Today's fishing session takes place in a spot of rare beauty at dawn, which makes the day in the company of the Colmic team a multitude of breathtaking images and amazing catches, practicing one of the most popular techniques ever. We are talking about coastal bottom fishing, the technique of deep-sea fishing from the boat.
This special practice, which involves simple enthusiasts but also those who are approaching this world recently, can be summarized with the word "versatility". In the equipment, in the type of prey and in the size of the same, which we can also see from the video of today's catch.
The equipment used includes some of the best products of the Colmic brand, including the fantastic Sea Lion Superior rod, the Ermes reel and the Seaguar Secol fluorocarbon.
The above mentioned rod is the perfect representation of what is necessary in the technique of bottom fishing. A rod with an enviable lightness, perfect for spots of medium depth and the use of heavier weights. This rod, which gives the protagonist of the day a lot of prey, is available in different actions and weights that increase its versatility.
The winning combination, however, is with the Ermes reel, made by Colmic. Also for this product, in fact, it is important to be able to use it in fishing situations that can vary, from sea to inland waters, thanks to its extraordinary power.
The presence of Seaguar Secol fluorocarbon is what makes the difference in this type of technique. Designed by the Japanese company Seaguar, it boasts unparalleled invisibility, indispensable in a similar fishing situation. The high knot-tightness and naturalness of movement given to the bait are just two of the many precious characteristics of this product.
We can't help but deepen the choice of bait used by our protagonist for this fishing session. The dwarf bobtail are extremely easy to trigger and do not require any particular care. In fact, they do not have to be cleaned, beaten or cut, but they can be triggered whole and immediately put into fishing, thus ensuring a substantial amount of prey. This trigger is flanked by squid stripes, which once cleaned can be triggered simply on the hook.
The protagonist of our video takes a few minutes to explain in detail what kind of mounting he has chosen for today's session, for the equipment and baits used. His choice fell on two different rigs, proving how important it is to vary the fishing attitude in these situations.
The first rig has two snoods with two high hooks detached from the bottom in order to avoid schools of baitfish, then all the fish that could disturb the fishing action. The line used in this case is the Spray Leader with a diameter of 0.35 mm.
The second round, more subject to school of bait fish and which mounts the fish hook at about 10 cm from the lead, is the one used to find fish that may be on the bottom and for the snoods, about 80 cm long, was used the Seaguar Secol with a diameter ranging between 0.23 and 0.28 mm.
The preys of the day follow one another and are promptly released by our protagonist who, thanks to the underwater images, appreciates the magnificent colors and different sizes.
Gilthead sea breams, common sea bream and red porgy with increasingly pinkish shades attack the baits proposed and repay the choice of equipment and settings that once again do not disappoint and that conclude a day of coastal bottom fishing.
