Somebody, please ask me out for a date!!! a fishing date....

I'm not that desperate until have to beg somebody to take me out. But any offer would be nice to think that the zero trip I went fishing since 2 months ago. Now opening new shops in BCS mall, selling some girls stuffs, makes me go online more often than before. Not having interest anymore at watching up and down lines of Forex graphic but rather updating and playing games on FaceBook (what the hell??).

Nowadays, everybody I met sitting in a cafe with wifi and having their laptop on table, looking so seriously staring at the screen as they worry that the shares might drop if they took their eyes off a second. Thought that they are maybe too busy that they have to carry their job even at lunch time, instead they are all updating their facebook and busy feeding and bathing their pets in petsociety. Some are busy planting and harvesting their crops. It seems that facebook has enchanted peoples' mind that even some of them sacrificing their Saturday night hanging out with living people, and Sunday with their family and children, for the sake of chatting and playing with their virtual friends and people that mostly they don't know. I may be talk quite loads of rubbish here, but me myself, like I said, also 'attached' to this global phenomena.

Enough said, found out that even our animal friend knows how to fish their fish for lunch. Instead of hunting for preys, it baits the fishes to come using bread as baits. Not only us human know how to use our brain. This bird does too...please enjoy..

oh yeah...the date offer will be appreciated. Send your application to my email or po box....bwahahahah....



on this video, fishing is as equally important as having sexy girl by our side...maybe...even more important than you might think...

Finding the mood back...

It has been ages since I fished last time. There's no urge for me to fish at all. It is not because I don't have time because of too much jobs waiting for me to be done. On the contrary, I have all the time in the world to fish, but I just don't wanna.

Recently, I just purchased a fishing boat and been looking of what type of machine to be properly fitted to the boat. My choice fall to 200HP out board motor from Yamaha. It consumes 70 liter of gasoline for every hour, I just hope that it can run as fast as it drinks too. My initial intention is too have a private fiberglass boat decent enough for me to take for fishing with some friends. Not too fancy, just decent enough. I just hated the small sampan that I usually chartered. Too tiring and shaky. Not too mention lots of excuses made from the tekong whenever there's no fish at the so called "secret spot"...

I discussed with wife on paint job for the boat. Jokingly, I suggested it to be painted in Hello Kitty colors and named it Kitty Boat....she agreed and that's what we'll do to the boat...hehehe...

No pics for the boat at the moment, since I would like people to look at her when she's pretty with all the make up on...

Pray to God that the boat can be taken out for her grand tour by next week to explore more secret fishing spot shared by friends...wish me luck guys....

THIS IS REALLY GOOD!!! TRY IT!! It's value for money...my whole family are using this product now...bathing has always been a routine that we have to do everyday. But now, bathing is more enjoyable after I used this Omnion Spa Shower. Water that came out from the shower head feel so soft on skin and it's aromatherapy of lemon fragrance give a new sensation every time. It said that it can save water up to 36,000 liter / year, but in my case...my brothers and sister love to come to my house just for a shower. Instead of saving, I have to pay more now for water bill...hahahaha....

My daughter, has always have skin problem. Red rashes which I think occurred because of allergic to some kind of substance. I suspect, seafood. But after changing my shower head to this one, now there's no more moaning from my daughter asking me to scratch her arms or back anymore...

There are many similar products in the market, but this one offers 100% chlorine free water which they claimed clinically proven with tons of certificates. And it smells nice too....like they said, it feels like having a spa in your own bathroom....try it!!! You will not regret.....

Squid season is here again!!!! Hurray...

These few days, squids are coming back again. Water is perfect and the habitat underwater is getting better. Seaweeds have grown back. And no more further explanation needed since picture says a thousand words....

Good catch on bad season....

Water condition is still not that perfect. It has been days that I got only 2 or 3 squids. Today, I decided to go early at around 3 PM to start with fishing for some selars. Got quite good size selars days before.

My wife and friend start with fishing for selars. As for me, which is not that much of a fish guy, I went for squid instead although it's still too hot and bright.

My intention to fish at bright day is to test my Yamashita Natural Color series. Because squidding during night time didn't produce any good strike. Yamashita natural color series don't have any glittering skin or bright color. It tends to be darker and I judge that it's not that good to use it at night compared to day time. And as I thought, it produced 4 squids in less than 1 hour (note. 4 is good amounts due to recent bad water condition).

