Bersedia untuk tawan ikan besar di Langkawi,yang amat memuaskan hati.Para kaki pancing bolehlah hubungi saya untuk kita sama-sama turun ke laut untuk bertarung dengan ikan yang besar.Memang puas hati,saya coretkan sedikit pengalaman saya sambil bercuti dengan keluarga di Langkawi.

Pada bulan Julai sebelum puasa saya dah rancang nak bawa keluarga untuk bercuti di Langkawi.Seperti sedia maklum kawan-kawan saya yang baru bersara dari ATM,telah pun bercuti bersama keluarga,cuma saya saja yang belum sebab kesibukan berkursus dan kerja, hasrat bercuti terpaksa ditangguhkan dulu.

Pada mulanya perancangan saya,bercadang untuk holiday kat Pulau Perhentian Terengganu,namun selepas kursus Nature Guide di Perlis, bertemu dengan kawan-kawan yang mojoriti datang dari Langkawi.So..holiday saya bertukar sebab kawan-kawan nak buat reunion dan dinner kat Langkawi beserta dengan saya dan geng dari Perak ada 5 orang sahaja,yang lain 25 orang semua orang Langkawi.
          Saya menempah Hotel Holiday Villa cuma dapat 1 malam sahaja,malam kedua saya cari homestay untuk keselesaan mak mertua saya.Secara kebetulan adik lelaki saya yang juga kaki pancing tinggal di Tmn Nilam dekat dengan Hajah Homestay tempat saya menginap.Kami dah pun merancang untuk memancing,dan saya cuma bawa mesin pancing sahaja rod pinjam yang adik saya punya.
         Saya panggil kawan yang sama kursus dengan saya, namanya Rozana,minta tolong dia temankan keluarga saya untuk pergi shoping,sebab saya tak ikut shoping,bagi memudahkan perancangan kami untuk turun ke laut.Saya hulur duit pada adik saya untuk beli minyak bot dan umpan,pada kira-kira jam 2.30 ptg kami mula turun ke jety,ingatkan jauh,rupa-rupanya di belakang rumah dia tinggal sahaja.
        Bawa umpan udang hidup dan naik bot yang agak panjang 23 kaki injen 30hp,cuma 10 minit dah sampai tempat memancing.Kami cuma 3 orang saja siap boleh baring telentang lagi,sebab bot panjang.
Bot kami parking kat muka laut..air masuk ke kuala,dengan air laut yang jernih,tidak boleh labuh sauh sebab nak jaga karang, tempat lubuk ikan besar-besar dok main.Guna batu ladong agak besar,..sebesar ibu jari,dibiarkan tergantung kira-kira sejengkal dari dasar karang.Bot dibiarkan hanyut pelahan-lahan,dengan umpan udang hidup,seekor demi seekor ikan besar-besar di tawan.
        Saya amat berpuas hati dengan hasil tangkapan pada hari tu.Sebab tak pernah dapat ikan sebesar kertas saiz A4.Dalam dok sedap tarik ikan,tali stater injen bot tersangkut lagi..,dah rugi masa setengah jam nak pebetul.Namun begitu jam 7.00 kami bertolak balik sebab nak kejar ke hotel untuk denner dengan kawan-kawan
       Pun begitu saya memang amat berpuas hati dengan hasil pada hari tu.Nak angkat dalam beg berat lebih dari 10 kg,masa cuam lebih kurang 2 jam lebih sahaja dapat ikan Kerapu, Jemuduk, Geropoh, Gerut-gerut, Tebal Pipi, Bawal Cermin dan Jenahak.
       Jika sesiapa kaki pencing nak pergi boleh hubungi saya 012-631 6132,kita turun test tengok macamana nak bertarung dengan ikan Langkawi sambil-sambil makan angin.Saya juga boleh bagi harga yang berpatutan, dengan  turun ke laut awal pagi dan balik sebelum waktu maghrib.1 bot cuma lebih kurang Rm250 sahaja siap dengan umpan dan makan tengahari serta tekong yang berpengalaman.Jika ramai kita akan cari bot tambahan sebab untuk keselesaan, 1 bot boleh naik 4 orang sahaja.Rod pancing bawa sendiri dan digalakan guna tali 100-200 paun sebab ikan besar kadang-kadang berat lebih kurang 5-8kg seekor,hari tu saya guna tali benang 200 paun.

Bot fiber 23 kaki,melalui Pulau Tikus pemandangan yang menarik..kadang-kadang jetsky melintas di laluan yang menganggu keselesaan kami tengah menunggu ikan,untuk ditarik..memang best gilerr..enjoy la..memang terbaik..nak try jom...kita turun tengok baru tau...macamana nak tawan ikan besarr...rasa-rasa esok nak pi lagi..

Here are the basic things you need to know for your first time fishing adventure.

1) How to fish with bait

* Tackle. To plunk the bait, you should purchase lead weights. The weight of the lead would vary depending on the current of the environment. Anglers commonly use and recommend bank sinkers with a number-two hook.

To avoid sinkers to slide, you would need a swivel to act as a stop. To protect the knot, you could use plastic beads between the swivel and weight. Using two appropriate swivels could allow you to rig the sliding sinkers.

* Bait. The commonly used bait for all kinds of fishes is worms. Another popular bait is chicken liver. Remember to buy fresh bait and keep them cold to avoid them from getting soft and allowing the bait to stay within your hooks.

Some of the commonly used baits are cut-baits which include skin from fried chicken, fish entrails, grasshoppers, salmon eggs, shrimps and crayfish tails.

2) How to fish - There are three basic methods for fishing.

* Plunking - It is the most common method used. Use a suitable amount of weight for you to be able to take hold of the bait in a position which is against any current. An option in plunking is to use minimal weight for the bait to move along with the water current.

* Back bouncing - It is done by lifting the bait out the bottom and raising the tip of the rod for one to two feet. Allowing the bait to walk with the current, you should free the back reel or spool. Repeat the steps when the lure settles down on the bottom. Back bouncing is effective in deeper water like fishing in a boat.

* Drift-fishing - It is a simple method wherein you cast upstream or downstream. This may vary depending on the current's amount. You should count the appropriate depth and start reeling.

3) How to fish from a boat - It is important to determine in which location you would perform your fishing. Deeper water needs heavier jigheads compared when fishing on shore.

* With heavy weight which keeps your bait near the bottom of the water and the line straight down from your boat, you are able to drift the boat along with any current. A good technique of fishing on boats is trolling slowly with a fishing device called bottom-walker.

Fishing is easy as long as you're enjoying the trip. Bring some of your family and friends along and make your first time fishing a memorable one.

So here are some pictures that have been taken in my first time fishing at Sandakan...
