Hey all
I am new to fishing in sicily, I was looking for some good spots, good bait to use, and what is bighting?
@BILLY81: Sorry to disapoint you, but we are also new to fishing in Sicily. Our forum is based on Maltese (Malta) fishing activities.
do you know of any that are based out of sicily
well maybe some of the things that work up there will also work here in sicily. I just need some info on bait and such if any one can help
regarding bait the same rule for mostly everywhere the fresher the better I would suggest visit some local anglers shop and ask the locals, no one knows better than them about what is best for this time of the year. So good luck and tight lines.
thank you fisheye, I have tryed a few small shops but it is hard to speek to them as i do not speek italion and they do not know english, i have been useing shrimp and cut fish but noth othere then eels

What kind of bait are you looking for?
If its small sardines then Sicily is the place to be. They call it Sarda there...and its widely used as live bait. I would consult the locals for some good spots.
If you are fishing in ports try simple white bread mush it with few drops of water until you have a sort of pastry or else go to a local anglers shop and ask for pastella great for mullet. Fresh squid is always good for bottom fishing cut it in tiny stripes and hook it as I told you above the fresher the better. When we fish in ports normally we use light tackle 0.20 mm main and 0.16 for the hook length.
thanks guys i am going out in the morning and will let you know how it goes
do you fish that on the bottom?

If I am fishing in ports or from shore yes I do. I use heavier tackle only if I am fishing from high grounds, cliffs or from a boat.
thank you all so much for the help
