Night boat fishing from a 13ft boat powered by 9.9

Hi Guys,

I would like to try night fishing from the boat and as a try I will go in the port. I would like some tips on what type of fishing I could use ex: deep fishing (ghal tall qiegh) or maybe trawling for lizz or some other type of fish? If I do bottom fishing what bait should I use? I go bottom fishing with the boat usually during the day and use Shrimps. Are they still good for night bottom fishing? And also what line should I use for night fishing? I will be going with a small 12feet aluminum boat powered by a 9.9.

Thanks!

a 12 footer with a 9.9 is ideal for night port fishing. you can easily go in restricted areas without being noticed. if you find a well lightened place by spotlight you can spend a whole night teasing barracudas with lures and it can be well productive. menatime if u intend bottom fishing you can use a pater noster rig 0.20mm ideal for ports and use ragworm as bait (hniex tal kaxxa) u can also use yabbies (Ckal) or other baits such as hniex tal imperjal. i prefer ckal and hniex tal kaxxa for night port fishing.

port fishing in night can be very entertaining ... we do some good catches in birzebbuga.

Thanks for the reply! Sounds intresting

. sounds nice the barracuda fishing! I dont have a lure for then yet so what size and type do you suggest?

there's a whole lot of lures good for barracudas. just go for a 10cm size and try out different colours and models.

you can also try live or dead bait there are some videos on you tube on how to set them up.
