guys just sharing bit in case those wana find bit info fishing in sabah
boat capacity = 12 anglers
total damage = rm3k for 3 days 2 nites
facility = bunk beds, very basic, bathroom
meals provided - 3 times a day
usual place - Mengalun

so far that's all i know, i have yet to do my maiden voyage to deep sea
still preparing, no fren teach how also

is this cos of snakes likes palm oil field is it?

greetings from Borneo
wish me luck guys, going for my first trip ever deep sea. after waiting almost 2 years for this opportunity, so many things to bring..
both excited and scary same time

thx guys, leaving tmr morning here
not Luconia oh, just up to Mantanani from what i heard in the group. maybe near mengalun area and also i did hear about takat sajali and jipun
my gears all manual one. few rods and reels, weights, jaur etc. first time going out this far so still need to learn later
3 bottom, 2 spinning wana try jigging bit
yeap bringing 5 altogether. yeah i heard from my friend that he said to bring extra in case few gears rosak so won't putih mata later without spares
yeah my fren also says bring water, even tho they say boat got provide but I still bring water and food
i duno how they do it here but i may wana fish some live bait too and try later so im bringing portable oxygen pump and small tank for it. dun even know i can do it but just feel like wana try alittle bit
one group posted a tornado in the sea i think recently, then i see those ppl still fishing like nothing happen also.. crazy

ok guys here's some pictures from my recent trip 3 days 2 nites
landed on sunday

group photo whence we just departed. i'm the blue shirt bald headed eagle

group photo once we're back at the landing zone. heaviest is keratang (goliath grouper 17kg, tenggiri around 10 to 12kg) boatman caught one moray eel also around 5ft plus long

my super small humble catch. there's another titir 2kg not in the picture cos i sold off to shop since cannot fit my fridge that long..

another member's catch, mine sure can't compare to his

12 ppl, all electric reel except for 3 ppl on manual including me also manual..

first day i seasick badly, no one to guide me what to do plus I don't know any of them before also. eat, drink i puke all out, until the end i decided take nap bit wake up and then sat down puke again, so decided to sleep first until meal time, woke up swallow and drink straight to go sleep til the next day. I lost 50% of my trip cos one whole day mabuk...

only woke up second day and started fishing whole day till nite until rain started pouring, then a small storm came up with lightning, rain and wind, i cooped up in bed, worry and scared to see the wave.. slept until big waves started jolting the boat around bit and by then i can't close eyes dy cos of the rocking

anyway, i was quite blessed, my birthday was at sea and on that day i could fish! hahaha
best fight fish was kerisi bali, first time get it, took me around 3 to 4 min to bring it up from depth of 80M
it was my new personal record of 2.6kg now, crazy fight fish.. it fought from beginning till even surface

felt quite blessed to be back on land... i know my catch is small but at least i could fish 50% from my trip so not all is lost..

thanks bro
sure thing
im from sabah here in Kota Kinabalu
trip here costs usually like this
2D 1N = RM2K
3D 2N = RM3K
4D 3N = RM4K

one boat can fit 12 ppl so as long as you can get 12 ppl to go with, you share the cost among the 12 so its around RM250 for my trip (3D 2N)
bfast, lunch and dinner provided by boatmen, bunked beds provided, cooking stove and toilet/bath also available but all very very basic ya
move out first day around 9am and trip back starts as early as 6am to 7am on the last 3rd day as they want to rush to limited docking space, else u end up parking behind another boat. still that doesn't matter as boatmen will help u load and unload ur stuff
ice is provided, bait you have to bring your own
now that i've been on my first trip with them so all these things i know already.. phew

if u meet good captain, they will bring u to lots of takat, else some very bad and lazy. my trip was very good
except ship bit dirty, u sleep at bunked bed, u will certainly get few cockroach sleep with u one, if u get what i mean

oh and on the boat side, they already prepare steel rod holder to show ppl where their positions are so won't quarrel
u can bring extra rod holder to play with 2 rods but.. not advisable if both are manual, cos if both tarik, u in trouble so to play with 2 rods better one is electric reel

eh no one told me about this ohhh
aiyo, this really works ah?
that day i seasickness, even my meds taken all puked out, meds no help at all dy, very very bad till i sleep moaning

thx for the sharing bro
really need to try this out then.. aiyo
my fren jio me go nx weekend again... alamak
the one bad thing also i can't stand certain cigarette smell and the diesel fumes, nausea easily cos i sensitive to smoke.. this made it worse

ur fren very blessed to have u oh, yeah its very stressful on the body one as u don't get water and food so no nutrition and gets dehydrated easily. if not taken care properly can be bit dangerous. i got no one teach me what to do oh.. end up just go sleep it out and found out after sleep wake up go eat then puke again. so i decided eat drink during the last meal, was dinner dy then straigh go back sleep, cannot sleep also paksa cos i can't lose any more fluid or food. haih, but im thankful cos i manage to think like that and got thru it
i kesian ur fren also 2 days puke, not easy on body oh..

and one more thing, my 2nd day my legs and hand easily cramp.. not enuf fluid. that is the sign. so 100 plus drinks a must and maybe bring some salt too. now i learn the hard way. but still keep on fishing after drink few more rounds of hot coffee then slowly cramps go away.. i was so worried if big fish pull and my leg cramp..

ah ic, then my case maybe worse, i puked no matter boat travel or stop dy that time, after puke better but then after 5 min sit down the feeling in ur gut or stomach is like twisting again and wana do another round soon but have to wait the volcano erupt..
i will definitely try the band later

oh ya the water really important, to me at least, im quite plump and sweat a lot so water is big issue for me. got one guy ran out of water, lucky he manage to get from others that have extra, no joke. water is gold in the sea...its good u brought big tong bro, it really helps

eh btw, guys, how to diff a titir and a barracuda, the 2 fish looks the same to me
i think i sold my barracuda as a titir price instead, no wonder the shop terus wana buy no bargain...

thx for sharing bro
seems there is another trip on boat but just besides few pulau here, nite fishing this saturday
rm60 from 8pm to 6am. fishing event/activity here plenty it seems.
too bad i no proper kaki to go with

yeah seems rate here is cheaper compared to there in west i think
but if i join this duno if i should go with apolo or just bottom leader. cos during my trip, night is usually calm one and got bite once a while, daytime more bites
but the big ones were caught during night time..
i wonder if this applies same to beside pulau pulau trip

nope, i haven't tried okuma yet, i used to have an okuma classic XT bought from amazon cos that time shops here no bring, now plenty already kns
end up not using that reel and sold to a fellow angler who went deep sea last week. it was his first time fishing and first time on deep sea trip but he lucky cos got fren

btw tmr im going out again to deep sea, reading what fireicecombo said, i sure wana try jig sotong also dy

oh ya i bought the motion sickness band as well dy last nite, hopefully no more donate food to the fish in the sea later...

i think this is a good idea if lots of kaki that always go pancing but i guess depends on location?
i'm in few fishing watsapp group as well so can get to know deep sea trips, bagang/tukun, nearby island, ponds, fishing competition etc
of course it will stray away once in a while or most the time which also keeps the group alive

i based in sabah so not ngam for me, u all go ahead bah
