Spearfishing in the kitchen: winter fish to catch and enjoy

Winter is one of the best and most relaxing times to be able to practice spearfishing. Provided that the climatic conditions are favourable, in fact, there will be many points available in which to dive and winter fish to catch and enjoy.

Winter spearfishing: a unique experience

In winter, as many underwater fishermen are well aware, the enemy to face will not be the low temperature, but the wind. The first thing to do therefore will be to evaluate winds and seas, choosing a day with a low wind force value. The perfect days are the sunny ones when, once out of the water, the sportsmen can enjoy the sun's rays for a few moments.

As far as clothing is concerned, the advice is to wear only the undersuit and trousers, leaving the jacket in the trunk and putting it on just before dive into the sea. The best garments, in these cases, are warm and insulating ones, such as fleece jackets. Do not forget also a cap, which can be used to protect the head as soon as the hood is removed move.

Winter spearfishing: the fish to catch and bring to the kitchen

Who practices spearfishing in winter which fish can he catch? During the winter season bream and sea bass they usually aggregate and reduce eating activities. In fact, they need to leave space in the abdominal cavity to reproduce. It is not only habits that change, but also behaviors. They become difficult to catch using the look technique, but are easier prey for fishing in the hole.

In particular, on days when the sea is not very rough, in the water it is possible to come across schools of bream or stupendous specimens of sea bass. In this period the sea changes, presenting a different aspect compared to the summer months, with less dense vegetation and rocks free from algae.

Precisely for this reason some species of fish, such as the brown grouper or the ductus, go down in depth, slowing down their metabolic cycles. While bonito and small tuna they continue to hunt regularly until spring arrives. And if an encounter with amberjack in the winter sea seems almost impossible, the sea bass remains one of the winter fish par excellence. A separate discussion can instead be made for the red snapper. Its presence is in fact linked to the area where underwater fishing is practiced. In winter, in fact, this fish does not completely disappear, but it could be sighted at medium depths or in little water, especially as regards large specimens.
