I was there gazzetta that day at sliema...I saw the splashes around that time but I had already packed and was going up the stairs to the car. Yesterday even if it was very windy I retried but no luck.

hey guys....listen, what would be an ideal lure length to catch cudas? ~10cm or ~15cm ones? or somewhere in between..? cos till now, the only time a cuda chased my lure was around 5.30am, with a yozuri pink back with shiny sides, ~15cm. .....but still i tried with the others i have...but with no luck

would the lure better be surface lure or diving? i have a collection of both surface n diving.


maybe the place i'm going is not that populated with cudas.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.  Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

Men and fish are alike.  They both get into trouble when they open their mouths

Fava this is not a very good time for cudas just a few running about.Tha best lures are from 9cm to 12cm and surface for early morning and divers for when you can see well.
FISHING IS THE BEST HOBBY AND IT'S GREAT FOR RELAXING

spiru

iuse 13cm usually but lately i am trolling also with an 18cm rapala and with good results ghax il lizz jara kbir u anke wiehed ta 500gr jattakka emnunni

i did some night fishing in Ras hanzir....but that was some 6 yrs ago when no one knew about spinning!

we used to have loads of fun! one night i caught around 15 and i had some fun!

it's been a long time since i tried some night fishing for cudas but as i told u they used to bite in ras hanzir as the plcae was always lightened up by ship's floodlights!

this year i caught some barracudas but that was on my boat from freeport area (just under the huge cranes lights). It was during the night.

this time around i notice that barracudas are not biting any more....infact last saturday i didn't get even one bite!



the fishing gods might have something for me tomorrow I'll be fishing

i WAS using the 13cm yozuri redhead spiru until yesterday ax sparat ruha f'nofs ta bahar! No cudas and minus one lure! Xtamel lol?

Went for a walk @ Tigne point and Cudas were there again !!!  Also there was a guy fishing for them with a suface popper but had no strikes at least when I was watching him !!

When cudas starting jumping out of the water it means that they are hunting right ???
So what's the reason they don't point rapalas ?

The reason is they just came out of Harvard mate :/  they got a diploma in "You no fool me"

today only 1 strike from zurieq (with the boat) and the barracuda was under 1kg
