Blog EntryKarang Ngah trip on 16-17 Jul 2005Jul 26, '05 1:47 AM
for everyone

The boat arrived on time 4am at the LKIM jetty (Tg.Sedili). After we loaded our stuff onto the boat, we start our 2d1n-fishing trip for Mackerel hunt.

It took 3 and half hours to reach unjam for baitfish with Apollo rig. Targeted kembong as the favorites for mackerel and most of the predator fishes… unfortunately bait fish not around. According to boatman, trawler boat wipe off most of the area recently. So we keep changing location to find more baitfishes. After gaining enough bullets, we heading to Karang Ngah.

Reach there around 11am. We dropping our rig and wait for those Tenggiri. Main line 20lb, leader 20lb, steel wire 20lb also. Some using drifting method while those kaki’s in front mainly add a sinker on the rig. After a long wait, 1st tenggiri caught by leader Wan. After that no more “sound” at all.

After that boatman decided shift to unjam area. From this unjam near to Aur island, we started a small party on boat. While waiting for tenggiri, we try our luck on bottom species also. Many coral species being caught by dead prawn, sotong & fish slice. Parrot, grouper, trigger fish, jemudok, aji2, jahan, merah, baby GT… Around sunset hour, tenggiri start biting. Within 2 hours plus, we land about 12 tenggiris. Many more got away… so sad.

As night falling, we moved to wreck area after our dinner. We park our boat here till next morning. Very little fish bite during the nighttime. Only 1 shark and other 2 or 3 fish caught. That why most kakis having some sweet dream through the night. (including me)

The next morning after breakfast we are heading to unjam again for those tenggiri. Yes, they still there. And our live bait fishes just not enough for them. No choice need to use dead bait fish also… party end on 12pm cause we are going back to jetty. 14 more tenggiri land for this morning. 1 of the kaki caught the Dorado and the dancing make us entertained.

Summary catches:

Tenggiri - 26
grouper - 9
Aji-aji -3
