As the garfish starts disappearing from our shores it the bogue's turn to inhabit our shores
Targeting for this fish we need different equipment and different tackle
Spots mainly frequented round the island which are the most productive are all above water level height so it would be wise to get yourself a good bolognese rod capable of lifting up a kilogramme of weight in heights
Tackle: Bolognese rod 5 mtr minimum in length. Length of rod is needed to keep away from rocks when fishing from heights. I use the Tubertini Level 8 in a 7mtr length, which I find great for fish handling with fine lines.
A good rear or front drag reel spooled with 0.20mm line will do great, although you may opt for thicker diameter in 0.22mm - 0.25mm to adopt better when fishing from heights
As terminal tackle we can set the running float method with a bit of weight in the region of 5gms - 15gms
Below is the type of float ideal for fishing the bogues
Load the mainline well using the correct amount of weights and continue with the following terminal as final presentation for your fish ......
And for bait - Nothing is better than shrimps
Grondbaiting is done at best using some sardines mixed with breadcrumbs
Enjoy your Christmas holidays fishing the lovely bogues which can reach the 1kgs mark in weight in some occasions and maybe even a little bit bigger ..........
A typical bogue caught during the season .......
