Well done guys !! I guess you guys have left the pangsai fish out of the picture ..haha .

Great writeout dude! Point to note though... before the ugly eels messed up my 3 hook, 130lb Varivas nylon apollo rig...

Mikey, imho, forget about using soft/pliable mono for tying apollo. Best to use the siffer stuff, like Dupont, Daiwa Shogun or Izorline leader if you can still can find them. Even FC is OK for apollo because they are stiffer than regular leader material. Stiffer mono for apollo rigs equals less tangles & better bait presentation too. Opinions differ of course.

Wow! That was simply, drool, "awesome" guys, drool! Grrreat fishing folks! Can't wait for your video, meanwhile gotta go clean up the mess I've made reading your fantastic report Saimee.

Cheerio!

Yo Saimee,

Just letting you know that Red/Silver Blue fox Herring jigs in 250g size are sold out in Singapore and in JB, even the distributor has run out of them

Nothing a spray can of red, a spray can of silver and a spray can of clear laquer or clear epoxy can't fix

Outstanding trip Guys!

Saimee - you really have a good bunch of buddies, and I can see that you went out of your way to make this trip a success. Kudos to you guys.

Mike - epic, wonder how bad was the hurt after the trip!


Cheers,

Saimee, as always, your CR is superb and really makes one itch

Saimee,
As always, you're one of the best host around.....glad to know Mikey & Storm Wong had fun. Good catch guys.

After hearing of the CR, now the old uncle is pestering me to organise a trip there...regards from him. Take care.

Hi guys,

Mind you share your technic a little bit ? I would love to know, especially for blue fox herring, is it used with treble or assist hook or both ?
Thanks in advance ....

rgds,

[stickbom!]

Lod everything worked. Jigs rigged with a single treble or a single assist hook worked. 3-hook paternoster or long leader off a boom both worked for bottom fishing.

I did notice that a longer jerking action caught bigger fishes on the trip. Just a hunch though... will try it out myself next time
