This Competition was held on the 22nd June 2014 at Marsascala 'Zonqor Point' . Commenced at 06:30 & finished at 10:30. In this Singles League match we had 24 Anglers competing & 4 Marshals.
We all met up at 05:30 where the pegs where allocated for the anglers according to the previous poll that was completed in our singles League registration meeting. The atmosphere was as usual very friendly one where tips were also given & a few jokes where not a miss neither.
All participants where expecting to do well due to this venue is well known for mainly for parrot fish , wrasse , annular sea bream & White sea bream.
As soon as the start signal was given at 06:30 the Singles League kicked off with all the anglers using their own techniques, there were quite a few pegs that were losing the lead when retrieving their lines back after the first cast. That is when they started using different rigs to enable them to land the fish as most f them where actually hooking on the fish which whilst retrieving the fish in they where getting stuck to the reef. Majority of the fish that where biting mainly bottom feeding fish. All the anglers did their best to catch as many fish possible, weather was favourable with regards to wind but the sea was very clear which is not ideal but still managed to land just over 26 Kilos of fish. Mainly bottom fish parrot fish, wrasse, annular sea bream & White sea bream & in some areas there was also a few Boxlip Mullet too.
