Happy Heart - Impression of Bayu Noer Rachman Caught 150kgs Marlin

Here we show a short impression Bayu Noer Rachman fight with the marlin 150 kgs in Aceh waters using rod with 300 meters PE4 line. 
Before departure to Aceh less healthy body. Flu and fever. So actually I feel when left to it a little less comfortable. Wanted a break in Jakarta alone. But as already promised by Mas Rudi et al (Rudi Hadikesuma) one month earlier then I still decided the way to the province accompanied by Gilang Gumilang, one cameraman Fishing Mania Trans 7. My friends thought I was going to choose Valentine's in Jakarta because of the departure to Aceh this two days before Valentine's Day, but for my Valentine or not the same.
This is my first time to Aceh. When he reached the Iboih, Pulau Weh my casual impression. And usually if you go to my new place is always excited. Probably because my body the time it gets dropped. I began to enjoy the beauty of Pulau Weh when we had started fishing. Although my body is still sore but I began to feel the comfort. Very clean sea. The fish just to look from a ship. When then arrived on the island of Rondo I became a passion for popping. The place is truly amazing. Especially this time the wind and waves are also very nice it would immediately forget the pain and come popping.
The results of our first four days of incredible popping and jigging. GT, rock snapper, Dogtooth Tuna, Wahoo, and so forth. And size is also very impressive. From the grandparents (size monsters) to his grandchildren (small size). It turned out that the potential of fish in the waters around Pulau Weh steady! I do not think at all it turns out like this incredible Aceh. I think only the eastern part of Indonesia that have a monster fish.
Day 5, the last day trip, I was not thinking about fish, let alone thinking about manly fish like marlin. I actually prefer to better enjoy the atmosphere of Weh island waters as this is the last day here. But I believe, what is never seen by the eye and what was never heard by the ears and that never arise in the heart of man: all provided by God for those who love Him.
Trip fifth day we all agreed jigging. I immediately ngejig in the back of the boat, suddenly there was a fish that jumped about 15 feet in front of me, suddenly pulled the rod like a fish but not in the pull down but sideways until the 300-meter rope PE4 is almost gone. I still know if that marlin until finally Mas Rudi shouted "marlin-marlin!". I still believe though Mas Rudi had to shout, just once after his marlin fish dancing absurdly excited my heart. Yesss! Marlin! Wooow! I like new feeling to a new car! Hehehe ...
Frankly I'm confused again describe my feelings when it fights with marlin fish. Happy, worried, and tired of mixed into one. The first hour alone I've felt nyut waist nyut ... nyut .. .. Joran had time I shift gears to Sir Apocalypse because dreadlocks and my pants sag. Entering the two-hour waist really want to break. Moreover, marlin fish had several times stomping down that makes it fall. Marlin was remarkable resistance. Mas Rudi also had teased me with "Want to try mas?" When in fact my fishing gear shift gears to him because I was very, very tired. Hehehe. Mas Rudi briefly held the rod and returned to me. I continue the fight while dipijitin Pak Wahyu, awful would happen. Surprisingly after the fish got into the boat were all tired and sore on the body immediately destroyed, which was like going waist fracture was fully recovered. A happy heart drug was very effective!
I know that the demise of marlin fish this could be the hot discussion in Jakarta later. But frankly, the pros more than the cons. Not arrogant yes, but it is reality. Try to counter those who were on board with us, they would know why the fish can not be released. It was my first marlin, I feel I have the right to decide. To my knowledge FORMATION tournament rules also say that to fish marlin over 100 kg also be appointed.
I agree completely with the Catch and Release, and it feels I do not need to talk at length. People know me how. I want to give the picture a bit. We (Fishing Mania Trans 7) was fishing with the kids who ngefans with program Fishing Mania Trans 7 and also very ngefans same Dudit Mas Widodo. After the kids can fish, they immediately say "Om, the fish was released, yes?", But this time we were fishing in the fishing kilogram. This is clear evidence that the program Fishing Mania Trans 7 was successfully embed a culture of catch and Release in order to maintain fish populations and sustainable. I can understand there is a counter with a dead marlin, but suppose they are also equally on board with us, they'll know why the fish were not released.
To be sure, no one can match the sensation strike marlin because these fish conquer really need toughness, patience, technique, and of course good teamwork. I feel very lucky to get a marlin in Aceh. Wonderful memories for me. Moreover, I am fishing with a great team and very solid. Seemed impatient to get fishing with this team again. Greetings strike for the whole team insistent insistently!

