To know more about this island pls click here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulau_Hantu
The first time there was actually a boat trip for light jigging in southen islands area but we had a half time break so the boatman bring us to the ghost island for a rest. when the boat enter the lagoon i saw the breakers at the side looks good and feel good to try some lure casting. After some rest me and my kaki's took some lures over for a try, on our way walking over we saw some anglers baiting on the island jetty. when we bypass them i seems to hear them saying something like we are wasting time with lures etc.....
Oh well we will show them that they are wrong hahaha 1 landed a barramundi after a few cast right in front of them on the breaker :) ibr also landed 1 after me hahaha.
So our boatman say let's hop on we go over with the boat lol we landed another good 6 pcs of barramundi on lure right in front of them. Best thing was few of them went on the breaker to try but all they had was watching us landing fish 1 after another.
So this time we planned this trip to the island again and hope the barramundi's are still around.
Reach the island at about 9.30pm water was still kinda low so we take our time setting up our stuff and had our dinner. Some of the guys can't wait till the water level gets higher so they went off trying their luck but lol all return with eggs.
At about 2 plus am Me,thomas and blur blur decided to start fishing as the tide is coming up already. Hmmm sometimes when your luck is good in fishing nothing can stop you hahaha on my first...... cast the rubber just landed onto the water i had a take "GOAL KEEPER" i did not even do anything hahaha.

Once again luck was on my side kekeke i hitted another barramundi when most of them are still sleeping but.... i did not manage to land the fish. Upon landing fish throw hook ......

Hi ben do you meant by the squid jig we used to catch the squids? which one are you refering too?
ReplyDeleteThe white ones (shimano)i got it at hong guan tackle, the others are from seatackle Yo-zuri.
Pulau Huntu! There are lots of golden fin promfets! But you must know where and how to fish them! First of all, such fish, will never take your bait even if you managed to put a live shrimp right infront of its mouth!
ReplyDeleteBut there is a secret no angler knows. I know because I discovered it by accident!
The Golden-Fin Promfets will come to the jetty around August or mid seventh month from 3pm to 4pm. They come in a big school by the hundreds! All that you need to do is to throw in a crump of bread crusts, follow by a line of smallest hooks with fresh bread attached. And REMEMBER, "NO WEIGHT". Once you throw in the metal weight, they run! All gone! Try it and let me know. Good luck!
Be careful, the current near its jetty can be very strong. Once the water below our boat suddenly "swell up" like a hill, resulting our boat diving almost 60 degree into the sea! We were already about 10 feet near the jetty. If the boat went down on its side, it would have capsized!
ReplyDeleteHi Alan can u give me e boatman contacts??

DeleteYou might need heavier line and tackle to account for powerful river flows.
ReplyDeleteNever dawned on me that they might want
to try it, so I was surprised one day in the late-eighties when
my son called and said they wanted to go fishing. Most of the fishable water in the upper river is boulder runs in deep canyons and it
is scenic.
