Details and advice by target species
For large pelagics (amberjacks, liche, barracuda, tuna), opt for larger, lively species such as mullet, bonito or squid, which are very attractive and stand up well to trolling.âeuros
As for the wolf, it prefers natural prey of moderate size, often oblades, sardines or mullets, particularly around estuaries or rocky areas.âeuros
For denti or pike-perch, small live fish (severeau, palomine, mackerel, oblade) are used depending on the depth and type of bottom.âeuros
Squid and cuttlefish, used live, attract a multitude of species, but they require good oxygenation because they are fragile.âeuros
Tips for selecting and preserving live animals
Always adapt the size of the fish to the target species (large fish for tuna or yellowtail, smaller fish for wolffish or barracuda).âeuros
Choose lively, healthy fish with a natural, dynamic swimming action.âeuros
Store them in a well-oxygenated tank or water at a stable temperature, and handle them with care.âeuros
Remember to prick the hook to preserve their mobility (often by the back or lips).âeuros
Application and techniques
Troll, anchor or drift, from shore or boat.âeuros
To maximise your catches, donâ??t hesitate to change the type of livebait you use depending on the results and the behaviour of the predators you encounter.âeuros
Always adapt the size of the fish to the predator's mouth: large fish for big predators, smaller fish for wolffish, pike-perch or sars. Regularly change your livebait or position according to conditions and results obtained.
These practices enable us to effectively target the vast majority of marine predators present in the Mediterranean, such as amberjack, cuttlefish, wolffish, denti, pike-perch, tassergal, barracuda and tuna.
