Sibu fishing on captain Raymond''s boat

14 April, at 5am I move out from my place to pick Derrick and team K member Kendy before meeting the rest of the members at JB petrol station for breakfast, but someow I am a guy who have very poor sense of direction and missed the way out and almost got to turned back to Singapore and join the queue again.
With the delay, we decided to use GPS navigation to meet the rest at tanjung leman jetty. But luckily we met when I stop to refill petrol and finally off we go, due to the heavy rain we only reached the jetty one hour late.

The fishing finally begin, it was a slow start for me at the first spot for tenya fishing and I only managed to catch a few small fishes.
By 2 pm there is not much prawn left and captain Raymond suggested to go for jiggiing and out we go.

First catch was my Team finesse member CY who caught a huge leather jacket and the fish give him a run for his money. Shortly after that a queen come to took my jig and give a good fight before landing it. After that a golem spotted trevally took CY's jig and gave him another round of excitement before landing on the boat.

After that action were slow but some long fin trevally came to amuse us before we call it a day.

Raymond is a Singaporean who runs a boat charter in Sibu island and he did not need to be introduced for those who fish in Sibu.

On the way back we had a wonderful dinner at a restuarant in Kota Tinggi before we go for powerful body massage so that we can avoid the jam at checkpoint.
Below are the picture' of our catch, this is Kendy's first trip but she said that she will want to join again.

My birdie 

Today I going to introduce tetsuya tenya, this tenya is the best among all I have used before. The tenya come with an origional Japanese hook which is very sharp, also a assist hook to keep your prawn, the main hook has a very
a nice angle that allow you to present your prawn to the bottom feeder.
 I love to bounce it on the sea floor by lifting it up and down to let it explore the sea floor to search  for the hide out of my target fish. Usually I will leave the arm bail open and my left index finger  to control the line by releasing inch by inch as it bounce. Whenever I feel there is

a nibble I will release a little more of line to let pull then closed the arm bail and start  reel in the slack line and set the hook when the fish start to dash home.
I have stop bottom fishing for some.years however this tenya fishing have draw me
back as it is very different from traditional bottom fishing which park your rod and wait for fish but You have to work your tenya on the sea floor and going past.the structure and avoiding it to snag on to any of the structure. You keep finding the fishes until some one come taking your bait. The tenda come 60 gm, 80gm & 100 gm  weight and with 4 different colors'
 Of gold/red, lumo green,orange and  white.
