 1.3 Kg. !:thankyou

I got only other two of that size, in the year...

 

[foxfish]

4.7kg is just over the magical (English) 10lb mark.
Many hundreds of us would love to spear the elusive 10lb bass!
The one in my pic weighed just 2oz short (60grms)!

I quite agree with you.. They are wonderfull fishes...
This is my record : 6.4 Kg., caught 2 years ago, in winter, Southern France...



And what' s the fishing situation in U.K.? We don' t know much about it..
Guernsey doesn' t look so bad...

Hi Salehthefish ! My fins are rather unconventional... It's a new project by C4. There are not simple footpockets but anatomic shoes that make a perfect and solid connection between the blade and the foot.
The fin is called "Mustang" and... changed my life, I must say..
I think, after two years I use them, I could'nt go back to a traditional fin... :inlove

 

[Salehthefish]

Oh thats good but could you wear them on shoes or those are socks?

gratzi for sharing info

 

[spaghetti]

They look like ordinary neoprene socks, Thefish. Here in the Upper Med we almost always wear socks under our fins, be it either for comfort or for thermic protection or for slipping lead plates as ankle weights into them. Spearos always find a reason for doing what they do!
