Spinning from Land

cukito1988 · May 15, 2009, 16:10:49 CET

I have lately invested in some spinning gear for spinning from land and also got a large variety of lures. The only thing is, i'm tired of catching barracuda, i'm now interested in catching some tumbrell, spnotti, cerviol/accjol if thats always possible.

If anyone could provide fishing spots, what types of lures the fish go for and also the times for fishing the different types of fish, it would be kindly appreciated

Lucky you... I still haven't managed to hook a baracuda by spinning from on land....

At this time of the year it is very difficult to catch the kind of fihes that you have mentioned. The best times for these fish are from September till December, sometimes even in January. You can try both harbours. Eventually you will see may boats trolling for these kind of fish. Anothe good spot is in Gozo, il-Qbajjar, where lots of Kubrit are caught during the month of October. Spinners and red head are the most commonly used.

Is tumbrell available to catch this time of the year?

Tumbrell isn't caught from land or maybe once in a blue moon 10x to martinb.

I really appreciate the help guys, honestly much appreciated.

Keep up the good work and advice

I will have to try and visit some places on the west of malta as it seems very ideal and there seems to always be some activity.

Again i appreciate all the advice

Lol

and even then it took busu & bigboy to tell me it was a tumbrell and not a kubrita when i posted the pic

It can happen but not too often...

how far out would you need to cast to be in with a chance of catching anything, i had 1 hour practice near fra ben (hotel side) using a 9gram yo-zuri minnow and am limited to 40 yards, (thats what it says on box), so do i need heavier lures,

msell · May 19, 2009, 08:37:53 CET

mike you need at least 20 grms so you will cast far remember the more area you cover the more chance you have. I am not saying you cannot catch with that 9 grms okay?

fisheye · May 19, 2009, 10:14:01 CET

Imsell the most important thing is to match the lure weight with the rods casting weight. If the rod is 15gr to 50gr you have to use lures in that range of weight. Using a lighter lure and you end up with a very short throw and very good chance of birds nests using a heavier lure may result in damaging the rod. Having the wind from behind you will help you increase the distance when using lures on the lower weight range, some times by 1/3 or 1/2 of the distance.

of course my friend.i agree perfectly

mike.d. · May 20, 2009, 19:02:41 CET

can anyone sugest what type of lure i should be looking for in the 20grm range, or would it be best to just go in shop and ask, a little info before hand is allways a good thing, many thanks.

go to TONY'S or Notanic in Bugibba.

they have some nice lures. You should be looking for something 7-10cm.

mike.d. · May 20, 2009, 19:13:42 CET

thanks for info placebo, any idea where shops are as i have not seen either of them.

placebo · May 20, 2009, 21:25:12 CET

on the front where the Mcdonalds is located. They look like souvenier shops but are quite equipped with various tackle.

you'll recognize them since they display rods outside the shop.
