After a few weeks of not fishing, finally today, I went to Pulau Bai again. Fished from 7.00am to 4.30pm with our boatman, Mr Nasib. It was a very enjoyable and successful trip.

KPN & MFN Forumers

Went casting in Sibuga Sports Complex yesterday at about 3.30pm to 5.30pm with forumers and friends whom I've met through KPN (http://www.kakipancing.net) and MFN (http://fishing.net.my). We didn't get any strike but it was a very memorable event for us all.

'Break fasting' in Kretam

After two months of not going to the sea to fish, my friends and I went to Kretam today. Jepp, Bob, Bakry, Donny, Don, Jason, Mark and myself followed Kong the boatman. Fished from 7.30am to 5.30pm. It was a very satisfying trip for some of us. I've forgotten to set the date in my camera, so, all the date stamp in the pictures dated 16/11/2009. It's supposed to be 17/11/2009.

'Yamcha' session with KPNers Sandakan

Went out for a drink with KPNers ( kakipancing.net) Sandakan on Sunday ( Oct 13, 2009 ) at 4.00pm in Airport Driving Range. It has been a while since we last met each other. There were 5 of us there- Zam, Zizu, Jepp, Bakry and myself.

Bakry, Jepp, Zizu and I.

After an hour of talking, we decided that we should go to Batu Putih to try our luck in casting and popping for barracuda, MJ or selongsong.

Fishing in Sungai Jipun, Sibuga.

Went to Sungai Jipun, Sibuga this evening with Elysius at 5.00pm to 8.45pm. Used tamban, lumahan and prawn as baits. For the first time in my life, I forgot to bring along my reel. I had to borrow from Elysius. Luckily, he brought along an extra reel. Our target fish were mangrove jack and black bass.

We targeted MJ and blackbass but these were all we've got.

my first talapia

Got my first talapia in Taman Samudera yesterday. Fishing with Jepp and Bakry from 3.30pm to 5.45pm. For further report, please visit Jepp's blog at http://jepp79.blogspot.com/

My very first talapia.

Flowerhorn paradise

Went to Taman Samudera with Jepp. Fished there from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. Used bread and worm as baits. I successfully landed 12 flowerhorns and a snakehead. As for Jepp, he landed 10 flowerhorns. A very satisfying leisure fishing activity. Will hunt for flowerhorns again in the future. I took all the flowerhorns home and released the snakehead. Planned to put them in my fish pond. As for Jepp, he took 9 of the flowerhorns he caught and released the biggest back to the lake.
