It has been a long plan… finally 8 of us heading to K.Rompin
on 10-Sep-05. The group: Octopus, Wan Amildin & Richard from JB; Pep_cgi,
Sesirat & Dejagothic from KL; Norizal & Fishcrazymy from Nilai meet at
K.Rompin 8.15pm at the food stall there. From there added another member from
Kuatan, Peter. So total become nine person but Peter will arrive on next
morning.
After dinner, we go to our hotel for some seminar 
. Where
Wan teach us the new knot for easier tie and very good knot strength. After
that we go for shower then te h tarik again before sleeping.
After breakfast, we start our trip at 8am. 2 boats, Sky
Chong & Ah Siang are the boatman. As usual we go to unjam area for
baitfish. As the “bullet” there, 2 boats split to their own location for
sailfish.
10.30am, my reel starts screaming. After solid hookup by Ah
Siang, I took over the fight. Beautiful stripe & color, it jumps up for few
times. It took me about 15min to land the fish. Estimate 25-30kg. After photo
session, it backs to the deep blue sea…
About 11am, another reel cry loudly. After hookup, the
sailfish dancing with it’s tail… very beautiful. But the line snag, the fish
gone….
11.30am, reel screaming again. After solid hookup, fighting
began. About 20min, land another sailfish about 25-30kg as well.
Within these hours, I do the jigging for squid. Green eyed
& “toral” species caught. It is very fun for this squid jigging too. Myself
become the “champion” for squid catching :p
Lunch hour no more bite at all. So we were having our lunch
as well. Double hookup action around 3pm. But sadly, both also snag. Around
3.20pm, hookup sailfish but then again snag. 3.35pm another strike from
sailfish, this time Deja bring the sail in about 25min. larger size about
30-35kg.
After that we change location. We got hookup at the new
location also but as usual, line snag and the fish gone. We carry on searching
the sails… but we had to go back on 5.15pm.
We go back hotel for shower, clean our tackles, packing. Then
bring some of our catches to a food stall for dinner. Very tasty, very full…
coz all are fresh J. We start our journey home around 10pm.
Hope to see you guys next time. I really enjoy the trip.
