We are trying to organize a Mulett Fishing Competition at Imsida.The competition will be open for Forum members only.We will fish in pairs and places will be chosen by POLZA.Anyone that is interested to come please let me know asap cause spaces are a bit tight.Will post later the date but the day would be a Sunday or a public Holiday for sure.
Great idea Kev, as a shore competition I'm sure not only will alot more people get involved but also alot more members can come and watch, meet everyone etc.
Aside from a camera, this might be a good one to get on Video, and then we do some editing down to the exciting parts! Would be even better if we had more than one video camera which would give a better chance of capturing the hook ups!
we re in 3. Count on us, me govanni and jean
I'm in kev. I will find a partner
Same here and probably also ForTuna will ;)
If space is limited maybe we can do it in doubles and change say every 1/2 hr.
7 and counting ;D
Chris 8)
I'm in too if there is still place.
Uh oh! He's gonna come with all his tackle and def out fish you all :p
hehe!
as i already told you kevin im in too.
if you want kaptan jr we can stay together
i'm in too but i would need a partner if its a doubles competion...i still do not know no one in here...
i would love to come and watch, see how its done, but where is imsida ?
I will enter and I will bring a partner myself.
I would like to join but since I work on shift basis it would be more practical for me if one announces on which date the competition will be held. What are the proposed dates?
I will join too. Any one wants to double up with me !!!!
im in aswell although im shit in mulett :P
hello guys me and sargu xih will take part but we need to know tha date when it will be organized. thanks
bigboy leave something for us at least we catch something
You have a good teacher bigboy don't worry and I believe that it will be fun meeting up just to catch some fish and not to win a competition and everyone can learn from each other.
Listen spitec you're from ghaxaq?
Listen guys, Can we be a group of example 4 people but only 2 of us fish ?
Your talking about mullets Lapsi boy, groups of two and we realise the fish after the competition
I think it's importnat that if we will be a lot of ppl at least the smaller ones for example under 200grms will be released. I will be fishing with my cousin. He's also a member but I don't know his login name since he rarely enters.
Personnaly if fishing in the port, I dont know why we not let them go back. The inportant is to have fun.
lets start with choosing a day, teams and no of comptitors
If you want to relewase them all it's not a problem for me since for sure I won't be eating them. First and foremost I don't like much mullet and second it's not the cleanest sea that one will find. A fish net to keep them alive and after weighing all released. ;)
I would like to participate if you organize a mullet competition. I even can help you out in organizing the event.
By the way, if any body is interested to participate in similar competitions, we as a club, Kingfisher Sports Fishing Association, organize a leauge for members and non members. It is based on 4 events during the year. This year all 4 are fished and the title has been assigned. We are preparing next years calender and one can get all the info from [color=blue]www.ksfamalta.org[/color]
It is a must that all mulett is released boys ;)
Ax meta ninzlu jien u kevin nistadu imbad ma jkolniex x naqbdu :P
jien u il kaptan Jr flimkien dehlin. xtahsebu kieku issir fdicembru fxi festa?? forsi fit 8

heq umbad min jista jista u min le le u. la ha jkun hemm hafna nies involuti zgur lli xi hadd ha johrog dizappuntat habba id data imma mhemmx xtamel
The date is set to 8th December,if canceled due to weather conditions we will move it on the 13th December.Both dates are public holidays.I am talking to the marina guys,so we will not have any trouble with them.Just getting permission from them.......if they tell me no i will still do it :D ;D Teams will be by 2 but o nly 1 can fish at a time due to lack of space.All mullets caught have to be released back after competition.Dont know if we are going to do a small fee or try and get some sponsors.This is on first come basis guys cause there is not that much space.If anyone has got small boats like 10 feet we will fish much better cause we can stay in the middle of pontoons without any trouble.
ok kev that's a great idea mate!!!!
i like to take part but leave me for last if u still got places....by the way i need a partner.
I'm in with Placebo if it's ok for him :P
Chris 8)
ok gazzetta deal done!
10 Euro on Placebo & Gazzetta to win, with Aab21 & partner to come in the first 3! ;)

