Sargan is a marine predatory fish, which can be easily recognized by its thin, long body with a dark back and equally long jaws. The garfish leads a schooling lifestyle and is found in all seas of Europe.
Some trophy individuals can reach a length of 1 m and a weight of 1.3-1.4 kg. This predator feeds mainly on small fish and various crustaceans.
Due to the widespread distribution of garfish, fishing for this species remains quite popular in coastal areas.
When and where to catch garfish
Although with varying results, garfish are caught all year round. In the first half of spring, fish, as a rule, approach the shore to spawn, and later actively feed. In summer, at high temperatures, it can sometimes migrate to the open sea. Between August and November, schools of garfish again enter the coastal zone, and it is during this period of time that fishing for this predator in the Black Sea becomes most productive.
At the end of summer and autumn, the garfish can move closer to the shore, as larger predators hunt the garfish. Naturally, the garfish itself actively feeds on small fish.
It is best to hunt garfish in the morning or evening.
Schools of fish can stand both in shallow areas with a rocky bottom and an abundance of algae (4-5 m), and further from the shore in the water column at a depth of 20-30 m. However, even at a decent distance from the shore in the upper water horizon, it is sometimes possible spot a hunting garfish.
Mullet fishing technique
When fishing with a bombard in the Black Sea, mullet is of particular interest. This small fish, only 20–22 cm long, is loved by many for its tasty meat. The recommended tackle for mullet is the following: rod - up to 4.5 m, slow action, medium test (15-40 g), spool with a capacity of 3000, 100-120 m of fishing line 0.22-0.25 mm. Using one swivel is enough. The leash is selected from 1 to 1.5 m long; It is best to use 0.16 mm nylon fishing line for it. Hooks No. 16.
The bait can be very varied, but it is best to use a sea worm (Nereis).
The technique of catching mullet with a bombard is quite simple. First, a possible location for the chosen fishing method is sought. It is advisable to pre-feed the mullet, just before fishing.
Fishing for garfish with a bombard
The use of a bombard in catching garfish is relevant for the reason that this unique float allows you to cast light bait over long distances.
Floating bombards are used more often, and slow-sinking specimens are used much less often. To cast a rig with a bombard, you will need a spinning rod 3-4 m long and 10-40 g of dough, equipped with a reliable spinning reel.
The fishing line is used both monofilament (0.3 mm) and braided (0.15-0.2 mm). The diameter of the leader line is less than the thickness of the main line. A two-meter leash is attached to the latter using a swivel.
Hooks should not be too large and very sharp, No. 6-7.
Fishing for garfish with a tyrant
If you have a boat at your disposal, good results can be achieved by fishing with a rather unusual but popular sea tackle - the tyrant. As you know, when catching some sea fish, tyrant hooks are often left bare, that is, no bait or bait is used.
In the case of tyrant fishing for garfish, the situation is even more interesting: sometimes fishermen do not even use hooks, but instead hook bundles of thread or pieces of bast, in which the garfish’s teeth easily get stuck.
Fishing for garfish with a spoon
Catching garfish from the shore with small lures is very interesting, although the result does not always satisfy the fisherman’s desires for a catch. The main problem with shore fishing with spoons is the casting range. As a rule, casting over impressive distances is required, but with light equipment and small baits this is quite difficult to do.
As for the selection of gear itself, small spinners (jigs) and thin fishing line with a diameter of 0.2-0.3 mm are used. Sometimes the tee is attached to the spoon itself using a short leash (4-5 cm), so that the garfish grabs the hook deeply with its long jaws.
Fastening equipment under heavy loads
A little more about fastening. Carabiner or swivel, etc. We recommend attaching the bait, based on the experience of our trips to the sea, when quite large loads are placed on the tackle, without using fasteners. Those. when large fish are caught, often more than 10 kg.
Tips for fisherman: Tackle for sea fishing in Crimea - What is the difference, pros and cons
For heavy loads on the tackle, we do not use fasteners, but only use winding rings and swivels.
In principle, changing a pilker with a winding ring does not take much longer than using a clasp. Just take the swivel and put it on the winding ring (Photo 14). It turns out that an extra part with reduced reliability - the clasp - has disappeared. All that remains is a forged stainless steel winding ring, a reinforced marine swivel and a self-tie on a 0.5 cord (Photo 15). The sea tackle turns out to be extremely reliable.
We recommend using a self-tie when fishing. Equip your jigs with either a simple tee, or a tee with an edge, or two tees, or in any configuration you like.
Our recommendation is that the top mount for the punda (for the cone jig) is still preferable.

