Fishing From The Beach In Greece, Something A Little Different... 

*I love it **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I’m using it for my 1.0 Crankbaits and small Jerkbait. Paired with my Assassin. Works great, feels great. Would definitely recommend this setup.*

Hey ,nice vid man. Some infos for the fish since you asked , their names in Greek language are 1st one is called Manali,size you cauge is the average. 2nd one is called Refuge cause is a foreing fish in our waters and came from suez canal, size you caught is the average,poisonous on the top and bottom fins (very lucky you didnt got stinged) gives quite strong pain but it goes away after 20-30 mins. 3rd one is called Salpa,size you caught is the top size that can grow , maybe 4-5 cm more Cheers

Great video Steve! I love ultra lite catch and release fishing for small fish, lots of fun. Always a bit easier to release though if you pinch your barbs! I fish the beaches of Maui, Hawaii with ultra lite tackle and its a blast! Be well and fish on! Nothing like fishing in your bathing suit! Mark in Oregon

Good video! A bit of fun fishing on holiday, better than sitting round the pool all day!

Great fishing! Gonna get fishing at Thasos this summer;)

Greetings from GREECE

Great vid mate, I fished magaluf last year using the same method and had the same issue with clever fish taking the bread off the hook. I went back to the hotel and got some mussels, they worked a treat and I ended up with some nice sea bream (only small) great fun in the sun

Great stuff Ian! Glad you caught a few, ah perhaps we should have tried different baits, will bare it in mind if we get another chance soon! :-) Fun fishing in the sun, you can't beat it!

Thanks, for the comment! :-) And glad you liked the video! Yeah I think all anglers have a lucky something!!!! Sonu baits sponsor the team I fish for, so we tend to use there bait etc!

You still managed to take your fishing hat on holiday mate! love it! haha

Hi mate, we are using a Shimano Exage travel rod, they make may various travel rods in take apart and telescopic, this particular model is a take apart model! They are pretty good quality.

pure beauty . Excellent video quality !

My son and I are going to KOS again this year August 2018. Exactly the same place you are in this video, Kefalos. Taking a tele-travel rod and small box of tackle like yourself, however I have decide to go a little further up to your right to the harbour. Really looking forward to it. I can't wait to see my lads face when he experiences his first catch

Jep, that's right ;) Well... for bait fishing(from shore, never used a boat) I mainly used size 1 to 0/2 hooks, just 50cm leader(~20'). On a regular bottom fishing rig, just a big weight, a pearl over the swirrel. Nothing special but sometimes I let the bait float a little over the ground! Hope I helped :)

great vid, nice to see something different.

We are on our last day of our hols in Paros and Antiparos. And I've learnt quite a lot in the 2 weeks me and my son have been fishing here. Namely the ten hooks on one line the locals used. Perhaps a bit barbaric as the barbed hooks get stuck everywhere in the fish but the locals are eating the fish not putting them back as we were. So we had a go. You can get these ten hook rigs in most fishing shops. One shop in Naousa and another in Parikia. I crushed all the barbs so I wasn't ripping the fish to pieces and it worked. We were pulling them safely and removing the hooks with ease and putting the fish back. All good fun. We also had a bit of success with one hook but need to be very patient. The fish just seemed to know. Bread is the best. Every bit I threw in they were on... But not my hook....very frustrating somedays. Nothing else worked, though we were told by a local if we go deeper they love shrimp and calamari but we never got the chance. Anyway I hope this helps a few of you. Have fun.

Haha, excellent stuff Dan, glad you may find the video useful! Thanks for taking the time to drop us a comment :-) Good luck on your trip to Spain!

We all have one don't worry! Nice vid, keep em coming dude. I can see you're sponsored by Sonubaits now too, unless I missed it in your older vids? If that's recent, congrats pal!

Wow! I guess we were lucky... :-/ Thanks for the information! We will have to remember for next time!

that kind of fishing is better two to three hours before sunset or just after sunrise , use smaller hook ( the straight ones) and you have to read the beach to choose the right place ... there are some videos on youtube how to choose the right spot when fishing on the sandy beach ... for the bait it's ok , you can use the dough as well (ad some freshwater to the bread to make a dough) but you have to mix bread and some dirt or sand plus fresh or canned sardines to attract fish before starting fishing.( half a hour before) to attract the bigger ones..

Sounds good :) I'm in summer on Lesvos for a week and will try to catch some if the toothie guys! Bluefish on target, never caught one :)

Thanks buddy! Thats really helpful As I said we general had no clue, other than for the Mullet! Thanks again, I know a few people have asked too! :-) Tight Lines.

Oh no probs :) I have to say: For this type of fishing I use 50-80Lbs Hardmono! At night even wire because of the many barraccuda witch often bite. It's not a fishery where you can use light leader and lines :)

Well then :D I saw them often even directly in the entry of bigger harbors! But I leke isolated areas more so I'll take a look if I can find something, thanks :)

No, the water was lovely and warm! Alot warmer than the old north sea!! haha! :-)

Yeah, they certainly don't look cheap like most of the travel ones I've been looking at...thanks for answering.