Fishing Around Weh Island - Aceh

Weh Island is an island in the territory of Aceh. One of the islands located around the island namely Pulau Rondo is so legendary. Rondo Island is located at 13 miles west of Pulau Weh. This island is already located in the Andaman Sea and almost touching the border region with Nicobar Islands (India) and Thai waters. At this location there are many populations billfish, GT, dogtooth tuna, ruby snapper and pelagic fish and reef fish.
Besides the potential for marine, here too there is the location of a potential fresh water fishing. There is a lake named Aneuk Laot have potential big fish.

Marlin - Become A Target In Trolling Fishing

Blue Marlin Jumping

Trolling is the preferred way of fishing by anglers in the ocean considering the fish caught is usually a fish - big fish are fish such as marlin, marlin fish has the characteristics by the pointed and sharp mouths like a sword.

Usually Blue Marlin is become a target for fishing. This fish can reach sizes over 400 lbs so it is challenging the angler to catch.

Marlin fish usually likes surface lure, so trolling is a way to catch this fish. In the wild, this fish hunt surface fish like tuna or skipjack tuna. Marlin is pure predator fish - these fish while chasing them. The behavior of this fish can we know when he was caught by hook. This fish will jump, sometimes more than 2 meters above the surface of the water. This called "Marlin Dance" and anglers become addicted with this.

Blue Marlin is a fish found in tropical waters and in almost every continent in the world. With a fairly warm temperatures abundant growth of plankton, fish such as tuna and skipjack tuna will be able to reproduce well.  Marlin fish that are predators of course would like the location of these waters. These fish inhabit in the waters of the Atlantic, and Indo-Pacific and other warm waters, and sometimes migrate to the North to seek food in the meeting of hot and cold temperatures in Antarctica are rich in small fish as food.

Marlin fishing can use artificial or natural bait in the form of small tuna fish or mackarel. The bait hook size depending on the size of your lure. For trolling system should  use a ship with a speed of about 8-9 knots to entice these fish. With this speed, feed a row would look like a swarm of small fish that was swimming in the water. A good artificial bait is a pretty bright colors or using a silver-colored baits and bright similiar to the type of fish of marlin natural food such as tuna, mackarel and other fish species.

Marlin fish species which also become the target for fishing is white fish which has a smaller size compared with other type. White marlin known as a persistent fish in fishing. White marlin is more difficult to catch.

Although marlin has not been categorized as endangered fish, but fishing this fish has a regulation. These regulations permit the angler to fish marlin only a certain size and every person who will be fishing in the country are required to take care of fishing permits issued by a state.
Anything other than the marlin fishing is supposed to always pay attention to environmental sustainability for the future of our children and grandchildren.

Snapper Fishing at Alue Naga - Aceh

Project in Krueng Aceh in 1994 was not only useful avert flood, breaking waves and the retaining spring tide, but also bermanfat for "enthusiast" fishing in Banda Aceh.
Since the presence of these giant projects in the estuary of the river Lamnyong, right in the village of Alue Naga and river estuaries Krueng Aceh, rather Kampong Java snapper fish habitat. Snapper fish species is very like life in the rocks into the waves of the second retaining embankments of the river estuary.
Since then some residents who have a hobby Banda Aceh hunt large fish are often spent time at two locations such fishing

Until now Alue Naga and Kampung Jawa never deserted from the "mania" fishing. Moreover, when a public holiday, at least hundreds of people racing to get that big fish. Not all the fish when it will get a snapper. There was even among those anglers have never even once get a snapper. Indeed, not easy to get the snapper. This white fish hunting skills and patience required.  If you want to provoke Alue Naga, first have to know when fish eat and when to fish out of the nest. Also need to know the toxicity snapper when the tide rises and the tides. And that is not less important is the factor of luck.

Indeed, patience is an important element in the hunt, including hunting fish. Fishing without patience, very hard to get the intended target fish. All experienced anglers would agree with this. Because fishing is not just catching fish, but more than that contain loads of art.
Hunting for fish is an art. Not just to scoop up fish as much as possible. But getting certain fish by type, weight and size. We will be satisfied if successful fish desired, although only one fish only.


