Having a guided fishing trip is an experience of its own. However, having an experienced fishing guide is the only way to elevate your experience to a whole other level. I have mapped the huge areas around the fishing hotspots of the Ionian Sea, where fish hunt, mate, and reside which eliminates some of the guesswork involved with fishing. Yes, that's a big-time investment. I've been guiding people to fishing success for the last decade and have been running my own fishing YouTube channel with thousands of subscribers since 2013. Sea can be unpredictable so can fishing, so I can't guarantee success and trophy-sized specimens each and every time, however after all these years I learned how to translate fish behavior and fish migration patterns which can greatly increase our success rates. With us, you would be able to catch almost every predatory fish that can be found in the Ionian Sea.
