Just watched the latest Kingfisher Video on Burma Banks...must be one of the best catches at BB ever! New boat- Polaris Gold. Biggest catch was a 40kg "Tong Gas" by master Ah Fatt. Multiple hook ups on AJs, Groupers and Ruby Snappers, a lot of action...2 tonnes of fish in all i gather..quite a few AJs too and nice to see the Kingfisher team releasing most of the AJs
Some ultra deep spots over 200m...sounds very interesting
Wonder if 650g Sanmes will work on the BB Tong Gas ???

Thank you for the post MarkR.
Look at those grouper. It does not look like those regular grouper which we have here.
Wondering how is the taste?
Wanna organise a trip there?
Best Regards,
Edy

Hi Edy,
The Kingfisher video says the BB "Kertang"/"Tong Gas" is the Epinephelus malabaricus but i'm not sure if this is accurate. There is a lot of confusion in indentifying E. malabaricus, E. tauvina and E. coioides properly. E. malabaricus & E. coioides are the species that are most abundant in Singapore. The bigger specimens that Makaria and friends have landed at the wrecks are probably E. malabaricus.
My kaki has booked Polaris Gold in early december 2007...very tempted to go but it would depend on my scheduleI don't know much about the logistics involved with a BB trip but from what I hear, the kingfisher team travelled very far to get this very good catch...>20hrs of boat travel to reach more distant spots...kaki has requested we do the same in december too. Strangely, the kingfisher team didn't seem to land any GTs and Doggies!
tight lines

Fantastic haul!!!! Is there any way to post the video online somewhere that don't overtly violate any copyright rules?Not everyone has access to the Kingfisher DVDs these days.
Hi Mak,
Will contact Edy and see if he can do something. These days Kingfisher videos come in DVD format, file size is pretty large so a bit tricky to upload.
cheers
Good fishing ground, hope to fish there 1 day.
i think i had enough of 20 hours boat ride. 2x in my life is enough haha
More pictures
