Prosit Mayer, just goes to prove that in these early days might as well carry your bottom fishing gear to make the trip worthwile.

Also worth bearing in mind your skipper was under pressure to get you and company into some fish Trolling for Albacore even in the peak of the season may not yield any strikes in the earlly hours, many times I have chased Albacore and had no strikes until late morninig and in most cases multiple strikes, it's a matter of perseverence but in your skipper's case he used good judgement and went for plan B.

alongi are here caught three and lost another one few meters from the boat. largest one 13kg the other 2 round 8kg we were trolling along the second ridge anyone else had any catches?

Went out today , landed two nice Albacore around 10 Kg each. Apparently it was a late morning bite for us, as both fish were caught within minutes of each other at around 10:30 am.

Yesterday caught two as well and it was around 10.30am. One was 8kgs and the other 6kgs

We got one late morning Saturday just before 1pmaround 3nm out from Freeport . Was only around 6kgs so catch and release, but at least my wife got to see the whole process.

We spent around another 90 mins trolling after that on first ridge but no strikes.

Went out this morning and got one late morning around 9:30 about 17 nm out. Sea state was confused.

Tried 2day early morning for around an hour only but no strikes. Well I just went out 3 miles from cirkewwa. Its more that I tried my new gear

Btw this was my first attempt for alungi

Try 4.5nm out (1st Ridge) bearing 253 degrees from Cirkewwa point.

Then follow a bearing of 190 degrees and you should be over the 1st ridge moving left and right intersecting it.

Thanks skip

I will also try going out from gnejna to go limits of filfa, or is best to go out from the south area? is there a good slip way as im from mosta

Thanks mate

There's are 2 excellent slips in St. Georges bay, birzebbuga. However gnejna is fine and you're in alongi territory within 20 to 30 minutes.

andrew · June 23, 2011, 23:22:35 CET

Thanks Gaffer

will try from gnejna then in few days time as next week full of work
