During one conversation about seabass
fishing with Stefano Pisu from Seaspin company, he mentioned that there will be
a seabass anglers meeting and competition in city of Grado in Italy, and that
he would be glad if I came there. That’s an invitation that no one could
refuse, so almost 5 months later I finally met Stefano in person on the
entrance of Tenuta Primero camping site. 4 of us came from Croatia, Danijel
from Predator fishing shop, my good friend Edo from Senj, Igor Virag known as
Cedevita, and of course, me – Cekin.
Unfortunately for us, the weather was
terrible. Long lasting winter and snowy water from nearby mountains was bad
news, fish were still In deep water, and shallow terrain of Laguna di Grado was
almost empty. But during the first day there was some action – Italian angler
Paolo Nane, who was on the boat with me, caught a beautiful seabass weighting
around 4kg on Duo Tide Minnow Slim, and my friend Edo had a nice seabass from
the shore on the entrance of the marina of Tenuta Primero, weighting around 2.5
kilos. He caught it with Trigger X softbait.
The
competition itself was a big fail because there was not a single strike, and
there were about 100 people fishing from their boats all over the lagoon. But
the meeting itself was great, we met a lot of cool people, and our Danijel
managed to win a first prize for the biggest fool of the year, because he fell
in a hole like a Hobbit. Although there was very little action
considering Seabass, we had a chance to see one of the best fishing terrains in
the whole Adriatic sea, and meet some of the best Seabass Anglers from Grado
and all around Italy, so it was definitely worth it! And I can’t wait to visit
Grado again!
