Holiday Lure Fishing In Greece (Catch & Cook)

[@jamesmoss4236]

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

[@pinballwizard666]

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!

[@compactangler]

Thanks! You should definitely try it some time..good fun indeed👍

[@anglersbureau]

Very enjoyable, great footage of the leaping fish too.

[@ch1ckenphat514]

Wonderful video. Just curious, do foreign visitors need a fishing license to cast into the ocean? Are there size limits on certain fish?

[@compactangler]

@@ch1ckenphat514 Hi, you don’t need a fishing license to fish, but there are minimum size limits.

[@ch1ckenphat514]

@@compactangler thank you for the information, I'll have to look into it a little further.

[@FishNLuresCY]

nice video :) that is a blue runner you got there :)

[@compactangler]

Thanks!

[@KELEBIAS]

Nice vid nice colors !

[@compactangler]

Thanks, shame it’s not the greatest quality, filmed with my old iphone 10, but regardless, it was a beautiful sunrise 🌅😎

[@MonktonJohn]

Great stuff what a great location we love Greece hopefully I can try lanzarote in the New year hopefully my UK lures will grab their attention

[@compactangler]

Thank you John! Lanzarote seems like a great place to try new lures. Tight lines👍

[@MisterHik]

Greetings from Greece!

[@compactangler]

Thanks!

[@spiningtrips_from_sea]

Great fish ! Thanks for video :)

[@compactangler]

Thank you Hristo!

[@spiningtrips_from_sea]

@@compactangler Catch second fish is blue fish (Γοφαρι).

[@compactangler]

@@spiningtrips_from_sea Thanks for clarifying, it really surprised me how hard it fought😀👍

[@MoneyMiami]

Dude I love your setups, those rods are sick !

[@cespaia]

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]

Thank you for clarifying this for me, very much appreciated👍

[@danharvey7717]

Great clip. Looks like a lovely spot ! Been all over the Greek Islands in my youth - never took my gear 🫤🙄. Will definitely think about ‘going light’ next time. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@compactangler]

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👍🏻

[@Aaron-pu9gg]

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

[@compactangler]

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

[@tomeiemanuele]

Fantastic beach. Where is? And very good BBQ🎉🎉

[@compactangler]

Thanks, it’s near Skala in Kefalonia.

[@grahamallen1866]

Great Clip well done . I am heading to Corfu next month Im taking a spinning rod. I will try the same lures you have used. not to much info out there on the lure fishing . thanks for sharing. Cheers Graham

[@compactangler]

Thanks mate, good luck on Corfu!

[@grahamallen1866]

​@@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.

[@compactangler]

@@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!

[@davidwoodrow6634]

Superb loved it 👍🏻

[@compactangler]

Thank mate!

[@makinglure]

Nice job 🙂

[@johnloxley8705]

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 😁🎣👍🏽

[@compactangler]

Yeah, they are strong fighting fish on light tackle, you would think you hooked into a tuna or something 😜 Thanks for watching!

[@Kernow-lerf]

Hi got first time in many years I’m heading over to Greece Zante I’m taking my travel LRF rod hopefully to do some beach and rock fishing are the any regulations I need to be aware off any advice would be appreciated thanks

[@compactangler]

@@Kernow-lerf Hi, sorry for the late reply. You can fish freely anywhere as far as I know. There are only size limits if you want to keep the fish.

[@peterhebbes]

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!

[@peterhebbes]

@@compactangler I'll definitely bring some lures with me then thank you. Hopefully find some deeper water to go at while I'm there. I looked at some boat trips but they looked expensive for just a few hours. I have a week to find some spots anyway. Thank you for your reply 👍 tight lines

[@Quietearthadventures]

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]

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🤞

[@PhillmcCrakin]

What bite trace where you using?? Awesome video

[@compactangler]

Hey thanks, I used 6lb fluorocarbon if I remember correctly.

[@PhillmcCrakin]

@@compactangler that’s enough for those toothy fish???

[@compactangler]

@@PhillmcCrakin I’m fishing with a light/ultralight setup in this video, so there’s no need for trace wires…although you could be right too as there is always a possibility for a barracuda to be lurking around.

[@MilanMihajlov]

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 🎣

[@gart4945]

Wich lures did you use

[@compactangler]

Mainly used Savage Gear gravity minnow 50 and Duo Tetra Works Toto 48 lures.

[@zorankalina4399]

👌🙂

[@OVSpr]

The big one looks like a bluefish or a false albacore. Can't tell in this light.

[@compactangler]

I couldn’t tell either, it fought well though…until I screwed it up🙄 and lost it. Thanks for watching 👍

[@Reeldinghylife]

Love the channel bro ! Just subscribed to the channel ❤ have a peak at some of our missions out in New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@compactangler]

Thanks mate! I’ll take a look for sure👍

[@tonybr2469]

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

[@compactangler]

I used the “albright knot”

[@tonybr2469]

Hi nice fish guess your from England tight lines a giveaway any tips or regulations fishing in Greece I’m going next year in may so appreciate any tips so I stay out of trouble great vid that fish made my mouth water look forward to your info etc

[@compactangler]

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👍

[@marcellberki7545]

Hey,im in corfu right now,tried fishing but had no luck.Can you Tell me where is the spot you went to?🫶🏻

[@compactangler]

This was Kefalonia.
