Bazuk

anglers · January 18, 2009, 18:31:17 CET

Hey guys !!! I need some help. I got fed up of going fishing for nothing and really would love to go fishing down near filfla for Bazuk. I have only one problem, I don't know a good fishing spot. Any help?? I would also glad to take someone out fishing with me as long as we get some fish on board. Thanks...

Anglers a couple of miles off filfla in the 240mtr range and u are fishing for bazuk. The bottom is rocky there and the chances of getting stuck to bottom are very high. So take some extra rigs with u.
Its a hit and miss thing. Amazingly enough if you catch and mark it on Gps it doesnt mean that you will always catch from there. there are times when a productive place goes barren and another time its starts to fish again.

i had a look at my gps shanook and its just like you said!! however it says that the bottom is sandy or muddy with only few rocks!! maybe the data is inaccurate

I think so gann, Because whenever we haul longlines there we get stuck every minute lol!

shanook · January 19, 2009, 16:56:23 CET

You have to try to believe........yes gann even on mine it says mud BUT with the nets, long lines and cimi of dorado fads that are down there combined with the rocks u get stuck often. The good thing is that u might get a bazuka there, because if the lines dont get stuck, the bottom would be riddled with longlines and we wont find a fish to catch.
