This is my 2nd trip to Ulu Skrang and the 1st time was in 2012 if not mistaken. Nice place and real wild fishing spot.
How to get there? From Kuching to Layar will take u at least 4 hrs by land and another 2 hrs to reach the Ulu Skrang thru the logging area.
The hardest part will be when trekking upstream for almost 4 hours til you reached the Lanjak Entimau National Forest Reserve boundary/border. Even with less catches due to overfishing by the local villagers (during dry season only) but still the wild natures manage to take my breath away. Awesome place!!!!
Its almost a year i didn't go for a fishing trip offshore of Bintulu, Sarawak. Having a good friend and such a hardcore angler@boatmen will suits Ting Hua Leong character. With numbers of good fishing spots and seriously 100% of my trip with him was a successful trip.
This time we are targeting D18 oil rig area which is located approx. around 50 nautical miles from Bintulu shore. It took us almost 4 hours to get there. As usual i'm equipped with jigging rods provided by Extreme Anglers ranges from PE 1.5 to PE2.5.
1st cast with my 1st catch of the day and more follows after.
Never misses the Big Eye Trevally
Ting Hua Leong our hardcore angler & boatmen.
Non stop action early in the morning with numbers of Rainbow Runner in the hit list.
Its been a while that i did not doing some light jigging at Tanjung Datu, Sematan, Sarawak. Contacted some friends and the boatmen so YES!!! ...everything set and i will back to Tanjung Datu for some light jigging.
Extreme Anglers did provide us with micro/light jigging rods range from PE1.5 til PE2.5 rods for this trip. BIG THANKS TO KENNY CHEE!
As usual, pictures tell a thousand stories.

Its been a great time with a great friends while fishing at Danau Sentarum, Dusun Meliau. We managed to get there in less travel hours by driving from Kuching, Sarawak across the border to Lanjak and then hired a boat to Dusun Meliau.
Other routes:
1) Kuala Lumpur - Jakarta - Pontianak - Putussibau by air (it takes more then a day due to flight schedule) then continue the journey by land for almost more than 2 hours and another 2 hours boat ride to the Dusun Meliau Longhouse.
2) Kuala Lumpur - Kuching-Putussibau then continue the journey by land for almost more than 2 hours and another 2 hours boat ride to the Dusun Meliau Longhouse.
This time, we are hunting for Kerandang aka Channa Pleurophthalma. Quick question: Why must go to Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia to hunt for Kerandang? The main reason is because we can't find it in Sarawak, Malaysia as their neighbouring country and mountains as border.
Hope you guys love below pics.

Another days of fishing and this time i'm in Maldives. Onboard "Kandi Hibaru" for 7 days 6 Nights. Technically casting/popping and jigging.
Why Maldives? "I've been there ... something to experience".
Why? A good fishing place to get me near 100 species and that's my lifetime target.
Anyway, thanks so much to Kenny Chee from Extreme Anglers to supply us with their jigging rods range from PE1, PE1.5, PE2hp and PE4.

After planning the trip for almost 6 months and here we are at Bakun Dam, Bintulu, Sarawak. For those that not familiar with the name of "Bakun", its a place that near to Bintulu town approximately 3 hours journey by car. For those that coming from Kuching it will takes 1 hour flight or more than 10 hours drive to get to Bintulu town. To be brief, its a remote area under hydroelectric project in the Island of Borneo.
All the channels and the upriver streams are famous with Sebarau which is locally known as Adong or Juak and widely known as Hampala Macropiledota (correct me if i'm wrong).
Other specimens that been caught there were Semah/Empurau(Masheer or Tor), Tengalan, Tapah(Wallago), Baung, Lampam sungai dan keli.
Below are the pictures from the last trip:
Sebarau aka Kampala caught using Siam Spoon. Set up Extreme Anglers Custom Rod and Daiwa Zillion TWS bait cast reel with a 20lb Powerpro main line/30lb fluoro leader.
Thanks to Kenny Chee from Extreme Anglers for giving me chance to test their new custom prototype rod that will be soon in the market. Easily lift up the 2kg freshwater beast the Sebarau aka Hampala.
I did caught a smaller size Hampala with a micro jig from Eupro 7g.
Kenneth really enjoying the trip and even spend sometimes to fish some Baung (type of catfish).
Nice Hampala caught by Kenneth.
Dom with his catch..still Hampala even small in size. hahahaha
This is the Tengalan fish given by the local fisherman for our dinner. Hardly caught by lures.
Big smile for a big Hampala with a big lure from Storm Thunder Barra.
