Lures Fishing for Tapah @ Wallago Leeri and Begahak @ Belodontichthys dinema in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Island of Borneo

This 2nd fishing trip was a last minute planning in October. After more than a months without any fishing activities and i've decided to fly to Pontianak, West Kalimantan to search for the Wallago Leeri & Begahak.

Daiwa Crossbeat & Daiwa Ryoga 1016 set a badly tested by monsters from the West Kalimantan rivers. Belows are some pictures on our catches.

Tapah @ Wallago Leeri caught using Storm Thunder Barra Lure, Daiwa Ryoga 1016 RBC & Daiwa Crossbeat Rod. Loves the fight!!!

Its not easy to lift up monster Tapah @ Wallago Leeri 23kg

Tapah measured at almost 120cm.

Begahak @ Belodontichthys dinema @ Toothed Catfish @Lais Tembiring caught using the same set up. Again Storm Thunder Barra does it.

A 4kg Begahak @ Belodontichthys dinema with Storm Thunder Barra, Daiwa combo reel & rod  did it again. 

Above is the short clip from the trip that i've uploaded to Youtube.

After a 2 days fishing trip in West Kalimantan with a good trophies in my catches list and yet i felt not gonna stop hunting for predators there. Definitely be back there in near future for others monster trophy.

Keen to give it a try in landing in a Wallago @ Tapah?? I might able to help but still we can't fight nature. I'm reachable via email steveraa78@gmail.com or add/follow me on my facebook King Revets.

Saltwater..started fishing with bottom technique

I've started saltwater fishing with a bottom technique. With mullet, sardine, squid and many other as a fresh/live baits. These pics collection was about 2-3 years ago when all the light jigs wouldn't worked in a fast current...definitely need a weight(batu ladung) approx. around 350gm up to 900gm. It is heavy!!!! sometimes it might heavier then a fish that we caught!

Locally known as Jan or Mayong and most probably different depends on districts.

Known as Umpak in Sarawak...some says Gerut-gerut

I caught 2 sting rays of a same size in a row at this trip

Freshwater lures casting/fishing in Sarawak, Island of Borneo (Quest for Hampala, Tor and Channa)

Another adventure of mine.......more to go before i get to all the remote area and i guess 50% of the objective will be about fish.

The last longhouse in the suburb area before we really can reach our destination.

Can't help myself but to dive into a cold river to refresh.....

More on micro jigging fishing techniques

Some other nice moments from our micro jigging fishing trip in Sarawak, Malaysia. Jigging techniques are variable from slow, medium and fast jigging. What other factors that might influence the result? Definitely water tides, jigging action, jig types, jig colours and of course passion! 1000 cast 1000 chances.

It doesnt matter if the jigs are cheap or expensive. For me its still based on individual touch and how u present it(jig action & tempo). 

Seriously every anglers have their own favourite jigs. Some jigs such as IMA ganpeki, IMA Ichimatsu, Storm Skarp, Spike, Shout Shab2 and the cheapest jig by White Rabbit MJ2000 did well especially at night.
