Enter the land of the Giant Snakehead

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks bro,they are very greedy will whack anything,believe it anot I used to caught one with a coke can in its mouth ;)
 
After 2 years of long planning the Lunatics were finally back at Pekan,2 years back catch rate for us sucks!Only managed to land an Ebek and lots ofbait fish. So this time we cross our fingers & hope for the best.On this trip we joined our friend Stefan ,due to his deep knowledge in fishing at Pekan our confident somehow rised up.All of us were well equipped than our pervious trip.From jigging setups to casting setups,from jigs to poppers but still we've got one lure that we couldn't get a few more as they were totally out of stock & what lure is that?JACKSON PIN TAIL!
1st day morning Ebek don't seems to be around,changed to lots of spots but to no avail & popping don't seems to pop the right melody,i only managed to get a big miss on FCL Labo stickbait and after that everything got silence.Than 2nd half of the day was hands shaking & sweat dripping, all our Pin Tails got raped & hole punched by the toothy sliver bullets hehehe…. who cares cause our target species were finally hitting!Lesson to be learn when targeting Barred Spanish Mackerel at Pekan (when you saw a big pool of crap,just cast!!!)…..wahahaha….
2nd day was totally different,everyone were so depress as no fish were interested in our jigs or Pin Tails,though that there were no fish around that day but to only to know after we got the news from the other boat that they only were hitting on live baits.What to do,we can't predict everyday what are they gonna hit on right?Anyway live baiting are not our forte lah wahahaha….so even we know we will still stick on Jigging & casting lor.Overall this trip still abit disappointing but confirm its way much better than our pervious one,If we gonna be back again we will sure fully equip with more more & more Jackson Pin Tails!wahahaha……so till then.Enjoy the pics

Looks like some fun catches and awesome dinner. I think the reason you werent getting too many fish is because of the pink shorts and purple turquoise clogs......they see you :) j/k
 
hahaha.....next time i will try wearing all white and see if my catch rate will be much better :)
 
Ever since a big miss on my FCL LABO CS-P 30g in my pervious Pekan trip i was so eager to try this lure on local Toman fishing.As this lure gives a very seductive walk-the-dog action and not only that,i can even chug and pop with it,these are all the main actions that will trigger the giant snakehead to comes to the surface to strike :D But what i really love about this lure is the casting!!!:headbang2
