Rep Power: 5  |  Sabah 30th August to 3rd September 2006 (Written with Video Catch Report) I have been thinking a lot about catching a Spanish Mackerel lately. This is because in my entire sport fishing career I only caught one small tiny little fellow long long time ago. So, I was excited for a few weeks when one of my sport fishing kaki called to ask if I would like to join him go fishing; targeting at Spanish Mackerel. Our flight that evening was extremely exciting not because we know a good meal and a party session awaits us upon our arrival, but because we made ourselves so comfortable on the plane that we actually shift to sit at the rear of the plane, so that, we could sian the stewardesses. Like as always, our Operation Sian Stewardesses didn’t work out like how we wanted it to be. So, we ended up painting the town red all by ourselves, ending the night with silly moments to recall later on board while fishing, and many mugs of beer in our tummies. Blessed with the perfect weather any fisherman could asked for – bright sun and slight breeze – we set sail bright and early, so that, we could reach our fishing spot earlier and we can start fishing quicker. And lucky we did, because the weather made a sudden change on day two – wind picked up to create waves measuring two to three meters in height and rained non-stop for a day and night – making life tough for enthusiastic fishermen like us. The highlight for day one before we got hit by the wind and for a full day and night, were the landing of the twenty-three pounds grouper and sixty-six pounds (estimated) marble ray. Spanish Mackerel came on second night and most who fished in the rain, out in the cold, while the waves rock our boat like as if they had every intention to want to capsize our boat, and got rewarded with good size Spanish Mackerels – ranging from nine to twenty-six pound in weigh. And our last bust of enjoyment coming from the final day out at sea, when our fellow anglers hit a forty pounds and a eighteen pounds grouper and a thirty-three pounds (estimated) stingray, all before we decide to pull anchor and head back to shore, on third day morning. Back on shore, we explored the town on foot to soak up the local’s way of life and pub hopped like kids put in a town filled with candy shops. We had so much beer that evening with the fishing boat charter’s boss - before flying back to Singapore the next day – that I don’t think my lips will want to touch even a drop of beer for the next one week, at least. And our Operation Sian Stewardesses on our flight back to Singapore, didn’t work out like how we wanted it to be. Nevertheless, we all went home satisfied and happy, with a bag load of dirty and fishy smelling laundry, and no new phone numbers in our mobile. Well. What’s new, aye.

Rep Power: 5 | I got hor. I jigged a barracuda also and had a strong take while jigging on the 2nd night, but the hook didn't set. Line was peeling out for a good 2 seconds before the fish gone. |
