can someone tell me what's the best bait for night fishing 'xkall' or 'hanex ta l-imperjal'
depends where you're fishing my friend. both are very good but it really depends on the type and where you will be fishing.
i prefer to use ckal in ports and imperjal in outer open seas. Although inports imperjal is also a good bait!
It also depends on how far out you'll be casting. Imperjal let you have longer casts without being hooked off!
thanks friend i think i go for imperjal because it more easy to find buying it than xkall and if i understood your advice the imperjal is your preference
i prefer ckal as i fish mainly inports with rods.
I only use imperjal when i decide to do long casts and leave the rod by it's own for some long time. In this case i target bigger fish!
l-imperjal is great... dough i prefere using a pice of suqid
Squid is always squid maxxat ;) We catch those beauties on squid hehehe
Yepp... i think squid is one of the best tackles once it is fresh. :)
Did anyone try squid for beachcasting?I never tried it,always used hniex ta l-imperjal.
Has anyone gone night fishing latley ? I am just back from abroad & wondered how has the weather been treating you the past 2 weeks. Hopefully will try tomorrow but all depends on the weather of course. i might have to end up in the Harbour.
go to the in shore fishing gallery and you will see very interesting photos about recent night fishing
Yes have just checked them out, seems to have been quite an active couple of weeks. It looks like there is alot of Imsell (garfish) around this year. Might give that a try tomorrow.
Is anyone able to tell me how the weather is up in the North. As looking at going fishing tonight & it looks a little bit rough still. It is meant to die down this evening but just wanted to check.
Spent a whole night yesterday , nothing special just 4 Sargi & a small morina but it was still good , plenty coffee too :D Anyone else had a session yesterday night ? ( I mean fishing) Any luck!!!!
My friends are spendin nearly every day night fishing. Not so bad. Last catch (thursday) 5.5kg sargi.
Can anyone advise if they are expiriancing the same as me in the South of Malta. I normally go fishing at about 10:00pm & starts of with a few bites but about midnight there is not on single bite untill 4:00am. just wondering if anyone is catching fish between midnight & 4:00am. Only asking so I will change my fishing times.

I think that from 1am till 4pm it's the worst time for night fishing, at least that's what experience told me. I was saying that to ForTuna yesterday and that's what happened, Catches from 7 - 12, no hits from 1 - 4, catches from 4 till 6.
NB we were @ Ghadira so it's not a south problem.

till 2 wks ago we were doing night fishing and enjoying it, nothing special but you get the occasional nice sargu.... now for the last 2 wks it's been a disaster, no bites at all! same place, same bait, same people....... we are very dissapointed.... i think its still good time for night fishing in october..... we do go late nearly at midnight so if some people are encountering same problem maybe we agree.... but then again, we were catching fish before at the same time, during hte night! cheers to all!
Yesterday went out by boat from 9:00 till 4:00 and we didn't catch more than 10 fish, pagell sparli and 1 pagru, not even 1 sargu. It's been a while since the last time I went out night fishing but I never recall having such a bad night.
