[bigboy]

Granitu meta tkun mignun fuq is sajd qed nejdlek ma tatix kas l ispejjes. Jien allahares nikkalkula kemm nonfoq ax kiku niggennen. Jien ghalijja s sajd huwa hajti. Ma noqodx minghajru ghax huwa delizzju li vera nistrieh bih. Jien ili nistad min mindu kelli 3 snin ghaxkont inmur man nannu. Illum se nalaq 17 il sena u aktar ma nmur aktar igennini s sajd. Jien nistad kwazi b kollox u ghal kollox. Din is sena sa hansitra se nipprova inmur ghat tonn fej il fish farms ta san pawl ax nixtieq naqta xewqti u nara li vera jaqbdu t tonn min hemm. kif ukoll tkun ferha ghalija li ndahhal tonna mieghu fuq id dghajsa ta 13 il pied li ghandi

post tajjjeb iehor  al sajd bil lure huwa il birgu fejn il club tar reggatta...in my opinion  ahjar inkun safe u huta ingiba bla hafna biza li taqtali milli noqod ikun aktar fin...wara kollox jekk twahhal xi plamtu .........ma tantx hija easy biex iggibu fuq  xlif .25mm jekk ma tkun naqa kalm ax najd alija jin nitfelfex x hin inkun wahhalt huta!!!pls tuni naqa tarif dwar il flurocarbon ax jin qatt ma wzajtu?kif ikun?issib kull tip ta hxuna?

[Granitu]

apparti l flus, l fluro carbon huwa invisible fl ilma ghas semplici raguni li ghandu l kwazi istess refractive index ta l ilma allura bilkemm jidher u la ahna u anqas l hut ma narawh

prezz gholi, l aqwa fluorocarbo jien ghalija huwa s samurai, jappunizi ta veru. anke prezzu 50m kien xi lm9 nahseb

veru bigboy allahares nghodd kemm nonfoq flus fuq sajd, nahseb iktar worth fuq flus inpejjep ghax irhas.... imma fejn nista niffranka.

consider stretch too, mono ghandu ahktar stretch minn fluro

flurocarbon ssibu kwazi kull hxuna, hawn coated u full

[bigboy]

Bil pacenzja tamel kollox boneshaker. jien accola ta 4.5kg gibta fuq 0.25 u dik tigbed. Kont qijed inrejjex al kahli s sajf li ghadda bil qasab tar rukkell fini u wehhilt l accola. ghamilt xi 3 kwarti nithabat maghha ax ma riedet tigi bxejn imma bil pacenzja labt maghha u kif waslet mad dajsa tajta l ganc.

hey guys,

yesterday i went spinning for cuda at san pawl taht il-gillieru. sea and wind were very calm.

as setup i used what granitu suggested.

i started spinning at about  7. i spent more than 2 hrs without seing anything. then i saw a small cuda chasing my lure but without sucess. then when it was dark at about 9 i was spinning at a fast pause slow pause fast retrieve and i felt a constant wieght. i thought it was a plastic bag or something but as soon as i raised my rod something was pulling and pulling taking line. after about 30sec the fish managed to get away leaving me empty handed. i couldn't believe it...i thought i would finallt have caught my first cuda and then i lost it :S

tough lines...luck is truly not by my side...

Do any of you know where they are catching at the moment?

regards
kris

Kris right now you can find cudas everywhere as everywhere is full of them. Have you ever tried next to fort st elmo? very close to the brake water??? i find that area very good for cudas. The area is known as il fossa. it is easy accessible from the maqrsamxett area in valletta and you can park your car exactly where you are fishing. You may also encounter an accola or a plamtu. Tight lines mate and good luck im sure that the next time you will go you will return with your prized cuda

[kris]
