Fabrizio Schirru of Tubertini Team takes us to the sea for an exciting light boat fishing session in search of bottom sea fish such as black sea bream, pagrus and dentex.
It starts from the port of Terralba, on the west coast of Sardinia, and crosses a navigable canal in the direction of Capo Frasca.
Once the anchor is thrown, the baiting based on pieces of sardine starts immediately and the equipment is prepared. One of the main goal of the day is to test the new Astray in fishing, a revisitation of the old model already present for several years in the Tubertini catalog.
Fabrizio holds a prototype of this wonderful rod specially made by Tubertini to undermine medium-sized fish to light drifting.
Ready for action is the new Icon 2018 reel and the Viral Multicolor wire, whose fundamental characteristics are the incredible resistance and the particularity of changing color every 20 meters, a great help for the fisherman in identifying the fishing depth.
Time to trigger a whole sardine on the 5180 hook from Tubertini, reinforce it with elastic thread and the line is already in the water to probe the fishing conditions and the height at which the fish to be caught are placed.
The first black sea bream, although not particularly large, falls into the trap of the sardine and once disgorged is immediately released into the water.
The position of the prey is clearly visible from the instrumentation: a shoal of fish is located right on the seabed, at a depth of 61 meters, and slightly more on the surface of the larger, slightly detached fish, most likely just those that are biting the line.
On the hook the sardine is replaced by the squid, and after showing the quick trigger, Fabrizio drops it in the water to see if it can give more large prey.
The squid, the top of the range F1 Drifting, the powerful Ap Power Yellow spinning reel with the soft Viral Multicolor, the rig made with Soflex fluorocarbon and the 5180 hook are promoted with flying colors and leave no way out to several examples of black sea bream nice size, which require the help of the landing net to be pulled out of the water.
Thus ends a beautiful day of boat fishing in Sardinia, the company of Tubertini and the valuable advice of its experts.