Later when it got darker, I choose to use Yamashita Egi oh Q Soku gold. Its white belly will turn to gold color when it touches water...amazingly beautiful. I highly recommend this one. It produced 6 strikes in less than 1 hour. Some emerged squid charges to the egi directly without testing it first with its tentacles. Very very good stuff. Happy enough, and because some groups of company having a dinner gathering, and the smell of food made worms in my stomach active, I decided to go back for big seafood meal at Nagoya.

Yozuri and Yamashita Egi first try out

Not feeling to fish these few days. Weather is not predictable. Now the sun can shine but later it rains like no tomorrow. My kids are all sick. Nothing serious, just common flu. Durians and rambutans are all in their harvesting season. So is my rambutan farm. Usually, every fruit season, people tend to fall sick easier. Maybe because of the weather, or maybe they just eat too much durians.

Water condition was also not that desireable. These few days, current is moving very strong as in river. It's impossible to squid after 9PM. Nothing to do, and curious about the new branded egi performance, I drove to KTM and arrived at 6PM. Water is very clear and calm. Signs of fishes swimming under my 500Watt halogen lamp. My first try was the Yamashita Egi natural color series, blue color. The color of this particular egi is quite dark. And I reckon it's more suitable for fishing at day time. Movements are perfect. It zips fast and sharp like live prawns. Color is very natural and flashes like fish scales. Played with it for quite some time and at last, first strike. Quite big with weight around 600gr. After photo was taken, it's an hour of relentless rod jerking before I got my second strike. Smaller but not happier because my arms were getting pretty sore and it's a small reward for me. Although Yamashita natural color is pretty for human eyes, I still think that pink color is still the most favourite color for squid. I saw few squids just pass me by without even turning their head to see my egi. Compared to the 1.8 size red-colored Yozuri egi that I usually use.

Yamashita Natural Color series

Next, it was Yozuri Neo Skeleton time for action. My favourite color for egi, pink. Only minutes taken for first bite. Compared to Yamashita natural color, in color wise, Yozuri is better. Although people said that all egis are the same, only the technique of fisher is differ. I don't agree on this. Good techniques have to be boosten up by good arsenal. Good egi can increase strike rate. I once witnessed 5 different egi including my Yozuri egi were all fighting trying to bluff squid to take them. I saw the squid, zig zag all the cheaper egi and come for mine. Only one thing for sure, they must have put some magic lotion in the production. LOL.

Yo-Zuri and Yamashita Egi

At last, the long awaited egi imported from Japan have arrived. I ordered them few weeks ago from friends I know from Fishing Kaki forum in Singapore. I have ordered few also from Taufik of blacksheephilia.blogspot.com and ready for collection in KTM resort, Batam.

Those I ordered are from YoZuri and Yamashita. Search from their website for latest model. And I especially love YoZuri flashdancer series with its golden skin. Not sure yet whether it will be the love for squid too. Yamashita natural color series looks pretty impressive too. It looks very realistic with it fish like skin.

What matter know is that they all look too pretty for me to dip in sea water and violated by squid ink. Not to say, hooked to corals or weeds. Again, it's not about the price, but 3 more weeks to wait for next batch? Anyway, it's testing time...

My Boat - just for fun

I am still confused in deciding whether to repaint the whole boat or just leave it as it is. It has been almost 1 month since I paid for the boat. And I'm really eager in trying to take it out myself and go hunting for big catch. I was thinking, if I want to repaint it, what color suits best? Maybe, grey bottom with black stips, or maybe even a Hello Kitty themed finish (hahah).


I am planning to use a Yamaha 200Hp machine to power up the boat. Suggested by the previous owner who used 115Hp engine, it will be more fun to use a bigger engine since it will lift up the boat like hovering on top of sea surface.

Recently, just get a Hummingbird fishfinder from a friend. He sold it to me for a very low price compared to the market. Not a very impressive posh one, just a monochromed screen sounder. Got myself a complete sea map of Batam surrounding waters and learning hard on how to read it, since I am a total idiot on this. Live well is done, and currently renovating the front cabin for my guest to stay comfortly inside to cuddle with partners. One last item that is still not decided is the GPS. Still looking for good yet affordable one. I already burned quite a big hole in the pocket. So, it's playing stingy time. Anybody who's experienced with fishing boat, please help me on advice for making this boat fun but not funny.

However, I look quite good on the boat right...LOL

Fear of Fish / Phobia terhadap ikan

Fear of fish or ichthyophobia may refer to various cultural phenomena, such as fear of eating fish, or fear of dead fish, as well as to a specific phobia.

