Rompin sailfish and when every fish species is a first

July 9, 2013 by JW 3 Comments

Sailfish coming in to be released.

It is always great to see a family team fishing together and sharing the adventure and new experiences. Our guest fishing with us this time is dad-son team Joakim and nine year old Albin, one of the most well-behaved nine-year old I have ever met!

This is the first time Joakim and Albin is fishing for sailfish and other tropical fish so every species caught is a first for them. Something very different from the salmon-trout-cold water species they catch back in Sweden. I can imagine how very exciting an experience it will be for them just as I feel excited catching my own firsts’.

A small cobia for Albin which gave him some fun on the lighter tackle.

A big yellow-tail scad (ikan selar). Smaller ones can be live-bait for sailfish.

Squid makes excellent bait. But fresh squid is also ohh-so-yummy!

A couple of visits by gar fish to entertain us plus steal our bait.

Small guy, big squid.

Joakim got curious when spanish mackerels keep stealing our bait by clean cutting both the nylon leaders and baits sometimes without us even realising it. He was happy to finally have some of them landed. Albin even landed one about 6kg (13 pounds).

They too, were awestruck seeing the spaniards breaching the surface again and again while attacking bait-balls.

  • HUGE YELLOW-SPOTTED TREVALLY by Paul Colvin in Kuala Rompin. This hard fighting trevally species are not uncommon but those caught are usually much smaller. This is respectable catch by Paul πŸ‘πŸΎ .
