FISHING TRIP AFTER SO LONG

 It has been months since I last wash my fishing arsenals with sea water. And finally, I have the chance and time to go and dip them in and try to lie some fish with lures. This trip, we went to Pulau Buaya that known as one of the fishing paradise for monster fish among people around Riau Islands. To go there, we have to drove from Batam to Pulau Galang Baru for around one and a half hour, and then boat trip to the South for almost 3 hours. The fare for a 2 day fishing ranges from Rp. 2,8 Million to Rp. 3 Million not inclusives of baits. We brought along some squids for baits that day. Water is quite clear and the weather was a bit cloudy.

we arrived at around 6PM on our first spot. Feeling excited, we hook on the first bait with live fish that we caught moment ago, and within few minutes, a strong jerk on the rod and the fighting begin. It only took 6-7 minutes to know who win the fight. It was a 8kg Queen Fish (ikan talang). Not a bad start afterall....

After that, due to the baits that we bought were not fresh enough, and some of them have gone smelly, the rest of the night, we were ended only with some mediocre sized fish which not worth to mention.

Disappointed by our last trip, we decided to plan another trip for the week after. Now with better preparation, we bought 3kg of "live squids' from the local fisherman. We managed to fished up a 17kg rare shovel head ray, 15kg sting ray, and some good sized fish. The water condition is beautiful, but we were visit by a rain storm at around 2AM with strong west wind and 2-3 meter waves. If there was no storm that night, I believe, it will be a monster fish frenzy for us.



Tomorrow, I'm gonna go for another fishing trip. Who wanna come along?
