“From First Cast to Final Catch – A Waterfront Showdown”

Hooked on Fishing Club Malta:

Match Report – Hooked on Fishing Club MaltaDate: 6th AprilLocation: Waterfront, Valletta

The club gathered at the beautiful Valletta Waterfront at 5:30 AM, with anglers chatting and sharing ideas on how to approach the match. The weather held up nicely, allowing the competition to kick off smoothly at 6:30 AM.

Early on, several pegs saw immediate action, with anglers landing breams straight away, while others had a slower start. As the match progressed, a variety of techniques were employed to adapt to the conditions and fish behavior.

The main species caught throughout the match were different types of bream. While no mullet were officially landed, Peter Paul hooked into a promising one—unfortunately, it slipped away before it could be landed. It would have been a prize catch and was heartbreakingly close.

The biggest fish of the day was landed by Issac, who secured a solid 520g bream.
