Desaru Trip with Capt Zam Jb

This trip with Zam was planned in the off season while i was still sorting out my schedule for 2016. For those who don't know, i have been friends with Zam from the time he started out as Capt Badol's deckie. A humble guy who worked really hard to put a smile on his customers face. He was always excited to see new gear or talk about the latest fishing trends. He was a fast learner and in a short period of time he became the Skipper who drove Capt Badol's boat. Fast forward to today, Zam is the top gun in Desaru. He has his own boat now and he is still as hardworking as he was back in the day. His consistency in putting anglers onto the fish has garnered him quite a following from the angling community in Singapore. His slots are taken up as soon as he opens them up for booking. (Which is why he kindly allowed me to pick my date with him way in advance. :P ) We met up pretty early on the day of the trip. Zam just finished a night trip with some Malaysian anglers and went

Casting For Spanish Mackerel

If you haven't noticed by now, i have an addiction. An addiction to fishing for Spanish Mackerel. These toothy speedsters are my number one target when i am fishing in the East Coast of Malaysia. From Desaru to Rompin and Pekan. Known locally as Tenggiri, they are a priority for me when i am fishing in these locations. Why you may ask? Because, aside from the ferocious strikes and speedy runs, they taste great! (I am highly motivated when it comes to indulging my belly) The thought of having freshly caught Tenggiri cooked for dinner is reason enough for me to get on the water and chase after these toothy critters. There are several ways to catch Spanish Mackerel. The most common ways are to use a wire rig with live bait or to troll for them. Another way is to jig for them using long thin profiled jigs at a high tempo. (You can catch them on jigs with wider profiles, but the fluttering action on the drop often means getting cut off as the jig is falling.) My favorite method i

Squid Season in Rompin

So we went to Rompin to take part in the annual squid season. Armed with ultra light tackle consisting of 1000 sized reels spooled with 4lb braid and 16lb FC leaders and the new Surecatch Ultraxnano Rods. We spent two whole days targeting these molluscs with our Surecatch Cimo Squid Jigs. We rigged up two ways. The first was the most common method which involved using a swivel and attaching a sinker and a squid jig tied to a short leader. You work this rig by bouncing it of the bottom in a Madai like way until you get the squid's attention and it comes to you. The second uses a ball sinker. This is a better rig for searching for the squid as it covers more ground and you can work it higher up the water column. I use a barrel swivel instead of a snap though. We were after two types of squid. The green eye and the arrowhead. The green eye were easier to target and not fussy on colour. They took the jig no matter what we did. The arrowheads on the other had, were a little har
