The possibility of going to deep sea fishing in May 2010 is high this year and I'm getting more and more excited on the prospects for catching a big fish! I've only eaten a big fish but not caught any before. My own record is a pathetic 400g stingray.
I've started to browse through some literature to increase my knowledge of the fishes that I am going to catch. Hopefully it will help me land a prize catch.
My studies so far has led me to believe in order to catch a fish, firstly you have to know what kind of fish you plan to land and next you need to understand its habitat, feeding preference/method and its active time. I have found this site that put it in a simple diagram. Beautiful!
Next, exploring the limits of my low cost gear, I should be able to (with moderate ability) perform jigging with my biggest spinning reel even though it will be optimum to have a high speed high powered reel for that. Ah, finally able to save cost and then splurge on a deep sea reel for bottom fishing...hee...hee (with silly grin on face).
John has organized a fishing trip next week near Yan, Kedah. I found this blog from the famous Longkang Gang that describes their outing there for tenggiri, the target species in Yan. Here's another site that proves there is tenggiri in Yan!
