Amazing Photos and Fishing = Nicola Zingarelli

I first met Nicola Zingarelli on an internet forum quite a few years ago. He is literally what I always wanted to be in this life: a sport fisherman, a guide, an outdoor writer and a very skilled photojournalist. His articles and photos are just stunning and I spend some time visiting his websites. He also owns a website dedicated to saltwater popping and jigging (caranx.net) which is quite popular on an international level.

What can I say more? He does what most of us would love to do for a living and with his photos and beautifully crafted words takes us to amazing fishing journeys and amazing places. 

In consider him an important figure in today's fishing industry.

Thanks Nicola for dedicating your time and effort to what we love most and  for sharing all these with us.

Viva Rockfishing!

Today I am sharing a great blog of my friend Sam from Spain. 
He lives in Minorca and spend most of his time fishing the beautiful Mediterrean sea with ultralight tackle. He loves "rockfishing" and if you check his blog you will understand why. 

Rock Fishing! Spain

The blog opens with a great phrase: ""En la pesca no se necesitan grandes peces para obtener grandes sensaciones" which roughly translates " In fishing you don't need a big fish in order to obtain big sensations". I think he is correct. Just check the fishes he catches with his ultralight Yamaga Blanks rod and 1000 size Shimano reel.  Small breams, rockfishes but sometimes very nice leerfishes and even dorados. All taken with the ultralight setup and lures such as small jigs, 4 cm minnows, 5 cm poppers, tiny softbaits and everything we can define as micro sized. Fishes that bend the ultralight rod to the limit but that offers amazing sensations! 
The pictures are also very nice. He adds some artistic filter and make them look great!
Very nice blog! rated A+

Rapala X-rap and a nice sized bream. I love Minorca!

A nice Dorado on a 1-8gr. rod!? Why not!

Surfacaster's Journal

Surfcaster's Journal is an internet digital magazine about lure fishing and fly fishing in the East Coat of the US. It has been around since 2010 with a total of 10 issues. It has many nice articles and pictures. It shows us the fishing made the "American" way, with big lures for big fishes like striped bass and bluefish. 

Worth giving it a look.

DUO Co. Ltd.

DUO, which means Designed by Ultimate Organizer is a famous lure maker based in Japan.
Besides offering tremendous quality lures (made in Japan, Nippon Quality) the company is very active in promoting their products beyond Japan. An active English website and some interesting promotion work on social network level (Facebook) is definitely helping us in knowing the brand better. As a marketer myself can't deny that their effort is quite brilliant. I will definitely write more about them in the future.

For now check their official website in English : DUO

A nice introduction to the company's values. Well written.

TETRA WORKS is the series of lures dedicated to the ultra light angler.
