Night fishing - gilt poll

Her majesty - queen gilt poll (on the head between the eyes has a golden crown in the shape of a crescent moon) the best of the best. The most delicious flesh of all white fish (personal opinion), prepared in all possible ways.
Gilt poll (sparus aurata) grows to 0.60 meters (1.96 feet) and reaches a wight of 10 kg (22 pounds) can be found everywhere along the coast, usually at depths up the 10 meters (32 feet) and can go down and more than 50 meters (164 feet). Gilt poll is born as male, to sexual maturity achieved a weight of 0.50 kg (1.1 pound) and after the first spawning rest of his life carried out as female.
Gilt poll on virtually everything, from snails, crabs, cephalopods to shellfish, sea-urchins and even small sea cucumbers. Shellfish are her favourite food, his armour crushed without any problems with her strong jaws and several rows of plate- like teeth. So gilt poll can be found on shell farms which devastated and can cause large losses.
On one occasion while i was diving armed with spear gun, i had opportunity to see gilt poll crashing head in the sea-urchin??? Quite surprised I have continued to follow from a safe distance that breaks the sea urchin, which was succeeded after the second attempt, and catered his juicy meat. As soon as she became aware of my presence has become cautious and slowly began to move away. When I tried to follow her she escaped with lighting speed. Looks like gilt poll not bother spines of sea urchin, because we can find in her womb when she cleaned.
Getting dark, we anchored up, prepare fishing tackle and bait. Most often i fish them on piece of squid (the best on the head), and after that most of them fishing on fish fillets of fresh fish. Some would say I'm fishing gilt poll with this bait, others would say I'm fishing with that bait. It is best to fish gilt poll with bait that gilt poll used in particular area.
The accessories made of base thickens 0.40 mm on which the sliding lead and rubber bead over swivels connected with leader and hook size expected prey. Rubber bead placed between sliding lead and swivel. Putting it to prevent damaging the node(or burst) which is related basic string with swivel.

Accessories throw about 10 meters (32 feet) from boat, and than the other tool that we throw depending on current, and after that just wait. When string move rapidly in the sea it is sign for a quick and strong counter-attack. String can be move slowly towards the sea, depending on the direction of current, so we can caught fish and not be aware that is on the hook, It takes more often to control the tool. When you pull out gilt poll still only need to free the hook and put her in the bucket. Easier said than done, because it happens very often that gilt poll does not want to let the hook, tough not hook penetrated in the fish's mouth. You can feel how the hook is free and you can not remove it from her mouth.
To catch gilt poll most important thing is to be persistent and patient. It took me over twenty years to catch my first gilt poll on hook, now in every fishing catch at least one. With persistence comes experience, and patience always pays off. Have fun....