Hi can you tell us what is the name of second fish you caught

What rod are you using? I'm looking for a travel rod for when I go to Greece later this year.

Thanks for the comment TehFluxer! We weren't too sure if people would like it as its so different from everything else, but we thought we would upload it anyway! Something different and some fishy entertainment all the same :-)

Just returned from 2 weeks in Kos fishing with light telescopic rod and small and light gear ETC caught all the same species as yourself minus the mullet used bread paste first few times then ventured into Kos town and found A very helpful chap that ran A tackle shop just off the main seafront in Kos harbour were we bought some small ragworm and maggots as he suggested felt weird fishing with maggots in the sea but caught A few small fish the best bait by far was the ragworm though.! The second fish you caught I had the pleasure of being stung by the top spines and yeah I can confirm that it does hurt a lot and after speaking to a diver they day previous and him saying that there are some toxic fish there I was quite worried but the pain subsided after a few hours thank god. I would recommend fishing on the bottom with a double paternoster rig nothing special did find that the fish did sometimes bite through my 7lb line though so maybe up the size line next time.

Thanks for the information! I didnt have a clue what it was!!! Haha! :-)

We need more programs like this ,that are aimed at the holiday angler, the trouble now is that every fishing show on telly seems to show the presenter heading out to sea on a boat that costs more for a days fishing than we've paid for our holiday and there things that we've seen over,and over again on telly but don't actually teach us anything .To show what I mean ,take Spain for example ,did you know that you do need a licence for sea fishing even on the cliffs way out of the towns and a licence for the Canaries is not valid for the main land or if you want a licence for some parts of Spain you need to take out insurance as well as well,as wait for it be required to take a hunting exam ( no I'm not joking please take two minutes to check it out ) or the fines can be truly horrific, or the stupid amounts of money holiday companies now charge just for a small rod tube .So please if there are any telly people who see this can we please have more programmes likes this that actually teach the holiday angler on a budget ,with just what is in his suitcase some actual fishing advice.

I'm not too sure Nathan, I've never been! I would suggest looking on google as i'm sure there's lots of information on there about fishing etc Cheers

Αt the 8 minute mark you have caught what we call " Gemarn fish" they are pretty venomous.

im going to bulgaria soon do you know if fishing is any good there?

Hi Hissein,unfortunately I don't know! I'm not sure what it is!!! Haha! We did ask people to comment if they knew! All I know is that the last fish is a mullet! :-)

No problem ;) I'm in greece every two years because my gramps, he's greek. And obviously I'm an angler too so I know somethig about them :)

The spikey ones the locals call German fish. I caught last year 54 and a small grouper.

6:41 We call that fish "milla" in Tunisia , I remember I caught 4 of them with my brother in the beach of "Borj Cedria"

After many years I saw this video and I saw you visited us in Kos like tf 😂😂

Try some 4mm expander pellets on a size 16 barbless. Great fun which is what it's all about

Hello from beautiful greece

The thing is that there where much fishery in the aegeis sea arounf greece. So the fish population is in some places drastically smallert and the fishes are not easy to catch. But if you want to catch smaller tuna, barraccuda, bonitos and simillar species the best way is to use jigs witch you cast far out and jig them very fast back. Good too are little baitfish or occtopus fot bait. Heavy gear and bottom rigs. Good for Dentex!

What bait i should use to get that last fish? They dont eat worms ( i tried) they ignored the worm

hello, the first fish we call them in Egypt patata fish or sweet potato fish in English ,it's a red sea migrant that moved to the mideterenean sea when the suez canal was dug in 1798 , you catch them on dough, and you must watch for the float tiny drops in order to catch it, because this is how it feeds, it lives within the rocks and is a day fish only, the second one i think of the same kind, those fish have pretty colors and they vary in colors between the first and the second colorings

i think it's a Rabbitfish. In indonesia we call it Baronang, the meat taste really good. but be careful with the spines, it has poison, get stung and you will had a nasty pain for a day. :)

Haha! Of course its my lucky fishing hat, i'd be useless without it!!! Haha! ;-))

Steve I live in Los just saw this vid it's better at night in the harbour fishing between the boats with a pole about 1 inch above the bottom with a sardine paste you regularly get big mullet up to 1\2 kilo just thought I would pass it on

I'm off to Corfu this summer, and I'm wondering if there are there any laws that you would need to know about when fishing in Greece. Do you need a licence to fish from the shore, and are there any restrictions on where you can fish? Many thanks.

greetings from greece!!! 1st fish name is melanouri,2nd is petropsaro,3rd is salpa and 4th is kefalos!! all of these eating fried except last wich is more delicious in soup with potatoes,carrot,celery etc!!

