21/03/2009 (Saturday)

Location: Keramat, Pahang
Tekong: Unknown
Bait: Wolf Herring, dead prawn
Method: Trolling

Me, edgeliner, ah soon, ah heng left Klang around 2010 HRS and arrived destination around 0130 (because wrong way la…)

The sad part is our reserved room was “stolen” by other group, we only managed to get the replacement & slept at 0400

All woke up at 0630, clean up, had breakfast and the game began…

These two taiko is our trip organizer (ah soon, left / ah heng, right)

Look at this sleepy handsome face [8D]

What is it inside the newspaper?

That’s it!!! Our bullet!!!

Some view of our way to the war field

Begginner luck! Immediate hook up after dropped the bait

Here is the 1st catch of the trip

My 1st barracuda in fishing record

WTF!!

It happened so many times
Total Barracuda of the day

Other catches are not include into this report as until now our mind only floating with these barracuda

** KO **

Great catch. All caught using Ikan Parang trolling? What do you do with Barracuda cos they are tasteless based on my experience.

thanks DocSyed, uncle thomas, and bro Snook Hunter!

Yes bro, all using trolling method with Ikan Parang. Not sure about the taste as it is still in the freeze…

Barracuda are not choosy, they whack anything that you troll behind the boat, why not use rapala mag 14 or 18, or the halco gt trembler.
Barracuda fillet is good for making fish n chip, cheers!

thanks uncle thomas for the tips! will try for coming trip. Is there any leader needed to use with rapala mag 14 or 18, or the halco gt trembler?

xx_1349 · March 24, 2009, 2:06pm

YES, you need about 1m of 50lb wire leader to prevent bite off.
Any color that is silver and shinning .
You can try skirt too on the middle rod [surface trolling]
with diving lures left and right, can use three rods at the same time.
Good luck on your next trip, cheers!

any 15 - 20lb spinning or bait caster will do, like your toman or siakap outfit also can.
