Added on July 2, 2011, 3:47 amHere are some tips for fishing at river (saltwater) Try to find rocks. big rocks at the shore or side of the river. If you have a boat. Use fishfinder and see how big and how far is the rocks below. Scan properly. Till u reach a place where the fishfinder starts to beeps and you see alot of fishes in the screen. Do not park on top of it. If the water is going up. Land your anchour 4 yards before the so called rumah ikan. and then let go of the anchour rope until u see that you are atleast 1 yard before the house. Just dont want to scare the fish. So, use live prawns as bait. Also can use baby crabs. Its good for hunting groupers. It really works. If you dont have a fishfinder. Hunt by throwing your bait at the root of pokok bakau as there are normaly ikan siakap merah, sembilang. they like to hide there..

pulau ketam is near klang area ryte? If it is then ive been there. There are good placs there. Thats why as i said. You must know the types of fish. Which fish lives in which area. Using boat is the best bet. Fish with scales are always located near "batu karang" @ Coral's. In river also got corals. Fish without scales like ikan sembilang, ikan duri, those kind of fish loves muddy areas, Ikan pari @ stingray they love to hang around outside the "batu karang" cuz waiting for the fish to come out and play. So, for instance. If you are hunting kerapu. Find coral reefs. If you are hunting sembilang, wait for the water to run fast like when its in the middle of high tide not "pasang penuh" example. 8pm is when high tide meaning air penuh. so go around 6pm. but the water is fast so use a size 4 - 6 and also, tukak @ small stingray love those kind of water. If you were to hunt ikan tanda merah, kerapu, tirusan, its better to park where corals are located. You will surely get a bite. If you are hunting for stingray, park just before the coral reef or the "rumah ikan". Ok, now talk about baits. Muara @ river, the best is still prawns. Live prawns. The second i prefer is those little crabs, then belanak. Its better to prepare a few types of bait as fish tends to change thier diet depending on water tempreature. And then feeding times. Mostly fish are in a feeding frenzy when the water is just about to pasang. Example. 6.00pm water already low tide. 7.00pm water starting to come into the river. That is the best time as the sea brings diffrent type of food and the river banks where prawns live, fish will go there. Try my advice and sorry for my broken ENGLAND

lol cap ayam... i use daiwa D wave 50003bi, okuma halogen LX and daiwa opusbull reels. Cheap but strong.. that Daiwa D Wave catch ikan talang2 at 9kg very easy to land. That okuma halogen caught its heaviest 4kg kerapu. That opusbull no need say la... we all know the strength. My rods are Lemax Firestick Limited Edition PE 4 - 6, Ofmer hammerjig pe 2 - 4 and Shakespere Uglystick tiger (old model from my father giv) to use to go saltwater fishing.. Ok la.. Still consider below RM300 per reel and serves me good. After fishing in saltwater, i normaly wash my reels and 1 in 3 month i send them in for servicing. Pelamis is just good for freshwater. For saltwater, find something that has a solid body, aloi, u noe, those non rusty equipment. And they can be found at cheap price like my daiwa D Wave 50003Bi cost me only RM230. My daiwa opusbull cost RM290. My okuma Halogen LX cost me RM255. See, nothing above RM300.

Team TICA is diffrent story. Those are expensive reels. Ajiking the only powerfull reels are (personaly own before) Jigmaster and thier WAHOO 6000. that Wahoo 6000 is a 30KG drag. and that Ajiking Jigmaster can reel with ease number 24 lead. even a shimano also release thier cheap product. Dosent mean that the brand of stuff and its cheap will be consider bullcrap stuff. Every company have thier flagship for example. Daiwa Saltiga? Shimano sustain PE, Ajiking Wahoo, Tomman Jerker 8000 (cant find it now), banax kairos,

for ikan baung use stinkbait. Like perut ayam. sure it will eat. But i dont fish for baung.