Unwritten rules

In the world of fishing there is an unwritten rule that must be understood fellow anglers. Fishing mania there are some who take two or three fishing rods. All three are installing a fishing rod.
Maybe when the owner of three fishing rods came to fishing locations is not busy person dating, so he is free to use traditional fishing three at once. But if the fishing location so many have come, then the owner should be to appoint three fishing rods fishing rod, so that others get a place. So also when being drawn between the angler fish pole, another angler must lift rod for a more attractive fish does not interfere with other fishing rod.
The understanding that must be understood fellow anglers. It's an unwritten rule that we must do.

There are many places to fish. Like fishing in swift water, calm water, ponds, rivers, lagoons, paluh, even the high seas. But can roughly be divided into freshwater and saltwater. The difference this makes the hunting field fishing activities become more varied and requires a number of skills and different fishing equipment.

Especially for hunting saltwater fish, it is definitely hunting territory is in the ocean. Sea fishing can be distinguished in many ways and techniques. Can be done on the seafront, in the middle of the sea, on the seabed or sea surface. May use the means of transport such as ship and boat, or do not use it. But in particular there are two fishing activities at sea: fishing from the shore (inshore) or fishing at sea (offshore).

Dogtooth Tuna or Tuna Gigi Anjing

The dogtooth tuna is a large fast-swimming fish in the family Scombridae. It is placed in its own genus, Gymnosarda. It has the large teeth and straight edged first dorsal fin characteristic of the smaller bonitos (genus Sarda) and although it far exceeds them in size, reaching weights of over 150 kilograms, is considered more closely related to them than to the true tunas. The fish is known in Samoa and some other Pacific nations as tagi. In Mauritius it is referred to as the thon blanc, or white tuna. Its range extends from the Marshall Islands to the western Indian Ocean and as far north as southern Japan and South Korea, where the long-standing world record of 288 lbs was caught.



Thats why people call "Dogtooth"



Dogtooth tuna frequent reef environments, with smaller fish being more commonly found near shallow reef areas and larger ones haunting deep reef drop off areas, seamounts and steep underwater walls. The dogtooth tuna is one of the apex non-pelagic predators in its environment, sharing that position with Giant Trevally, Napoleon Wrasse, and large groupers, as well as reef, bull and tiger sharks. An aggressive predator, the dogtooth tuna is an opportunistic feeder that is capable of taking a wide variety of prey items. In most areas the mainstay of its diet probably consists of pelagic schooling fish found near reef habitat, including fusiliers, carangids such as rainbow runners and mackerel scad, and scombrids.

The dogtooth tuna is appreciated in most of its range as a fine food fish and also as a game fish sought by both rod and reel anglers and spearfishermen. Dogtooth tuna used to be mostly taken as an incidental catch by anglers trolling for other gamefish - with natural baits for black marlin, for instance, or with lures for wahoo and Spanish (narrowbarred) mackerel. In the last 10 to 15 years there has been more dedicated effort directed at this species because of its rarity and sporting qualities. Dogtooth tuna are now a highly coveted prize by many European and Asian sports anglers. Large specimens are seldom found where there is significant fishing pressure and can be one of the most difficult gamefish to capture. Their habit of making high-speed downward runs when hooked, even on heavy tackle, often sees the line being cut as it contacts deep bottom structure.

Sharks frequently mutilate both hooked and speared fish during the later stages of the fight, adding to the difficulty in landing them. The majority of dogtooth tuna captures have tended to be made by trolling with dead and live baits or with lures, particularly deep-swimming plugs. These techniques are still often used, with one niche specialty being the use of live bait such as rainbow runners to tease dogtooth tuna within range of light tackle and fly-casting anglers. High speed jigging with a variety of metal lures has increased tremendously in popularity in the last several years as advancements in tackle technology have resulted in lightweight rods and reels that are capable of handling heavy spectra-type braided lines. Some of the more popular destinations for anglers seeking this species include Okinawa and other islands of southern Japan, Rodrigues and other Indian Ocean islands such as the Ujung Kulon, Binuangeun, Bali and elsewhere in Nusa Tenggara in Indonesia, the Great Barrier Reef and its outlying atolls, and many Western Pacific islands such as Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga and Samoa.

It is one of the most hunted fish by anglers because of its power is very strong. These fish are usually obtained with the technique of jigging and popping.

