Guys, been waiting for so long to start this season's fishing, however Saturday 5 June looks promising. All rods and reels are ready, lures and leader line changed and crimped, hook points sharpened...where is the fine weather, and more importantly, where are the Alongi!!!!
I'm looking forward to a good weather weekend too..... not sure if it will be alongi or jigging though!
good luck with whichever you go for........as for me, i'll be revising my Tax notes & the Income Tax Act for the exam on the 7th of June.....
ir risqman imma jien il hadd naqbes qabza imma forsi naqra jigging jew deep ghax wisq maltemp matul il gimgha u jkunn ad hemm il kurrent is sibt............
We should be out all weekend and Monday, weather permitting :)
Waiting for the weather to stabilise a bit than launch.most probable end of next week
Weather is back to F2-3 variable!!!!! for Saturday. Alongi or Deepsea?
well take a trip out to +20miles trolling alungi if no hit deepsea for 5hrs and then troll back. u try for both
try for both ! ::) ;D but if I were you I 'd wait till next Friday as I'm noticing that lately the wind forecast is being pretty unprecise!(more than usual) Windfinder included :'(

Thats sounds like a plan Tony..:P
Glad to hear that you boys are going to make a start at last! we have been seriously fishing for the last 2 months. I know that you like it warm before you start but aren't you taking it a bit far its June 3rd now, the season will be over soon ::)
Jokes aside I am looking forward to the reports of some REAL fish being caught, unlike the stuff we catch, a 20kg tope is a talking point with us, I cant wait for you to post reports of these big alungi & other species you are going to catch. I know that when I come over in July the weather will be crap, & I will have to sit on Marsascala pier watching the waves crashing in, in thinking about what I have missed for the 3rd year on the trot! :'(
So lets have some reports & photos of big fish ready for the barby! :o
??? ??? ??? as long as results are posted in english blueskip we should be ok, the bbq one has now changed to all maltese, so before this one changes, good luck to all taking part.
@ mike--> the bbq went into maltese so we could explain the directions to a member..... thus a 2nd map....... if you don't understand something just ask mate.
Weather conditions for the Maltese Islands is very unstable at the moment. Yesterday forecast was showing a F2 to 3 for Saturday, now its showing a F4 to 5 going down to F3 to 4 and then to 3 by the evening. So much for fishing >:( >:(
I'm cross checking three weather sites...windfinder.com, maltairport.com/weather and meteo.it (the italian military weather site - most accurate)
100% spot on Joe. The weather is playing a lot and has not yet stabilsed.Iam still up on land awaiting the change. This summer ti think we will have a lot of windy days.
its showing that the weather settles a bit on the 13 June........and thats just for a week then it gets rough again mind u this is weather and can change abruptly. it seems this planet is really Fu_ _ _ d up real good. I am starting to believe in 2012 predictions.............
i am going to stop the diet now ;D
Hmmmmmmmmm? if the weather is improving for a week around 13th June, then getting worse for a while, it might be in a benevolent mood for me for July 7th to 13th, I have been across 4 times in the last 3 yrs & each time the weather has been unsuitable for boat fishing! >:(
OK so its been good for shore fishing, but I can shore fish over here for mullet, bass, flatfish, when I travel 2,000 miles I want an alungi, or a yellowfin, or something that will "pull my string"! :o catching loads of garfish down by the Freeport with Placebo was great fun, & so is catching wrasse & bream at Marsacala, & catching mullet at Marsaxlok, but I want to dangle my boat rod & Big Penn trolling reel over the side, & feel something the same size as ME pulling back ::) I am so unlucky with the weather, that last year we couldn't even fish all night at Marsoxlok, because the bloody sea was washing over the promenade where we were going to fish!!!!!! :o
This year has to be my turn, I can feel it in my water ;)

Whats the point of being the owner of the Gaffer if you are afraid of F3-F4 winds? ................ara niccajta :)
Sunday and Monday looks very promising...unless it increases again!!
