Jigging and popping Lombok Barat, Lombok Island, Indonesia

Fishing trip to Lombok was planned by us for Nov last year but i've cancelled it out due to job commitment. I've decided to shift the plan to March this year.

It was some kind of experiment trip with just 2 days fishing. Amazingly it turns out to be among the most successful trip for me. Again, this time Kenny Chee from Extreme Anglers Custom Rod provides some rods from PE1.5 to PE4 jigging rods and PE7 popping rod.

Jig weight ranging from 60gm-250gm depends on current. Biggest dogtooth was 32kg and biggest GT was 34kg all caught using jigging technique.


Below are some photos:

Open Season for Micro/Light Jigging in Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia

Open Season for 2016 started early this year but not a good start for me. There is still none big fish caught using jig. Pekan, Pahang is one of my favourite jigging spot due to the size of the diamond trevally and long fin trevally ever caught there. Again its not a successful trip.