Giant Trevally (GT) or Kuwe Gerong

Giant Trevally or commonly called the GT and in Indonesia called Kuwe Gerong is a highly sought after fish by anglers because of its power is very strong. These fish can be obtained by trolling, jigging and popping.

Description
The giant trevally is the largest member of the genus Caranx, and the fifth largest member of the family Carangidae (exceeded by the yellowtail amberjack, greater amberjack, leerfish and rainbow runner), with a recorded maximum length of 170 cm and a weight of 80 kg. Specimens this size are very rare, with the species only occasionally seen at lengths greater than 80 cm. It appears the Hawaiian Islands contain the largest individuals, where indivduals over 100 lbs are common. Elsewhere in the world, only three individuals over 100 lbs have been reported to the IGFA.
The giant trevally is similar in shape to a number of other large jacks and trevallies, having an ovate, moderately compressed body with the dorsal profile more convex than the ventral profile, particularly anteriorly. The dorsal fin is in two parts, the first consisting of 8 spines and the second of 1 spine followed by 18 to 21 soft rays. The anal fin consists of 2 anteriorly detached spines followed by 1 spine and 15 to 17 soft rays. The pelvic fins contain 1 spine and 19 to 21 soft rays. The caudal fin is strongly forked, and the pectoral fins are falcate, being longer than the length of the head. The lateral line has a pronounced and moderately long anterior arch, with the curved section intersecting the straight section below the lobe of the second dorsal fin. The curved section of the lateral line contains 58-64 scales while the straight section contains 0 to 4 scales and 26 to 38 very strong scutes. The chest is devoid of scales with the exception of a small patch of scales in front of the pelvic fins. The upper jaw contains a series of strong outer canines with an inner band of smaller teeth, while the lower jaw contains a single row of conical teeth. The species has 20 to 24 gill rakers in total and there are 24 vertebrae present. The eye is covered by a moderately well developed adipose eyelid, and the posterior extremity of the jaw is vertically under or just past the posterior margin of the pupil. The eye of the giant trevally has a horizontal 'streak' in which ganglion and photoreceptor cell densities are markedly greater than the rest of the eye. It is believed this allows the fish to gain a panoramic view of its surroundings, removing the need to constantly move the eye. This in turn will allow easier of detection of prey or predator in that field of view.
At sizes less than 50 cm, the giant trevally is a silvery-grey fish, with the head and upper body slightly darker in both sexes. Fish greater than 50 cm show sexual dimorphism in their colouration, with males having a dusky to jet black body, while females are a much lighter coloured silvery grey. Individuals with a darker dorsal colouration often also display striking silvery striations and markings on the upper part of their body, particularly their back. Black dots of a few millimetres in diameter may also be found scattered all over the body, although the coverage of these dots varies between widespread to none at all. All the fins are generally light grey to black, although fish taken from turbid waters often have yellowish fins, with the anal fin being the brightest. The leading edge and tips of the anal and dorsal fins are generally lighter in colour than the main fin. There is no black spot on the operculum. Traces of broad cross-bands on the fish's sides are occasionally seen after death.

Distribution

In the Indian Ocean, the species easternmost range is the coast of continental Africa, being distributed from the southern tip of South Africa north along the east African coastline to the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. The giant trevally's range extends eastwards along the Asian coastline including Pakistan, India and into South East Asia, the Indonesian Archipelago and northern Australia. The southernmost record from the west coast of Australia comes from Rottnest Island, not far offshore from the capital city of Perth. Elsewhere in the Indian Ocean, the species has been recorded from hundreds of small island groups including the Maldives, Seychelles, Madagascar and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands.

The giant trevally is abundant in the central Indo-Pacific region, found throughout all the archipelagos and offshore islands including Indonesia, Philippines and Solomon Islands. Along continental Asia, the species has been recorded from Malaysia to Vietnam, but not China. Despite this, its offshore range does extend north to Hong Kong, Taiwan and southern Japan. In the south, the species reaches as far south as New South Wales in Australia  and even to the northern tip of New Zealand in the southern Pacific. Its distribution continues throughout the western Pacific including Tonga, Western Samoa and Polynesia, with its westernmost limits known to be the Pitcairn and Hawaiian Islands.

