Rock/harbour fishing on Symi.

I have looked on Google and on this forum, but can find no real information about rock fishing on Symi. Has anybody any experience for locations etc. Thanks

Hi, we just returned from Symi last week, I did see a couple of people casting off the harbour at the Clock tower. We did see them catch a fish about 8 inches and had to laugh when as the lady was trying to unhook the fish and put in her bucket a cat appears from under a car and tried to assist. It was funny seeing the local lady trying to fend the cat off.

The clock tower corner does seem to be the place to be for harbour fishermen. I have seen them down on the rocks on the way to Nimborio too. The local kids appear to like the jetties in Pedi but I've never seen them catch anything bigger than an undernourished goldfish though

I'm no fisherman and I don't really know what I'm talking about so if you want real advice Carl you should probably ask the locals on the island. Fishing (along with sport, politics and women) is a common topic of conversation in the kafenions.

Thanks everyone. Well rod is packed, I guess it will be a good excuse to go for a walk and watch the sun go down.
