Cancel My June & August Fishing Trips

Got to call the skipper last week to cancel my trip booking. Got some family activities planned and fellow fishing friends did not feel like taking it up.

I cancel my August booking trip too.

I am getting myself to believe that job of trip organizer at volunteer basis is qualified to film in "Dirty Jobs" of Discovery.

Going Pekan next week instead.

April 22-24 2011 Sea Gull

Wrap-up the 3d2n trip with decent result, overall trip score of 6.5/10.

The only catch of me that is worth posting is this 6kg grouper, caught on dead kembong bait that was soaked for 2 days in melted ice.

We did not do much jigging, at least there was no drift jigging at all. Fellow fishing buddies did jig for 10 minutes or so at few bottom spots, but no bite was registered.

I observed Seagull skipper likes to anchor at point that is very far from fishing spot e.g. shipwreck and use small sinker to let bait carried to the destinated spot. With leader of some 5m long, anglers at rear end got to drift their offering to the target seabed. Whereas anglers at front registered very rare bites.
