Btw since this is my 1st competition. If fish that I catch die do they still count? And why is it difficult to keep nets over there, is it because there is a bit of distance between the sea and shore?

camkev · October 28, 2009, 23:12:34 CET

Of course they will still count!!I think the nets because there are rocks and when it's rough its difficult to keep the fish in the nets!

I would love to fish, this would be my first competition in malta and would like to get to know some of you guys. I fish mainly around birzebbuga and never fished at marsascala, so if anyone has any information as to what methods and baits work best, it would be very helpful (if you dont mind giving all your secrets away)

mulett75 · October 29, 2009, 18:36:10 CET

I can tell you that there is not much difference from Birzebbugia to Zonqor Point. Normally we use shrimps, (live or frozen), worms and crayfish. These normally are used for casting. If you use a pole all the above are still good but one can add the bread. As regards methods one can use the pater noster rig for bottom fishing. One has to be carefull as the bottom is a rocky one and one can easily get stuck to the bottom, so prepare extra rigs.
For sure if you have any other kind of method just try it, I am sure it will work.

if any one is good at catching xilep using the green weed grass which grows on the rocks at ZP, this competition should be a piece of cake. went diving last week and saw many dozens all well sized. some people fish for xilep in this area using this weed, the best point being the very point of zonqor point. Also saw some nice sawrell schools.

camkev · November 01, 2009, 23:16:43 CET

Can someone advise what's the best method to fish there?Like a 6mtr hand rod is enough?Most of us never went fishing ther so a bit of help would be very useful...dont worry placebo and mulett75,one of you is going to win it for sure.but it will till be fun fishing with most of you!!!Another thing is that we need more members to join in,i am sure that there are more who can come.Instead of asking were and how you fish maybe you can join us and learn someting from each other

I think that this time of year the best fishing at Zonqor Point is for zabri and xilep and and maybe sargi if the sea is a little bit rough .the most important thing is that you are in the right place(fil lok fejn ikun hemm ir rima).A rod from 7 to 9 metres must use if the sea is little bit rough (jekk ha tistad ghal tal wicc).If the sea is calm try bottom fishing.Another problem very important if you don't wake up early you will find people fishing on the best spots and also you will find guys with the (terrieha) Good luck to all

@camkev my intension is not to win but to fish with some forum members and tio see otjher participating and have some fun. If you want during the competition stay next to me and I can show/tell what my intentions will be. Btw I can tell you know. I will have abouit 3 to 4 casting rods (ghal tal qih). nothing special but I can assure you that at Zonqor point there is a lot of fish such as (briqex, gharajjes, sparli and even mrazpan). A pole will be standing ready besides me as sime time small mullet will cime to suface.
If you want more info, please ask
