I have just seen Ganni's photo in the gallery and was impressed at what he managed to catch with the mrejkba. I have an mrejkba which I put down twice but never caught anything. I used ckall once but not sure whether I attached it the rigth way to the hook and the second time I used gambli but still no results. Any experiences or suggestions someone?

d man to ask about imrejkba is spiru haha.
i dont think that was a really good catch, maybe next time we'll have better photos. we have used bibi. i think ckal is relly good, but you must put 2 on each hook, on the other hand i dont think gambli are really good. if you want to go for the best go for hniex tal imperjal. on that day no hniex was available due to d bad weather
it seems that nobody is interested gann,but nevermind the less people fishing for sargi the better,hehe.and by the way i'm no expert i have only been fishing with imrejkba for 18 years............
but nowadays fishing with this method is becoming more difficult due to the large number of buoys that are increasing every year
Hello spiru, Im very interested in this method of fishin would you mind giving me some tricks and tips so that i can get best results. Ex(bait,time,place,how etc.) thanks mate :)
sorry to say that nobody was interested cos i did not see jonathan's post and now lapsi boy.first to begin is to construct a simple imrejkba which can be made of bamboo sticks(preferibly),wood,or even plsatic pipes.this is a simple job and i am sure everybody knows what is an imrejkba.in short words it is like a small sailing boat to which you attach the bottom lines (konz) and it sails out in the sea pulling the line and hooks.
Now there are varios types of knuz one can use but in my opinion the best one is the floating one having a floats attached to the main line which must be that brown 2mm line which is bought in big rolls.in maltese we call it latz.svivels are attached to the brown latz and then the monofilament with hooks and a small weight.the only drawback is that if a boat passes through the line is cut because it is a floating one but i usually go when it is windy so boats rarley go out.i go fishing with imrejkba only at nghit and i use hniex ta l imperjal,bibi or pieces of klamari.after all the konz is out i wait about 75 minutes and i start to bring it in.i put my konz in a basket (the old method) but some people use a roll with all the hooks in it.
this is a very brief explanation but it is very difficult to explain by just writing in a forum
I think the imrejkba method requires a good wind knowledge ,knowing fishing places and their depths,and yes i requires great skill and practice to fish in the right depth according to your konz.my method that is (il konz fil bixkilla bil lazz u x xolfa kollox f daqqa) is not simple to bring it out without any tangles,and it is even not simple to fish succesfully for sargi with imrejkba but as they say practice makes perfect
10x spiru, Usualy how long do you make the (Brazzoli) for the konz tas sargi...is 3/3.5 fatoms enough ? I too have my konz in the bixkila the good old method :)
any clues regarding wind ???
U bilhaq spiru fixhin lahjar hin li inkala as sargi?
by the way spiru what is the best time to fish for sargi?
after sunset mate or else the bait will be eaten by bogue and other small fish.
the direction of the wind is important to know from where you are going to fish with the imrejkba rammx. if eg its NW (majestral) you cannot fish at armier
10x alot ganni, i think its a matter of trial and error!
i'm willing to start trying ;)
nmorru rammx ? ???
Shall we go rammx
immorru ta big boy!!! imhajjar sew ijed.. imma jekk ma naqbdu xejn issemmix sehta ax jkolna t trouble lol
Yep we go bigboy!!! i am really interested..but if we dont catch anything dont mention any jinks as we will have trouble LOL
filkaz issa nitkelmu u mmorru kolla ilna ma niltaqaw naqa :)
We can go together as its been sometime since we met :)
hemm hu niftemu xi haga u jiddeffes :P isma inmorru lapsiboy imma bil patt li namlulek it tape ma halqek eee :P
there he goes we plan something and he butts in:P yes we will go lapsiboy but the promise that we tape ur mouth eee :P
aw hbieb qed nibza min ganni ghax ghallimtu is sigrieti kollha ta l imrejkba u malajr jixrobhom dak u jsir ahjar minni ghax bejnietna gurdien xih dak.haqqni ghax ommi kienet tghidli "titkellem xejn ibni ghax jaqilbuielek"
apparti ic cajt qed niehu gost li ganni interessa ruhui hafna u qed jibda jaqbad ghax ghax xitwa sajda sabiha ferm,u nixtieq jekk hawn xi hadd jispeccjalizza fija l imrejkba jikteb is sistemi li juza, mhemmx ghalfejn isemmi postijiet.ghax ghar rixa jew harpoon hawn hafna tajbin f dan il forum imma l imrejkba qisu ma tantx hawn min jistadha
i am afraid of ganni as i thought him all the secrets and he will get better than me, as he is shrewd. well i deserve it as mum used to tell me to keep my mout shut.
joles apart its nice that ganni is interested as its a good way to fish in winter, and if there is anyone specialising in imrejkba please let us know about it, u dont have to mention places.there are lots of members who are good in trolling and or spearguns but it seems that no one fishes with the imrejkba
Jien darba ghamilt wahda bil kons tal qieh. Kont xoghol sal 10 ta flaxija. Hadt lil missieri hdejn it torri ta qalet marku, u hattejna kollox. Hallejtu jarma kollox biex meta nasal 10.30 nibdew inkalaw.
.
Meta wasalt insibu fit trieq jistennini bil kons fidu. Kien iddejjaq jistenna, u peres li kien rih tajjeb u sod, iddecieda li jkala il kons tal qieh wahdu minajr dak tas sufri. Beda jilliska ic-ckal u jkala sunnara sunnara. Meta wasal nofsu kien diga beda jhoss xi kahli maqbud. Fdaqqa wahda jhoss gibda kbira li gibditu min kokka ghal mintulu. Biex ma jitlifx il kons baqa jzomm sod u tilef nofs il kons bl-imrejkba u il-hut.
wara din ma ergajtx ghamilt imrejkba ohra, izda bdejt newden fuq daghajsa biex immur ghal dik il huta.
