Discover the Thrill of Garfishing
When it comes to bread-and-butter species, the humble garfish stands out as one of the most rewarding catches for both novice and seasoned anglers. Known affectionately as “mini marlin,” garfish are a fantastic target, especially in the southern states. These spirited fish often travel in large schools, allowing for thrilling, action-packed fishing sessions.
Gear Up for Success
You don’t need the latest and greatest gear to catch garfish, but having the right equipment can make all the difference. Light-gear setups are ideal for these tiny critters. An ultra-light graphite rod or a fibreglass rod with a super light tip (often called a sensor or nibble tip) paired with a light spinning reel (sizes 1000 to 2500) spooled with light monofilament line will set you up perfectly.
The Perfect Rig for Garfish
Garfish are top-feeders and are best targeted with a float rig. Quill, pencil, and stem floats are optimal choices as their slim profiles reduce resistance, leading to more hook-ups. Use small split shots to balance the float and keep it upright in the water, and opt for long shank hooks, size 10 or smaller, to match the garfish’s tiny mouths.
The Best Baits for Garfish
Selecting the right bait is crucial for garfishing success. Here’s where Vtackle comes into play. Our Silverfish Baits are priced at just $5.50 a pack and are among the best choices for garfish. Small pieces of silverfish or squid make excellent bait, but maggots are arguably the top choice due to their irresistible wiggle.
At Vtackle, we offer a comprehensive range of baits, including our signature Silverfish Baits, designed to help you land a plentiful catch.
Don’t Forget the Burley
Using burley is essential for drawing garfish to your spot and keeping them there. Burley in a surface burley cage can work wonders. Vtackle’s, ready-made burley create an enticing, consistent trail that garfish can’t resist.
