for the old model try Ta Bormla Mosta; Roots pet shop San Gwann; and golden eagle's stock ( the shop sea fox mentioned ) a nephew of his opened a new shop Kalkara just as you enter the Gate opposite the boat slip way. good luck

I used 7" Redgills in different colours & caught nothing on them as well!

blueskip,
I would suggest not to use 7" (18cm) but 14cm

In that case I will wait until a "Special Offer" on Redgills takes place & buy some 14cm ones, anything to givemyself a chance!

just forget those redgills for alongi

straight runners are better for Alungi, medium poppers are ok as well. Keep a white to a glittery head and u are ok. the bigger the eyes on the head the better........having said that a hungry fish takes everything that comes along....

Now he tells me after I dragged them for 50miles off Fifla last week!Hmmmmmm!

I had a big spiral lead mounted about 20ft in front of it & when it was coming through the water the tail action was looking good, as you say maybe it is a bit too fast for it, but it must have been generating some vibration from that tail action, it should have attracted something to somebody elses lure, I reckon all the alongi along the ledges off Fifla were deaf that morning

I would love to try your suggestion tomorrow but I dont think I can get a Ryanair flight at that short notice!

Next time will be September & hopefully the lampuki do you use the same methods for them? Because Placebo wont tell me how to catch them until he has filled the boat & its time to go home!

i told you how to do it ... but to be the very good fisherman you went for your own thinking!

next time you get no rods and nothing and i will prepare you fishing gear!

and then ... if i catch more fish than you

? probably you will have to swim your way back shore.

Old chinese proverb "time spent watching is not time wasted"

now I know exactly what type of tackle to rig myself with I will be a true competitor in the trolling

Regarding that "vertical jigging" that you can keep, I think thats why so many Maltese go "power walking" or running in order to get fit for jigging! I have jigged on wrecks back home for pollack, coalfish, cod etc, but never seen anything to resemble that!

it should be included in the next olympics! I thought the two blokes on that boat inshore of us were having an epileptic fit!

god one blueskip but and thats a bog BUT with one T of course........they have invented electric jgging reels for the lazy ones like me.......
