Don't bother with a fishing boat.

I took my two lads on an evening trip on "Taffys" boat and he/they never had a clue and everyone complained about the 4 hour boat trip being really 30 minutes fishing then 3.5 hours trying to drag another boat from a sandbank.

We used to fish of the groins that went out to sea and a few times we did hook something big only to lose it on the rocks but hey 2 cokes a beer and sitting on the dock of the bay with your kids who needs the fish.

same question, but for marmaris. is it poss to hire a boat for the day,if so aproximately how much would it be
Reply
In marmaris the boat is about £70 a day , sorry dont know how many people you can get on. They supply lunch and tackle etc. Or for a bit of fun, buy some bread and a handline( total 5 YTL) and fish near the marina.

If you are lucky enough to catch a fish are there any to be wary of. ie :shock: stings or spines. :shock:

yes there are. A little sod they call stone fish. Its got a couple of nasty spikes. its a good point, always be wary of what you catch.

Ok vic I do know you can hire boats from Olu - see the guys down the beachfront I think their about the same price as chelsea Boy says in Marmaris . One of the guys did offer us a speedboat a couple of years ago for half a day (£32) which we were really tempted by.

does anyone know if you can fish near the lagoon ? - probably not allowed is it? It wouldnt surprise me If one of the turkish guys could easily fix you up with some fishing. They can fix anything up - one phonecall and it will be sorted :D :D :D and at a cheap price at that. :D :D

vic, I watched the local boys fishing with good results, they had a line with many hooks wrapped around and around a bread roll ,they threw it out and the water boiled with fish all snapping at the bread in such a frenzy that with so many hooks and so many fish they caught quite a few, so forget the little pinch of bread on one hook.. :gluck WAKI..

bread is what the locals use.. but JT swears by chicken! I have yet to see him catch anything though!!!!! There are sea bass and sea bream in abundance here and make excellent eating.

Hi,
When at our villa , my boy digs up the little worms at the shoreline. He is quite successful. Also, little shrimps make good bait which he gets from the beach bar!
Cheers

I'm visiting Marmaris in June for two weeks staying at The Keskin Hotel, during my holiday I intend to do some fishing however where fishing is concerned I am a complete novice. Could anyone offer some advice as to fishing in Marmaris & tell me what type of rod/bait/hooks etc. I will need. Thanks in advance :?: :?
