Micro-Fishing in CROATIA From the Rocks

[@eatsleepbreathefishing9632]

nice video! brings back memories of micro fishing in Split and Rovinj a few years back. Caught tons of painted combers with tiny Keitechs, Gulp worms and various grubs. Very nice country for fishing, and food and wine of course.

hi, if we talk about UL rock/shore fishing, in Croatia we have only one poisonous fish. We call her pauk (spider), but I think the English name is Greater Weever (Trachinus Draco)...btw, nice video...enjoy Croatia...

[@Pootuffy]

Hi! Thank you for letting me know! Great to get some good information from a local! I actually caught something that looked a lot like a greater weaver the other day over the sand! Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I'm definitely enjoying Croatia :))

​@@Pootuffyits not venomous but a sting paralyzes ur hand slitghtly nothing serious , its a male scorpion fish, they dont get very big

[@binebedjanic3350]

Well there are more venomous fish found in Croatia, like the brown scorpion fish he cought, the red scorpion fish, and the stargazer (Uranoscopus scaber)... but yes the pauk is by far the most dangerous one. Painted comber than you cought is completely harmless no venom no spines. Keep enyojing fishing but also stay safe

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

That two banded bream was amazing... Hope you get better soon.

[@Pootuffy]

Thanks Matt! Such a cool fish right!! Really similar to the bream we have in Australia! Feeling better already, still a bit chesty, but on the mend for sure :))

[@satriasuarjaya29]

I'm a micro lures enthusiast also, especially play with 2gr jighead and maximum 2 inch soft plastics Watching your video makes me so envy, never seeing such a great fishing spot like that Can't wait for your next fishing vids mate 🤙

[@Pootuffy]

Thank you so much! Micro fishing is so fun! People always think that its only fun to catch big fish, but there's such a big variety of smaller fish! Never know what you're going to catch. More videos coming out soon :))

[@JillLesic]

Very exciting to see you in a very different and beautiful location

[@Pootuffy]

Glad you enjoyed seeing a new location! Was a fun spot to fish, really pretty scenery for sure :))

[@maxburns4418]

love the video's would love to see more micro fishing

[@Pootuffy]

Well you're in luck! Plenty more to come :)) Next few videos will all be micro fishing!! Glad you enjoy the videos, appreciate it 😊

[@Azmiiiiiiiii]

Beautiful scenery and nice looking bream

[@Pootuffy]

It definitely was, such a great spot! Very similar to the bream back home in Australia!

Hi, idk if you will read this, but when you snag a line like you did in 7:09 , you can get it back easily without going in the water if you have a plastic water bottle with you. Basically what you do is, open the cap of a half filled bottle, wrap the line on to the threads of the bottle, do this as close as you can get to the snagged lure (but leave enough slack so that you can lift the bottle over your shoulder), screw the cap back down. Now, you have the water bottle attached to your line. One side of the line leading to your reel and the other side is the line leading to the snagged tackle and the water bottle in between. Hold the bottle with your dominant hand, hold the rod with your other hand, open the bail of the reel and throw the bottle towards the snagged tackle, aiming to go past it. You should throw it as far as you can. After the bottle lands in the water, start reeling the bottle back. It should also de-snag the tackle. Try throwing again at different angles until it de-snags. It will work most of the time.

[@Pootuffy]

Wow thank you! Sounds complicated but I'll give it a go next time I'm in Croatia! Will hopefully help me save some lures, but also stop me from snapping line off in the water! Thanks for watching :)

[@MailoSchumann]

in spain whe call the scorpion fish 'rascacio' and the other two first fishes 'cabrilla pintada'

[@Pootuffy]

Thats very interesting! Thank you for letting me know :)) I would love to fish in Spain some day!

[@Bro_gamer123]

First fish you caught is called Perga in croatia

[@Pootuffy]

interesting! Thank you for letting me know :)

[@Skech_GG]

Hi sorry for asking but what size jig head do you use for 2 inch grub? Thanks

[@Pootuffy]

I was using size 2 jig heads 1/8 ounce I believe it was! Size 1 or size 2 will work well for these 2 inch grubs. Make sure that you get size 1 or 2 and not 1/0 or 2/0, which is an easy mistake to make haha! Happy to help, hope you can get them and catch some good fish on them :)) Thanks for watching the video, hope you enjoyed it 😁

[@Skech_GG]

​@@Pootuffy Thanks for the reply

[@zbfishing]

Awesome vid as usual, what editing software do you use im interested in posting but im lost with the soft ware

[@Pootuffy]

Thank you so much, I use Final Cut Pro! It's quite expensive, but I've always been super into video editing so I got it for Christmas or something when I was like 14 haha. Hope you get around to it! Would be keen to see some content :)) All the best brother!

[@zbfishing]

@@Pootuffy thank you so much

[@noahloncar2346]

Where in Croatia did you fish?

[@Pootuffy]

Just around the islands, Korcula, Hvar etc! Where are you located?

[@rancorancic]

Im from croatia first fish name is perga and fish with two lines is fratar

[@Pootuffy]

That's really interesting! Nice to learn what they are called in Croatian 😊 Thank you for letting me know!

[@ivanivan9507]

Yes it was baby scorpion fish but it is not so mean if it stings you just heat spot with lighter

[@Pootuffy]

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know, I was not sure whether it was venomous or not! Will now know for next time!

[@sime9856]

The bream you caught in croatian we call it fratar

[@Pootuffy]

That is really cool! Thank you for letting me know :))

[@sime9856]

No problem and the painted comber you caught we call it pirka and it is not dangerous

[@vidbobanec8384]

There are a few fish species you need to be careful: greater weaver (sandy bottoms), moray eel... Don't get bit, congor eels also don't get bit, scorpion fish(rocky bottoms) tasres amazing, and a nother one idk how its called in English in Croatian its zvezdogled. Tasty but deadly... Sandy bottom too

[@Pootuffy]

Thank you for the advice! I am back in Australia now, but will hopefully be coming back to fish in Croatia again soon enough :)) In Australia we have zvezdogled, we call it stargazer fish! I will try to target some more species of fish next time I am there! All the best 💪

[@vidbobanec8384]

@@Pootuffy happy I could help a bit :-) sadly many fishermen get injured or end up loosing a limb or their life because they don't know what to be careful with... But it seems that you were careful with everything and that's what you are supposed to do. Good luck when you come back :-))

[@nevenadevcic1330]

Painted comber is not poisons but that third fish was scorpion fish

[@Pootuffy]

Thanks for letting me know! I had someone tell me when I was younger that a painted comber is dangerous, so I was worried a bit haha. Is it bad to be spined by a scorpion fish? I've been told by someone that it's like a bee sting

[@pirminkogleck4056]

catch some real Sargos ! that was a Baby ! the big ones are realy Muscular , quite strong

[@Pootuffy]

hahaha it most definitely was a baby! I'm back in Australia now, so have to catch Australian fish until I'm back in Croatia, hopefully next year! Still more videos from Croatia to come out though :))

[@pirminkogleck4056]

@@Pootuffy i recommend you to go to Malta instead ! especialy Gozo the tiny island beside malta, is much more beautiful than croatia and it has a lot marine diversity ( similiar species since its all mediterane) therwise i have heard Lebanon and israel are awesome spots for mediterane fishing an spearfishing