Trolling Fishing

Trolling is a method of fishing where one or more fishing lines, baited with lures or bait fish, are drawn through the water. This may be behind a moving boat, or by slowly winding the line in when fishing from a static position, or even sweeping the line from side-to-side, e.g. when fishing from a jetty. Trolling is used to catch pelagic fish such as salmon, mackerel and kingfish.

Trolling can be phonetically confused with trawling, a different method of fishing where a net (trawl) is drawn through the water instead of lines. Trolling is used both for recreational and commercial fishing whereas trawling is used mainly for commercial fishing.

Trolling from a moving boat involves moving quite slowly through the water. This can be accomplished with the use of a special trolling motor. Multiple lines are often used, and outriggers can be used to spread the lines more widely and reduce their chances of tangling. Downriggers can also be used to keep the lures or baits trailing at a desired depth.

Outriggers and Downriggers
Outriggers are poles which allow a boat to troll multiple lines in the water without tangling. A boat which trolls enough lines can simulate a school of fish.

Downrigger are devices used while trolling to keep a bait or lure at the desired depth. In practice, fish swim at different depths according to factors such as the temperature and amount of light in the water, and the speed and direction of water currents. A downrigger consists of a one or two metre horizontal pole which supports a weight, typically about three kilograms of lead, on a steel cable. A clip called a "line release" attaches the fishing line to the weight, and the bait or lure is attached to the release. The fishing line is reeled in by a spool powered either by manual cranking or by an electric motor. Using a downrigger can be hazardous. For example, man-made reservoirs can contain submerged trees and other structures beneath the surface which downriggers can snag.

Paravanes (underwater kites) are sometimes used as depth controlling devices, particularly in commercial tuna fishing operations. These kites have various shapes, such as arrowhead paravanes, flexi-wing paravanes, and bi-wing paravanes. The devices can place the lure or bait at designated depths and positions; and in this way multiple devices can be towed at the same time without the devices and bait interfering with each other.

"Spreaders" allow multiple baited hooks or lures to be trolled from a single line. There are many inventive spreader designs, such as devices which cause the baited hooks or lures to move in helical patterns, in a sophisticated emulation of the schooling behaviour of a group of fish.

Baits and lures
Fishing lures are made in various creative designs like this top-water lure
Spoon lureTo be effective, trolling baits and lures must have the visual ability to attract fish and intrigue them with the way they move through the water. Most trolling lures are designed to look and behave like dying, injured, or fast moving fish. They include:

Surface lures, also known as top water lures. They float and resemble prey that is on top of the water. They can make a popping sound from a concave-cut head, a burbling sound from "side fins" or scoops or a buzzing commotion from one or several propellers.

Plugs are also known as crankbaits. These lures have a fishlike body shape and as they troll through the water they make various movements caused by instability due to a scoop under their heads.

Swimbait, a minnow-like soft plastic bait that is reeled like a plug. Some have swimming tails.

Spoon lures resemble the inside of a table spoon. They flash in the light while randomly wobbling or darting due to their shape.

Spinnerbait, pieces of wire bent at about a 60 degree angle with a hook on the lower end and a flashy spinner mechanism on the upper end.

Trolling baits and lures are either tied with a knot, such as the improved clinch knot, or connected with a tiny safety pin-like device called a "snap" onto the fishing line which is in turn connected to the reel. The reel is attached to a rod. The motion is of the lure is made by winding line back on to the reel, by sweeping the fishing rod, jigging movements with the fishing rod, or by trolling behind a moving boat. Lures can be contrasted with artificial flies, commonly called flies by fly fishers, which either float on the water surface, slowly sink or float underwater, in imitation some form of insect fish food. However some flies, such as the trolling tandem streamer fly, are designed for trolling behind a moving boat.

As an example, marlin lures are typically 7-14 inches or more long with a shaped plastic or metal head and a plastic skirt. The design of the lure head, particularly its face, gives the lure its individual action when trolled through the water. Lure actions range from an active side-to-side swimming pattern to pushing water aggressively on the surface to, most commonly, tracking along in a straight line with a regular surface pop and bubble trail. Besides the shape, weight and size of the lure head, the length and thickness of skirting, the number and size of hooks and the length and size of the leader used in lure rigging all influence the action of the lure: how actively it will run and how it will respond to different sea conditions. Experienced anglers fine tune their lures to get the action they want.

Specialized lures made specifically for trolling swordfish use plastic glow sticks.

A pattern of four or more lures can be trolled at varying distances behind the boat. Lures may be fished either straight from the rod tip ("flat lines"), or from outriggers.

