Night fishing - saddled seabream

Saddled sea bream (oblada melanura), very fast swimmer. Although there are underdeveloped teeth and small mouth, a major predator and belongs to the very predatory fish. Grows up to 30 cm (11.8 inch) in lenght and 0.60 kg (1.32 pounds) of weight. Is most often found at depths between 5 and 20 meters (16-64 feet) although we can find at depths up to 70 meters (229 feet). Usually retains the bottom half, between the surface and bottom. Saddled sea bream does not like unclean sea, so it will not be found in polluted ports and harbours. Its meat is tasty.
Best fishing begins at dusk, when the moon is full, and with active alluring.
OK lets start. The fishing position come when dusk begins, and in the sky we can see moon in all its splendour. fishing position we choose the cape of some of the island towards the open sea. Anchor at a depth of about 7 meters (22 feet). It is desirable that the current pushing the boat towards to open sea. then we begin to allure. Ground bait usually prepared from old bread, cheese, flour and fish parts, or only the simplest of old bread. It is essential to well mixed and chop into dust, because we do not want to feed the fish, but the only scent to attract. when we trow ground bait most preferably in the sea looks like a cloud. Bait is made from the same material as we do ground bait. In a very short period of time should occur a flock of hungry saddled sea bream from the deep attracted by the smell of ground bait. On the surface should hear the squelch of a fish, it's a sign that we to descend fishing line with hooks into the sea. Preferably strong current. If we hit well all aspects of fishing, fishing should be plentiful. When fishing saddled sea bream no tactics, as soon as fish is caught it needs to be as fast as possible to extract the boat, because caught saddled sea bream are very erratically and thus provides a warning to other fish from flocks that something is wrong, and within immediately a whole flock disperse. Also when we brought the fish to the boat and threw her into the boat, needs to be immediately put to death. Because her strong throwing board makes the rest of the flock to escape. Saddled sea bream is very cautious and fearful of sounds. Solution for this problem is simple. We take the cloth bag ( the bigger is better) and store it in the fish. Cloth bag will solve another problem, and that is the one that caught saddled sea bream throws scales all over the boat. The scales when it atheres, can be removed only by grinding.
Fishing tackle is a simple, on the line thickness not ticker than 0.30, put through swivels leader not ticker than 0.25 mm and hook size appropriate prey. Keep in mind that saddled sea bream has a small mouth. we can put two hooks so-called whiskers system, and without any procrastination.

We release the line to where we saw ( don't forget that we fishing under the full moon) and hear that appeared fish. Very soon should be followed by a snap.
When the currents weaken it would be desirable insert the float in the system. Because incarnates lower current, and after short time system without float returns back.

To more night falls (especially in summer) so the upper current was becoming weaker. Than usually saddled sea bream bit stops feeding. When completely ceases to bite, it is a time to catch other nocturnal fish. Have fun...
