BBtat, Shhhh.......

heheheh

you know i know lor

i start fishing 6 years old n now i 20 years old. i always fish with lures. my home alot of lures. i think nearly 100 lures liao.

BBtat, seafishing is not that expensive if you can find some good reasonable pricing.

I'll post up if i have up coming trip and see if you can join.

bro Btat, nope, we are not going to overnight.. , the budget is not really that expensive if it's around locale.

For your BC (Baitcast), it's the entry level of Abu 2006 BC design. I'm waiting for the Abu Revo STX which havent reach to our shores yet.

I have a write up regarding how to operate the BC to avoid birdnest(CBH = Char Bee Hoon) and to get the optimal distance with BC casting.

Let me find it and post it here.

this is where i got my article from

Now to set the right magnetic setting.
Tie to a 8grams lure(practically anything above 6cm is 7~8grams), then set your magnetic brake is set to 10, and your tension knob(the stupid nut that Bro Chun lost it) to ensure the spool doesnt move sideways. I'll explain more on that later stage. The tip here is, as you cast, notice your lure....as it's about to touch the water, use your thumb to stop the spool fully. Otherwise, due to the sudden change of speed at your spool, the spool will overrun and cause you CBH.

Then make a swing of, back to front with a minimal strength swing. You should be reaching 10m~15m. Do that for 5 times....

Then adjust your magnetic brakes to 8, and do the same strength swings again x 5. You should be getting 20m averagely....

Keep adjust the magnetic drag to lower the brakes(DO NOT PUT 2 or 0), until you get some CBH. NOW, the trick here is, tighten abit of your tension knob. Cast again for 5 times.....it's either getting lesser CBH or no CBH at all....if no CBH meaning that you have set the right setting for yourself. Otherwise, loosen the tension knob a little and adjust yo ....

2: Then use your thumb to try to move spool to the left and right. If it moves, repeat step 1, until there are bit of movement.

Bro IceCube,
I'm a fulltime fisherman partime worker la...hehehe

I work in a bank for weekdays job and at night is all my freelance websites thingy.

You firstly have to understand the kelong position.

Do you know that the kelong is actually situated in the middle of the current runway??

Example.....
High tide

>>>>>>>||kelong||>>>>>>>>>
Low tide

<<<<<<<||kelong||<<<<<<<<<
So just follow the tide and you will be fine.

For grouper & telinga gajah, you have to be equipped with heavier arsenals, cos you will be fishing under the tiang areas. In such if the fish takes the bait, you have to strike with a split second. Otherwise, you line will be rubbing against the tiang and there are alot of barnicles.

for kurau and senangin, you might wanna use apollo jig number 14~18. Target area is the staircase. As we docked, we walked up the staircase, then to lower deck we turn right, to upper deck we go furthur straight. In this case, you turn right and fish from the bridge. BTW, under the docking staircase got loads of telinga gajah as well.

What do you mean bawal and GF as well?? Where to 'fish' your gf issit?? in the room la of course...~!! huahuahuahuahua

For pari, you know where to get them rite?
Btat,
for BC casting, it's always practise to perfect. There are alot of factor which you can cast with a BC, with or without wind. BC can also reach alot of snaggy areas with the slightest pitching. I believe alot of anglers do debate about this.

Hi FeverBoy, since the author of this thread didnt say anything, allow me to welcome you to the world of angling. Please do not hesitate to ask us if there are any doubts. Again, welcome to the angling world and hope that you practise catch and release too.

For PD, i have a great memories there....

I used to work in PD in one of the resort...so fishing is the main thing i does there..

One of the evening i casted with a 21footer surf rod + 10,000 series reel....without much waiting, the reel screams~

Give a solid strike and the game begins. Have you see a 21footer rod bends like a mangkuk?? hahaha...that's how powderful the pari is.

Fought for 45mins...all the ins and outs of line.....i'm tired enough....so i passed on to my pal, so he fought for another 30 mins before he gives up...at the same time, i called one of the tackle shop guy in PD stating that we got a big hookup....which he came shortly. Now it's the turn of the tackle shop guy, fought for about 1hour before he gives up.

The tackle shop guy felt unsatisfied, so passed on the gear to me, while he went back and get his scuba gears.

He place on his gears, and while i hold on to the fight...he followed the line downwards to the depth...at that time it's about 70m line is out, tho it's near we are unable to win the battle.

He came up after 20~30minutes. Told me to fight witht he tightest drag i can put on, pump the fish like the rod can never break...i asked why...??

"It's a sting ray the size of wedding dinner table!"

I was like WTF???

SO i did as instructed, pumping like mad, testing the strength of the surf rod...

THE LINE BROKE.......................................

End of story...it remains as a great memory to me