fishing mullet in comps is very very hard! no matter what tackle and bait you are using sometimes mullet does not seem to be on certain pegs!
it's a matter of big luck so fingers crossed. The most important thing is that the forum guys meet once again to be amongst the best friends on the island!
cu guys ...... should you like i can try get some vouchers/ sponsors.
I am in most probably with a friend of mine that is a member of the forum but still fresh new[a couple of days].My opinion is that most of the fish are realesed and if someone wants to keep a few nice fish for him if they catch,may keep them and if only one member of the team can fish I think we can do it from the pier.@ D Sargus I am from Rabat and usually fish at Chadwick Lakes for goldfish,just joking my friend.
Guys, every one fish on his own technick. Can I bring my 6.5mm spear with me??? I can help better. I go down and tell you is there s fish or not
Guys, If only 1 person will be fishhing why cant the team be made out of 3 or 4 people ?
@Emic better not take care of your diving suit.If you dive there you would come up all oily,you would be good for frying.@ Lapsiboy-we are not gone make 24 hours fishing there and if someone likes fishing like me I would have prefered to make some 5 or 6 hours fishing myself but if the space is limited I would make a sagrifice and make some time watching.
that was the reason why even I suggested in two s
NOOO your not getting my concept...but for example usualy when i go fishing with camkev and bigboy i never fish (or just a couple of minutes AX Taqbizli) but i stay there for fun ..in the competition can we stay more than 4 people but only 1 fishes or is there a rule that says only 2 people together?
in my opinion a doubles competition is better. I don't think it will be a good idea if we are more than 2 because there will be not enough time for each participant to fish
do you think its gd if we do it on the 8th of december mates??
and i think a doubles competition is the best!!
Yes It would be OK for me so I am in, is there anyone that would want to pair up with me ;) . To let any partners that would like to join me I am not a specialist in fishing for mullet >:(. But I believe that it is always good to meet up with friends & enjoy a day's fishing ;D.
I am in with maltembu ok :)
Kevin will be fishing with his son
the idea of fishing doubles is great .... although fishing mullet is not advisable for 2 to fish near each other....but nevermind it will be much better in pairs as we will have more fun!!!!!!!!
it's important and we must be sure that there are places available to fish on pontoons....so CAMKEV you must do some good homework and plan accordingly.
I think we should make a deadline so that we know exactly how many participants are to be there

I am checking with the marina,cause there was a lot of empty spaces this week but they are all filling up with new boats again.If we dont have enough space we are not going to do it.The other option is fishing from small boats next to the piers.We will stay all in line.But dont know if any of you have tender boats which you can get without a lot of trouble.Or we change plae.
not so many places to do mullett fishing.
either MXLOKK maghluq or Birzebbuga and maybe MSKALA. The problem is that if we're going to have a lot of people fishing then for sure certain pegs might end up catching nothing....that's is mullet competition fishing.
What do you think of the pier just in front of the Busy Bee?
That is a very good pier man but they will tell us something for sure (ax hem erba min nies L**a hemm)
can we get some permit to fish there?
Still you cannot fish properly cause of the boats.We should see who can come with a boat there,even a very small one cause then we can stay in front of pontoons all in line without any problem.
8th Dec is great for me since it would be my off duty. If it's ok for tatanka he can pair up with me.
We are still working on it guys.Nothing confirmed yet :-\
Hear guys we can do it marsascala in the port near maluq....I think it will be a good spot there for mullet. If you can't get the permit to imsida i mean.
Didlodus Sargus is it still good there it's been some time I don't come to fish there?
we can also opt for fishing MXLOKK maghluq.
the place can cater to around 20 - 30 anglers.
I think the best alternative venue is Mxlokk after Msida since at Maghluq there just can only be 10 ppl fishing. It's quite small. Regarding Msida, if we like make it from Mamma Mia till the pier near Black Pier I think around 30 competitors will stay. Just an idea.
tajjeb ukoll hemm my friend, anzi ahjar ghax nipprovaw post gdid.
ahna xbajna naghmlu competitions il maghluq ta mxlokk dis sena u is snin ta qabel.
Listen spitec I havent tried for mullet in the area near maluq at marsa scala. But i heard people saying that it is a very good spot for that type of fish there. Dont know guys at the end of the day you have to decide......so the date will be 8th dec confirmed now....so we can book leave if possible.
I can confirm Diplodus Sargus that at Maghluq it is filled with mullet. The only problem is that apart from mullet u find also quite a big amount of ducks and apart from that the area is closed right now since it is infested with rats and they are placing quite a lot of poison right now. For me everywhere is ok, the importnat thing is that we have alot of fun..