Hari ini, saya bertemu dengan satu pemancing yang mempunyai "kelainan" yang sangat unik. Saya menyebut kelainan, karena dia mempunyai phobia yang sangat-sangat jarang ditemui, dan baru kali ini dalam hidup saya menjumpai kasus demikian. Ali (samaran) mempunyai phobia atau ketakutan yang amat sangat terhadap ikan. Tak peduli itu ikan besar maupun ikan kecil. Menurut Ali, sewaktu kecil dia pernah bermimpi dimakan ikan. Dan mulai sejak itu, Ali takut terhadap ikan dan jangankan keberanian untuk memakannya, bahkan melihatnya saja dia takut. Yang uniknya lagi, dia suka mancing.
Today, I met with someone who have "weird" phobia. I called it weird because during my lifetime, this is the first time I'd heard this kind of phobia. Ali (not real name) have the fear of fish phobia, and a very serious one no matter what size the fish is. According to Ali, he had a dream as a child about being eaten alive by fish. And after then, Ali scared of fish, don't say of eating one, he can't even see one. Another weird thing is he likes fishing.

Malam ini, dia main handline mancing sotong di KTM. Strike pertama, cumi jarum ukuran sedang yang langsung ditariknya ke atas tanpa babibu. Untuk tinta cumi jarum gak banyak, kalau enggak, hitamlah kita semua. Selang 1 jam, terlihat dia mulai menarik lagi "sesuatu" yang berat dari dalam laut. Begitu naik kepermukaan, ternyata sotong batu ukuran hampir 2Kg!!! Begitu nampak, Ali langsung teriak,"APA ITU!!!" sambil melempar benang pancingnya ke teman pancing yang berada disebelahnya dan dia lompat ke atas lantai yang lebih tinggi...hahahha....Sayangnya, karena sotong batu kumisnya pendek dan gak menancap dengan sempurna, sotong batu mendapatkan kesempatan hidup sekali lagi...kekeke...
Tonight, he handlined for squid at KTM. First catch was a moderate size aero squid which he pulled without delay. Luckily, aero squid doesn't have much ink, or else we were all covered with black squid ink. After around 1 hour, he was like pulling something heavy from the sea. By the time the thing emerges, it was a Baktao that weight around 2Kg!!! When he saw it, he immediatelly shout,"WHAT'S THAT!!!" and throw his line to somebody next to him and jumped to higher floor...hahahah...but pittily, because Baktao have shorter tentacles and didn't hook nicely to the egi, the squid have a second chance to live...

Aku malam ini, mendapatkan beberapa sotong size sedang dan 1 ekor yang berukuran lebih kurang 1 Kg. Waktu siang hari, kami berhasil memancing beberapa ekor todak yang dibohong dengan umpan udang. Sekarang, aku kehabisan egi Yo-Zuri dan sedang menunggu beberapa teman dari Singapore yang aku kenal dari web untuk membawa pesanan beberapa koleksi egi ke Batam. Di Batam, sangat susah untuk mendapatkan egi keluaran Yozuri, yang ada pun cuman sisa-sisa model lama. Mungkin karena harga yang hanya bisa dibeli oleh kalangan tertentu dan oleh orang yang benar-benar mencintai nyumi. Setelah menggunakan egi bagus, aku seperti kehilangan kepercayaan kepada merek yang lebih murah. Seperti kurang "main"lah. Memang merek tidak begitu bermasalah dibanding teknik, tetapi akan sangat membantu apabila dipadu dengan teknik yang bagus. Sekarang, aku menggunakan egi Yozuri laser color yang mulai menampakkan potensial sebagai cumi killer berikutnya.
I caught some medium sized squid and 1 that weight around 1 Kg. At daytime, we also caught some todak. I had ran out of Yo-Zuri egi and still waiting from friends from Singapore that I know from the web to bring in some new fresh egi which I ask them to help to find. It's very difficult to find this brand in Batam, only some very old leftover. Maybe because of the price that only few people can afford to buy and have high interest in squidding. After using good brand egi, I seemed to lack of confident in using cheaper egi. It just doesn't have the kick. Althought I believe that expensive brands is not a guarantee to strike big compared to good technique, but it will boost the hit rate if combined. Currently, I was using the laser color Yozuri squid jig which was very potential in hitting big fin squid.

How to prepare your squid for cooking / cara memotong sotong hidup

Some of us might wonder how to prepare our catch for dinner. Here is for start...

Beberapa dari kita mungkin belum tahu bagaimana cara menyiapkan sotong untuk dimasak. Berikut untuk step awalnya...

