i cast out as much as i can. reell in slowly and keep a sharp eye for any garfish following your bubble float. You have to be very careful about this as sometimes the garfish leaves only a small trace when followin the bait.

when you notice the bait being followed stop reeling and give a chance for the fish to eat the bait. Then slowly strike. If you're using the correct bait and type of hook size 90 out of 100 you'll have a good strike!

is it possible to catch garfish from cliffs???....i frequently see large shoals...

[placebo]

yes it is.......a bubble float will do magic!

just use a little heavier rod and 0.16 terminal on hook.

Hey gozitano, wellcome in thsi forum first of all.

Can you post yours pls http://maltafishingforum.com/talk/index.php?topic=903.0


This year it looks like very good for them. When I use to make some dives withthe cliffs, I always seeing big shoals of very nice ones.

[MartinB]

Im seeing quite a few large shoals of imsell at the moment too...in fact i may just go for a session from off the rocks,or maybe even try a small lure (like pins minnow) as there are some large ones around! As i mentioned they are one of my favourite fish to eat 

[rammx]

excuse my ignorance in spinning...so you can spin from shore for imsell with an artificial lure??

[MartinB]

Yes you can,in fact i have recently started to get alot of takes by very small imsell whilst spinning for 'cudas & on one occasion about 2 weeks ago i caught a small imsella (only about 12cm in length!) on a 55g metal lure!!!
That was one hungry little fish 
But you will definetly have a much higher catch rate using bait & the mothods mentioned here....but im a spinning fanatic personnally, and like i mentioned i have seen some decent sized imsell around lately and i think they would be alot of fun on light spinning gear

Today I managed to catch a few in the afternoon from cirkewwa 21 with a 5meter pole it was really fun seeing their action but at 16:00 it started to get too windy and headed back home.

[MartinB]

Well done Spitec! thats how i like to catch them with a small pole and you can see them biting!! 

[SPITEC]

They make you swear,they take the bait run for half a meter with it and they don't swallow it and let it go and if you try to strike it falls off.

I don't usually give them a chance to run with it! Just as soon as they turn to run or moves  immediately strike but slowly (small tap) and it usually gets them...also i like to use No.12  long shank hooks for them..its one of those fish where you need to catch a few to get back into the rhythm of them,especially me as i only go once in while for them now,but when i was a kid i used to go crazy for them!!!!

[busumark]

spitec you have to give the strike the opposite way that they are swiming with the bait. usually if you do like this you dont miss one
