In winter, as the cold weather sets in, baitfish migrate to deeper water where the temperature remains constant. In fact, below the coast the water temperature has dropped drastically and it is no longer a suitable habitat. The predatory fish in turn follow the feed which now reaches depths ranging from 50 to 100 metres. It is not easy to find snapper and amberjack at 25-30 metres, and therefore I migrate south over a rocky bottom of 70 metres. It's a day with the sun and the calm sea, which will help me resist the air temperature which does not exceed 10°C. In the depth sounder I see that there is life on the bottom, large balls of fish are moving in the first 10 metres, and I decide to drop my bait. The absent current makes my maneuvers easier given the great depth. Here are the first ones eaten. The first horse mackerels and sarrani come to the surface. I had followed the fish on their winter migratory path and found them where I was looking for them! Soon they will return to the coast, with the arrival of spring the entire ecosystem comes back to life. In March the first tuna will also return, and they will find our bait in the water!

This morning I made a test with my new fly rod wychwood 9ft line 10 in the river Tevere. I just wanted to try because although we are in January there are 16 degrees and maybe this makes us understand that the climate has gone crazy ! Anyway this catfish found my streamer.

Today I went in the Tevere river and I take these two splendid barbs ! barbel fish is a real fighter ! I advise you to try it once, in spring even better.