In addition to attaching a lure to the fishing line, an oval piece of metal (often hammered or curved for reflective purposes) called a dodger is often used to attract fish from greater distances. Lures designed for trolling with downriggers include metal "spoons" that are often decorated with colour tape, and plastic or rubber "squids" with various colours.

A daisy chain is a chain of plastic lures which have no hooks. Their purpose is to function as teasers which attract a school of fish closer to the lures that do have hooks.

Trolling speed
Baits and lures are typically trolled at speeds up to 7 knots, though speeds up to 15 knots can be used, particularly when boats are travelling to different fishing areas. The speed at which the lure is pulled through the water impacts on the fishing success. The optimum trolling speed varies with different species of fish, with weather conditions and the time of year, and other conditions. For these reasons fishermen use devices that accurately track speed. Trolling motors calibrate speed more accurately than large outboard motors. Trolling plates are also used with larger motors to slow the boat to the desired speed, although some anglers experience mixed results with plates.
Trolling can be effective at surprisingly low speeds.

Six Things Must Be Considered in Marine Fishing

Sea fishing and sea sports facilities are attracting the interest of hobbyist fishing. Subsistence fishing is turned into a source of attraction of domestic and foreign tourists.
Wealth of the seabed and coastal beauty archipelago presents a challenge for pleasure and hobby full impression. As treat waters of the Sunda Strait and Manado as a paradise for anglers. Here are basic techniques you need to know before the fish in the sea:

First : Ship
Prepare the boat to fish on the high seas with waves and deep water challenge. Use a fishing boat, or recreational boats are certainly more comfortable and complete. Usually made of fiberglass recreational boats with sizes of 10-20 GT (groos tone), complete with navigation tools, echosounder, or depth gauges, and GPS or Global Positioning System. Surely with a relatively expensive rental fees.

Second : Fishing Equipment
All types of fishing rods can be used to fish in the sea or the seashore, like fishing "tegeg", the temple of casting, golong, spinning. We recommend that you use fishing line stanza casting, golong, or spinning to the sea.
Use a fishing rod belt, made of plastic with a hole in the middle to keep the base of the rod, or rod holder. When attract fish, the input aperture of the base of the rod to rod belt, rolling strings.
Prepare Ganco or scoop, to facilitate fishing. Tie safety rope (about 9.14 meters) on the stalk hook, for safe hook when catching apart. Scoop-shaped bag made of netting with small eye sizes from 2 to 2.5 cm. Use it to lift a small fish in shallow water. Mouth scoop given a circular frame and stalk around 1-1.5 meters. Do not miss the fish store, a creel, cold box, or hold the fish in the boat.

Third : Lure
Wear a decoy bait fish with taste stimuli, shapes, colors, smells, and movements in order to successfully get fish when fishing in the sea. Can be a fake or artificial bait and bait a real, live fish or fish either die. Usually use live bait or fish mackerel banyar. The attraction comes from dead fish bait smell stimulation.
Artificial bait, called Lure, made of fur or plastic. Consisting of various shapes and colors, like orange, orange, and red are both used for sea water turbid. Artificial bait is black, blue, green, and silver for use in clear sea water. The use of artificial bait is more widely used in the teaser trolling technique.

Fourth : Position
The ship must be in a position to stop the withdrawals of fish, for a lighter pull strings and avoid the fishing line went dead. If catching big fish, pull slowly and wait until the fish tired. Coercion pull the rope at risk of injury due to friction rope strings. If not using the rod, use gloves for safety.

Fifth : Right Location
With the wide expanse of water is owned by Indonesia, many places to be used as fishing locations. Besides in the ocean off the coast, fishing activities can be in shallow coastal waters, such as docks, ports, water corals. Fishing location choice depends on the preparation, ability, and taste.
Take advantage of "rumpon", an object intentionally placed in certain waters. This media has long been known to the fishermen to collect fish prior to capture. "Rumpon" help us more accurately to find the good location of fishing with many fish.
Also, ask for help and guidance of local fishermen to find fishing locations right on the high seas, including the hire boat.

