Has anyone ever tried Kite fishing here in Malta.... Its my new plan for next Sep-Oct........ any ideas? :)
that would be nice. I once saw a documentary on this but the only I remember is that they caught some imsell
imsell...... dak nuzawh lixka xbin irridu lol.... i bought the kite from the uk.... and i'm gonna try fish for lampuki from cliffs with it... issa naraw.
robby I am no expert but kindly keep in mind the 'ziffa ta l-art" that is cause by high temperatures on land that rises that creates a space for the colder air on sea to enter. Hence the 'ziffa tal art'. This swell is always seen to blow wind inland irrevelant of the conditions and it is mostly visible (or feel the effect) in no wind conditions.
Yes i know... the good thing is, if im not mistaken, the kite will perform well with winds i quote the description
Quotecan fly in the lightest winds whilst being able to fly in winds of up to 40 knots
so, jekk ikun xi forza 3 sa forza 6, zgur m'hemmx problemi... ax it tajra ser titla fil gholi.
it would be nice to see someone try a completely new method of fishing. Well done robb
issa naraw ux... xi zewg ritratti nigbdu ta, nispera ma narax xi tilja tajr issa meta immur biha jien imma... lol :P
Ara ma narawkx sejjer il monti il Belt filghodu flokk ta Marsaxlokk. u flokk scales tal hut naraw rix ;D ;D
Nicajta.
Pero ir rih huwa allejat ta min juza aktar
jien mux tajr bhala ghasafar ed nghid imma nara hafna nies jistadu bi tajra! (kite=tajra)
u le skont kemm tkun effetiv ux............. ;)
hawn mux hekk ahna pero kollox furja habib.
Dan bhal lampuki l-ewwel hadd wara santa Marija ghal kull cima jkun hemm bastiment
Ive seen some clips on Youtube of this method and im sure it would work here especially during the lampuki season (sort of like an mrejkba in the air ;D) but how effective it is would be down to the skill of the person flying the kite.It looks easy on the videos but like alot of things in life that look easy they usually end up being quite difficult!
Put it this way its been a LONG time since i flew a kite so id probably end fishing on the land and catching very angry fisherman instead of fish!!!! :D
b'din imorru l blata martin, x'tahseb, forsi naqbdu pixxispad ta xi 20kg u nuruh il dak x'niswew...........
U issa irhilu dak siehbi ghada u miet il bicca tax xoghol ;)
Propju ghall hemm kont qieghed nahseb...imma hemm problema fiz-zmien il-lampuki bid-dghajes li ikunu ghaddejin irejxu ghall lampuki jew inkella hergin mill gnejna etc ghax avvolja fuq il-knuz (l-imrejkba) ikollhom b'bicca ta bandiera daqs l-ostra u sinjali fil wicc xorta gili ikunu ha jaqsmulhom min fuq il knuz....ahseb u ara tajra f'ajru kemm ha jarawh certu nies
Ara kif taghmel martin :p jisparawli kiku il kaccaturi il kite jejdulek ax itelef lasafar hehe :p
Ostra l-istess haga kien ghaddej min mohhi ukoll!! u specialment dis-sena meta ghandhom settembru biss biex johrgu...heqq dejjem suppost hekk...ghax qieghed nisma hafna hsejjes "strambi" x'hin qieghed inkun nistad hemm ::) ;)
Daghjjes mhux problema ghax bdan il metodu ma jkolloks medda fl'ilma izda tkun flarja. Vantagg taghha hu li hut li jitgerrex mil harira tista tippresentalu il-lixka biss fil bahar, pero trid timmanuvra it tajra sew.
I bought a fishing kite from Australia last year. I tried it without lures or bait for now.....but it took off Mtahleb one night and went 500m out. You need a separate fishing rod to control the kite. The drag setting determines the kite flight height. You need release clips too. You need force 2-4 to take out heavy rigs. It is not a common kite, so don't try fishing with a common kite!
I will be trying it out again soon.....off the cliffs for bottom fishing into the 120m depths. If you need any help on this topic don't hesitate to ask.
thanks... i bought mine from the uk... issa naraw
Sounds interesting..too much work to get a piece of bait out there !
I agree it sounds like alot of "work" but then anything powered by the wind is gonna give you a challenge to launch & control..the mrejkba method for lampuki is alot of "work" (& skill!) too!
I've seen video shots of the kite being used from a boat. The way the kite is handled can literally make just the bait touch the water. In fact the kite operator was teasing a fish, and pulling the fish just befor it took it.
Yup seen this too ramio! apparently they use it on boats alot in the U.S and New Zealand for swords!
Also seen a bottom longline method too which i think could be good
