Prawning Session at Permas

Prawning at Permas Jaya-Malaysia

Date: 9th August 08 (Saturday)
Time: 8pm-10pm (2hrs)
Charge: RM20 for 2hr

As i happened to be in Johore during Singapore National day just to do some painting of my house for the whole afternoon and nothing much to do in the evening, i decided to go Permas Jaya to visit a newly opened Prawning Shop where there was a promotion of RM$10 per hour for just 3 days. And of course, it will be my very first prawning trip in Malaysia as well.


Nice and clean environment for prawning


Not much people in the evening


Is this yummy enough for you?

At the end of the 2hours, i managed to land 16pcs of prawn in total. Not too bad for a first visit to a new prawning ground for me. However, it will be RM$15 per hour on my re-visit to this nice prawning place as the tempting promotion has ended.

My Sedilli Unjam Offshore trip

Date: 02 August 2008
Location: Sedilli Malaysia
Time: 5am till 5pm

This Offshore trip was organized by Joon and it's a trip which i had been waiting desperately for many weeks. Due to the early timing to board the boat at a shocking 5am, i have no choice but to stay at Joon's place for the night at Johore. Unfortunately, i did not have much rest as Joon and i had too many fishing talks throughout the night and without any sleep for me, its 0230am...and its time to go for some serious stuff.

Our meetup point at the Petrol Station




3am Breakfast at a 24hr coffeeshop

5am Carpark full at Sedilli Port


At 5am when we reach the fishing Jetty, We can see that there are already many cars parking near the Jetty and many people were waiting to board their fishing boat. The main reason for the crowd was mainly due to the news of a recent big havest of Mackeral at Sedili waters and many anglers were eager to land it. However, at our arrival, no one are able to set off for the fishing due to the extremely low tidal condition and all the boats could hardly park near the Jetty. Our malay boatman informed us to wait till 6am when the water are good enough for the boat to move near the Jetty.

Arthur and Winson looking fresh at 6am




Got to use this for the trolling

At 6am, we finally board our boat and off we head to our first fishing spot which would need around 1.5hours to reach. Since there was plenty of time, Arthur tried out trolling with my Boomer lure but somehow, he decided to stop it as his gear was not suitable for Trolling.

Our 1st spot at 0730am


Our first destination was not very promising for me and due to the oily food which i have comsumed earlier and no sleep throughout the night, it become a disaster for me as I got a seasick throughout this trip. What a Merlion day for me.



A nice Parrot landed by Winson



Emperor Snapper landed by the boatman



Me... the Merlion man trying hard to fish



Edmund with his John Snapper



Serious Sabiki Jigging by Arthur




Its lunch time but not for me




Joon with his Cencaru




My precious Cencaru




Winson caught his 2nd grouper




A 2kg Todak caught by Arthur

Bottom fishing was not pretty good but Winson managed to land some good size grouper and parrots. Results on Light Jigging was poor as no one caught any fish on jigs. However, Sabiki Jigging was pretty promising as there were plenty of Selar, Tanbam and Cencaru. Everyone was happy fishing with the Sabiki setup.

I'm exhausted after being a Merlion




Part of our catch in the morning



Catches by the boatman



Finally back to shore



Its hot fishing period at Sedilli




It's my favorite Durian shopping




No fish...buy some will do



Our main objective at Sedilli was to buy these

Overall, this fishing trip was a total failure for me and lesson learnt is to have ample rest before any offshore trip and no oily stuff was to be consumed before the trip. Just Hope that my next offshore trip on 6th September will be a better one for me...('O_o')
