First Competition ‘Ellevi Mullet league’ 2014 3rd & Final Leg.
This was the final Leg of this League was held on the 12th October 2014 at 'Birzebbuga' , this League was aimed at one species of fish Mullet therefor it is a more difficult than other competitions.
As usual we all met at 6:00am where everyone was chatting about what they all like to do 'fishing' & what they were planning of doing to tackle the Mullet, whilst the committee members stared marking all the pegs ,drawing out all the names to the assigned spots. Everyone eager to find out the spot they were to fish to start prepping the ground-bait & rigging up the rods with various setups.
On the sound of the horn at 7:00am signalling for the competition to commence you could hear all the ground-bait landing on the surface of the water. All competitors started using their own techniques , we could straight away see that there was Mullet biting on various spots , some even managed to land a couple. There was also a considerable amount of Annular-bream caught by most of the competitors which were being released immediately due to they are not part of the weigh-inn. one can say that this Venue proved to be this seasons best for the Mullet League , due to you could constantly see bent rods and tight lines when they manage to hook this such strong species of fish Mullet. Out of the 19 Anglers 15 of them managed to land Mullet on the day was a good day overall.
Although this was the Final Leg of the Mullet League you could see the good sportsmanship of this 'Club' when you see the sincere friendship of the members congratulating each other.
Competition came to an end at 11:00hrs, the usual gathering at the end of the match whilst all the fish were being weighed in with everyone discussing what went on that morning, learning from each other knowledge experience ,techniques used & congratulating each other.
