Hi, my name is Michele and I live on the North
East of Italy in a small town situated on the Po riverside. Thanks
to this lucky location me, and a group of friends and neighbours,
have been able to fish our entire life and for the last ten years
or so for giant cats (Silurus Glanis).
I love this sport so much that I hope one day I
will be able to dedicate my whole time to it. I find it both relaxing,
as you are totally encircled by a beautiful , almost incontaminated
nature, great fun and an adrenalin booster...when you catch the
"big one".
My personal record includes a cat 236 cm long (but
the 250 cm cat won't be long!). I had to fight with it a few hours
from ground but, finally it came out of the water for a nice picture
with me and my mum.
I won't bore you describing right now my technique
or the tackle and baits I use, but I would be fairly happy to answer
any of your enquires through e-mail.
I do also remind all of you that Emilia Romagna
is a wonderful region full of good food, wine, and interesting places
to visit.
With cheap trans atlantic air fares now available
why don't you come over and give a cats a go while you enjoy a nice
vacation?
Perhaps we could also meet up and I will directly
show you what I've learned through years of experience and trips
with all kind of people.
My e-mail is: poggi.michele@libero.it
Please note:
This web site promotes the "CATCH and RELEASE" therefore
the pictures of catches do not represent fishes apparently dead
or in obvious painful condition.
