Today we follow the Tubertini team in the Tyrrhenian waters surrounding Ischia island for a special session in search of squid and flying squid at sunset.
Once the boat's engine has been turned on and the fish finder has been activated, the protagonists of this fishing session leave the coast to arrive on a schools of baitfish on which 3 rods are immediately dropped, attempting to fish on a drifting movement.
The technique chosen by the Tubertini experts is the one of Tataki, a modern fishing style of Japanese origin that consists in making sure that the fishing mounting reaches the bottom and then recover it according to a precise procedure that consists in the alternation of two main actions.
The ascent begins by shaking the rod from bottom to top in a vigorous way for a few seconds, with the aim of animating jigs and make them look like prey in difficulty. This movement is very attractive and pushes the squid to approach, but the real strength of the technique consists of stopping this movement completely after a few seconds. This will be the real trigger that will push the squid to attack the jig.
The fishing settings put in place are: a Yunkoro, a specific fishing rod dedicated to squid fishing, combined with Viral 5000 reel and multifiber Viral, flanked by a multifunctional fishing rod, perfect for various situations of fishing from the boat, whether bottom fishing or light drifting, the Astray STg 3 meters.
The great versatility of this incredibly performing instrument is also ensured by the AP Flex tips, which guarantee extreme sensitivity even when handling weights up to 150 grams. This rod is combined with a Venum 5000 spooled with braid Viral multicolor 0.14.
The Tataki mounting fishing requires the use of 4-5 jig mounted on the same line. The Tubertini experts have chosen the Seika Soft Squid 7.5 centimeters. Incredibly high performance jigs available in a wide range of colors to better adapt to any fishing situation.
Before sunset, squid hunt is not too satisfactory with very few catches and quite apathetic specimens, but the situation seems to be better on the third rod mounted with Sabiki of various models T-106, T-102 and Agone 107-A, made with fish skin, golden hooks and head with attractive bright color. Several mackerels and horse mackerel are pulled into the boat, precious booty for a trolling session in search of amberjacks in mid-water.
With the sun setting, it seems to resume the activity on the rods mounted with the jigs. To be successful among all are the famous and timeless red head and the new coloring with orange head and yellow tail to which the wonderful squids of the Tyrrhenian Sea with their beautiful colors cannot resist.
