TROLLING WITH LIVE FISHING OF THE DENTICE
Where does snapper live?
The snapper lives near the coast, with preference for rocky or sandy bottoms, rich in posidonia and at a depth that varies on average between 15 and 120 meters. (Depending on the season we will threaten it in summer, with warmer waters closer to the coast, in winter when the water temperature will be lower we should move deeper.)
Generally solitary, only when young it moves in banks and stops on soft and rich seaweed backdrops near rocks and expired.
What does snapper eat?
It feeds on molluscs, cephalopods and fish.
Being among the shrewd predators of our seas, I recommend:
- Possibly always live and fit bait (the bait running away, induces the attack of the fish)
- Prefer the squid they are greedy for (my favorite bait, although ... vary bait ...)
- Try to change bait often (both in summer and in winter) and direction of travel (current and counter current) the rod could start immediately
- Other excellent baits can be the bites, the saurians, very often also the looks turned out to be excellent baits
The reproduction takes place in spring (March-May), in this season, like most sparidae, during mating they gather in the so-called "rams", and it is easy to have more strikes, try in these moments not to be greedy and to always respect the sea and its environment.