Noodling

Noodling is a southern US practice of fishing for catfish using only bare hands.

Although the concept, catching fish with only the use of the arm in the water, is simple enough, the process of noodling is more complicated. The choice of catfish as the prey is not arbitrary, but comes from the circumstances of their habitat. Flathead catfish live in holes or under brush in rivers and lakes and thus are easy to capture due to the static nature of their dwelling. To begin, a noodler goes underwater to depths ranging from only a few feet to up to twenty feet, placing his hand inside a discovered catfish hole. If all goes as planned, the catfish will swim forward and latch onto the fisherman's hand, usually as a defensive maneuver in order to try to escape the hole. If the fish is particularly large, the noodler can hook the head around its gills.



Most noodlers have spotters who help them bring the catfish in, either to shore or to their boat. When a catfish bites onto a noodler, it holds on for quite a while.

With some of the biggest fish caught weighing in at up to 50-60 pounds, very few noodlers are strong enough to attempt noodling by themselves. Although carrying the fish after they have been subdued is not difficult, trying to secure a fish and remove it from one's hand at the same time can be a challenge.

Noodling can result in superficial cuts and minor wounds to the noodler. This can be reduced by wearing gloves and other protective clothing. Losing fingers is also a risk, whether from the bite or infection. Most holes are deep enough that diving is needed, so there can be a danger of drowning. A person with confident swimming abilities may be caught off guard by the sudden added strain of carrying a large fish to the surface. Spotters can alleviate this danger, but it is still present. A wounded noodler ten to twenty feet underwater might not be able to return safely to the surface, and drown. Clothes may get tangled or snagged on roots or rocks, so some noodlers wear only shorts.

The largest danger posed to noodlers are other forms of aquatic life found in catfish holes. Far more dangerous than catfish are alligators, snakes, beavers, muskrats and snapping turtles, who will take over abandoned catfish holes as homes of their own.

Big Fin Squid in KTM resort, Batam

Trip tanggal 17 Juni 2009 di KTM resort, Batam. Air surut dengan arus kencang dari jam 5 sore sampai jam 12 malam. Turun ke medan perang jam 7 malam dengan tidak mengharapkan hasil tangkapan yang banyak. Arus sangat kencang dan air bergerak surut. Kondisi yang biasanya sangat susah untuk mendapatkan kuantitas sotong yang banyak, tetapi kalau strike, pasti besar-besar. Strategi pertama adalah menurunkan umpan ikan plata yang dipasang di candit sate, dengan harapan apabila ada penghuni di dasar laut, akan lebih cepat terdeteksi daripada menggunakan capela. Casting demi casting dengan hasil nol.
Trip on 17 June 2009 in KTM resort, Batam. Low tide with strong current from 5pm to 12am. Started to fish at 7pm with not much hope in getting strikes. Water current is strong and low tide. A very unsupporting condition to have lots of strikes. But usually in this condition, we'll get lesser in quantity but big in quality. First strategy is to use selar fish as bait in hope of detecting presence of squid faster compared than using egi. Results, zero.


Sekitar jam 9 malam, setelah memastikan kondisi dasar aman dari sangkutan, saatnya menggunakan capela Yo-Zuri (ed. bukan karena mahal, cuman susah dapatnya di Batam, sayang kalau sangkut dikarang). Teknik yang saya diaplikasikan disini adalah teknik 3 times syakuri, dimana capela dihentak 3 kali sehingga bergerak kekanan dan kekiri. Tidak lama, terasa hentakan dijoran, tetapi sayang, begitu ditarik terlepas. Di ulang sekali lagi, dimakan tetapi begitu ditarik, terlepas lagi....tanpa putus asa, dengan moto minimal mesti dicoba 3 kali, capela dilempar ke posisi yang sama, setelah lebih kurang 15 menit, capela disambut oleh sotong semampar sebesar 700gram. Lumayan, setelah beberapa hari absen narik sotong gede. Tak lama narik lagi seekor cumi jarum ukuran sedang. Sang istri kebetulan juga lagi mancing malam itu. Dua ekor sotong yang kupancing dalam waktu lama sekitar 2 jam-an, dikalahkannya dalam 20 menit. 1 sotong semampar ukuran 600an gram dan 1 cumi jarum yang ukurannya lebih besar dari punyaku...maklum, terlalu banyak dosa ngilangin banyak nyawa sotong...wakakaka..
At round 9pm, after making sure the bottom conditions are clear from derby, it's time to use egi from yozuri (ed. it's not about the price, but it's very difficult to find this brand in Batam. It's a big loss if it stucks in corals). 3 times syakuri techniques is applied. It didn't take long to feel the egi taken by squid. When reeled in, the squid escaped from the hook. Tried again, same jerking but the squid managed to escaped from the hook again. Following the motto of 3 times work the wonder, egi casted on the same spot, and in less than 15 minutes, the squid bites hard on the egi. This time, a 700gram big fin squid landed on my lap...not long after that, a moderate size aero squid were also reeled in. The missus who was also there fishing, beaten the squid that I fished for 2 hours in just 20 minutes....sigh...1 big fin of 600grams and 1 aero squid which happen to be bigger than mine...










