Lure Fishing the Greek island of Crete

Firstly a massive thanks to the 200 of you that have subscribed to the channel! I can't quite believe that there's that many people who want to watch my attempts at fishing 🤣

Secondly, the Wales roadtrip videos will continue over the coming weeks, I'm going to aim to release a new video every sunday morning, but hit the notification bell to get an alert when they go live!

I'm off to Mexico in a couple of weeks, chasing some big fish, so head on over to Instagram for the latest on that trip.

Also, let me know your thoughts on fresh water fishing. Do you fish a mix or are you fixed on one type like me? I do like the thought of finding some local big pike, but the thought of fishing in puddles doesn't grab me in the slightest 😉

Finally, hope you enjoy the footage from Greece. Some stunning scenery, unfortunately very light on fish, maybe a sign of how heavily fished the waters have been over the years?

As always, until next time, take care and tight lines!

May until October is the best season for lure fishing in Crete you must be really lucky to catch fish with spinning outside that season also our fish go to university and they are clever so it's even hard to catch them with big number of lines

Been down that road also. Only luck I’ve had from Greece was fishing the witching hour into darkness for sea bass and if you keep fishing to just after dark you’ll sometimes snag a barracuda. Try to fish the slightly rougher areas of ocean from the rocks. Use advanced smoojing tactics on the missus to convince her to be done and dusted with dinner by 8pm.

You'd have been better free lining bread as a lot of those locations, the harbour, inlets etc the fish were probably mullet, just an idea for next time, I take 2 telescopic rods, floats, small leads, hooks etc, buy squid and raw prawn from the supermarket, Bingo, tight lines buddy

Locals in Crete use bread, soaked then compressed around your hook.

i lived in greece for a year and its very simple why you didnt catch its because of of greece it totally over fished, the greeks have very loose morals when it comes to rules and regulations in general and the fishing really suffers, the whole coastline of create where i lived was just baron and devoid of any life/ecosystem.
