Rompin Sailfish 12th & 13th August 2005

Day one saw us hit the water before 8am. The bait tanks were filled up at around 9:30am and the Sailfish lines were out before 10am. While setting out the first balloon it was hit but failed to hook up. Subsequently we had a double hook up but one busted off. It was a frantic morning till about 12pm when the bite shut down. As the skipper had predicted, the fish came back on the bite at about 3pm and we ended the day with 10 strikes for 5 landed with 2 bust offs. We also managed to raise one by popping.

On day two we decided to chase some “food fish”. We ended up with 37 leather jackets but not in big sizes. They made for a tasty meal. The session lasted till we finished our lunch at around 1pm then it was off to chase a few more Sailfish. Again they came on hard around 3pm and we finished off with 7 strikes for 3 landed with 2 bust offs.

Om "Fishzone Sportfishing" og Big Game i Malaysia

The Magnificent Sailfish abounds in the calm waters off Kuala Rompin on the east coast of Malaysia. Relatively unknown, it’s only a 3½ hour drive from sunny Singapore where the prolific number of sailfish must be seen to be believed. This is the ultimate destination to fulfill your dream of landing a sailfish many times over. With our experienced skipper armed with local knowledge multiple strikes are always possible. The strike rate is comparable to and if not better than other hotspots around the world but it won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
The season runs from April to October. The waters are calm and it’s not uncommon to see free jumping sailfish on most days.

The other great sportfish is the Mahi Mahi. They appear in great numbers during first half of the season and are great sport on light tackle. They are excellent table fare which can be arranged for dinner. We could freeze a couple for you should you want to take them home.
Even if you are holidaying in Singapore, we could still arrange a quick getaway for you to land that dream fish.
