2013 Bluefin Tuna Permit (Proposed)

[Moonwalker]

I got a call from Fisheries asking me to go pickup the fishing license.
I asked is it the Tuna license?
He said no its the fishing License.
I said I am registered Valletta not MFC.
He said Yes its the fishing License.
I said OK will come today or tomorrow.

Buq.... Has anyone got a similar call?

Guys, when you do get these calls, can you please ask who is it on the other end.  Most probably its the tuna licence.

I got mine today... Yes its for tuna. What is strange is he said min catch is 8kg whilst the doc says 30kg. He said its because of a special derogation from eu. Boq? So why did they write 30kg? What if i get a 15 kg and get fined? Any comments

[caldaland]

As gaffer rightly said................NAMES!

[shanook]

Well the fish farms can keep 8 kg tuna.......don't see anything special there but I always follow the black and white not paroli

[shanook]

I didn't get a call.......

[bigboy]

laqqas jien

[shanook]

Is it true that the tuna permit does not allow for drift fishing with live bait?
My friend told me that fishing has to be: trolling, rixa

[shanook]

Just got a call from fisheries to collect license. I asked about the fishing methods and he said, rod, rixa and harpoon. I asked how come and he said that this is according to my fishing book, as I don't have a permit for surface long lines...........I have lost hope.....

I also got a call this morning.

Shanook, you know quite well you cannot use surface long lines (kontz tal-wicc) for BFT.

[shanook]

No I don't expect to be allowed to use surface long line for tuna. ...my comment " I have lost hope" is for the reason given that it is according to my fishing license.  Which is not right. It is according to a special license to fish for tuna. Otherwise if it was according to my license it won't have a restriction for line diameter, and I would be able to use a handling with live bait. I hope it's not going to turn into an excuse to make more restrictions on the fishing license.....
I still don't agree that a tuna permit should carry special restrictions, but should be according to our recreational fishing license and nothing extra.
Because now a person who does not have a tuna permit and goes out to fish and has a line over 1.1 is a breaking the law and could be fined.....how stupid can that be.

Ghadni kemm cempilt lil Fisheries, biex nikjarifika punt numru 1. li jispecifika li l hadt tal hut ghandu jsir f 5 postijiiet msemmija.

Paul Carabott qalli li l hadt hemm biss jista jsir, u officer irid jara l huta nizla mid dghajsa f'dawk il portijiet imsemmija BISS.

Jien fehmtu li fil kaz tieghi huwa mpossibli li nohrog minn san pawl bdajsa 14 pied mutur 9.9hp u noqghod nitla l-Marfa, jew l-Port l Kbir biex nurihom il forsi tonnu li qed nohlom li ser naqbad bil licenzja specjali.  It-triq hi twila ghall xi hadd bhalli, u jekk iqum il-bahar, jien kif ser imurr lura mil belt ghall san pawl jekk jigi majjistral peress li mhux jaghmel rih din sena

Staqsejt ukoll, jekk bsunnara ta tonn wahda u nillixka huta, u nrejjex biha biss hux permisibli qalli ok, u nistghu nuzaw floats bhall fenders.

Ma kienx jaf distanza li iridu nzommu l-bod mill fishfarms.

Jekk jghogobkhom, is-sigurta fuq il-bahar tas sajjieda bhallna dilettanti tigi l-ewwel u qabel kollox, u nipretendi li jkun hemm officers san pawl jew fl akkwati fuq l-art biex nhottu hemm, jien hemm irregistrajt li nohrog fuq l-applikazzjoni.

Vera li din l-ewwel darba , imma biex snin ohra ntejjbu l-affarijiet ta sigurta wkoll.

@Albatross - Hija regola li tonn BFT irrid jigi 'landed' fil postijiet msemmija.  Dik hija regola tal-EU, u ma tistax iddur mahha.  Nifhem il-punt tieghek li b'opra ta 14 il-pied mghobbi b'xi tonnu tkun qed tilghaba jekk tmur il-Marfa jew il-Belt biex tirregistra t-tonn, umbghadd iqum il-bahar.  Imma habib, xini is-soluzjoni?
Insija li jizdiedu il-landing sites.  Mhux ser tigri din. Dawn il-landing sites registrati mal EU, u Malta tehel penali qawwija jekk tazzarda ma timxiex mar-regoli kif miftehma.  

Il-fishfarms huma koperti bir-regolamenti ta' Transport Malta.  Ma tistax tistad il-gewwa mill-konfini tal-kardinal points li jimmarkaw il-fishfarms.  Minghalija din id-darba ha jkun hemm habel idawwar il-farms.  Imma miniex cert.

Ghandek ragun tghid li s-sigurta tal-bahara dilettanti tigi l-ewwel u qabel kollox, u nippretendi li l-ewwel wiehed li jhares is-sigurta tieghu innifsu huwa l-individwu stess!

P.S. Qed naqra xi ktibt hawn, u marridx nigi interpretat hazin habib.  Jien imdorri niehu shieb lili inifsi.  Bl'ebda mod ma qieghed inkun arroganti mieghek, sempliciment irrid nghidlek li dejjem hu hsieb tieghek inifsek l-ewwel, u tistenniex lil haddiehor jiehu l-inizjativa.  Fl-opinjoni tieghi, ir-riskju hu f'idejk...opra ta 14 il pied bin-9.9HP hi naqra zghira ghas sajd tat-tonn.  Forsi zbaljat, ghax jista jkun li tajba...imma dik hija decizzjoni tieghek, ghax kullhadd responsabli ta ghemilu.
Insellimlek!

[baghira]

Xi hadd fehem ezatt x irkapti tista tuza?

Qasba, imma bil wieqaf? U liska tista tkun hajja jew friska?
Rixa, jigifieri miexi bil lure, imma tista twaddab fender? Mela fuq idejk, u harira 1.1 xi darba ser izzomm tonn jew?
Harpoon, imma bil powerhead? jew b virga normali u bla fender forsi naghmel l-iktar dive fonda f'hajti, u tkun l-ahhar wahda!!
X hin saqsejt ma hadt l-ebda risposta hlief li fenders u tankijiet ma jistghux jintuzaw, u bil brazzol biss ma tistax.