Teman seperjuangan juga berhasil menarik 1 ekor sotong batu yang bawa kuali kemana-mana karena takut kelaparan...heheh...lumayanlah untuk malam itu dengan kondisi air yang sangat tidak mendukung.
A fishing friend of mine, also packed up with 1 big squid (baktao). The one with short tentacles and hard back...

AquaSkipper - melompat di atas air / hopping on water

AquaSkipper is a new 6-foot-long Jet Ski that makes you hop on water instead of walking or surfing on it.

The device relies on the hopping motion to propel the ski forward.

It is made from aircraft grade aluminum and has a wingspan of seven feet. For the propulsion the device relies on a fiberglass spring.

The hydrofoils create minimum drag which allows it to go up to 17 miles per hour.

Moreover it is much easier to carry than any other conventional ski as it can easily be folded and packed into a duffle bag.

The device is pollution free and is powered by humans, but still the $500 price tag makes it difficult to own.

Batam Fishing Club Internal Tournament

Sotong Jager pada muncul di KTM Batam

Hari ini, menurut Tidecomp air mulai bergerak pasang pada jam 8.45 malam. Air sangat tenang tanpa arus. Seperti biasa, acara mancing sotong favorit gua tetap di KTM dong. Rencana pertamanya pengen mancing selar seperti hari-hari sebelumnya. Mungkin karena datangnya sudah hampir jam 6 sore, alhasil, tak ada satu ekorpun yang kebo'ong ama umpan sabiki. Seperti ritual biasanya, diganti umpan capela untuk nipu sotong-sotong di KTM. Lempar sana lempar sini, sampai akhir gua tetap boncos alias nol besar!!! Yang lain juga tidak lebih bagus. Cuman beberapa cuminos saja yang narik. Biarpun jarang, tetapi semuanya size jagger. Yang narik pertama adalah Syahrial dari BFC dengan size 300-an, gak lama istri gua yang narik, dengan size 800gram-an...akhirnya, semua pada narik kecuali gua...apesssss. By the way, karena trip survey ke kelong Acuan kemarin, stamina gua mesti dijoss balik, jadi terpaksa gua pulang early banget sekitar jam 9an. selanjutnya...lihat sendiri di foto...
Today, according to tidecomp, water start to rise on 8.45 tonight. Water is calm with no current. As usual, my favorite squid fishing spot remains in KTM resort. My first event is to jig for selars using sabiki in hoping to pack few kilos back like what I did days before. Apparently, today is just not selar day. Not even a single selar bluffed to bite the hook. Next, sotong time. This was also zero for me. The rest that time, they didn't get any better than me too. After a shortwhile, Syahrial from BFC strike with a big fin squid of around 300gr. Next, it didn't surprise me now, my wife with a larger squid that weight around 800gr...Eventually, everybody strike but me. Due to lack of stamina because of yesterday survey visit to the Kelong, I got back earlier than usual at around 9 o'clock. The rest...see in the following photos...

Syahrial, ke KTM karena ngiler sama FR survey Kelong Acuan
Syahrial, to KTM because tempted by the Fishing Report from Survey

Sang Istri sekarang narik lebih banyak dari suaminya...gapapalah
The missus now strike more than her husband...nevermind

tuh kan, sekarang narik gurita
see, now it's octopus

Yuce dengan cumi jarum kebanggaannya
Yuce with his proud Aero Squid

sekarang sudah jago nyumi

now an expert in squidding

tuh kan, sudah jago...sopar jager lebih dari 1 kilo
That proves my words...big fin more than 1 kilo

Beberapa cuminos dengan sotong jager tidak sempat difoto, karena tukang fotonya kehabisan batere, alias ngantuk...
Some photos with big squid were not taken due to cameraman out of stamina, sooo sleepy.

Anyway, tonight is just not my night...yang penting happy lah...
