Regular visitor to Malta could do with some advice!!!

[Alan - Brighton]

Hi to you all,

I posted the other day but the site crashed and I didn't get to see the replies, so here goes again...
I'm over at the end of the month to visit my mum in Melliha, I've been loads of times before but this time I'd like to do a spot of fishing.
At home I have a boat so am used to that style of fishing, but I thought I'd pack a travel rod and try a bit of shore fishing for a change.
Can anybody give me some advice on where to go and what tactics to use (day or night). I gather beam are a species that are quite prevelant so wouldn't mind a go at those.
Also (time permitting) is it a good time of year for deeper sea fishing? If so are there any charters that would accept individuals?

Many thanks for any advice that you have.

Alan.
