Using a Trident to Catch Swordfish in Italy

We went fishing using Tridents to catch Swordfish in Messina, Italy, on the most unique boat I've ever fished on, the Feluca boat. This boat has the tallest sight fishing tower and the longest pulpit I've ever seen! The Feluca Boats are designed for one purpose: searching for Swordfish on the surface in the straights of Messina. During the day, Swordfish usually swim in depths below 1000ft, but in Messina, they swim on the surface. This ancient style of fishing in Messina has existed since the Roman Empire over 2,000 years ago.

The etymology of the word "Felouka" comes from the Arabic "El Foulke" which means the ark. Felouka is a diminutive of el foulke, meaning a small boat. Flouka is widely used in Algeria and Tunisia. Historical data demonstrate a very close influence of Arab culture and traditions in Sicily, Sardinia and southern Italy.

Would love to see you Josh fishing for some other species of fish in Mediterranean sea!

I recommend you also practice other types of fishing in the Strait of Messina for example trolling with live bait for tuna or trolling with artificial fish.
