We spent 6 days, jumping between more then 2 islands, and fishing both from shore and from boats. Red Porgy, Dusky Grouper and Amberjack were the protagonists of our fighting. Jigging, live bait trolling and spinning the used techniques. This trip require minimum 3 days but it could include fishing in up to 3 islands. Adventure is an important part of the trip as some hot spots are not exactly "comfortable" to access :-D!! I organised everything to be ready to fish just after settled at the typical lodge.
At the end of the fishing trip, the volcano Etna was in activity too, so we went up for hike at sunset to enjoy this unique nature show!
