Skalm - I have just started to fiish for Tumbrell and if you wish to buy them whenever I catch a few it is NO/LE from me...but you are most welcome to have them all for free!! .....provided that you come over to pick them up from M'Scala. Could be the fuel to come overe here will cost you more than buying the Tumbrell from the pixkerija, but it depends where you reside of course. Send me a PM on my email address: jbeecee@go.net.mt --- with your phone number so that if I have any luck I can call you.

Better still - Instead of giving them out for free, Skalm and anyone else who needs Tumbrell should forward a donation in aid of the MFF's initiative together with Puttinu Cares!!

Free? I keep mine in the freezer for bait and when lampuki season comes the imrejkba guys go crazy for them and pay good $$$$$$$$ too

Never tought that Tumbrell is going out for free. There is a craze for it at the moment for deep bottom and longlines.
I bought quite a lot recently for €1 each.  Would have been much better had the money gone to Putting cares.

I think Moonwalker that you misunderstood me. I never sell any fish that I catch, I give it away. Therefore if I get any Tumbrell you can have them for free. You can donate some Euros (as the Gaffer correctly remarks) for the Puttino cause when the time comes. Yes Tumbrell do make very good bait for the konzijiet but those "konzijiet" days are over for me. Hafna xghol dawn ghalijja, ghandi 61 issa hi..! -

it seems that in the area of B'Bugia there are no Tumbrell and they are at Port il-Kbir upwards

Post by: SEAFOX on January 09, 2011, 18:36:18 CET
Nahseb ta cos here out of M'Scala up to B'Bugia nothing is being caught. The news I was given that the Tumbrell are around may have been for further North of the Island as Framerc is stating.

Pity it's so windy today, having a go soon but it does look pretty rough. Yesterday Tumbrell kept biting until it got dark and most of the "rixhas" were gobbled each time the line was put to sea. Intense area was/is just 5/6 miles dead East of the Smart City project......BigBoy - hope you now have enough lixka to start with.... it was a great pleasure meeting you & Perla yesterday night in M'Scala.
