Its been a long time since I caught one that size man. But this year I caught 2 from the same place exactly in the same spot. (Fil-bejta) Both same size. They were twins!

Today 28 July I went spearfishing, caught 6Kg500g Octopus, 2 seabreams and a brown wrasse. I had many chances for fish, but I missed alot! especially on a barracuda of about 2Kgs and a guilded seabream (awrata) of about a kilo!

And also I missed a small amberjack of about 2Kg. Shot well but the spear never arrived on target!

Will post pic later of this catch.

This is the Pic of Monday's catch. It could have been better.

On Tuesday I went bottom fishing with the boat with my father and had a good time at first. The pic is shown here. But then we had some probs with the motor and had to return.

what size of gun are you using?

Arti2 · July 31, 2008, 11:13:53 CET

90 and 75

EmicMalta · July 31, 2008, 11:34:35 CET

with a 90 you can manage for sargi and sometimes an aj but its a bit short for the maltese water. I was asking you cos even with a 90 you do well

Arti2 · July 31, 2008, 14:09:37 CET

In fact if I had a longer one I could have caught a 2Kg+ Aj easily last time. The spear never arrived to target and fell down!
On the other hand I need to learn how to load a longer gun because I tried a 110 and I couldn't load, maybe the slings were a bit short!

EmicMalta · July 31, 2008, 14:21:19 CET

at the moment im using a 21mm rubber on my 105 and belive me that it sreally easy. And to say it all im using the original one with the metal wishbone and as you know im not strong

as you. Its just a small technick that one needs to learn when handling big guns.

But one of teh reasons is the back of the gun, some of them they hurt you and makes you bad markes as I use to make with my sporasub insctant 90. But like the cressi comance and the beuchat marlin elite they are really helpfull. Seahunter baught a marlin 105 last week and he can conferm on its shoots, its mounted with a 19mm rubber and with a small agreement with beuchat rapresentatives he had it with the double barb and 3 lugs rockwel spear. Its really nice. One of teh best ever saw. A 6.5mm and with the performance of a 7mm spear (by next week I will change to it) for good penatration. Everyone who knows me know how I like long shoots and this spear characteristics will help me for sure. With this 3 lugs its even more easy to load the gun cos with the 3rd lug its nearly in the middle so the 1st step can be done on the stomach

Seahunter · August 01, 2008, 11:03:44 CET

Since I bought the marlin I went only once spearfishing, but I found the marlin easy to handle in the water, and I tried some long shots succesfully.
With a third lug its much easier to load,as I am also not a big guy.

EmicMalta · August 01, 2008, 11:24:35 CET

today don t worry seahunter cos will try it for sure on some sargi. yesturday I went and there was a lot but the current was too strong.

Arti2 · August 04, 2008, 09:56:38 CET

On Sunday altough I had the band. I managed to go early in the morning and spent only about 2hrs spearfishing I caught 4 white seabreams. Will post pic later.
