Sport Angling News Mario
Marlow,”Speed Fishes” to victory in the Kingfisher Singles 3rd
league match. Saturday
7th June, Mario Marlow, won the Kingfisher shore angling
singles 3rd match held along Senglea front. It was not an easy match to
fish with crystal clear waters, making the anglers use ultra light lines
of minimum breaking strains to catch fish. The smaller fish were the
target with the match winner catching over 1.69 kilograms of bogue fish
(vopi). These fish are caught using a fishing technique called “Speed
Fishing” were 1 to 2 meter rods are set up with fine lines and tiny
size 28 hooks, using prawn meat as bait. It’s quite an art, anglers
have to be totally focused and quick, it is something to be seen. Many a
tourist stopped to watch the anglers produce some excellent fishing.
Fishing the middle of the harbor was slow, due to the strong
northwesterly winds, which made it difficult to detect bites, although
some anglers waited patiently for that bonus fish. Other anglers
eventually opted to start speed fishing for damsel fish and vogue (vopi)
but it was too late,for Mario was way in the lead. Other species of fish
caught on the day were wrasse, gilthead bream, gurnards and red mullet.
A total of 20 anglers fish the Kingfisher singles league which
proves most competitive with its members. The results at the end of the
day were as follows: 1st Mario Marlow 1690
2nd
Joe Zammit 1500
3rd Clayton
Camilleri 1410 All
fish were returned back into the sea to be caught another day, honoring
the Kingfisher motto which is, “Catch
and Release”. The
winning members were all presented with trophies and vouchers thankfully
sponsored by MISTER
FISH shops. For
