Greece squid fishing

[lord of the squids]

Hi, If you have any experience squid fishing in Greece then please tell us about it. Particularly, we would like to know in what regions squid fishing is popular in Greece. Also, what are "squid jigs" called in the Greek language? What type/species of squid do you catch in Greece?


Any photos would be helpful.


Also, I think ΚΑΛΑΜΆΡΙ means "squid" in greek. Is that correct?

Also does ΨΆΡΕΜΑ mean fishing?


Thanks a lot!

Hi Glen, just discovered your very interesting site.I live in Athens-Greece,but i have been fishing for squids more than 6 years,in a lot of islands of Greece(so i may be helpfull to friends that are coming to Greece) and of course around Athens.I fish from boat and not from shore,and i fish them all year with no stop at all and always in day time!Sometimes till the sunset but my basic fishing is during the day.Of course there are good  and bad periods during the year,but both are interesting.In good period you can catch 20-50 squids and in bad 4-6 but they are still enough to use them for live bait.My theory about squids or better kalamari is that they dont immigrate but they are moving to different but not far away areas,where you have to search for them and use a lot of imagination to attract them.About what you are asking about Greek manufactures of jigs you wont find something really interesting.Regards,Nick
