Hi all,

I am new to this forum so I?d like to introduce myself:

My name is Christian, I am from Naxxar. I have found this very interesting forum using Google. Currently I don?t own any boat but wish to own one in the near future. I am interested mainly in bottom fishing and in the last few weeks I have tried twice some spinning from shore. I don?t go fishing very often, but I always do my best to do so when I have some free time.

Thanks,
Good day!

Welcome to all new members

chrifene · September 22, 2009, 19:49:30 CET

thanks spitec and alfadelta, well I generally go fishing from land with the rod & reel, mostly using paternoster rigs. I don't go fishing regularly as I already said, some of my catches include:sparli, pagell, serran, marzpan, burqax etc.

Hello folk, my name is John and I am from England.

Along with my son I am coming on a holiday in Bugibba.

We would be grateful if anybody can tell us where is the best spots for shore fishing.

Have checked out the charters but they cost too much, I have posted in the share cost section but so far no reply.

What we would like to know also is do you have to buy a licence or can you just fish off the harbour wall.

Some countries do not allow fisherman to give their catch away, what are the rules and regulations on Malta.

Welcome

You can fish with no licence but I would advise you have a look at the Local Fishing Regulations on the forum so you can get an idea of minimum sizes.

You can catch and release or catch and eat, but you cannot catch and sell.

Alot of people have taken their boats out the water at the moment due to the bad weather. By all means post a reminder in the cost sharing section.

sir j0hn · September 27, 2009, 20:31:04 CET

Thank you Skip.

We are coming 8th to 22nd November, hopefully the weather will be better then.

Will read up on the rules and regulations.

Hi all,

I should have posted here first so here is a belated introduction.

As my title suggests I'm Alan and I live in Brighton uk!

I do mainly boat fishing as I have a small shetland boat that I get out on as often as possible (weather permitting!!).

I also do charters about once a month to get out to the deep wrecks that are too far for us to attempt in a 17 ft boat and to go for the bigger Pollock and Cod.

My mum lives in Melliha so I get out to Malta as often as possible and absolutly love the place, friendly people, nice weather and no thoughts about work!

I'll be over on the 25th of Oct for 10 days and would love to get a line wet whilst I'm there so anyone who knows of a charter that may have a space or could just give me some advice on how to fish from the shore in the North of the island please give me a shout.

I've seen some great posts on here and would like to be able to contribute at some point in the future.

Alan.

Hi Alan,
I do cost sharing trips, similar to chartering, only you pay much less. My boat is a 26' Trojan sportsfisher. You say you'll be in Malta on the 25/10, for 10 days, so I'm sure we can find a weather window open to go out for Lampuki...
Lets keep in touch, and I'll let you know.

Alan - Brighton · October 15, 2009, 17:03:17 CET

Hi Gaffer,

That sounds perfect, not sure how to pm on here yet but will when I can I'll drop you my number.

Thanks.

Alan

Hi guys, I guess I'm the newest newbie around here...

My name is Jamie and I'm 21 years old, from Rabat.
I love fishing but up till now I have only done shore fishing for small fish. I joined this forum as I'd like to go after bigger fish and learn how to properly use the reel and the respective baits. I dont have a boat so my fishing is limited to the shoreline unfortunately

So anyways, hello to all and cheers for the wonderful forum :p
