Bluewater Fishing Expedition

stickbom! · 29-03-2005, 03:31 PM

Okay, this isn't much of a catch report yet but I thought some of you guys might be interested to know what junk I'll be using for the very first offshore trip of 2005 :P . Well I've gone through quite a lot of trouble trying to secure SAURUS fishing rods after they went bust about a year back. Happy to say, I've managed to secure 04 pieces of these rods through close friends and I'll be putting them to use this weekend. Here's a map plus some photos of the lures, rods & reels I'll be using

Hey Mike
Looks like U are well equiped for the monsters there......
Good Luck ....

stickbom! · 29-03-2005, 04:20 PM

Will try night jigging if weather holds up. Think my chances of hitting a "monster" is better at night.

edylie · 29-03-2005, 04:42 PM

Woh ... Mikey ... I am sure you are gonna have some serious funs there!
I hope last night earthquake does not affect the fishing in UJung Kulon.

Please send us your pics and Catch Report when you have returned.
Tight Lines.

Cheers,
Edy

stickbom! · 29-03-2005, 04:45 PM

Yeah I heard about the quake last night... some folks here could even feel the tremors

:P Thanks for the well wishes, I'll definitely post photos when I'm back.

land_cruiser · 29-03-2005, 05:36 PM

What is the baitcaster reel in the photo?

Have a nice trip!

L.C- The overhead reel shown is a Pro Gear CS600 with upgraded handle grip from Anglers Outfitters.

Thanks Physlo/Robsen... keeping my fingers crossed too.

rascal · 29-03-2005, 11:40 PM

Wow Stickbom, that's some arsenal you've put together for your "tour". Good luck to the tunas (yellow fin and dog tooth) and GTs there. Have a good trip.

Cheers!

stickbom! · 30-03-2005, 10:18 AM

Thanks guys... I'm at the Airport now. Had some excess weight on my check in luggage and had to carry them jigs on my hand carry bag. What a pain in the butt! :P

Looking on the brighter side of things... the crew on flight VF202 (Valuair) looks good today!

Just saw a few cuties walk by

edylie · 30-03-2005, 10:32 AM

wahahahaahh ... please concentrate on your fishing instead of ladies

Tight lines,
Edy

hon-su · 30-03-2005, 09:45 PM

hey your GFM Rottnest will be perfect for the Sambos here at... Rottnest Island !!
hehe

MarkR · 31-03-2005, 10:18 AM

Hi Mike,

The GFM Rottnest looks awesome man! What's the rating like?

cheers

stickbom! · 05-04-2005, 12:15 PM

Hi Mark,

There's no fixed rating for that rod but I'm using jigs from 500-800g and PE10 on it. It's actually an S-Glass trolling blank :P

Mikey

stickbom! · 05-04-2005, 12:22 PM

I'm back from my fishing trip

Spent two days watching big swells, big storm clouds and enjoying the westerly "breeze" from the marina where my buddy's boat is berthed. In short, I did not get to fish @ all

All is not lost though, my friend gave me some lessons on Marlin tackle, the proper use of a fighting chair, watched some video tapes on Marlin/Tuna fishing and we also discussed how to improve on the current bulky trolling rods/reels. With the new found knowledge, I'll be putting together a Marlin trolling outfit and will try it out as soon as the weather clears up over in Ujung Kulon. I'll try and post the short video clip I took over the weekend, you'll have a better idea of how "nice" the weather was over there.

Hi Mikey,

So it's a Mike Tan GFM special eh? Looks very pretty, the Rottnest!!

Cheers,

Mark

PS. Apologies for not taking the LR86

stickbom! · 05-04-2005, 05:21 PM

No worries Mark, I'm not really sure if I want to sell it anyway... too many fond memories and really nice color too.

edylie · 05-04-2005, 05:23 PM

Yoz, Welcome back Mikey ....

Sorry for the bad weather. This weekend i am heading to Rompin. Maybe Parrots be with us

Cheers,
Edy

Hi Edy,

Remember to ask the boatman to get crabs for bait. Best weapon for parrots I was told

Good luck.

Best regards,

Elo Makaira,

Yeah, the boatman has prepared crabs and my friend is preparing 6 inches live sand prawns also.
