Hi All,
Has anyone tried trolling in Bbugia/Mxlokk port? Any success?
I am quite new to trolling, and they suggest that the best is PredaPro?
Any suggestions if this is good for such an area?
Has anyone used PredaPro there?
Thanks :)
not good man :P
what is not good? the lure? trolling in that port? or both? lol :p
when u troll with predra pro dont forget to hook a fish to it as u will for sure catch nothing XD. yesterday (friday) was on boat working near the rig and saw a constant amount of small sawrell passing by......
Thanks Kevin G. Well I am new to trolling...but not that much.... not to know that hehe. Thanks!!

Its ok to ask questions gaffer... but ultimately you have to try! What works for me may not work for you. If you do not try to discover gaffer, you end up nowhere! Learn the basics and apply them. Little by little start to try and find your way of doing stuff.
When trolling, even the type of boat you have can affect the way you rig for trolling.
There are loads of bait to use on predapro's - mullet, saddled breams, sardines, bouges (if big enough only).
Besides, if one is fishing bouges as bait, I would bait it with the teleferica system. Much more effective and at times better than predapro, especially if you have ground baited the place for bouges. If there are predators in the area.. at some point in time you will see the bait scared off. Bait commotion attracts predators.
That is part of fishing. Gaffer i feel ur being incorrect on this part I help out people but spoon feeding does not help - no one.
When in doubt or want to learn, I definately ask gaffer but i keep my options open and try to discover the best way of fishing. Little by little.
Gaffer helping people is a good thing spoon feeding them is wrong. You help them discover the basics and let them find their own detail. Then they can share their knowledge and get to know how stuff is done.
Granitu - no need to get emotional. I pointed out a fact, your 1st 10 pages of posts on the forum are all questions. People ask questions. You may choose to answer them, or not. However, being cynical will not help people. Just be sensitive to others here.
Oh, and another thing Granitu - The Teleferica system does not work on trolling boats. Its the transfer of live bait from shore to sea, without stressing the bait in the process :P

Glad you see it that way. We all make mistakes, don't we!

That`s Fishing! every time you go you learn something and ever time you realise how little you know.
Amen!!! and agree 100%. I thought I knew some stuff about fishing but nowadays I realize I don't understand a damn thing about fishing, and my catches (or zero of them) prove it all :-\ When I hear you guys talking some technical stuff I realize I am way way back :(
Yes it's true one learns a lot by trial and error. BUT. A start up is always a great help. We all know that if one is started in the right track it doesn't mean that he has all the information and would still have to experiment. To tell a person that he has to have a good set up, with fine line and good knots, is helping out but is not telling much....to tell a person to use .18 line and use a uniknot is a bit better.....that person still needs to research the lines available and learn how to tie a knot......
We were all novices, I still am, but what I know I tell others as the little I know I learnt from others.
I think that to learn more and catch more you have to fish more.
Personal experience has shown me that when you are able to go fishing regularly you gain experience, have more time and inclination to experiment and start catching more. In fact the only periods when I made decent catches (by my very modest standards I must admit) were when I was able to go very often.
On the other hand going out once in a while tends to much less productive - even if you have experience with a particular style of fishing, you seem to forget things, become clumsy and lose touch. This is apart from the fact that going once in a while reduces your chances of being there on the few occasions when the bite is hot.
If you can only go fishing say once a week on Saturdays in summer (and this when the weather permits) I think that it becomes difficult and slow to gain the experience and knowledge needed to catch more and better fish. Just my personal opinion....
lovely place to fish ... all year round is a great place for light trolling .... use light gear and white flies and feathers.
Predapro is also a good choice in vicinity of the freeport terminals and just outside ... enjoy :)
Caught a nice baracuda early around 4.30am just out of breakwater, on a strikepro lure.
Had no weights.
With kahli I had no luck.
a Big prosit placebo for your experience o fishon. Very interesting indeed and thanks for sharing.
Also thanks for FISHON, KEEP IT UP It really shows reality of fishing, hiding nothing to the contrary of other programmes.

In our area I feel for saddled bream you need the right kind of weather for it to bite well. And I am not finding strike pro lures that effective in our area for saddled bream anymore. - this is my thought guys
There are cudas around at the moment but I cannot catch bigger than 30cm - I release them for another day or live bait troll with them (they practically swim like garfish and have better endurance)
