hi guys, dont worry maybe nick will start learning some Maltese. Mind u i dont think he will ever be able to understand what i write. Dont worry Camkev i was just kidding.
Mark if i understood u right: as soon as I hit bottom i retrieve a mtr and if no hits i bring up, move a bit and try again

[busumark]

if there is no current or very weak current you can leave it for 5-7 minutes. if no bites change place. but as i said before in bottom fishing or there is fish and bites imediatley or no fish no bites

got u busumark when u move how far off do u have to go.

Hi Shanook,

sorry to hear that, I will try to get some more bearing for you but yesterday it was like fishing in a well. sometimes you move only 10mtrs from your distance and you'll start catching Bazug again. I leave the lead always on the bottom ands some times I lift it 20m and release after 1minute so that it will land in another area since the boat will still be moving with the current.

Yesterday after deep sea fishing I went on the cliffs and there was still current and we had only 1 bite on my friends rod , It was a 1kg+ Pagru .

and I lost another 1kg of lead from the cliffs too

thanks fishfinder i still enjoyed myself, its since I  have not caught anything i feel that i am doing something wrong. Its a matter of patience and practice. Like u said u didnt catch anything which is something that doent really make sense to me as I feel that at those depths there should be fish. cause even if fisherman lays long lines its still a lot of sea bottom doen there.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Well actually they didn't left a lot of the sea bottom cause when Busumark said it was full of longlines he really ment full, every 30m there was a sign and when you look at the surface it looked like they will never end these floats.

yesterday my back blocked and can't go fishing until it gets back to normal (slip discs are very painfull). I will send you a pm when I will plan to go and will take you there hopefully the fish will hungry that day.

got u. take care of ur back as u said it can be very painful. c ya

Managed to get the translation done!! Interesting to read, guess bottom fishing is like any type of fishing, aside from having the right equipment, you're either in a good spot or you're not!

Has anyone ever tried a metal jig when bottom fishing?

[shanook]

with metal jigs its different because u have to jig it and thats hard work...apart from the fact that at those depths the jiq will never make the bottom. so to jig we  will have to try shallower waters.

I see, I saw on the Miya that they had a jigging function so was curious.

Guys you are saying that there were floats every 30m are you sure they were bottom longlines because i think they must have been surface longlines for swordfish.

[fishfinder]

They where all bottom lines cause we know one of the guys and he was out there for Cippullaz. Out there there are many rocks and so they cut the lines very small and they drop it with a single mother line.

That way they will not lose too much hooks and to retreive it will be much more easy for them.

my miya doesnt have a jigging function its the Daiwa that has it. When i was making my choice between the two it was jigging function against a little bit more powerful motor I went for the motor.