suffrun sorry about that but i had allready PM'd Rammx due to I did not hear from anyone & he said that he is going to try & make it.
With regards to M'scala I think it wouldn't be that productive as I am always fishing in Marsascala near the used to be Jerma palace but I drive past the port & you always see fishermen there at this time of year & all they catch is very small fish including mullet ( do not know how they can keep the fish as it is a waste unless they feed cats with them ) always small , I can not remember when I saw someone catch a deacent size mullet. The only thing they do sometimes catch is xilep all weather dependant.
I stongly recommend San Gorg, Birzebbugia. Presently there are some nice sized mullet
tajjeb birzebbuga ukoll
hi guys, does anyone wont to pair up with me for the competion. One word of advice I am no expert but enjoy fishing for mulett.
hey Tatanka i know the place you are mentioning there near germa. I used to go there near kamra tal melh but notthing special. I never caught notthing from there. Only small sparli that i realese back because killing them is insane hehe. Once i had seen an AJ when i was spinning there but it didnt hit my bait.
Suffrun, We can pair up togheter if you wish, for this competition. I'm free.
Placebo is getting more & more excited about this competition as the date approaches, I might even up the stakes to 20 euro on a "Team Placebo" win! ::)
blueskip
lol blueskip!
it's a shame you are not here!
mulett75, thanks and yes sure why not. By the way has a place been decided where the competition might be held? I never fished in B'Bugia but it seems that it is an ideal place to hold the competion.
Presently the only place that we might get a fishing session for mullet is at San Gorg in Birzebbugia. This year we have done 4 compettions for mullet at Marsaxlokk and the catches were not very good. By the way we always release the fish caught. No exeptions. I wish that this competition will be on catch and release basis. I can offer to bring over all neccessary basic things, such as pegs sacle etc..
sorry just but why don't you organize it at mgarr... ghawdex?? you won't worry for mullet there for sure
Yes it's true Granitu, Mulett at Mgarr Gozo at least till last April was full abundant over there, but it's a bit of a hassle to go to Gozo.
hey guys im inn too if theres still place.. :)
Have a decision been takem regarding the place and starting time?
i suggest we make a meeting like you did with the boats competition then we decide.
Ejja bigboy u Cankev, we need a place and date to meet so we can discuss further about this event.
If we meet at filfla does it sound good hehehe ;D ;D
if you want we can meet in msida like we did in the trolling competition.
Fejnhu l organiser ?????
Btw placebo jien kif dhalt flistorja :P ??
next friday at 7.30 imsida gd??
jst like we did in the trolling competition, nobody seemed to find any difficulty regards time, day and location, so why not do the same this time??
u ejja bigboy minghajrek ma naghmlu xejn...heggu naqra inti lill dak in nofs ras halli namluha ghax hawn hafna gejjin qisu!
mietet jew?? insejtuwha il competition??
Aw siehbi,difficli biex namluwa l imsida.Tal marina qaluli li ma hemmx postijiet vojta.Ma nafx jekk hemmx xi post iehor tajjeb.Jien ghadni nahseb imma mandiex risposta sissa.
Namluwa Mxlokk tghid kev ? Alija xorta l aqwa li ssir ax aw naqa entuzjazmu sabih fuqa !!
Chris 8)
I think M?Xlokk is good place as there is quite a descent stretch for everybody. At the end of the day we can all spend some time fishing & get to know each other. By the looks of things there are quite a few that are interested.
Nahseb hemm tajjeb ghax hemm medda sewwa, u ahna f lahhar min l ahhar mhux biex nghaddu ftit hin flimkien u insiru nafu lill xulxin. U mid derha ghawn ftit mhux hazin min u interessat biex jigi.
GUys about 3 weeks ago I went for mulett in m xlokk and only caught 2 bubin ;- but if you want to make it there don't worry mates. As tatanka said we gather up for fishing for fun and to know each other also
jekk mxlokk qed tireferu ghal bicca tal-maghluq, kull ma nista nighdilkom li din is sena kienet veru fqira ghal mullett fejn snin ohra, gieli hadt siegha dis sena imma pjacir imma bil lejl; u xejn ta barra min hawn lanqas. Min ma certu lanec qed inizlu nases ghax gieli inzertajtom itelahom mimlijin bil bubin u donnu il mullett imdaqqas naqqas sew (ma nafx jekk hux din ir raguni, fil verita).
mulett hemm mxlokk.... nahdem il hdud hemm u narhom jistaduh imma mnaffar wisq ax:
jistaduh bil kupara
jitfaw nases u pariti
fishfarm ta bbugia ma tghinx anqas
allura mulett sabih izomm il barra... infatti narahom hafna jistadu ghal mulett bid dghajjes b rizultati tajbin

