Once again we are back to Cap d’Antibes…

Two weeks ago we came to this beautiful cape but I didn’t find the time for the usual report ..

maybe also because I didn’t catch anything ! J

But this time I got a lot … of cold !!!

Let’s start from the beginning …

The weekend doesn’t start in the right way because going to meet Andrea and Luca (my usual fellows) to go fishing with them ,

I get stocked in the high-way around Milan … 3 Km of classic traffic jam … that’s Milan ! The result is my delay of more than 1 hour.

We finally arrive in Sanremo where Andrea, as usual, offers his boat for the night.

Saturday begins with a wonderful weather and after a short travel we reach our goal: Cap d’Antibes. The sea is calm and the sun shining

and it seams to be in April or May more than in a cold day of this winter.

But the temperature of the water (10°-12°) reminds us that this is just an impression.

I’m the first one to enter in the water and I immediately go to “my place”, the wonderful spot where I already encountered some nice sea-bass .

I will not go into the details of my fishing day, because I didn’t see any sea-bass and if we exclude a couple of small octopus and some wrasse

I didn’t catch much.

In the mean time, something incredible was happening somewhere else ….

Luca the youngest of our group that started fishing only few months ago and that has more passion than the famous Dapiran, is

going to surprise everyone.

In one of his first waiting, at 6-7 meters, Luca noticed a silver shadow that suddenly changed direction towards him .. without

any hesitation Luca shot to the unexpected fish and passed it from the head to the tail. It was an amazing GILT-HEAD BREAM of 2.3-2.5 Kg

(see the picture). A real monster !!!!!

 

That’s not all because when I met him after 3 hours of “nothing” (for me) he had a nice scorpion fish on his spear . But listen how he got it ….

during a waiting at 7-8 meters, after 2 minutes, he noticed a small fin moving at 30 cm from his face . He moved back and shot to the

scorpion fish and the spear ended on the bottom hitting a nice octopus of 3 Kg (everything is filmed) !!!

No comment ! J

Luca will finish his day with another octopus and a big Squilla.

Andrea, on the other hand, caught two octopus and a nice murey of 2 Kg (also filmed).

This is the end of the first day with Luca that can’t believe to what happened.

We spend the night at the Formula 1 Hotel, a very cheap chain that offers rooms at low prices … and low services.

The dinner is what we need after 4 hours spent in the cold waters.

About Sunday there isn’t much to say … we wake up late and tired … but this cannot stop us and we go to other side

of the cape to fish. The result is : ZERO fish!

We come back to Milan happy for the nice experience and Luca finally could see the first results of his continuous efforts.

BRAVO Luca !!!

 

PS: after he got the GILT-HEAD BREAM, do you know what Luca said ? “Who am I? Luca Bardi ???” –

MARCO Bardi is one of the best Italian spear-fishers of all the times . J
