Local fishing at the bays of Taormina

Dawn or dusk are the best times to appreciate Sicily. The smell of the sea air, the breeze, the red glow of the sun rising or setting on the horizon and the anticipation of knowing you may be about to catch one of the jewels of our beautiful waters. Local fishing gives you the chance to experience all of this with the help of a local fisherman who will reveal his secrets for a perfect catch. For the fishing trip you will embark on a local goiter led by a skilled professional fisherman who will take you inside the bays of Taormina for a duration of about 3 hours. The sites are all near coastal cliffs with depths between 15 and 30 meters. You can fish with a fishing rod or troll for bream, bass, garfish, squid or other small and medium sized fish.

TIPS: Once back on dry land, your catch can be cooked in a nearby restaurant where your friends can share your experience and appreciate your newfound skills.

Big game fishing

The big game fishing is aimed only at tuna, swordfish, imperial needlefish, lampuga, alalunga. In order to profitably practice this fishing technique it is sometimes necessary to move away many miles from the coast. The equipment consists of the use of reeds ranging from the “lightest” 8/12 pounds up to 50/80 pounds, chosen in proportion to the distance from the coast, the depth of the seabed and the prey that you want to undermine. Cruising far from the coast you can contemplate the majesty of Etna that dominates the landscape from any point and admire the black lava cliffs. On request you can taste the the fish you will have caught on board. Marine areas: according to the period of the year and the rules for fishing the sea stretches vary from Taormina to Brucoli (SR).
