Local madai cum bottom trip

This was from 1 of our trip few weeks back on a local boat, got the contact from a friend that has been fishing with the boat for many trips. The boarding place was not hard to find but a bit ulu.

Total 9 of us on this trip mixture of baiters and madai-er? lol

The Boat could take upto 10 pax max,heard from some customer from my work that there was once they went 11 the boatman dont want to set off lol. Welll thats the rules....

After having our breakfast and met up with the others i gave the boatman a call to ask him where and how to get to his boat. We had to walk a short distance of grass field but i can tell you its hell of a walk lol all of us been rape by the mosquito.



Ok.... The 9 of us is gonna take this boat out to fish!


Nah..... Just joking

We need to use the small boat to reach the bigger boat.










This was also a trip that ibr wanted to bring his dad along to fish, it has been quite sometime since his dad last fished. His dad must be very happy as he hitted quite a bit of good size fishes.



Some of the equipment we used for this trip

Stella 20000 with JM 3kings


Abu salty stage VS 1 with Palms BAY SALVOR 5ft.9inc.　1pc.　Lure Wt. 80-200g　PE0.8-2＃Power3　Rod.Wt.149g



Daiwa RYOGA PE 2020 with poseidon


This boat is always on the moves did not anchor at a single spot, which is good for madai jigging. In the morning almost everyone tried bouncing madai,only ibrs dad and 2 other kakis were baiting.



First fish on madai of the day, jamie can't even feel there is a fish at the end of the line.


A small Spanish Flag Snapper for me on the JM 100G madai


That was the catches in the morning for madai as the rest of them all change from madai to baiting only me and jamie die heart madai jigging till the end of the trip.

Ibr's dad hitted a good size parrot fish with a live prawn during the first drop if i dont remember wrongly.










Before coming for this trip i heard a few feedbacks from some other friends that this boatman is very lazy and sleeps a lot during night fishing. On this trip his quite hard working in moving spots to spots. When reached a new location if non of us hit any fish he will start the engines and move to another spot. Btw he don't talk much the whole trip i only manage to talk to him like less than 10 times lol.















Double hookups






After a good nap jarrett check is there any fish in the box hahaha


On this trip aylwin trying out a new stuff call tennya hmmm basically its a improve Ver of the hong kong hook hahaha but the result of the tennya was not bad Yo....I guess soon this tennya thingy will be the new game for local anglers










At about 3pm plus i had a hard take on my madai haha finally my hard work paid off { I thought} The pull were strong estimated it could be a 4-5kg fish, i pumped it up about mid water then out of sudden i loss the fish! I turn and told my frineds about it, you know what? at that split sec the fish came back for my madai the 2nd time. But WTH after a few pump i lost the fish AGAIN......

Well at least i learnt something about madai from this trip hahaha

Total catch of the day
We will try to arrange another trip with him next year :)
