We have decided to
create Malta Fishing Forum to address the growing needs for an online
community to discuss all things fishing related within the Maltese
Fishing Zone. It is the intention of this site together with the Discussion Forum to cater for a diverse
range of fisherman, from inshore angling to big game offshore fishing in Malta. Whether it's Tuna, Amberajack, Dorado (Lampuki), rod fishing or spearfishing, the forum has it all.
With this comes time,
dedication and most importantly support from our members, sponsors and
our partners!
Our Objectives
To create a virtual community for online
collaboration within a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, whilst at the
same time promoting awareness of new fishing techniques and styles to
be applied when sport fishing around Malta.
Big-game fishing,
sometimes called offshore sport fishing or offshore game fishing, is a
form of recreational fishing, targeting large bony fish such as tuna
and marlin in the open sea, often some distance from land and, in some
fishing grounds, out of sight of land. It is conducted recreationally,
as well as in competitions.
Coastal Fishing by
small boat is very popular around the Maltese Islands due
to the relatively cheap costs associated with owning a small
boat and outboard. Various type of fishing can be practised, from
bottom line to surface trolling both within creeks and bays
and in open seas.
Fishing from the
shore has been one of the most popular types of fishing in Malta.
Equipped with either a long pole style rod or casting reel and rod
offers a variety of opporunities whether you are fishing inside ports,
creeks etc or on the open coastline. Sportfishing in Malta has recently
become fairly popular with local clubs promoting catch and release
policies.
