Ciao. Non dove eravate, dove ero, la fotocamera è appoggiata a terra. Zona Argentario. Hai ragione sulla difficoltà di rilascio e sul boga ma da solo tre metri alto sull'acqua, ho cercato di fare del mio meglio per farci scappare il filmatino. Ne è valsa la pena, il pesce è ripartito meravigliosamente bene. Di quelli che si vedono catturare converrai che è ancora raro che qualcuno torni in acqua...

What's the name of the song in the background to the video?

nice vid mate, im going to rhodes greece in june + im hoping to catch some nice size fish like the one in this vid, have you ever fished in rhodes?? is you have, have you got any tip's for me ??

[medflyfish]

Not been threre but I'm sure it can be a good place. Dolphifish need deep water and have a season starting with smaller fish somewhere in late summer and ending with the larger in november or december depending on the weather.

With some luck, earlier in the summer it's possible to encounter some of the rare large adult specimen weighting up to 25 kg!

In June from the shore you can have better chances for barracuda or bluefish and bass, of course.

Tight lines!

thanks, what strength line do you think i will need? ive got 12lb Ultima Seastrike XT All Purpose Beach and Boat Line, do you think that is strong enough for the sort of size fish i mite catch?? i ask because ive never fished in the med or off the rock's so i dont know what to expect...

[medflyfish]

Yes 12 lbs can do well. Usually 0.25 and 0.30 mm nylon mono cover most situations.

Ciao sono della Toscana, pesco anche io a mosca in mare, ma dove eravate?

Comunque a sollevarlo così con il Boga il pesce si danneggia molto.

[giantbluemarlin]

What weight rod? I've got a 10Wt. Should be about right. Could probably use an 8wt at a push.

Shooting head?

Everyone knows you only catch crabs in Ibiza!

Seriously though, there's lots of good stuff to catch, you can also catch AIDS, herpes, thrush, gonorrhea, syphilis, warts, scabies, hepatitis, necrotizing fasciitis...and you can do it easily on whatever tackle you use down there. Lol.
