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...

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...
