freshwater? or seafishing?
for me lemax's rod
abu garcia's rod nt bad also.

Custom made rods....

yeah can fit any occassion
but also need to see for what kind of fishing oh
esp jigging and casting, needs to be a little lightweighted
as for brand i have not much ideas as I've only tested few rods
but thinking over it again, my hollow type is nice cos lightweighted but if go to deep sea.. i will be in big big trouble
so now maybe need to look for new ones

I always hear sometimes can break even with the cost that you're paying for the boat fare
can share your experience in this area?
Eg. u pay rm300 for a 3 days, 2 nite trip fishing in deep sea, u caught many fish and sell it when u reach the shore
how much is your loss and gains for this scenario, can share with us? (only fish sales - boat fare)

let's share the knowledge esp for noob like me

TIA

lemax cheap but trustable, fuji rings are better with braided lines, rods depends on your spool, heavy spool - ligh rod vice versa.

Added on August 4, 2011, 3:08 pmIts not everytime you go deepsea fishing u will come back with alot of catches, if you do, keep the ones you can keep, the rest either u sell or u give it away, since i consider it a hobby and also its expensive to spend on deep sea, if theres alot of catch i will sell them RM2 cheaper then thier market price and sure people will buy from the condition of the fish caught are shiny and still smiling

Bah, I always dreamed of going to the sea to fish. But I don't have any friends or family members so sporting to go with me. The most they can is just to go pay ponds, that's why, Shoot@M3, I don't have the need to keep a jigging/popping rod yet.

Say, anyone has got any fishing trips to plan in the future in west Malaysia?

Well, you can easily fish at Port Klang waters by renting boats.
A 3-4 person boat costs about RM180 from 9am til 5pm. Petrol included but dont expect the boat to be super awesome.

last year i rented a boat around 100bucks for 2 person around lumut area. targeted fishes are jenahak, siakap, mangrove jack and groupers. and guess what, the stupid boatman brought us to fish sha chim(whitings) niamah. dulan 9 me. but catch was so-so. got a few table size jenahak, <1kg.

At least got some table sized jenahak, not bad wat. Sometimes you get some, sometimes you get none. Hope i'll have the chance to rent a boat n fish with others too.

ah ic, so depends on the luck as well eh. Oh well, then need at least one that has experience in what to do when get back to the shores. But I guess the boatman would help as well
thx
yeah bro, going with 1 or 2 frens would be the best plus for first time at sea sure need someone teach bit. Perhaps your best bet is to find someone here that would be able to organise one. I myself haven't been to the deep ones.. just beside pulau only for me. Decent in numbers but not size, 3 of us went out with a small boat RM50 per person. Came back with around 20 or more fish, mostly kerisi, bulat, kerapu and pisang. Mostly caught using appolo style. Boatman was bit inexperienced but did get us to couple of good places while moving around in the boat.

like max said, no need expect it to be super nice. It's more like a sampan just bigger and at least got motor lah haha
to be decent, if they bring around 8-12 ppl per trip, those boat are much better usually may provide food, place to sleep & bathroom. Prolly target those wooden boat ones may be cheaper than fiber i think.

I still yet to get into one of these! arghhh
Max, u mean RM180 for that 3-4 person?
I guess we have the same rate here bro

Yes, 3-4 persons for around RM180.
I think the boat got no bumbung 1 but there's enough fuel from Port Klang to Pulau Ketam.

around the same price that im getting on my side as well.
@ bomberkenny,
from the prices stated here u can roughly estimate how much for you to plan for a day trip of fishing there as well. 9am to 5pm, more or less
as for me i'm now eyeing on the 2 days 1 nite or 3 days 2 nite trip here
2 days 1 nite my colleague said, may cost around rm150 to rm200 plus depending on how many joining that time.

but i still yet to be able to get my tools ready for the deep waters hehehe

Hehe, just talking abt sea fishing already made me excited. Just went TCE Tackles and bought a light jigging rod, soon i'll get a good sea reel to fit it in. Im going fish valley with my bro tmr morning, can try the rod with my banax fresh water reel to fight mekong catfish.

I think my virgin sea trip most prolly i join other pro anglers in a 3d2n trip. Though likewise i had no full sea equipments yet. The next thing im getting would be the multiplier and good quality braided line and some jigs.

i've been to FV countless times and i haven't kena mekong catfish yet. haha so if you do, share with me how you got it eh?

Ah, btw, tce tackles are having their 'mega sale' so those of you who want to get your fishing stuff at a discounted rate can do so until 30th August 2011.
Happening at all TCE Tackle outlets in Malaysia.

Yeah, i just saw in tce tackles they selling banax kaigen, an electric reel at rm 1066. I wonder if its really a bargain there.

If got luck then i must aim plabuk la, got alot of fight 1 this monster

Bro , have contact for such people...
Thanks

no offense but i do really hate people that use electric reels. beats the purpose of fishing might as well use trawlers and nets

Very true, its not what i enjoy using also.

The reason they have electronic reel...is they fish in very deep waters.....its NOT fun, to fish in 400-1000M of waters, you try dropping a sinker that weighs almost a full kilogramme wait for it to hit the bottom, AND if by some stroke of bad luck, they nip your bait off, you have to pull that up to the boat, re-bait and drop off again....I think if you do this 10x times.........:-p

You mean you have contact or you want the contact?
If you want the contact for this you'll need to go tot Port Klang yourself as i dont have their number.
