Hi all....
I am new to the world of fishing...But it's never to late.
I own only a rod with a reel at the moment and just clocked only
a few hours in fish and spent a lot of money, which eventually they ended
in the see. ( not the fishing rod. till now !!)
I am searching for some tips... just to get going as I think for sure I am
doing something wrong as night after night I go empty handed ( or Malta is out of fish. hope not)
It seems a good way to spend some good alone time and away from hectick never ending days.
Hope help is not far..
Happy fishing to all...

Welcome to the forum. Have a read through the topics on shore fishing here http://maltafishingforum.com/talk/index.php/board,61.0.html

Perhaps you can also open a New Topic there and post what your current set up is, specifically what line you have and thickness, how you've rigged up, where you've been trying and what bait you have been using.

Hi,

I have just returned from a week on Gozo, if the fishing there is anything like Malta's there is no way there is a lack of fish. I was very lucky in as much as I had 38 Awrat over 1kg, and numerous other fish. I was using size 14 hooks on 3kg hook link (sorry dont know the diatmeter of the line, I just work in breaking strain) I was fishing below a float about 1 - 2 meters deep. I was using fresh shrimp, bread, dried worm and rubber worm (brought with me from the UK) I also spent time spinning, early morning, for baracuda. I had one take, two follows but did not manage too land one, maybe next time.

I hope this helps, if you want any more info, if you PM me I will try and help. Good luck, all the best and tight lines.
