Night Fishing

[Gazzetta]

Can anyone advise if they are expiriancing the same as me in the South of Malta. I normally go fishing at about 10:00pm & starts of with a few bites but about midnight there is not on single bite untill 4:00am. just wondering if anyone is catching fish between midnight & 4:00am. Only asking so I will change my fishing times.

I think that from 1am till 4pm it's the worst time for night fishing, at least that's what experience told me.  I was saying that to ForTuna yesterday and that's what happened, Catches from 7 - 12, no hits from 1 - 4, catches from 4 till 6.
NB we were @ Ghadira so it's not a south problem.

till 2 wks ago we were doing night fishing and enjoying it, nothing special but you get the occasional nice sargu.... now for the last 2 wks it's been a disaster, no bites at all! same place, same bait, same people....... we are very dissapointed.... i think its still good time for night fishing in october..... we do go late nearly at midnight so if some people are encountering same problem maybe we agree.... but then again, we were catching fish before at the same time, during hte night!  cheers to all!

Yesterday went out by boat from 9:00 till 4:00 and we didn't catch more than 10 fish, pagell sparli and 1 pagru, not even 1 sargu. It's been a while since the last time I went out night fishing but I never recall having such a bad night.
