Very nice and good work Busumark.
Were you far out or within the 12 miles?
about 7 miles from land
Very very nice, would love to catch one on a rod but i know it's very hard in Malta. Were your long lines baited up with Mackerel? And at the surface or would you weight the lines to take them down? I'm guessing over night and you had some chem sticks at each end?
we have some FAD we leave the long line with them. then u start pickink up at about 5 in the morning. we had lacci for bait. between each hook there is about 50m and every 3 hooks u make float with 2 qami naylon
Prosit, nice fish.
So with 200 hooks at 50m each the line is 10km long.Wow that is serious fishing.
nice one! well done
well done busu. was it still alive when u drew it in?
it was dead. we caught another one 12kg which still alive
