Red Porgy – Malta Fishing Charters

The Red Porgy (Pagru in Maltese) is one of the most sought-after fish in Malta, especially by those fishing with live bait or jigging in deeper waters. Known for its vibrant pink to reddish color and powerful fight, this species will immediately put your skills and equipment to the test the moment it’s hooked. Red porgies are commonly found alongside other prized species like Dentex, making them a top target for serious anglers. They typically range from 30 to 60 cm in length, with larger specimens offering an even greater challenge. Their strength, beauty, and excellent eating quality make them a truly rewarding catch.
