Fishing for lampuki

shanook · July 13, 2009, 09:46:22 CET

line thickness beginning u can go down to .20 to .40mm and later i use .6mm all round.For main line i go with a straight .5 or .60mm and later .90mmi dont bother to have the first thicker than stepping don but u can do that if u want to ( I dont do this because when using a hand line u drop the line on the floor and the more links and joints u have the more chance of a tangle. Especially if u dont know how to grab a lampuka its a devil of a fish and very slippery, if it falls on the line u are bound to get a nice tangle especially if u have joints in the line).

When I pull a lampuka onboard I imediatly press it to my chest so it's barely able to strugle and then grab it from the gill WELL!!
You dont want lampuki all over your line !
Then the best would be to kill them , personally i bite them on the head.

Beware of large sized lampuki when you hold it to your chest. I did that once with a 3kilo lampuka and ended double on deck with the multiple wacking I got between the legs with its tail. I had a bruise that lasted a week, not to mention the peculiar walk I had that evening and the next day!!!

Hi guys... real way is to bite the Lampuka's head////... instant death and no tangle...just a fishy salty taste.))) Bit rough but works perfect as you are also in a good position to unhook...

Just wear a glove and you can hold it with one hand without problems.
Why it seems that everyone here uses a handline instead of rod? With the rod its much more fun and you dont tangle any lines.

But with hand line it is much faster and you will catch more

I fully agree with moonwalker, with the rods it's much more fun and it is faster than hand lines cause often the lampuka falls exactly in the line ending up swearing and god knows what when with a rod just unhook the fish and back for more

I personally think rods for Lampuki is nonsense .. when hooking a fish it is very important you do this fast as to keep the shoal together and not dive towards the bottom. Having two lures helps in this... and the fact that one line has a fish will help the other lure in hooking up yet another fish. Being fast is a major factor in Lampuki fishing.... u need to be fast to thorw back in..... With rod it's great fun but can somehow slow you down and therefore catches will only be one at a time....
