The captain does his best to increase our chances of catching fish. By moving locations, trying different baits, techniques, we ended up reaching the catch limit 3 hours before the end of the trip. The captain then arranged for the fish to be cooked for us in the local restaurant. It was one of the best fishing experiences I had.

My son and I went on a half-day fishing trip with Bruno. Bruno is a very experienced angler and besides that, also a very friendly and nice person. We had a lot of action, used different techniques and fished al lot of spots. We caught five different types of fish and have a memory for life!

Bruno is a professional and, more important, very passionate, angler. He fishes nearly everyday and everywhere in the world! It was an amazing day starting at sunrise. We started with catching some baitfish (needle fish) which already was fun to do. With his powerful boat we went to a hot spot for Mahi Mahi. Within 5’, the reel was shrieking with a good size fish! We caught in total 5 mahi mahi of which we landed 3 in just 2 hours! The next spot we tried to catch squid, which was more difficult. It was not yet the season for squid. Thanks to his relations on the sea, we got a few from a friend nearby. We tried for grouper and indeed got a massive bite within short! Unfortunately and due to inexperience with this type of fishing, I did not hook the fish properly and after a few massive runs, the line broke. Bitten by the teeth of the fish! I had an amazing day and experienced what a skilled guide in his home waters can do for you! If you want to catch good fish in sicily, go to Bruno!

I had a great morning fishing with Capt. Bruno. He has a solid boat and knows the local waters and fish movement patterns. He is respectful of the fish and nature, something I always appreciate. We tried for Grouper earlier in the trip but did not get any bites so switched bottom fishing. Catching Bream and Snapper on light line at depths of 60 meters is a lot of fun! We finished the morning trying for John Dorey and had a big one on but it broke a new hook! Ma che succede? Fishing with Capt. Bruno is like fishing with a friend. I enjoyed trading funny fishing stories with him! After the trip, he dropped off some of the fish I caught at Ristorante La Cambusa and had that for dinner tonight. It was superb!

I highly recommend him and the next time I return to Castellammare del Golfo, I’ll be sure to book another trip.

Bruno had great fishing equipment. Great rods and even had a depth finder. Caught a few pink snappers. It was a solid 6 hours out on the boat. Highly recommend Bruno to take you out fishing.
