Sunrise hits at 6:45 AM, sunset around 7:50 PM, giving us a fat 13 hours of prime light. No real tides to sweat in these island waters, but lunar pull's average—best action from dawn to 9 AM and 1-3 PM, when fish feed like they've got a schedule.Fish are waking up post-winter! Saddled seabream and annular seabream topping recent catches around Cyclades, with limits of 5-10 fish per boat on light tackle. Dabs and picarels stacking up in shallower bays, and word from Mykonos charters is sea bass hitting hard on the troll—up to 2-3 kg beauties.

Jigs with feather tails for bass, or **sardine strips** on circle hooks for bottom dwellers. Live bait? Octopus chunks or fresh mussels rule for the big boys.Hot spots: Anchor off **Kea's Korissia Bay** for seabream frenzy in 10-20m, or drift **Paros' Golden Beach** reefs—schools are thick there now.Tight lines, stay safe out there!Thanks for tuning in—subscribe for weekly updates!
