Garfish Frenzy! Float Fishing at Pelican Park, Clontarf

ImJasonFish top tips for targeting garfish:
• Carefully watch the float. The float does not need to pulled directly down. Sometimes the float will be pulled side ways. A sharp change of direction or a movement out of the ordinary pattern indicates a garfish inquiry.
• Garfish throw the hooks easily, so once you have hooked on, quickly flick the garfish on land or into a nearly bucket.
• They are quite a messy and stinky fish to target as they flail alot and sometimes flick their feces around - either use a towel or be careful handling.
• To bait, thread small bits of dough onto the hook as many times as you can - making a rough tear drop shape. If you are using bread, use small hard pieces of bread and thread it on the hook once.
• Use small hook as garfish have tiny mouths - Size 10 Suicide beak hooks are great
