The secret of squid fishing uncovered at Club Nàutic Portitxol

The Club Nàutic Portitxol (CNP) has hosted this weekend a new event about recreational fishing, showing once again their bet on this passionate activity by many of the members.

Organized with collaboration of the Bazar las Palmeras, it was a talk given by one of the icons of cephalopod fishing and Marketing Director of Shimano, Joseba Mikel Ruiz del Cano, who shared his more than 25 years of experience in this modality, both from the coast and on a boat.

The event, which was attended by more than 70 people, took place in the members' lounge of the Club Náutic Portitxol and consisted of a talk focused on squid fishing. First of all, there was a presentation of products, equipment and accessories, followed by an explanation of different fishing techniques.

During the talk, the history of ‘eging’, a popular technique for fishing cephalopods from the shore, was discussed. The behavioral patterns of squid and cuttlefish were also unraveled and all the new products and materials developed by the Japanese company Shimano, a specialist in the field, were shown.

"It has been an exciting day of learning and fellowship around the world of cephalopods", in the words of Toni Fiol, manager of Bazar Las Palmeras, who thanked the CNP "for supporting such interesting events for the evolution of fishermen".
