4.30AM in the morning weiyee picked us up at Nigel’s House. We crossed the customs in awhile as we do not want to stuck in the morning jam and stopped over for a early breakfast

We were actually kinda early as the boatman aka fishing guide usually don't work so early.

More anglers arrived most of them were malaysians we were the only group of anglers from singapore. We saw the tackle they had was more on the heavy tackle set, i start to wonder why must they use so heavy set up for mangrove fishing hahaha.

"But somehow we found out the answer at the end of the day"

While waiting for the boatman we got our drinks/food supply from some stalls nearby. Our plan was actually to fish at the mangrove area to target the barra's with lures or live prawns but it did not turn out as what we plan lol. The boatman somehow did'nt wanted to bring us to the mangrove as they belif that slow current are not good for mangrove fishing and also lure fishing will not work there.

LOL WTH seems like it's gonna be a suck thumb trip liao. Think to find a boatman that understand lure fishing in malaysia are still kinda hard.

We had some communication problems with the boatman as he can't speak english lol i can only speak a bit of malay lol , but we try to tell him to bring us to the mangroves.

After like an hour he decided to bring us over to a mangrove nearby.

But we fished not long in the mangroves lol he kept bringing us to bottom fishing spot or bait jiging spot.

  1. Looks like you were sold a pup as we say over here in the UK, You chuck the guide over the side, He should be able to cater for the type of fishing you want to do,
    Hope things get better on your next outing,
    Great pictures though,
    Be lucky,

  6. When it comes to fishing, some goes for fishing as an
    entertainment activity and many depends upon fishing for their
    livelihood. You will also want to have a supply of different lines that you can use.
    All the equipment is included in your deep sea fishing
    charter Cancun and the boat is so nice you will
    want to take advantage of the luxury fishing afforded
    from the Querida del Mar.