good job, we r in
thats great. Hope weather will be fine for this event.
Hi Charlie thanks for the offer to organise and donate to the forum. We can take some pics, vids etc and make a good day of it.
It my pleasure to do these kind of things, especially where fishing is involved. There is also interest in this competition from members of KingFisher as it is a new concep of Doubles Mulett Match. Hope we enjoy the day together. See you there. Hope other forum members will come over, just to get to know morec each other.
please where abouts in marsaxlokk.
near d playing field on the side of the power station there's an area called il-maghluq. U won't miss it. If u have a low lying car better to enter by foot since most probably u will leave half of ur car on d way. ;)
We will meet near the pontoons (il maluq). If there will be no place where to fish we can go on the front as it will be Monday and the monti people will not be present.
Is this still confirmed and on for Monday?
Up to now it is still on, up to my knowladge.
sorry for asking but who are the monti people, its dumb i know but i am learning.
The guys who run the market. The market in Maltese is called the Monti!
Yes the open market in maltese is called Monti
Well done Mulett75. I hope to pop over just to encourage u guys.GOOD LUCK TO ALL and on the side dont drink too much beer as the weight needle is small...enjoy guys
How many are taking part in the competition just for keepsake
Me and my buddy should still take part.
I do not know how many teams are coming, but if we will be 3 or 4 teams fishing we will be still on. At least it will be the first one and for sure not the last. See you there
mulett75 did u sent pm to all the ones showing interest that its on for Monday the 8th and location?
done mulett i just sent to all that showed interest during the discussion
i'm in. i will try to find a partner in time.
i would come if i could but with the limited time i have i will be at gozo doing what i do best
partners can be formed over there as well placebo I suppose dont want to interfere with the organisation but.......We are a family no...
I'm coming for sure so count me in.
I agree with you shanook we are one big web family.I am coming surely and we see what happens there but we will be fishing forsure.
Ther is no interfere with the organisation, in maltese they say "L-GHJNUNA ANKE F'IKEL TAJBA" Translation HELP EVEN IN FOOD IS GOOD. We meet and any body who wants to give a helping hand is more than welcome.
What about tomorrow? No more people are taking interest?
I hope that the competion is still on???

The only thing we need is a contact number of Mullet75 or Placebo (if coming) in case people get lost. I have to stop by work in the morning even though it's a hol but will be down on location around 9.30-10am
good luck to all taking part, i will be there as a spectator and taking photos.
In case someone needs to contact me my number is 99456088
who is coming tomorrow????????
me and ramio will pop over to support and maybe take a bit of video to show on MFF.
How did you go mates???? Cause I couldn't attend
Any news about the competion ??? any nice catches??
Eeeeeeeeeeeeee Kaptan Jr minn joqod ma jaqbatx hut. ;D ;D ;D
hehehehehe u bhalissa busy jien bhal qniefed naghmel fix xitwa hibernation as sajf!!!
Wasn't that bad (for me) I got around 15 mullets one of which was good size. As an event, we expected more competitors. We were 4 teams but all in all we spent some time together doing what we like to do best.
Well done to the four teams who took part today, was great to see you all fishing. Not being a person who does shore fishing I certainly noted that you guys too have alot of equipment and technique and the way you are set up plays for more of a role in this type of fishing than offshore. With the limited number of fish around port area's this certainly was a challenge for all those taking part.
And at the end after the photoshoot and filming from Shanook all the fish were released.
Well done Charles for keeping this one going and taking charge to make it happen. I just went through the posts from the start and there was alot of enthusiasm from several people, I counted at least another 6 some of whom said they were six teams, but who then went all quiet when the date approached and didn't attend. Perhaps something came up or perhaps they decided the venue was too far to go to, but it was disappointing if that's the right word to use that those who started off this then didn't take part!
Still it was a nice day and even nicer to see teams out taking part in what they enjoy doing.
We enjoyed ourselfs a lot caught a few fish and talking with other members of the forum,smoked a few fags and it was really nice weather.Thanks to everyone who came to support us.
good day ..... thanks and well done to all those who came up with their support.
Good to hear you all had fun.Sorry but couldn' attend :-[.And i couldn't post cause my pc is going bonkers......maybe to much p... ;)
I did nt attend cos of personal reasons. Sorry for that

