Species
Species pages are written by anglers who fish here. We publish one only when we can say something accurate about it, so this list grows slowly and deliberately.
Seriola dumerili
Amberjack
The fish most Cyprus rock anglers build their tackle around. Amberjack fight downwards and use structure, so gear choice is about lifting power rather than casting distance.

Species guide
Squid
Cyprus squid fishing runs through the cooler half of the year and needs very little gear — an egi rod, a light braid and a box of jigs.
