According to historian Chang Pat Foh, the legends behind the stalactites and stalagmites lie in the story of a poor boy and his mother who lived at a big Bidayuh kampung known as Kampung Kapur located near Fairy Cave.
One day, a Gawai celebration was being held at one of the kampung houses.
Curious, the boy came and peeped in on their celebration, which made the homeowner unhappy. Rather than simply chase the boy away, the mean-spirited homeowner collected some sugarcane waste and gave it to him, telling him there was pork inside.
Happily, the boy went home and presented what he thought was a gift to share with his mother. When his mother found nothing but sugarcane waste instead, she was humiliated and so began plotting her revenge on the proud village folk.
She took a cat, put it in a beautiful dress and threw the cat into the middle of her neighbour’s Gawai celebration to the surprise of its attendees.
They began to laugh at the sight of a cat in a dress. Their laughter brought on a storm, and the sky roared with thunder and lightning. When the storm eventually stopped, all the villagers had turned into stone.
They are what make up the stalagmites and stalactites inside Fairy Cave.
Another version of the legend is that it was the boy who threw the cat in the middle of celebration and that the mother had instructed him to cover his head with a chicken basket so that the curse would not touch him.
Besides the Bidayuh community, the Chinese have also their own interest in the Fairy cave as the cave is believed to be home for Chinese gods and goddesses.
Some of the rock formations were even named after Chinese deities such as Kuan Yin, the goddess of Mercy.
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.

Fighting the Mike Tyson of the sea. Some call this fish the muscle car of the ocean. Giant Trevally fishing is one of the most challenging kind of fishing,especially when you use the artificial lure popping or stick bait technic.They are full of energy,speed and cardio. They normally hunting near rocky area or man made structure like oil rigs,making it harder for the anglers to land them. These challenging areas normally cut the leader or the main line which resulting the anglers are at the losing end most of the time.
