    No boat. No rush. Just a rod, the current and a glass of tea. Most visitors see Istanbul from a ferry. This is the other side – fishing from the quay, beside a centuries-old mosque, with the Bosphorus Bridge above you. I'll teach you the knots that matter, how to read the current and find your own spot. Then we wait, drink tea, talk – and every so often, something pulls. Beginners are welcome. Experienced anglers can request heavier gear.

About Garfish fishing

Size
6 oz to 1 lb
Food Value
Good
Game Quality
Excellent

Garfish fishing is fast, visual, and a ton of fun. These long, slim sport fish slash at baits on the surface and often leap when hooked. They gather in schools, so once you find them the action can be steady. Anglers target Garfish for quick bites, light tackle fights, and great table fare in many places.

You can catch Garfish with light spinning gear, float rigs, or fly fishing. Use small hooks and tiny baits like prawn, squid strips, or dough, or throw slim metal lures and small soft plastics. Berley, also called chum, helps draw schools into range. Garfish often feed around piers, jetties, estuaries, and calm bays, especially near current lines and lights.

Expect a lively, close-to-shore trip with short runs and acrobatic jumps. This bite suits beginners, kids, and anyone who enjoys steady action on simple gear. Bring a light rod, fine leader, long-nose pliers, and polarized sunglasses to spot fish and protect your eyes. Handle Garfish with care around the beak, and use a dehooker to release fish quickly if practicing catch and release.

Regulations for Garfish can change by location. Before your trip, check local rules for fishing licenses or permits, open seasons, and any size or bag limits. Confirm legal gear and method rules, and follow best practices for handling and harvest where allowed.
