GT anyone ?

It's been so long that i wanted to own a long surf rod. Surf rod 10ft above is suitable for surf casting from seaside or beaches. 27th September 2008 is the day. I bought one new 10ft surf fishing rod, new reel,use new line and sinker. I wanted a 12 to 15 ft but can't fit into my tiny car.

6.am 28 september 2008, I went to the seaside near our navy base. People caught trevally,snapper,kerapu there before. I want to give it a try. I've been fishing here quite a few times but still not satisfied. Why? unable to cast far enough. it's windy, small "belanak" as bait i cast. Feels good, much more further than my 8 ft rod.

Rodney smses & will join the hunt & experiment of my new rod. He came around 7am bringing fresh prawns as extra baits. I used that bait and as soon my sinker drop in the water, a small kerapu grab it.----------->this kerapu only about 6 inches long. What fin is that beside the kerapu...?

Seems like fresh prawn is "sellable" but it cannot withstand the pressure during the strong casting. It will breakoff in pieces...So, i change to slice of sotong.

Around 7.40am, i cast out nearer to the navy base jetty and waited. Suddenly ! my new 10ft rod vibrated..! Luckily i was sitting next beside or else. I grab the rod quickly and started reeling in. Few onlookers anxiously waiting wether i really caught a fish. Rodney came and too witnessed it (lucky for him it's live telecast).

After one 2 minute, this is the result :

Type of Fish : Trevally/ Matak ( local chinese say), Weight: 1.1kg, Small but POWERFULL.

Rough Sea..

This photo taken on 27th september 2008 at 10.00am using 2M.P SE handphone, strong wind and seaside wave is quite strong. Is it suitable for fishing ?

Oh No..!!! it's raining.!

hahaha..!! there's no way you can stop the rain if it want to pour down...2200 Hrs, 24th September 2008, i sms Rodney in short " hujan ni...", he replied " kansel". Early in the afternoon he told me he already bought fresh sotong & tamban as baits--( wei...Rod, is it true on your blog you stated your favourites baits is those "baits"??) for tonite fishing.

What to do, well there's none any "headline" for this time.
" tide is right
tide is nice
i cast to the right
it's kerapu mice"

Try to fish tonite..

Only angler will understand that why and when they want to go fishing. It's just like any other kind of hobbies or interest which you need to spend money and suitable time. As for me fishing at night is more convenient because i need to work full in day time. But, occasionaly will spend time fishing during weekend afternoon but i tell you those spot really getting more angler than before.

Tonight will go fishing at Wet Market Sandakan. Few days ago my friend dad's manage to catched "Kerapu Tikus +- 800Gm". Well...any news will update u all later on tonite (24th september 2008)

"Kerapu Tikus 800GM" champion of the day.."

Ikan Pisang-Pisang (local people say lar...??)

The only catch we got on that night (11 september 2008 - about 1045pm) me and rodney at first went to the spot where a week ago he struck a kerapu ! but sadly not allowed to enter the private jetty gate....we'll be back some other time !

i got this catch on my first cast on this spot.., got excited but few more cast after that was just nibble...

Though it's small, but it's ikan merah family- i think so..by the way, what's the actual name of this fish ahh?

Jelly Fish....the video..

Observed the small fishes try to get such a big lunch.....

Jelly fish...

This jelly fish size is almost the size of 13" tyre rim. It's not the only one we saw but there are a few floating & alive fighting normal sea waves & predator surrounding it (small fish). This picture was taken somewhere in Karamunting Oil Jetty in Sandakan. Using only cameraphone 2 MP specifications on end 24th of August 2008. Will show you guys the video...

Fishing spot in Sandakan, without going out to deep sea

Anyone interest in fishing normally have the ambition to go far out on the sea to fullfill their fishing adrenalin for bigger, better fighting fish, including myself.

But, it need budget, permission from your love one or parents, time and of course "kaki pancing" all have free time to go. Well, i still remember during my teenager time i was not allow to follow my elder brother to go fishing in the ocean, he must have a good reason for that.

Browse around this blog and i will try to upload info & photo of places i or my frens been to or xprienced, especially in Sandakan...
