Pengerang 12/4-13/4

[MarkR]

Thanks to Adrian for fixing this trip up...

Although current this weekend not optimal...raging currents for most of the day and night...we did quite well during the precious 2hr slack period...better than most of the other boats for sure...

Total nearly 20 Ang Cho, not very big but all table size and deep gold in color... and approx 30pc of Macks...

All 4 fishos came back with super full ice boxes

Good catch ! We were next to your boat on the morning of 13th at the pier. We caught 2 ac about 2 kilo and 5 or 6 smaller ack. Got a ray about 8kgs. Sorry guy not pics.

Did you see the monster sharks ? Do you have pic of it.

Hi JBS,

Were you on "Peimoh" boat? That captain is quite hardworking, changing spots quite frequently. Too bad the current flow is not good last weekend. Apparently, current flow for that area is better on chinese calender "1" and "15" for this few months.

Saw the ice box of another group in the pier. They have 5 iceboxes filled with fishes.

My frd took the photo of that 8 or 9ft shark.


Mark - you recommend the date and we go again.....

cheers

Yups, Thanks Adrian too!

Current got a bit worrying didnt it? Luckily things cooled down enough for us to hit the sweet spot.

The 6kg(?) ray doesnt deserve a mention ah? Poor ray....

My back's still kinda aching from the acrobatic acts of strength and weight lifting.

3sa kinda got a nagging from her mom for bringing back too much fish. Which in turns means that I got a bit of an earful as well. Lol.

Pic of the shark caught by the fisherman.

Zhiyang - i though it is a joy to bring back a box full of quality fishes. A few telephone calls and my ice-box is empty. I like those angchor size....just nice for a family of 4. Thanks for joining the trip. Will let you know if i organise again.

cheers

Hi Adrian,

That seems to be a Bull shark. A notorious species near coastal line.

Great catch guys.

Hi Mack,
Our capt was not pehmor. I was thrilled when I saw you guys wear the FNR tees. So these are the guys who so gracely filled in the report in this forum each week for us to droolllll. Thanks for the wonderful report.

Next time I will say hello. You guys were so busy sorting the fishes, huh wondering who the capt ???

This is the first time for us, I kind of like the layback feeling and the good fishing, though Tanjung Pinang boat crew are more pro n better in pr. I supposed different time different place. Definitely will go again. Any chance of being invited ?

MarkR is the taller guy with glasses ?

Great report !!!!!! Thanks

[MarkR]

Hi JBS,

Yes, MarkR is the guy with the glasses & he wasn't wearing an FNR T The couple were the ones with the FNR Ts

We r usually not keen on fishing at places like Tanjung Pinang, Malang Biru, Pengibu...Mack the "old bird" bottom basher will tell you that the waters around HB, EB, Lima, Karang Emas hold the best makan quality fish like Ang Cho, Merah, Grouper, Parrots etc...Yes, still got "red carpets" at Mapor but a lot of the CRs from places like TP, Malang Biru & Pengibu are filled with "slivery & white" fish- Jemudoks, Bulats, Batfish, Kaci, Rays etc...not so good for makan...hee hee

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the leads. never been to these places you mentioned. Fishing craze started last year after a few years of hibernation. Though previously mostly local waters.

Thanks nice to have seen you guys. We will meet again.
