Hi everyone. I'm Joseph from Qormi, age 23. A friend of mine suggested this forum as i'm brand new for spearfishing.
I'm trying to find some regulations about fish which can be speared, also lenght limits of captured fish. I only found

Good Morning to every body.

I'm Malcolm from Santa Lucia now living in Rabat and I am new to the forum.My primary hobby is hunting but I adore fishing and because hunting is not anymore a past time as it used to be, Now I am turning my attention to Fishing. I work as a droughtsman with the government. I joined a couple of days ago and looking forward to learn from you guys. I go mainly shore fishing.

Regards

Malcolm

Welcome to the forum Malcolm. We share the same passions of hunting and fishing but as you said, we are being limited all the time.

Hi All,

I am new to this forum and wish to introduce myself.

Age: I'm 26

Home Town: Mosta

Fishing Style: Harpooning / Trolling for Dorado, Tumbrell, Baracuda and similar fish.

Boat: 14 foot Silvercraft 25 HP Yamaha

I have known about the forum for years and actually opened this profile about a year or two ago but never actually posted anything or made use of the account. Now that a couple of friends of mine and I are going fishing more often I wish to get more close to the local fishing scene. I first heard about this forum while I was shopping at Mr Fish in Iklin.

Any questions please ask.

I have a question for anyone out there.
What is the best time of the day to fish for Lampuki?

Thanks
