Baramundi Assassination in the North of Malaysia!

This is one of my fishing experience that i would like to share with you guys out there. On the 11th of March, i received an invitation from a reporter from one of the fishing magazine in Malaysia. Our journey this time is to the north of Malaysia ,(Kedah) to fish for Baramundi. If any of you wish to know, Baramundi is actually Siakap. Its well known to be the king of the river mouth. Its explosive and long run fighting spirit is very well respected. I enjoyed myself superbly during this one day trip of fishing the king of river mouth. We had 16 members all togather in this journey, we fished from 9 am till 7pm, and our record is wonderful. 200++ fishes landed all using Lures (artificial baits). Non of us use any real baits, this is one good start for real sport fishing activities.


Our journey started from KL 11pm midnight on the 10th of March. We reach this Tankee roast duck shop at about 7 am the next morning == , its a really long journey. I felt so obelet when i reach the shop. But everything was getting better when i started meeting all the members in a restaurant where we had our breakfast.


The one sitting ony my right is the main editor from the Rod&Line (a fishing magazine). Im really glad meeting him for the first time, he's one of my idol, hahaha.

This is what we had for our breakfast, some very weird type of mee they have in Yan(a town in Kedah). Not bad, i can say.
After charging batery with the mee, we finally started our journey to the main event.
It is another one hour drive from Kampung Yan , to the pond next to the sea. But we still tahan :P waiting to assassinate the long waited Baramundi!.
Finally, after one hour of driving, we reach our destination.


All of them above are my idol, they are very well known in Malaysia sport fishing. I am really lucky to meet them. I read their reports on fishing trips normally, finally i have the chance to fish with them.
The feeding frenzy has begun!








This small kid really have the style of a professional angler! RESPECT!



Here comes Cedric the Fisherman :P









Mr Jeff, one of the magazine's reporter.







FINALLY, after one whole day of war with Baramundi, we get to feed :P the food there is really good and cheap! We have around 20 people and the food cost us around RM250.00 == we will never get good food like that here in KL.









This is a very memorable trip for me, nothing is happier than having a whole day of fishing with a group of crazy people.
P.S must bring suntan lotion, if not you'll be like ah cha like me. :P
