Prolugue: Pekan Sailfish & Squid Mission

Prologue

What is an anglers dream fish? GT? Dogtooth? For sure Sailfish is one of most popular dream fish of anglers all around the world because of the speed, the jumping action, and the beautiful fish itself.

In Malaysia, without a doubt, Kuala Rompin and Pekan located in Pahang are the most famous Sailfishing spot during the season. Since early of April, Chatt Anglers start planning for a 4day trip to Pekan during Hari Raya holiday, 2 days for fishing, 2 days for the journey. Everybody was very excited about it. 

A dream trip that is waiting for months and months and months finally has arrived. Some of us excited, some of us sleepy, some of us don't know what's happening. Departure from Penang around 10am (Finally that's a journey that didn't depart on 4am. Thank god.)
Our taxi driver.
Carsick fellow.
The PVC pipe above is to keep all our rods. Minimize down the space. 
Ben started his engine too.
Don't blow while you are sleeping.
I think Ben got a pair of D, rite?
Full load.
Cigarettes stop at Tapah R&R.
Reaching Batu Cave. Still long way to go. So we have our lunch at Genting Klang McDonalds. The restaurant is full of customers. So we finished it quick.
 The rain starts to pour right after we refilled our stomach and our car. So we continue our journey again to Karak Highway. Then we saw something interesting along the highway, we've decided to stop for it although our captain don't know how to enjoy it! Durians!
The Musang King Durian.
We continue our journey right after the durian stop and get our taxi driver changed.
We are almost there.
 We going to meet our boatman Uncle Chan at the port.
Beautiful scenery at the port.

Our accommodation: Chefs Rest House. A very authentic Malay Kampung style of guess house.
Our room. Sri Gumum.
 Unloading all our stuff.

Where our dinner take place.

Last minute of preparations.
Good Night! Tomorrow fishing day!

Push You To Sea 1.0

Everybody was so excited about this trip <729 Jarak3.0>. But this suppose to named as <Push You To Sea1.0>.

The preparation.

After few jigging trip, Ben is becoming a Sifu.

Sun block spokeperson, below is what will happen after applied.


Newly bought GPS.

This should not named as <729 Jarak3.0>, because we not manage to reach Pulau Jarak for the mission due to heavy waves on the day. So we decided to make a U-turn, Cong (Tuna II captain) also agreed with that.
Sea polution.

Uurrkk... Uurrkk...

Captain DOWN!

So Cong decided to bring us to Pangkor Island for some light jigging and squid fishing.
Bro, beware of the hook, Thaipusam is over.
Cameraman said, everyone looks the same...
Ikan tak ada, gaya mesti ada!
This guy will do any crazy things after beers...

After few hours of light jigging, apollo fishing, squid fishing... seems nothing much happen, and after few cans of beer, we started the push you to sea mission...

Nobody is dare to stand at back & side of the boat... Cong wanted to revenge by shoot us with squid ink... but end up the squid shoot at himself...
Pity Cong...

Nobody was interested in fishing anymore. Drink drank drunk, push you to sea again and again and again and again and again and again...

 This 2 strong guy need more oyster...

After all this crazy moment, Cong said bring us back to his kelong, he treat us some mussels (actually want us to help him to clean up the mussels...)
A bunch of free worker to clean all his mussels. Look at Cong happy face...
Little Cong.

Mussels is served!
 Fresh mussels boiled with plain water. Never taste this freshness before, heavenly...
                                   
 Kasi cucuk saja...

Dinner time:
We temporary having squid phobia for few weeks... see you again in Pekan August.