This tactic is suitable for fishing with jigs and spoons. Fishing for garfish with a spoon sometimes produces large catches of quite large individuals. Although this type of equipment is less popular than organic bait.
Fly fishing for garfish with a brush
Another original way of catching garfish that does not involve the use of hooks. Creating a tackle begins with attaching a cork ball, slightly larger than a pea, to the end of the fishing line. Then you need to make a tassel from multi-colored silk threads and secure it to the cork. Small knots are made at the ends of all threads, which the garfish should eventually cling to with its teeth.
When the tackle is ready, you can try it out in practice as follows: make a long cast, then quickly move the bait along the water surface and sharply pull the brush upward. Such actions are repeated until the predator grabs the bait.
Baits and lures for garfish
Depending on the fishing method, various baits of animal origin and artificial bait are used. Garfish bite well on the meat of mussels, crayfish and crabs, although, by and large, almost any meat is suitable, including chicken. As for artificial baits, it is worth remembering the same spinner spoons, as well as the previously mentioned silk tassels and skeins of thread.
Garfish bites are clearly visible when using any gear, as the fish likes to make strong sudden movements after swallowing the bait. While fishing for garfish, any difficulties are also unlikely to befall you.
Bait for garfish
Since the majority of fish are average in size, the bait is selected in accordance with these parameters. They use fry, maggots, shrimp, mussels and just small pieces of meat or fish. It is important that the contents of the hook are oblong in shape, reminiscent of natural prey. It’s a good idea to leave the skin on it - for fidelity and greater naturalness.

Garfish also react quite well to artificial baits - silicone worms, wobblers, small spoons. They, like natural ones, must be thrown as far as possible. For gravity, professionals use a bombard.
Many people dream of Europe, some dream of America, even some go to live for permanent residence in other foreign countries, including the countries of Europe and America. But I like living in Russia, after all, I was born and raised here.
Life in Estonia is just as simpler for Russian citizens. Despite the fact that only citizens of the country who know the language well and have an Estonian passport can get a job in government agencies, there is a good opportunity for Russians to engage in private business. Here the authorities of the country do not restrict Russians in anything.

How to catch tench
We are not talking about a fish, so small and graceful, but about a real trophy. Let's talk about tactics for catching large tench.
Catching carp is not that easy
Before you start the fishing season, you first need to check your gear. Fishing rods and lines for carp must be very strong to withstand the heavy weight of the fish, which sometimes reaches from 9 to 13 kg or more.
The pike picked itself up
At the beginning of April, my friends and I went fishing to Deima. We reached the fishing spot - upstream from Polessk - at half past ten in the morning. While we prepared the gear and decided who would fish where, another half hour passed.
Bad weather is not a hindrance
Before going fishing, I try to find out where the good bite is at this time. Where is the easiest place to get reliable information? Of course, in a fishing store.
Wobblers Rapala JOINTED
Its developers called this wobbler model JOINTED. This is the ORIGINAL version of the wobbler. The JOINTED bait showed excellent results when used during fishing using the “track” method and with a spinning rod. JOINTED plays a very lively game in the water when retrieving. Thanks to this quality, the wobbler gives good results when used in cold water, when the fish behaves passively due to lower temperatures, or when the bite is poor for other reasons.