Ir risq l-ahwa, hudu pjacir, mohkom hemm li ma tweggux, u ixbdu r-ritratti ha turuna.
i did one once. I was working till 10 pm. I took dad to Galet Marku tower and unloaded everything. Left him there to get things ready so that when i get back at 10.30 we could start fishing
When i got there i found him on the street waiting for me with the fishing line in his hands. He got fed up waiting and since it was quite windy he started fishing on his own.
he baited and hooks and started to fish, when midway he already felt fish on the line. At one instance he felt a heavy tug on the line that got him face down on the ground. in order no to lose the line he held on tight but he lost half of it complete with the imrejkba as well as the fish.
After this i never made another one, i was more decided on buying a boat to go get that fish.
Good luck guys, enjoy, keep ur eyes open no to get hurt, and please snap a lot of photos so that u show us
i am also interested in this type of fishing.... seen it being done from the cliffs for lampuki... not interested there as i am scared of those heights. but its a fun way of fishing i suppose especially as Dwardu says with good company a pkt of twistees and a can of beer
Shanook they dont use the imrejkba from the high cliffs it's quite impossible..they use it from lower points...
I saw them using the mrejkba from the cliffs of mtahleb. And approx I think there are 6/7 storeys height underneath. I was impressed seeing an old man ( ithink he was 75 years old) that stayed exactly at the edge for around 2 hrs. Just seeing him I was feeling dizzy. Imagine doing it.
u got it right aab131.
Lapsiboy they use it from the cliffs and they catch fish as well. U should go one of these days its a bit late now but u might find someone still there. Ask Busu he will probably know if they are still fishing from there.
I was scared too aab131 seeing the fisherman right at the edge sitting down on the rockedge with their feet dangling down and lowering the mrejkba with lines. I had to move backwards and watch them from far off. Amazing what people do to fish.....
till last week they were still catching some nice lampuki from imtahleb
It could be..But what i mostly see is people fish from little cave/holes in the cliffs which they go down to by means of ropes ladder and passages and also the people that go from blata etc...From lapsi there are about 5 of the caves/holes i mentioned earlier..the only fishing i know that takes place from such heights is mtahleb where they cross an opening from side to side..Thats veru high ! im sure you'd reach terminal velocity if you where to fall off hehe ;)
Yes they do fish with imrejkba from imtahleb[migna ferha] for sure,even I went once with mine.
at mtahleb you can see these guys at 11.30pm already in place so they reach the best fishing post of the cliffs in the morning!!!
YES i used to do there but it is practicaly impossible to reach a good spot it seems that they live there.......:(
yes in fact some of them camp there. crazy stuff haha
True this summer ive been down there quite a bit...i slept there about 3 times...(in a room which is made by the fisherman) its public but i go there because i know 80% of the people there because people who they dont know i wouldnt recommend they sleep there because there are a couple of people who dont realy give a ''warm welcome'' hehe
Hey guys this wknd im hoping to go with the imrejkba for sargi...I need some help..where do you think would be an idle place..about 4-5 fatoms deep
If the wind will be NW as windfinder is saying i think cirkewwa wld be good. there is from 13-8m deep
Tommorow going to go to ghadira @ around 1 and spend a day fishing and launch the imrejkba at night 6-6.30..Guys that have an idea about this fishing method do you have any tips?? PLS ..im a begginer at imrejkba ...i have bibi and tumbrell and will be fishing for sargi ...40 hooks...Wish me luck hehe will keep u posted...:) 10q..Spiru if you see this can you tell me from where i go it to go to that place you told me ? from the parking of the hotel or?

Xi darba tigi tajba.
Good luck. Phalissa naqra busy, ghax kieku nigi naqra sa hdejk inzomlok kumpanija.
Grazzi ramio!..meta trid ibatli pm nejdlek fej inkunu u ejja ..Your more then welcome :)
LapsiBoy jiena u siehbi nidilettaw naqa blimrejkba, jekk jkollok bzonn xi haga tiddejjaq xejn u ibghatli.
Ghal dawk li andom hjil...Il konz tas sargi blimrejkba fdan iz zmien tax xitwa fliema hin lahjar li tkalah, jien smajt li @9 tyb..ghax jghidu li jek tkalah kmieni inaqrulek il liska hut iehor u fosi is sargi dak il hin ikun lizjed attiv (ma nafx jin)...u haga ohra kem lahjar li thalih? isu 45mins-1 hour?..10q...
@spiru, Ghax majlux kont ed naqra il posts ta limrejkba u rajt ''nixtieq nara lil xi hadd li jerqu il konz''...Majlux mort ic cirkewwa blimrejkba u intqajt ma wiehed qali jin bla sufri namlu il konz u il frijaj jamilom twal qama wahda, qali li ihalih jizaqaq umbad il latz. Ifimni nahseb dan kien jara naqa kbir ghax qali li ikala 230 sunnara u ihali 4 tiqjim bejn kull sunnara..tahseb li possibli minajr sufri spir? jin nahseb li difficili ghax 1) Bdik il kwantita ta snanar etc jinzel kollu mal qih u jehel
2) Jekk ikollu zaq kbira hafna qas timxi limrejkba bit toqol...
Jien bhal ma diga etlek ma nifimx fdin is sajda (qieghed nitghalem).
