Capt. Roderick runs trips out of St. Paul's Bay aboard a 21' Buccaneer. These waters are known for Barracuda and Bluefish and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling or bottom fishing. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Lots of fun

    Sunrise trip 3 hours • 2 adults

    We had a great time fishing, or rather attempting to fish 😆 We certainly caught lots of live bait and a few smaller species, but unfortunately the bigger fish just refused to bite. However, this was not for lack of trying. Captain Roderick sped us to multiple locations in the hope the fish would be more cooperative, but it just wasn't our day. On the plus side, we had a fun time on the boat going very fast, getting salt sprayed by the waves and just enjoying a lovely day at sea. Even if you have a bad day fishing, you will have a great day seeing St Paul's Bay from the sea.

    Great day's fishing

    Sunrise trip 3 hours • 2 adults

    It was my first time fishing, but my son has freshwater fished before. Although we caught lots of bait, unfortunately we only managed one large fish, a trigger fish, but my son was over the moon with that. Our captain, Roderick, was great, helping us to learn how to sea fish and was an excellent guide. Many thanks Rodrick, will definitely do that again if we come back to Malta

    Great day out on the water!

    5 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    We had a great time out with our guide Nick. We headed out from Bugibba Jetty and headed across the sea bream fish farms to catch some bait for the our day. Unfortunately the bait was our only catch for the day, but we had a beautiful day along the Comino and Gozo coast trying to find so Amberjack that were willing to bite. If you select this trip make sure that you bring along some snacks, water, beer and sunscreen. If you want to keep your drinks cold also bring along a small cooler. The boat boards at the small slip along the left side of the harbor. Head down the short ramp towards the tour boat jetty and take a left along the water to find the boat.

    Just what we wanted... beautiful scenery, great trip, and loads of fish.

    3 Hour Trip • 5 adults • 2 children

    I have been on a few trips, and this was a great experience. we took the 3 hour trip, and caught plenty of fish off the bottom. Roderick, the Captain, listened to our request to target smaller fish in a higher quantity rather than bigger fish. as a result, we caught plenty and the kids had a great time.

    Vi hadde en helt super fisketur med kaptein Roderick ut fra St Pauls Bay. Roderick er veldig hjelpsom og opptatt av at vi alle skulle få fisk. Vi brukte dessverre mest tid på å fiske agn-fisk, men det mest spennende var å dorge etter større fisk. En god dag på sjøen - vi fikk tre flotte triggerfish 🐟🐟🐟