Same here guys, I informed Placebo aswell as we had to be partners so that he could find someone else.
Chris
it was a great day and i really enjoyed myself. Mullet75 is a great guy and he tought me how to make farka, now its my turn to make it and see how I do! Anyway guys it was nice meeting all you guys.
Well done to all teams, organisers and those supporters. The pictures I took during the event have been posted on the gallery under "forum events/ mulett competition" enjoy. Anyone who wants to add the names, and comments please do so, as I'm not good in remembering names.
I wish to thank everyone for yesterday. It was fun getting knowing u. Unfortunately after competition I couldn't stay but well done to everyone. Suffrun learn how to make it the farka and 4 sure u will see also an increase in catches(u had a very good coach in mulett75-during this last year he showed me quite a number of things) and someday or another for sure u will find them at hand. btw nice photos. Kollha ha taqilbulu l-Cancu.
sorry to be a pain, but what is farka, any tips and info would be great.
Courtesy of KSFA Malta:
?Farka? : The best mullet bait secret.
"Method:
First and foremost the bread roll has to be the type rolled in snail shell form, one which has been formed in the shape of a snails shell. Fresh and cooked at the bakers, place the fresh roll in luke warm water and let the roll absorb the warm water, one can also use warm milk. Once soaked remove roll from liquid and without damaging the roll gently squeeze the roll between your hands slowly and gently removing the access liquid. Open out the dough to its original shape before its was formed into a snail like roll. This should look like a long sausage form length of dough. Prepare a dry towel and wrap the dough into the towel gently removing more of the liquid absorbed by the bread. Remove from the first towel and wrap into a second towel, leave roll wrapped in towel, place into a plastic bag and put into the refrigerator over night. The result will be a long length of stringy bread, with your fingers pick and pull a short length of this bread and hook it onto your hook as you would hook a worm. Leave some extra length hanging below the hook. The bread becomes very rubbery like when left overnight in the fridge and is presented excellently in the sea. Use the remaining liquid \ milk to add to your ground bait.
Try this, it really works well, as good as if not better than fresh sliced bread pinched on the hook. Which by the way is my second best option. It takes a while to get it right but once you get used to it you will not go back to anything else.
Tight lines
Steve Johnston Malta."
Very good explanation rammx but it's a bit complicated this...What you can also do is buy a french sliced bread (tat toast) and either soak in some water and press on a dry cloth..then cut into small strips and leave in fridge overnight or else do this without refridgerating overnight (On the place where you would be fishing) ..then roll the strips up with your fingers and pass the hook trough it. good luck
Tight lines
thanks for speedy reply, i have heared of that type of bread, but not seen any yet, will give it a go when i do.
best bread that u can use for farka are those "immaljati". If someone can translate the word "immaljati" is better since I don't know it in english
Try to post a picture Aab131 when you will be using it again so everyone will understand the type of bread.I can't help since I don't use it and never did it.

best bread that u can use for farka are those "immaljati". If someone can translate the word "immaljati" is better since I don't know it in english
Immaljati in english is woven!....but i don't think this applies to what you were trying to express here. try elaboraating further what you mean.
The type of bread they are refering to is made from more than one strip of dough, usually three. They are woven (maljati) just like girls do with their hair. The loaf resembles a braided line when finished. The baked bread once soaked can be, with a bit of patience , un-woven into the original rolls of dough. These can be used as bait once processed as mentioned above.
Imaljati could also mean plats...

?Farka? : The best mullet bait secret.
"Method:
First and foremost the bread roll has to be the type rolled in snail shell form, one which has been formed in the shape of a snails shell. Fresh and cooked at the bakers, place the fresh roll in luke warm water and let the roll absorb the warm water, one can also use warm milk. Once soaked remove roll from liquid and without damaging the roll gently squeeze the roll between your hands slowly and gently removing the access liquid. Open out the dough to its original shape before its was formed into a snail like roll. This should look like a long sausage form length of dough. Prepare a dry towel and wrap the dough into the towel gently removing more of the liquid absorbed by the bread. Remove from the first towel and wrap into a second towel, leave roll wrapped in towel, place into a plastic bag and put into the refrigerator over night. The result will be a long length of stringy bread, with your fingers pick and pull a short length of this bread and hook it onto your hook as you would hook a worm. Leave some extra length hanging below the hook. The bread becomes very rubbery like when left overnight in the fridge and is presented excellently in the sea. Use the remaining liquid \ milk to add to your ground bait.
Try this, it really works well, as good as if not better than fresh sliced bread pinched on the hook. Which by the way is my second best option. It takes a while to get it right but once you get used to it you will not go back to anything else.
