A quiz for the experts, probably Captain sth! Where is Clive fighting his fish?  Too tough? Here's an easier shot. (Maybe?)  Beautiful calm day! |

Finally a special commendation for second Officer Howard who excelled as sportfishing crew, manfully fighting fish when we had multiple hits. Also netting a nice blue for me. Thanks Howard!  Two Dorados there and, while Howard hates fish, Mrs Howard enjoyed it together with the rest of us! |

A quick glance would suggest along the North side somewhere beyond Areta. Possibly between St.George & Dio Yiali. Just about the spot where the "Three Big Fish from Tilos" are supposed to lurk  |

North coast, yes!
Only round the second headland; see the islands Theodora etc.
Any further and you can't see them.
No BIG fish of Tilos or otherwise, but a good selection of "spotties" with the odd blue once past Kefali on the rough bit.
This year, when possible, we went round the island because it was productive. Hopefully next year we will take you round with lunch at Ftenagia instead of struggling with the cat's cradle at Glyfada.
My pictures for this year are broken into several postings, so look back to page 2 to see John, Sam, Barney and Tim(my) showing off!

Doubt if there is much chance of that sth, I seem to be jinxed  I would be terrified if we caught anything that size and there would be a serious lot of panicking on the boat  |

Is that a blue, bigeye or yellow (I can't enlarge it), and where was it caught sth?
Are you trying to inspire Chalkibert?
You know he wants one!

Pacific Bluefin. 335Kg. Caught on a rod and reel from a 6 metre tin boat near Houhora off the East coast of North Island New Zealand.

Just looked it up!
It was bait caught, and because they weren't using circle hooks it was gut hooked and quickly died. They then had to dead lift it. A bit sad really.
They got it on 80lb gear; I mostly have 20 & 30s!
My one "big" Shimanu Tiagra/Beastmaster combo is 50lb.
Only the boat size is comparable.
I'd settle for a 25-50Kg fish which would be enough to feed the whole island.
Yes, I have seen one in that range jump near Makri. I thought it was a dolphin... until it cleared the water.
It would have to be a yellowfin too as it is illegal to land Mediterranean Bluefin.

The 2012 Season This year has been spectacular with large numbers of Dorado/Kynigos/Mahi-mahi turning up. Also a lot of new people have "had a go" and most have enjoyed; some have been a bit overwhelmed, "I though fishing was supposed to be relaxing!" Frequently the hits have been hard and fast. Lines snatched as soon as they have been put out, while they were being clipped, and even while they are being put out. On one session I think I failed to get all my six lines out for the entire duration of the trip. That one ended with me saying, "We are going back now". George asked "Why?" To which I replied, "How many more fish do you want?"; we had 15 in one and a half hours! I do sportfishing not commercial (over)fishing. On 30/09/12 we had a new record with the first four hits from four different species; little tunny, dorado (jumped and lost), barracuda, lesser amberjack. (We caught and landed more dorado later!) On 26/09/12 we also caught a new species, a bonito. That's the real thing, not the inferior little tunny which also gets, incorrectly, called bonito/palamida. There was, of course the necessary re-hydration after the sessions, and the feasts later in the evening to complete the event. |
