Title: Beginners Lectures in Fishing
Post by: The_Gaffer on October 28, 2011, 14:56:32 CET
The malta Fishing Forum is about to organise a number of beginners lectures addressing various types and techniques of land and sea fishing.  We have noticed a number of queries lately on the forum which might merit the effort in organising these lectures.  The lectures will address basic forms of rod fishing, including spinning, beach casting, rod and pole fishing.  As well as most types of boat fishing, including light trolling, big game trolling (alongi) and ordinary boat rod fishing.  Depending on the numbers we get, and if the interest is sufficient, then we can go ahead and organise.  We can get a number of people to share their expertise in fishing techniques.  
Register your interest here, stating which type of lecture you'd be interested in attending.  We will try and keep the costs down as much as possible, but again, this would generally depend on the interest shown here and the numbers attending.

Hemm il-hsieb li l-Malta Fishing Forum jorganizza numru ta lezzjonijiet ghal beginners fuq kull tip ta sajd, kemm mill-art, kif ukoll mill bahar.  Qed ninutaw li hemm talba generali ghal dawn it-tip ta' lezzjonijiet gejjin minn hafna beginners.  Kollox jiddependi jekk ikun hemm interess u partecipazjoni.  Hemm numru sabih ta nies li lesti jaqsu l-esperjenzi tahhom maghkhom.  
Nitolbukhom tnizlu issimkhom hawn, u tindikaw liema tip ta sajd jinteressakhom.  L-ghan taghna huwa li nzommu l-ispejjez baxxi kemm jista jkun.  Pero dan jiddependi ukoll mill-interess taghkom kif ukoll min dawk li jirregistraw l-interess tahhom li jattendu.

Cheers Gaffer.  I'll keep this lesson down to the bare basics to help out the beginners.  If I see that there is enough interest I will organise a few specialised lectures such as Shore Jigging, Silicones, and Light Rock Fishing.  By the way, here is a preview of some Light Rock Fishing :)

What a brialliant Idea! Alot of keen begginers join forums like this, but sometimes keep from asking questions due to imbaressment. Eventually they work it out, but the learning curve is long and tediouse.
This type of insentive will change that, get to meet fellow forum members, and enjoy our great sport.

Good luck with it!

Seems that interest is picking up.  I think the first lectures will be based on Shore spinning, with Charles Gauci (Clutch_kick) delivering the lecture himself.  Once we get a venue and date organised we'll keep you all posted.

As soon as there is an indication of some calm weather, i was planning of doing a demo, specifically on LRF.  There will also be a generic demo/lecture on spinning, that will cover light/normal spinning, and I will introduce Shore Jigging too.  Dates still need to be confirmed but most probably this will be in March, so we will have a reasonably good chance of sunny weather :)

yes a practical lesson in spinning.  We'll look at the kit you need to begin with, the types of lures on the market and how to use them.  A few words on Catch and Release, and conservation.

Ok Guys. Weather looks OK for next Sunday 4th.  I'll be organising a Spinning lecture at 2pm. We'll meet up in front of the Black Pearl, then we can find a quiet spot to cast a few lures.

This is going to be a very basic demo/lesson. I will be covering the tackle and equipment that you need. The we'll cover some casting techniques, retrieves, and some knots.  Don't expect secret spots :D

PS ... no need to PM me or call, just turn up on the day.  If for any reason I have to cancel it I will post on this thread.

thanks clutch_kick for your time,I will be there for sure with my equipment.
Title: Re: Beginners Lectures in Fishing
Post by: clutch_kick on March 01, 2012, 20:05:50 CET
This is going to be an intro session, aimed for the total beginner. I will go through the equipment you need to carry around with you, and explain some basic stuff like casts, retrieves for Jerk baits, Poppers, WTD, etc. It will probably be about an hour and a half I guess.  I am planning to do more specific an advanced sessions, which I will organise with a limited amount of spinners say 6 at a time so that we can make the most of it.

So basically if you know the basics you do not really need to come, so we can avoid being a large group.  I will post on this thread when I will be organising a more advanced demo and I will take names.