Added on July 7, 2011, 12:34 pm7 years ago i use to catch baung. i used perumpun. and caught a bucket load of baung. but i didnt eat it. cuz my family dont eat catfish family which include patin, baung, sembilang, jan and so on related to each other

i use heavy machinery grease serves me better. so far my spool are still like new and smooth...

well, my reels are just easy. Espcially my okuma. I dont need any screwdrivers. and the rest i just normaly open n remember the parts. the manual given i dunno where i put. hehehe... but if you are not comfident. give it to someone who knows how. To tell u all the truth, shops also uses heavy machinery grease for those saltwater types. If you always (5 times a week) saltwater fishing (not pond saltwater) then its better cuz its heavy duty. Saltwater if you use normal grease, teritup will start to stick and you can see white powder around the spool that is salt. Use WD40 is ok but dont use too much. it tends to "kikis" metel. use it only when neccesary

Today i went to a local fishing store and found the uglystik for RM170. i say WAH SO CHEAP so i asked the salesman why so cheap. he say this rod came with 2 ring pecah. so sell cheap and then repair yourself. but FUJI SIC rings are not cheap. lol.. but its worth it tho... uglystik are expensive...

USA rods are normaly 6ft and no joints. just 1 piece. Well for u rm150 mayb cheap there but in kuching here the cheapest will be around RM200.

10 bearing? zzz better u go for those AntiRustBearings = ARB bearings. 10 bearings no way. If you open the reels, count the bearings inside. does it reach 10? For finding a reel, its better you go for

1. Line capacity
2. Body toughness
3. Anti Rust @ saltwater useage (to be on the safe side)
4. Drag limit (how many KG can lift)
5. Smoothness
6. Weight
7. Purpose (Bottom, Jigging, Floating, Popping, Casting, Trolling)

last but not least....
BUDJET

Just baught my lowrance fishfinder and GPS model HDS 10 for RM3k.. Cheaper than Garmin.. Gonna buy new boat.. Thinking of something like 45feet long 9 feed wide with a Hino Turbo diesel engine.. Hehehe... Mayb add 2 airconds, 2 generators, lights i can use from my fiber boat. My sea fishing trip will be at 23/7 and 1 seat left open. anyone who intrested living in kuching can join. for a price of Rm125. Not including makan n minum n bait. Organized by a friend of mine. If intrested do giv me a PM.. hehehe

@shoot@m3 Its including overnight. Leave the dock at 2pm, arive back at the dock the next morning at 11am. I charge according to distance and location. Well, start small. Get a fibre boat with a good engine and start renting. Keep some money den spend it on a big boat.

@Nicotine
Im not so sure about the price but i ask from my uncle cuz he owns a kedai potong. Just need to change the gearbox, sub and pump.

Yesterday i learned a hard lesson. Last night while i was on my way back, i forgot to use my spotlight. I ran over someones fishing net and it got stuck on my propeller. And the river i was using is infested with crocodile. Like it or not, i was the only one on the boat. I had to lift the end of the engine to bring up the propeller and then cut the net away. IN THE DARK. so then i on my spotlight and i saw atleast 5 or 6 crocs looking at me with thier red eye.. Alone and terrified i start the engine back and pecut but i didnt realise the pin on the propeller was gone. So my propeller and a few clips gone. Without the propeller i cant even drive the boat. So i had to use DAYUNG and i was fighting with the tide. It usually takes me 15 minits to reach the jetty but last night it took me 1 1/2 hour. crazy incident. Now i need to find atleast RM400 to replace the propeller. Never drive boats without lights.

this is my fiber boat.. big enuf...

YES!!! tomorow i got a deep sea fishing trip 4days 3 nights.. nghee.. will post pictures after i come back.. hahaha

Sorry to keep u all waiting for pix.. Here are some pix of the trip i went. All fish are personal catch. This is the pix from my own HP. sorry no auto focus.. ekek


Talang2 lor... this 1 the fight very2 nice.. ehehehe


Overall personal catch.. Nghee...

Will post more pix later cuz now tired.. uhu.. see u soon

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