Sixth : Water Condition
Calculated sea water turbidity and clarity. A good time for fishing when the sea water looks clear, bright blue, and blazing sun. Avoid fishing during the cold sea temperatures, because fish are not in the mood to eat.
Marine fish will swim into the lake and hide in corals, if the sea waters in the state is too hot, cloudy weather, the sun covered with clouds, rain, and the swift flow of the river at the estuary. Wait until the rain subsides when at sea, because this situation makes the fish more aggressive and hungry.
At the time of high waves at sea, usually small fish to swim toward the bay. So the big fish will be heading the same direction to eat the prey.

Hopefully, six points is useful, especially for novice anglers. The experience and knowledge will make you to be an expert angler.

Have a nice fishing trip...

Fishing Bait

Bait used to attract the attention of the target fish, so fish are attracted to eat or bite.
The types of fishing bait
Bait can be divided into 2 major categories, namely natural bait and artificial bait.

Natural bait (the temple) is the bait of the same or chemically similar to the fish food in their natural habitat. Natural bait can be worms, shrimp, fish, squid, pellet, bait esence and so forth.
Artificial bait (lure) is a special bait for predatory fish both freshwater and sea water are made in such a way that resembles the shape and movement of natural food fish in their natural habitat. Several types of artificial bait include: minnow, poppers, metal jigs, konahead, spoon, crankbait, stickbait, spinner, jig heads, soft plastic lure, feather jigs, etc..

Fishing in Indonesia - Its Fun

Sea fishing is a fun activity, because the challenges are felt by the angler is able to drain the adrenalin in a swift, fair if the current group of hobbyist this sea angler fish are increasingly springing up everywhere. One of the keys to make sea fishing activity is more interesting is knowing Fishing strategic location.
Basically, the location of fish in the sea consists of 3 places, namely: Fishing on the edge of the sea, fishing in sea surface and fishing in themiddle of the sea, all have their own challenges, stay adapted to the wishes and condition of the fisherman.

Fishing on the Edge of the Sea
Location of fishing on the seafront is chosen by many anglers, especially those who do not allocate so much time to fish. Fishing on the seafront of this has the advantage, that is frugal and not draining a lot.
Only needed angler sat on the edge of the sea fishing is patience, because the fish is on the edge of the sea is not as much and not as big in the middle of the sea. However, wherever the location, fish in the sea still provides sensation for the angler.
Condition of Indonesia that many surrounded by the ocean makes the location for fishing on the seafront exist anywhere, except that no coastal seas, such as hilly areas that directly meets the beach. Characteristics of a suitable place for fishing on the seafront is a beach that is choppy, not great, and the landscape is gently sloping beach.
One of the places that are often used angler to fish in the sea is Kenjeran coast of Surabaya. Because the waves are not big waves, the fish here are usually small.

Fishing in the Sea Surface
Location fishing sea surface has been chosen by the angler who has a big enough budget and time that much, because the fisherman had to find a good location and not infrequently the fisherman had to hire a boat to look for a relaxing location that became a favorite place fish in the sea.
Rocky shore anglers usually opt for the location of fish in the sea surface, because this reef fish is a good hiding place. Because not all rocky shore, then the angler is not uncommon to use a boat to find a place that many fish.
Places like the craggy coast Kambang Bale in Malang and Jember Watu Ulo beach is a gathering place for some fish in the sea, so it would not hurt if the angler makes a lot of these two beaches as a place to fish species of sea surface.

Fishing in the Middle of the Sea
The location of fish in the middle of the sea is often the choice of professional anglers, therefore, fish in the sea requires a large enough budget and a long time, because in addition to rent a boat equipped with GPS and Fishfinder equipment that can find the location of a gathering place fish in the sea, also need to have sophisticated equipment because of big waves and fish in the sea are known for having the power of a strong and not easily give up.
Because fishing gear at sea is already quite sophisticated, anglers typically uses his hobby to show greatness. Therefore, there are several locations of the angler's favorite fish, such as Mount Krakatoa, Pelabuhan Ratu Pangandaran and Batu Karas. In these places, famous for its fish hard and big. Precisely the challenge that much sought after by anglers. Therefore, fish in the sea, especially in the middle of the sea, always giving the effect of addiction.
However, there are several locations in the sea fishing is also at the same time can be used for camping and recreation such as Pangandaran in Ciamis, Watu Ulo Jember spring Tulungagung Beach, Beach Kambang Bale and Blue Spring beach Malang. And all the place was quite interesting and natural. If you feel like a professional angler, it would not hurt if you try one of these.
