Went fishing again with brother nico, time was 3pm till about 7pm at Angler's delight. A jetty somewhere near Kinarut there just before Outward Bound. That's me on the right with one of the fish. The current was moving pretty fast on that day but saw few guys there got some decent size fish, trevally & mangrove jack. One even claimed that he lost 2 MJ when the line snapped just below the jetty. From the description he was telling us and also the size he indicated with his hand which almost twice the span from one end of my tummy to another might have been a typical fisherman's tale of the fish that got away :)


The picture on the right is two things that I like a lot, durian and fish. This fish is called Kitang which is one of my favourite fish to catch for the fact that they are pretty fiesty little fellow.

They fight pretty well for their size especially when you use very light tackle. Well what else can you catch from the shore which give you a decent fix to your fishing addiction. If the fish cant get bigger, use lighter tackle.

Hmmm time to go out for dinner, it's 8.27 pm now and need to go have something before going out with friends for new year thingy.


The graph at the bottom is the tide at the time we went fishing.

Hmmm 30th December 2006, almost the end of 2006.

Went fishing at Nexus Lagoon jetty with my brother Nico and Sissy Jess from 8am till about lunch time.

Shown below is the picture of my nephew Eli, Sissy Jess and Mum.



Started promising with my sissy line got pulled by something which run straight into the coral below the jetty. It is probably one of those pesky smallish grouper the size of your palm.

They do look beautiful but they are too small to keep.

Anyway, shown on the left is our catch of the day. We got so engrossed with catching the fishes that we forgot to take picture at the jetty when we caught the fish.

We use two set of rig to catch the fish locally known as Laimang or Belais I think. One is with a big hook with a large whole live prawn which is basically there to keep those fishes around while we use another two line with tiny hooks probably about size 10 to catch the fishes.


Quite a few managed to break the line / hooks especially the bigger speciments. Shown below is the slightly bigger ones but not as big as the ones that got away.

Anyway the location is okay to fish but will cost about RM 10 per person to enter. It belongs to the Nexus Karambunai Hotel & Resort.

The problem about the area is it does not have any shade. Another source of irritant is of course being a jetty to cater for tourist to go on and off boats to ferry them for a river cruise and other touristy thingy you have to from time to time entertain their curiousity and questions and answers.

Expect to get some cheers and wows and ohhh and ahhhh if you happened to catch any fish. Well at least it's only like few minutes of interruptions every other hour so it's okay i suppose.

Shown below is the tide during that time.
