Fishing for lampuki

how far from the boat do you let the lures out and do you use any weight?

@ stevea if fishfinder catches a fish at a time he will be happy. he got used to catching only a few fish everytime he goes out.

@ benri 18 qami is enough and you dont need weight

since we have been fishing with rods, I have missed the feel of a fish striking on a hand line. No matter what, lampuki for me will always be on hand line.

If you have a thick line, its very hard to get tangled, its easear to grab, and you can always put a thinner leader. As they said further up, co-ordination between two will produce more fish and is lots of fun.
Hand lines, when operated well are by far faster.
Lures with weights usually attract the small tuna more in the lampuki season.

While we mention small Tuna, if we catch any while at lampuki do we have to release them?

yes we have to release them. mhemmx xtaghmel

my friend last night caught 2 tunas. he was fishing 1Nm further out from us. one 20kg and another 100kg. he kept the 20kg one so i think its not the same for everyone. Nahseb tafu inti busu (pawlu l gonos).

He kept them at his own risk Bigboy, season is closed for EVERYONE, that would have been an expensive tuna at several thousand euros fine

he is carrying an mfa licence

I don't know if it's true bigboy,but I heard that when you land more than 20 swords you can have 1 as a bycatch! I don't know if you heard something?

busumark · July 15, 2009, 19:18:37 CET

it could keep tuna as by-catch of swordfish but i dont know now but i think you still can if you have permit for swordish fishing. 2 weeks ago there were 4 tuna at the pixkerija but i dont know exactly but i will ask

Guy's take care about Tuna fishing. Season is closed and if someone get caught with a tuna on his boat, he'll get a fine of 5000 euros. I know someone who's facing charges against him right now at courts.

Kane I'll happily ask Dr. Gruppetta on Friday when we meet him BUT MFA, MFB etc the commercial and recreational season for Bluefin Tuna closed long ago, no exceptions! Malta met and overshot it's quota and even allowed some of Malta's MFA's who had long lines deployed to come in and land their catch. But this was several weeks ago.

To me if he's carrying an MFA licence it's even worse and he should be fully aware. I very much doubt he has been out at sea for the past 3 weeks and has just come in?

issa jek kien al pixxispad u nqabad it ton.. xjiswa li tonn terga "tarmih" il bahar meta gili jkun mejjet diga ?! qas haq ux..

If they were fishing for sword fish, and tuna was caught, most probably it will be dead. Isn't that a waste to trow back in?
