We invite you to for action on great fishing holidays. Alonissos provide excellent value fishing for the serious and family angler to top destinations. Many holidays can be tailor made to suit your personal requirements and you have a number of special choices. Alonissos is a destination fully researched to ensure the highest demands of adventurers.
I was in Alonissos (next island east from Skopelos) for the first two weeks of October this year and tried my hand at some spinning & fly fishing from the shore. Apart from a few very small Bass/Sea Bream and a Goby type thing that was it. However, there are bigger fish around, if you can find 'em!
The locals tend to fish with a chunk of bread with multiple hooks in and on hand lines and can some times catch larger fish 400/500gms 'ish. Again vary from Bass/Sea Bream type fish and some Flying Fish, although these are smaller.
I did try from a small motor boat that I hired for the day and fished the channel between Alonissos and Manola. Again, no luck apart from a solitary and very small Sea Bream. The Toby lure was as big as the fish!! The reason I did try was because a couple of days before, I was talking to one of the guys working with one of the sailing flotillas out of Steni Vala and he showed me two Dorado about 3kg each by trolling black & yellow lures behind the yacht. I had also seen fish breaking the surface chasing fry (probably after small Sardines or Anchovy) just outside the harbour which gave me encouragement, but that was a few days before I hired the boat and of course, nothing was chasing fry on the day I went out! Typical!
The other problem is, arranged boat fishing for anglers doesn't seem to be available around that area. So you have to manage yourself by hiring a small motor boat but without a fish finder, it's very much chuck it and see.
It was still good fun but I hope you have better luck than I did.
