  • 438 Days: An Extraordinary True Story of Survival at Sea

    08

    The incredible true survival story of one man’s record-breaking fourteen months lost at sea.

    On 17th November, 2012, Salvador Alvarenga left the coast of Mexico for a two-day fishing trip. A vicious storm killed his engine and the current dragged his boat out to sea. The storm picked up and carried him West, deeper into the heart of the Pacific Ocean. Alvarenga would not touch solid ground again for fourteen months. When he was washed ashore on January 30th, 2014, he had drifted over 9,000 miles.

    Three dozen cruise ships and container vessels passed nearby. Not one stopped for the stranded fisherman. He considered suicide on multiple occasions – including offering himself up to a pack of circling sharks. But Alvarenga developed a method of survival that kept his body and mind intact long enough for the Pacific Ocean to spit him up onto a remote palm-studded island. Crawling ashore, he was saved by a local couple living in their own private castaway paradise.

    Based on dozens of hours of interviews with Alvarenga and his colleagues, search and rescue officials, the medical team that saved his life and the remote islanders who nursed him back to normality, 438 Days by Jonathan Franklin is an epic tale of survival and one man’s incredible story of beating the ultimate odds.

  • Sea Spin Fishing: basics, techniques and strategies to improve

    The novelty in this new edition
    In the second edition of this guide, dedicated to sea lure fishing, new contents, changes and updates in almost all the chapters have been introduced, compared to the previous version.
    Thanks to the advice and feedback received from our readers, a lot of information and technical details have been added in order to expand knowledge on the latest innovation introduced by companies operating in the sport fishing field.
    Other issues, such as layout and graphics, have been improved, thus allowing an easier and more pleasant consultation.
    Many aspects have been explored, in order to provide new ideas for improvement even to those who are already familiar with this technique, always avoiding to complicate life for those who are recently approaching sea spinning.

    Finally, the QR codes were inserted. They are image format codes which, when taken with a smartphone, lead to video tutorials on the planetspin youtube channel. You only need to download a free “QR code reader” app and scan the image with your smartphone.

    In this manual, I collected a lot of pills and thrills. It is information arranged according to a very precise logic which is supposed to help having a clearer idea while approaching such a fascinating and, at times mysterious, fishing technique, but which attracts more and more fans.
    Nowadays, compared to a few years ago, when I also moved up through the world of sea spinning, it is not difficult to find information about this. Especially thanks to the spread of this technique, in recent years, many articles have been devoted to the subject in some magazines, but we can also find many videos and articles on the internet. However, what mostly led me to the creation of this guide is the need to contain so much information into a single piece.

    What are the right moments? What kind of equipment is necessary? How to choose the equipment that best suits our needs. How are the lures supposed to be used? How should the bait be moved? How to adjust the reel friction. And again: I can’t make good catches, where am I wrong? How should I choose the colors of the baits? And, finally: how can I identify a good place?
    To argue these and other questions, and not to create much confusion to those who are approaching this fishing technique, we will try to focus on some information, to simplify the growth path together. We shall learn to know and select the ideal silicone bait for the predators we want to undermine, the hooks and accessories, the triggers; we will talk about casting, retrieval and all the phases of our fishing action, until the setting of the hook and the long-awaited moments of catch. The right mix between theory and practice in fishing will help improve our technique and realize the so much sought catches.
