Question about bait and Method

[intermilan]

Can somebody help me.

I would like to fish with Gambli or squid as bait.

I will be fishing in the Armier/Marfa area.

Now, is Kahli , Awrata bottom feeding fish or do you have to fish for them with a running float or a fixed float? is Gambli and squid good to use as bait for these types of fish?

I will be fishing with a reel and not close to land as I like to cast out in deeper water.

What is the best setup for this? I usually use the PATERNOSTER method

[Simon G]

the best method for kahli is the bombarda a slow sinking weight awrat are bottom fish

Would anyone know were to by ckall from in the South of Malta. As I used to know a friend that used to make them but he is too busy with his full time job now.

[SPITEC]

I heard that police went to stop the people who catch ckall because its illegal!!! ckall is a type of crayfish mike.d

[Tatanka]

Thanks for that info SPITEC  , do not want to going around villages asking for illegal bait. At the end of the day fishing is were I want to be    not behind bars

[Tatanka]

Usually Mr Fish has Xkall on Tuesdays about 4cents maltien. a little expensive if you buy alot..........but they are good.

The trick is that you hook the xkall from their tail so that you don't kill them whilst fishing

As Kaptan Jr said you have to call MR Fish first to check if he has in stock otherwise Bibi or hniex tal-korea are also ideal.

5 cents maltese-12 euro just bought them this week,too expensive

[kris]

yes camkev they sell at 5cents maltese. sometimes he will have just very small ckall and they sell for the same money.

Roots Paola also have Ckal - phone number 21677285

IMHO and for how much it counts,  for the price they are selling ckall I would preefer to buy a hniex tal-Imperjal. It holds better when doing long casts and it is a very good bait. Sometimes ckall tends to come off the hook when casting.
