Kretam 2010

Went to Kretam today with Jepp, Bob, Marjan, Bakry, Jason, Juini and Zizu. We followed Tikia the boatman from yacht club. This trip cost RM1650. Jepp was the organizer of this trip. It was a very enjoyable trip and I really hope to be able to fish in Kretam again.

Pulau Bai #2 2010

As requested by Jepp, I organized another fishing trip to Pulau Bai today. It's my second trip to Pulau Bai this month. It was a 'come back trip' for Jepp after almost 5 months without fishing. Fished with Jason, Jepp, his sister, Ah Lung and two veteran anglers from 7.30am to 4.50pm.

Sun Block is a must for me nowadays. :)

Jason's eel.

I caught a lot of gelama and grouper. 'Released' them all and took only these 6 fish.

This trip cost only RM23 per person. Organizing a fishing trip and being able to fish with people who really love fishing are really satisfying. Will surely organize another fishing trip to Pulau Bai again.

Taganak 2010

Planned a trip to Taganak with Zizu and friends. Unfortunately Zizu was not able to join us at the very last minute but it didn't stop us from going. Being the organizer of this trip, I faced a lot of problems. Now only I know that being an organizer is not that easy. Anyway, this trip began at 7.00am this morning and ended at about 5.30pm. It was a good trip anyway. As it's the third day of Chinese New Year, we were expecting to get a lot of 'reds'.

Pulau Bai 2010

Went for my first leisure fishing trip for 2010 in Pulau Berhala and Pulau Bai today from 7.00am to 4.30pm. Nothing much to say as it was just a leisure trip. The current was quite strong today. We had to use heavy sinker and unfortunately, I've lost 5 sinkers. I used prawn, fish and squid as baits.

We followed Nasib's boat from the jetty of Sandakan wet market.

Mr Thien @ Superfly Snuka was the first person to get 'drunk'.

These were what I've caught today.
9 small sizes groupers, 8 crockers and 2 other fish which I haven't know their name yet.
