Locations Spinning

    possible near the spondaPersico caught in Lake Ogliastro then starts the choice of the place: so after a brief reconnaissance in the more accessible we have chosen a section of the lake from a pier of the dam and some submerged trees now dry, with the sun behind so that our shadow reflected on the lake is not visible, it was indeed covered by the shadow of the pylon. Choosing the workstation begins the ritual of preparation of sugar cane and especially of the choice bait. From an observation of life in the lake, we realize that the movement of small fish near the banks of attracting hungry black bass, in contrast, however, a slow stream of dust raised on the lake bottom, so it is advisable to fish with earthworms and other worms ground alive because the same could not be seen on the bottom. So the choice lies with the artificial floating and sinking seeds. It remains to choose which, being new to our area for this type of fishing there is nothing left to do but groped by casting and retrieving slow and sometimes sudden different artificial to test the capturing power.

   The catch in the morning are different, but all small because of the abundance of fish and because of their aggressiveness. Suddenly remembering the failures across the Alps and the subsequent purchase, I notice a different movement on the surface, probably a big perch in the hunt. Then I mount the ever changing bait and Martin, a teaspoon of 9 gr. red lead and silver plate with black stripes and a red flannel to cover the armature love. The flexibility of the artificial is in running surface or middle depths depending on the speed of recovery. The solution of the spoon I was recommended by the presence of the sun now high, which will boost the sparkle on the surface, and the dark bottom of the lake. They spend a few shots, maybe three and there was a violent attack just below the branches that had several times made it difficult to recover the bait. This time it's a bigger fish and after a few minutes of fighting and some jump out of the water landing net be here is a fine example of a perch of 500 gr. usual photos and new freedom!

   Even in this new experience we came out victorious on the first try, but we now expect new targets, we understood a lot more from this experience and next time we will be more aggressive in hunting and larger specimens. The next adventure.
