Saltwater as Blood

I remember, if it was yesterday, five large bluefin are loaded out in the port from Sète, Southern France from a boat - we are speechless! Two days later, we are on the sea and catch Mackerels and white tuna up to 6 kg. Actually we are primarily fresh water anglers and our dream goals are located North America …

It came different, we read US magazines and books, afterwards "Learning by Doing" and some training money – this or similarly along this way, the most beginners during the 70ties had to go. Today the entrance is no longer so stony, but who wants to enter more deeply the world of the sea fishing has to read US literature and magazines.

To fill out this gap and on urge of many friends and acquaintance, we began at the end of of 1999 to write some letters and small articles and essays around big game fishing.

To a book, we did not think at that time yet - a pleasant "tracing occupation between the exits" it was at first. But, finally a book came out.

Only to write about billfish, large tuna and sharks – the so-called "Big Game Fishing" – was not enough for us. The "daily bread" and/or the bycatch and inshore fishing became our second main-topic. Fly fishing with Streamer and fly rod we only touched, hope however, it is the entrance for interested people into this difficult variant of fishing.

Of course the fishing in the Mediterranean Sea was worth a chapter for us. Finally it is appropriate "before the entry door" and is for us Germans our dearest vacation child!
After the first examination, many beginners will ask themselves: "do I have to know as much, knots and tackle and so on ..., I want just want to exit at the sea and catch my dream-fish?

Dear reader, just imagine the situation that on your home waters another angler selects your place, install your equipment, fasten the fish and pass only then the rod to you …

Enjoy reading!