Hi Ben, we are using Bread.

Hey, the second fish i think is Dusky spinefoot (Siganus luridus) .This specie of fish first appeared in Greece during the German occupation (at the '40s) so in greek is knows as ''German fish''. It's lessepsian immigrant that came to Meditteranean travelling due Suez .

fishing with bred in Greece Parga it's a good decision ?

Bread doesn't work like that at 04:00. First we make the crumble dough, add some feta cheese with a little water, not too loose and then we make small balls and put them on the hook tip!

I know these kind of fish very well, but i don,t go fishing for them, i choose better kind of fish. Where i come from the first one is called "trikhoun" its some kind of mackerel i think, u can catch it with dough, better with worms in big sizes, but the best i have tried is with chicken parts. The second one we call it "mwasta" its a species of what u pple call black porgy, n thank god it didn't hit u with it's upper fin coz it would have caused u lot of pain, u can easily catch this kind using dough or sea weed. Third one may get way bigger n has more meat on it, usually caught using worms. The last one lives in sea, n u can find it in rivers too, sometimes u can find it where boats gather because it likes the smell of oil, it gets really big, u can catch one using a lure, or cooked smelly dough.

The third one looks like a kantenteen Which is plentiful here in South Africa Will be in Santorini n June 2017 Will be keen to cast a line out Any luck on fly? Collin

Hi I'm going to zante in August , anyone got any knowledge of fishing around there from the beach and from a boat were prob going to hire , would love any tips

You are The Best Fischer Grecce beautiful

awsome

Not a grouper but a rock bream! There slime is slightly poisoning and hurts like a bee sting. Preddy awfull.. But there are also grouper but they don't like bread :)

Ok, so these are all the fish names because there have been many misconceptions 1. Derbio (some type of jack) 2. Marbled rabbitfish (eatable but with poisonous spikes) 3. Salema porgy 4. Some type of mullet Im greek myself, so i know the species' names, cheers

It is actually much easier to fish off a peer I caught around nearly 30 -40 Fish a day with a pole .

I come from Greece, We call the first fish Litsa the second German(because they first appeard when Germans came to Greece) the third one is called Sarpa The last one , we call it Kefalos

The third is a saupa saupa. It's hallucinogenic if eaten because it feeds on algae all day.

where's this place in greece

where in kos is that place?

Forget about using bread as hook bait. I have fished in the Greek Islands on holiday for years. Find some structure, harbour, rocks, jetty, anything like that and use sweetcorn or pieces of shrimp, sweetcorn size. So long as there is at least 3 feet of water, there will be plenty of fish. I use a 10 foot collapsible rod with a fixed spool reel loaded with 4 pound line and wide gape barbless 10s to 14s with a 3 pound hooklength, with a 2 to 3 bb waggler, feathers are jut as good as floats.My son in law and I generally get abput 20 in a couple of hours.Be very careful of the fish called "Germans" all their spines (all over their body) are toxic. A sting will be painful for 30 minutes but should wear off. These fish are apparently delicious when cooked but I have not tried them.

Hi the second fish name SAFI in MIDDLE EAST.

Does anyone know a place for fishing mullets at Paralia near Thessaloniki in Greece. Thank you, Love, Zoran from Serbia.

Be carefull, the second one is called "Germanos" by the local people and the sting is toxic and also if he bites you it will be painfull

Guys what did you expect to catch he's fishing in a beach. Greece has a rocky terrain. If you want large fish you have to dive or fish above rocks, or fish in open sea.

Go in the kefalonia

This looks really boring, if this was me, I would have gone home within an hour. I'm used to catching bigger fish, in the 1-30 lb range. I barely ever catch anything, but when I do, it's usually a fairly big. I live in florida, so I catch things like redfish, ladyfish and speckled trout. But the most common thing to catch, would probably be stingrays, which are boring to catch when they're small, but bigger ones run, and take line. I use pinfish, and elwy for bait which I catch using a 5 ft cast net. I miss fishing for carp in england, it so easy, you can catch a fish every 5 minutes on a good day. Over here you'll catch a fish once a week on a good month.

The fish Names In Albania are 1-Glic 2-I Dont'know 3-Sallp 4-Qefull The names are in Albanian Lenguage

cool vid

Коллеги-рыбаки, берите с собой опарыша ... это наилучшая замена хлебу.

watch for their spins,it;s very very painful

In response to the questions of the names to the fish caught : 1st is a Jack (Lichia Amia) 2nd is a Marbled Spinefoot (Siganus Rivulatus) 3rd is a Salpa (Boops Salpa) 4th as you recognized is the common mullet (Mugil Cephalus).

JAMOS !

Poseidon doesn't like you.

the fish from 8:00 is verry dangerous

The second fish are poisonous

move the camera for the action, stupido, always on that guy. pointless. "what a great day", haha

Wow just seeing this out of the box ru-vid.comUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.
