Saltwater fishing memories



Sea fishing collection videos since 2012. These are some of the unforgettable moments for an angler,be it big wave,sea sick,zero bite or weird incidents...bad day fishing is always better than a good day in the office...unless your office was a fishing boat in Paradise.


In this fishing video memory,some favourite fishes like Spanish Mackerel or Tenggiri in Malay, Cobia or Haruan Tasik and Barracuda or Alu Alu are the common catches around Kuching, Sarawak water at the South China Sea.


They can be caught with artificial lures like metal jig or diving minnow or simply live or dead bait like small shiny fish.Tenggiri or Spanish Mackerel required fast retrieving lure technic to catch and they make good eating fish.


Haruan Tasik or Cobia is a very high cardio fish and always give a long fight.They normally can give a sudden dive even after brought to the surface several times.The meat is underated but they can make very good sashimi !


While Barracuda is probably one of the most co-operative fishes.They attack anything that move passing their hunting territories !

Not the best eating fish in any cooking style but they can make very good dry salty fish.

Sea Fishing ,Kuching ,Sarawak for Tenggiri by Jigging

The first fishing trip of the year. The weather was good during the day, just a little bit of strong wind during the night,but did not last long or creating big wave.

Only one strike during the jigging session in the evening but the sharp tooth Mackerel cut the mono leader. Once changed to wire leader,they seem to shy away.
First fish landed during the bottom fishing at night was a sea catfish...and most of the fish later were the same species. Only one coral shark landed ,the rest snap the line. And a bonus barracuda later on.
The jigging and casting session in the next morning near the Satang Island bear no result so we headed back home to the land.
Not the best trip ever but somehow we manage to have fun and enjoy being in the middle of the sea again after about seven months!
Till next trip!!...

The Return of The Kingfish

 Fishing spanish mackerel and queen fish with fast jigging technic and diving swim bait lures. Feel the adrenalin rush and enjoy the beautiful sceneries of the sea,mountains and the sky.


Tenggiri or Spanish mackerel is one of the preferred game fish among local anglers.

It is a migratory species and during this season, it would travel from the East to South West, through the South China Sea.

The tenggiri found here during this period are much bigger and more aggressive, and the catch can weigh between 3kg and 10kg each.
Other pelagic fish such as tambun, kembong and selar, cencaru (torpedo scad), dorado, giant trevally, talang (queen fish), jenahak (golden snapper), grouper and gerut-gerut (sliver grunter) can also be found in abundance at the tukun and unjam sites.

The popular method to fish for tenggiri is by casting or jigging but bottom fishing or drifting can also be used.
For jigging or casting, metal jigs and spoons can be used while live bait is preferred for bottom fishing.
For those who carry out bottom fishing, they can also expect to target species such as jenahak, gerut-gerut and grouper while jigging and casting with feather, pintail, spoon and macro jigs can be effective for trevally and talang, aside from tenggiri.

The sea is teeming with tenggiri.
In the past month or so, anglers have been striking big with these catches, resulting in a mad rush and excitement among fishing enthusiasts to charter boats on weekends to try their luck and skill.

Tenggiri or Spanish mackerel is one of the preferred game fish among local anglers.

It is a migratory species and during this season, it would travel from the north to south, through the narrow Straits of Melaka.

Fishermen had put up tukun and unjam, both man-made fish-aggregating devices, to encourage the tenggiri to stop and hunt for smaller prey taking shelter and feeding at these artificial reefs.
As such, during the migratory season from January until March, this species would lurk near the tukun and unjam for a while before making its way down south to breed.

Fishing for tenggiri at ‘tukun’ and ‘unjam’ sites can be fun but requires a bit of skill.
The tenggiri found here during this period are much bigger and more aggressive, and the catch can weigh between 3kg and 10kg each.
Other pelagic fish such as tambun, kembong and selar, cencaru (torpedo scad), dorado, giant trevally, talang (queen fish), jenahak (golden snapper), grouper and gerut-gerut (sliver grunter) can also be found in abundance at the tukun and unjam sites.
These devices are made from concrete balls, old trawlers and unwanted car chassis or palm leaves tied to rope and long bamboo sticks on the top, and anchored to giant concrete sinkers on the seabed.

The fish here tend to be choosy about how the bait, lures and mainline are presented.
The best way to catch tenggiri is to use the duck feather jig — produced locally using white duck feather — tied to a small torpedo-shaped sinker attached with a hook.
This local jig, which is unique in style, is known to be effective and productive in terms of fishing for tenggiri.
However, to use it effectively, one must have a bit of skill to retrieve it quickly in an intermittent fast-stop motion, to imitate the swimming action of a fish.
As for the rod, I prefer a medium action rod with a light set up — a 2000 or 3000 series reel — with a 25- or 30-pound monofilament line.
