Light Rock Fishing in Skopelos
As always, an awesome weeks holiday in Greece. This time on the island of Skopelos. Amazing how much fun you can have with just a travel rod, a spinning reel and a small bag of lures.
Grouper Game in Greece
I was lucky enough to find a couple of these juvenile grouper lurking at the bottom of a quay in Skopelos, Greece. I believe them to be Goldblotch Grouper (Epinephelus costae), which I think is a first for me. You can’t help but love grouper. A proper rockfish! They both aggressively took small paddletails fished on 1g jigheads.
LRF Amberjack
Probably the best sport I had in Skopelos was that offered by a tenacious little pack of juvenile Amberjack. Not particularly hard to hook-up once you found them – the faster the better! Super aggressive and great fun once hooked.
Light Rock Fishing in Skiathos
Back from our summer holiday in the Greek Isles and the fishing was as fruitful as always. It was my first time to Skiathos but finding fish was easy. They were everywhere!
LRF Dolphin Fish
One of my favourite captures of all time. Dolphin Fish, aka the Mahi Mahi or Dorado.
Light Rock Fishing in Spain
Back from a top week in Spain visiting my mum. It was minging hot, so snorkelling was mostly the preferred pastime but I did get to flex the travel rod here and there, trying to notch up the species count.
LRF in Spain
Over visiting my mother in Spain at the moment. Got the chance to fish for a few hours today. Nothing too serious – just a bit of fun with a handful of tackle and a pack of Isome. As ever, my mum caught the best fish of the day! #standard
