Surveying Johor's Reclaimed Land

Ive made a discovery of a reclaimed land in Johor...and..off we go...to surfcast there...

What flags are those..?

Jacq.

Me.

Kelvin, at long last, joined me in my surfcasting expeditions

Reeling in the line in an unique style..

The Three hours Fishing Session....

The deep end of the reclaimed land which faces the open South China sea...

The friendly Malaysian fishermans in action. Most of them are using lures to target the Ikan Siakap or Kim Bak Lor

This is the reclaimed spot that looks promising...

Iam using an old school of the Penn Squidder 140L drum.. Only an educated thumb can calm down the casting of this vintage drum...

Setting the drags...

Rigging the bait carefully..

The ultimate bait, a freshly caught tamban...

The cast...into the unknown..

A sudden bite caught me by surprised...

The deep part was about 80meters away..the currents were strong too...

My rod and the beautiful sunset...But no big takers yet...

The three big-game rods were in constant standby mode...

The moonlight shining ever so brightly...more pictures of this trip n my catch was taken by my kaki..still not collected by me yet..stay tuned...

Mateen's Lure's Tales

Hello there, bloggers.......Please go to (18/07/08- July) for an update on our surfcasting in Malaysia......Tks.......My kaki, Mateen, was doin some luring in the east area for only a short brief...while we were all busy with work. Here's the report...

The conditions were hard cos of heavy rains on this day...

A 700g Grouper fell for it....

Luring can be so much tiring but the rewards are worth the effort....

National Day Fishing

After being so much busy with work...at last, we've got some free time and what a good way to do except fishing today? And i wonder if the fishes knew about our national day today. Upon reaching there, i was hit with the Ikan Gelam. But, to my surprised, iv'e forgot to brought the camera. Luckily, Mateen and Jacq got their camera phones....

Next up, i noticed my line being loose. I slowly reeled in the slackened line and waited for a minute till i felt a small nibble. This time, i striked. Iam using a light tackle and i mananged to have a tug of war with the whatever fish. It was diving strongly everytime when it's halfway up.

Out came a 1kg of Ikan Kerapu or Grouper.

Next up was the other fisherman of the night, Mateen. He was asking me for the special bait and at last...his rod was in a suddened U-shape and line was peeling off vigorously. He striked....n FiSh On..!!! The fight was so incredibly...hard. The whatever fish was going on a one way ticket mode. I could see the small cute baby daiwa reel really screaming in pain and nearly botak...but, he calmly won the 15mins intensed battle, only by using his light tackle only...powerlah...!!!

The fish was safely landed, and it was a 2kg Ikan Kaci or Sweetlip...

A clearer photo of the Grouper n my sleepy face, daa..

A smiley sleepy fiherman n his Kaci......

Our bounty of the night. Tks for viewing..

Quantom Of Inner And Outer Heaven's Solace..

Our boat leaving S'pore for Malaysia's Tanjung Pengelih.....And at long last, a relax holiday for me and my team...we decided to seek new fishing spots for big-game surfcasting along the coast of the Johor area....So,...here are most of our

pictures....enjoy..

This is the moment...!!!We were having delicious and cheap seafood here in Sungai Rengit. Now, we must Makan first for building energy when doing big-game surfcasting later...

We were surveying new fishing spots....
