Very enjoyable, great footage of the leaping fish too.

Great video! Nothing beats fishing the beach while on holiday😊

Dude I love your setups, those rods are sick !

That was excellent. Sort of stuff I'd love to do. Good fun and you never quite know what's going to have a go!

Definitely worth it, especially if you can get a nice, quality ‘tele’ rod which you can fit into your cabin bag . Thanks for watching, tight lines👍🏻

Cracking video buddy. That’s the type of fishing I would love to do. Going abroad on holiday and doing some Lure fishing … them takes we’re absolutely savage And then fish go like stink . Lovely sound of the reel screaming. Well hope the fish tasted nice and enjoy your trip 😁🎣👍🏽

That Nice fish you caught at the end is a blue runner or better called Carango Mediterranean…very common in the southern part of the Mediterranean….they are an invasive species came from Red Sea thru the Suez Canal and have colonized the southern part of the Med. Congrats , nice size !

​@@compactangler Hi Mate quick report..Tried all the large top water lures and small plugs . Sand eel surf-walkers , poppers, gravity minnows etc at sunrise a few mornings for no joy. I had some success with micro jigheads and isome -small bream ,rainbow wrasse, some other wrasse things and a lovely weaver that gave me a sore hand for a day LOL. Then on the last day as the sun was coming up I tried an old metal savage gear surf seeker and bang first cast a lovely Dorado . Not sure of the weight but around 3 ft long absolutely delighted . Pity I cant post photos on here. Regards Graham.

@@grahamallen1866 Hey Graham, thanks for the update and congrats for the Dorado, must have been a good fight! That’s the the thing, when fishing abroad, it takes time to learn the place, where to go, at what time, what lure/jig to use. Luckily you ended up with a nice fish 🐟 Well done!

Enjoyed while watching. I liked combining two cameras, it had artistic effect :😊. Do you use two gopros? I will definitely swap my treble hooks with singles, as I can get most of my ryukis lures by being afraid to get stuck on the sea bottom. You got really nice fishes in the shallow!

@compactangler

Thank you Milan, appreciate it👍 Actually the other camera was my iPhone. In the first two days of fishing I had to dive in a couple of times to get my lures back😥so yes, definitely swap out the trebles for single hooks. Good luck and tight lines 🎣

I’ve just been to Kefalonia for two weeks only had success on the float and a little fiish black minnow caught one little painted comber but not on any bigger lures sadly

Sometimes fish just don’t want to bite. Better luck next time🤞

Brilliant 👍. I'm heading to pefkos later in July and taking some travel rods and my Shimano OC 8000s. Is it better to lure fish from the beach? Or does bait fishing work as good please? Any tips would be greatly appreciated please as I'm generally a fresh water/lake angler

@compactangler

I think given the right circumstances both work well. If you want to fish with baits, make sure you have access to deep water…bait fishing will work better. Personally I like lure fishing more, so that’s my preference. Have a great trip and tight lines!

Hey matey, im off to Corfu next week. Gonna take my beach caster and a selection of dennett lures 28g. What times of the day were you fishing? Cheers!

@compactangler

Жыл бұрын

Hi there, best time would be either just before dawn or in the evenings, that’s when the predator species are mostly hunting. I’m not familiar with denett lures, but they look like sinking jigs which will be doing great in deeper water. I had great success with blue/pink colour jigs at dawn and have caught a few nice bonitos. Good luck🤞

Great stuff, could I ask what single hooks did you use on the lures please & size . Will be fishing in Rhodes in the summer.

Can’t remember, but I usually have about 80cm or an arms’ length. I’m trying to choose the same breaking strain as my main line or less, reason being that if I get snagged I can retrieve most of my main line. Hope this helps👍Good luck!

Hi Tony, thanks for commenting. As far as I know, you don’t need a license in Greece for sea fishing (just like in the UK)…so far. Although, I can’t tell you about any size or species regulations if any. The place I fished was a quiet secluded (nudist) beach, with not many people around that early anyway. You might want to check with locals if you are going to fish somewhere busy, like a marina or similar, but regarding a license…you’re good👍

How did you tie your leader to mainline ? Knot or swivel link
