As a serious follower, I must say this style of presentation is just way better! Focusing not only hooking the fish but also enjoying every aspect of it: Tasting incredible scenaries, running after goats, exhausting stamina while tracking and climbing and finally having the fish on the dinner table with the family... Keep up the work! Cheers...
Amazing video, Markos! I really like the new style. Much calmer and better representing the meaning of fishing. Thank you very much for sharing this with us 👍😊👍
caro amico questo è finora il piu' bel video che ho visto, arrivare sino a casa e condividere con la propria famiglia è la cosa piu' bella. Emozionante...piu' di cento pescate. Bravo campione
Great story, Markos! I may repeat other followers' notes (too many comments to read!) but I'd like to add that it's very nice when one can hear all natural sounds, with such soft and quiet music being the background. As a learner of Greek I really appreciate the subtitles, and I am sure that many of your compatriots also do. Thanks.
Γεια σου Μάρκο! Νόμιζα ότι είχα δει όλα σου τα βιντεάκια, αλλά έκανα λάθος. Μου είχε διαφύγει αυτό. Φανταστικό βίντεο! Το ευχαριστήθηκα όσο λίγα! Συγχαρητήρια 👏👏👏
Χίλια μπραβο φίλε!! Είσαι ευλογημένα φοβερός....!!! Να’σαι καλά & να απολαμβάνεις πάντα το S.J. και τις οικογενειακές στιγμές που ακολουθούν, είναι αυτό που αξίζει στην τελική!!!! 💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍
Δεν το είχα δει νωρίτερα λόγω προβλημάτων το καλοκαίρι, (ποτέ δεν είναι αργά βέβαια) , αλλά άξιζε και μόνο τα τελευταία 35 δευτερόλεπτα αν ανέβαζες! Να χαίρεσαι την οικογένεια και ο Θεός να σας έχει πάντα καλά στο ευλογημένο νησί αλλά και οπουδήποτε αλλού!
I just bought this rod (has the K guides the RG's models not being available at the moment). Cant wait to get to using it. Really enjoy your videos Markos, you seem like top bloke and fisherman. Where abouts are you fishing?
Υπέροχοι τόποι φοβερές εικόνες και ένας από τους λόγους που μου αρέσει το shore!! Γιατί σε αναγκάζει να εξερευνήσεις μέρη που για να πας πρέπει να είσαι και λίγο τρελός.. Μπράβο βρε Μάρκο!!!
Hello Markos, Very nice new approach to the videos! Really enjoyable! Looks you are using the new NL15 spool of SOM here. Could you please share if there is any significant difference with the older NL10 - what a positives it has and if there are any negatives at the new design and crafting? Do you feel any improvement of the casting distance and braid behaviour at the new lip design?
Thank you, Markos! Honestly said, I was read your review before to post the question here. So, I will consider there are not disadvantages at the new design found in comparison with the older one, so far.
Mάρκο φανταστικά βίντεο! Μπράβο! Να χαίρεσαι την οικογένεια σου! Από ποιό χωριό της Τήνου είσαι αν επιτρέπεται φίλε? Εχω παντρευτεί γυναίκα με καταγωγή απο την Ποταμιά και σχεδόν κάθε καλοκαίρι έρχομαι στο νησί!
Nice. I see you have some audience, mate! ;) Judging by the comments. I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago, looking for tips and tricks for fishing in Greece and I must say I learnt a lot from watching you fishing (I also read all the articles on your website). Hats off and many thanks! Just a suggestion, if I may: you could speak Greek and keep the subs in English, as it may be useful for those who want to learn some Greek and the message will get through to everyone, when it's very windy and the sound recording is hardly inteligible. ;) The new format is interesting and I'm sure it will get better as you go. Keep them coming! Cheers. PS: one question. I just bought a Cinnetic Crafty CRB4 270 MH Light Game (15-42g action) and I could not find any info related to the maximum line lbs. test to use with the rod, in order not to risk breaking it. It's not mentioned on the rod. I mailed the producer an no reply so far. I would go with Daiwa J-Braid X8 0,18mm/12 kg on a Okuma Azores-4000 reel. Do you think it's safe or I should be better off with the 0,16mm/9kg?! The drag on the reel is around 12,7kg, but I suppose I wouldn't crank it to the max. I'll be fishing mainly form the beaches or ports with poppers and minnows (110-175 mm/26-30g)) and probably do some micro jigging on the rocks (18-20g), as well, if I get the chance. Thank you very much for your time!
Well, initially I wanted to get the Cinergy Sea Bass 300, but it wouldn't have arrived in time before leaving to Greece, so I bought what I found to be in stock here in Bucharest. In terms of balance, I can say that when I hold the rod with the reel on, the tip has the tendency of going down, not up, but I would not find this combo terribly unbalanced. At least for now. I'll see how I will feel after a few hours of casting and retrieving. :-D But, related to the line strength and the rod resistance, do you think I'll be fine with 0,18mm or 0,16mm? Thank you.
Marius, Balance has nothing to do with a finger under a rod. It has to do with the hole concept. Azores is a very strong reel preferaby for heavy spinning and shore jigging. Actually it was made originaly for offshore fishing. Thus makes it work better with PE# 2.0 and higher while with smaller braid diametres it will make bird nests and poor line management. Balance is the rod and the reel to fit with harmony. And azores is simply too much for this rod. An okuma epixor 3000, a daiwa caldia 3000 could be far more better and balanced choices.
Ok Markos, I got your point and thanks for the suggestions. Well, right now this is what I'm stuck with and I've got to make it work somehow. I bought the reel, with the idea of pairing it with the Cinergy Sea Bass 300, but as it couldn't get here on time I got what rod I had available in the shop here. I hope I wouldn't stress the rod too much if I put a PE# 2.0 line. I could spool it with some 0,30 mono I have from Trabucco (T-Force Super Iso, 11,9kg) but, beside the fact that I will loose casting distance, I fear I'm stressing the rod, as well. But maybe not as much, considering that it's got some elasticity. Wich would probably affect the surface lures' manoeuvrability, as well. Thank you for your professional opinion. I realise I have a problem now and I have to solve it somehow. :)
Hi Markos, what do you look for when choosing a shore to jig from? Do you use any fish finder? Also, I have a holiday home in Evia and find the water very shallow. Are there any recommended spots to fish there? Keep up the vids! Thanks
I check Google Earth and navionics to get an idea, but sometimes they are very wrong. Now evia is a huge island. I'm sure you can find some deep spots near your house
Nice vid Marcos. End of the month i will go rockfishing in south of greece. Can you recomend wich side is the best for this kind of fishing,east,west or just south. Thnx and continu the nice vids.
Εξαιρετικη αυτη η νεα προσέγγιση Μαρκο. Κανει τον θεατη να ταυτιζεται περισσοτερο κ να βιωνει πιο εντονα την ολη εμπειρια! Μιας κ κανεις μονος σου τετοιες αποστασεις σε τοσο δυσβατες διαδρομες, θα σου προτεινα ισως να δοκιμασεις μια ελαφρια προστατευτικη θηκη για το καλαμι, που να την περνας με λουρι χιαστί πανω σου , ωστε κ να εχεις κ το αλλο σου χερι ελευθερο να στηριζεσαι καλυτερα, κ να προστατευσεις κ το καλαμι απο χτυπηματα κ πτωσεις. Πονεσε η καρδια μου οταν το ειδα που χτυπησε πανω στα βραχια. χαχα
Κοίτα. Στην πλάτη έχω ήδη σπάσει ένα Zenaq 96hh. Είναι χειρότερα αν πεσεις προς τα πίσω. Στη συγκεκριμένη περίπτωση με τόσο αέρα αν έχεις θήκη, λόγο αντίστασης σου γυρνάει συνέχεια του χέρι και το καρπό, ενώ αν το ακουμπάς στα βράχια για να κατέβεις στο παίρνει και μπορεί να καταλήξει στην θάλασσα ή δεκάδες μέτρα μακριά. Πίστεψε με έχω γράψει τόσες ώρες που τα έχω δοκιμάσει όλα. Με 6-7αρια μόνο γυμνό καλάμι
Ωχ καταλαβα....ναι η αληθεια ειναι πως με 6-7αρια η οποια επιπλεον αντισταση της θηκης, δεν ειναι οτι καλυτερο για την ισορροπία σου σε τετοιες συνθηκες
Ανεκτίμητη εικόνα όπου ο μικρός φέρνει το ψάρι για ψήσιμο.... Πάντως για τα φίδια να έχεις το νου σου, φέτος γίνεται χαμός....Καταπληκτικό το βίντεο, να τους χαίρεσαι...
