Legend H20 Chalets Family Fishan

Halo... This story about Legend Water Chalets in Port Dickson, Negeri 9, Malaysia...

Before arrive at destination, must singgah Sungai Pelek to get some Udang Power as bait... Dang, udang power is only 30sen/ekor and its power is like I've never seen before in an udang... Sori no pictures... By the way, american online tackle shop is full of bull-sh*t.. I hope they burn down soon...

Umpun2 Kuala Lukut...

Then singgah at Lukut town to get more live bait... This time Umpun2 sarung... Smelly little mothers them umpun2... At Lukut town theres also one tackle shop called Mei Ji Mini Market... That day was 1 Mei, Labour Day for the whole world so tackle shop tutup...

Not Abu Lahab neee...

Tutup...

Then Alhamdulillah sampai to the port... This is what we see from the parking lot...

About 3pm check in... Low Tide time...

4pm, tide started to come in... very fast one...

The picture above shows concrete stilts where the accommodations rests on... The chalets are about 150m from the beach... Air besar was at 8pm and 8am... Air besar is Big Water not as in buang air besar which means to go to toilet...

Now is the check in counter story...

At the check in port, they have rods for hire... RM30/day if Im no mistake... Then the buggy take us to our rooms...

Buggy ride
Arrive in front of rooms...

Now I story for you the fishan environment from the balcony of the room...

Most beatifullest bekas Umpun2
2 lazy chair and small coffee table...
Got grills at balcony...

This is very important feature if you bring 4 kids with you... The grills will prevent the smaller kids from falling into the sea...

Che' Mat my real neighbor and also my neighbor at Port Dickson

Now I story for you about the Room. Very spacios. Have 2 bed that I did not use at all... The flooring is wood... Very spacious room... Again I said spacious aaa...

2 bed, I dono who use...

Waaaa, got study table maaa...

Also got study table if you need to study... I dont need to study la.,but if you want to study can la...The glass for the lantai power enables you to see the sea in real time... The glass is thick and strong... I jump-jump on glass but no break... Strong le tu... This lantai power is infront of the flat screen television which also I dont watch... Again I remind you all, american online tackle shop is full of sh*t...

Lantai power...

Another lantai power in the toilet...

Now I story about the toilet... Power toilet... Have jaccuzi, have poop station, have cool sink, have sky-lite shower, have place to put lures and also have smaller lantai power.. Actually theres no place to put your lures. They give place to put the nice cute hotel sabun and stuff... But I campak these mengarut things and put my lures there, like this...

Lure station near the sinki power... My lures le, this hotel stupid dont give lures...

Sinki power

Shower room with tingkap to see into bedroom... Above head got sky-lite...
Jacuzzi where you can put fish if can catch any...

Entrance to bathroom from bedroom...

Entrance into room is via bathroom... Some stupid Americans complain but they stupid one... Especially those working at sales department of american tackle shop... very stupid... My intelligent wife says this layout good one... If guests from the ocean come, can shake off any pasir in toilet fsrst laaa... Soooo stuuuupid these americans... Complain all the time, no brainer... damn stupid... If you like americans, you are also stupid... Hey any stupid americans reading this? Can you read? Ahhhh... sooooo stupid...

Now story about fishan... Not only can fishan from balcony of room, from the kaki-lima of the chalet also can... like this...

Mr. Onn and 13 foot surf casting setup
Ayong and angah at the kaki lima verandah...

Saleh son of Che' Mat, the most beautiful boy of SMBBB learning to hook an umpun2...
Me and my boys... heheh

Theres a lot of todak that will kejar your lure... And schools of Kitang fish... Mr. Onn caught a bolos, saleh caught a bolos and a ketam and me, I caught a ketam and terlepas...

Now I story other facilities of the hotel... Very good, got kolam renang, sauna and bla bla bla which I dont go to because no time... So no pictures heheh... The boys and my wife go lah to horay2 at these pots... Breakfast is not so good la, janji makan... No pastries comel2, cakes lawa2... But Alhamdulillah mengenyangkan... All in all the room is like any other juniour suite but have balcony for fishan... To go and gelak2 can la, but go fishan NO NO NO!!! Dont be stupid like the americans...

However, I PANGKAH THIS PLACE BECAUSE NO FISH!!! Thats why no pictures of ikan!!! Wasting my time... Jangan membazir!!! Baik pergi ke ONE FATHOM BANK or STRAWBERY KIJAL, I guess la... Have to go la to find out...

-WORKING IS FOR THOSE WHO DONO HOW TO FISH-

KOS-YAN : Memancing Tepi @ Langkawi Indah

Salam Gang Gorilazzz,

Minggu ni punya cerita agak menarik, gambar pun banyak, jauh sikit berjalan kali ni....ke Pulau Langkawi nan indah, YAAAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!


Terima kasih pertama tama sekali diucapkan kepada Gorila Gang member Roy Azral (@ Azrai kat Langkawi je) and his family kerana tolong setup janjitemu dengan Ikan Kerapu Langkawi ini.

Guide saya pada hari tu merupakan otai (old-timer) di Kg Bohor Tempoyak, betul2 sebelah dengan Pantai Cenang dan Tengah. Abang Rahim namanye, anak jati Langkawi yg turun menyumbang bakti..kepada rakyat setempat dan juga geng Gorilaz Pelancong hehehe.


Al-Kisahnya saya kedemaman sesampainya di Langkawi. Chalet Charlie's Motel kat Pantai Tengah memang syiok, bukak pintu je terus mengadap pantai, tidur dan jaga dibuai bunyi desiran ombak di atas pasir. Memang best. Dan menurut Abg Rahim pada waktu "briefing" petang Jumaat itu, kat air-air terdekat ni ada IKAN PARI!!!

Pari yang dijumpai tergolek di pantai depan chalet

Jadi hari Sabtu bila dah sihat tu, depan chalet jugak saya casting!!!! Ada beli 3 lure baru tapi yg terbaik rupanya Gecko River2Sea. Murah pun murah ini lure, manyak syok. Ada jugak la buntal tersesat yg ngap Gecko hijau flourescent saya nih..hehehe. Ada sekali tu ada anak ikan besar 3 jari ikut Gecko sampai ke buih-buih ombak tepi air. Sambil anak-anak kat sebelah main laut dan pasir, saya dan isteri bergilir-gilir castingzan dari tepi tu...tegar tegar.

Casting tegar

Buntal tersesat...tapi pastu dilepaskan. Cuba kerapu....

Hari Ahad hari perhitungan. Saya dah bincang dengan Abg Rahim, disebabkan ini first time saya ke laut, saya tak berani nak deep sea mencari Marlin dan Bluefin Tuna lagi. Jadi dicadangkan kami main tepi-tepi pulau saja, di kawasan coral berbatu yang memangnya serupa housing estate untuk ikan Kerapu. Langkawi ni juga terdiri dari lebih seratus buah pulau-pulau tersendiri, jadi memang banyak pilihan nanti. So lewat paginya, kami pun set off. Menaiki bot milik kapten Cik Dee, seorang lagi warga tempatan. Cik Dee ni bukan pengail sepenuh masa tapi telah mengambil cuti khas semata-mata kerana keadaan air yang tenang nan chantekkk.

Cik Dee, kapten KD Kerapu

Heading out dari tepi Pantai Cenang tu, banyak bot yang diparking tepi-tepi. Nampak macam ada ruang untuk Satu lagi....Insya Allahh...

Jeti keluar ke laut

Abg Rahim dan Cik Dee, sample prep

Mengikut tepi pulau utama tu, kami lalu Berjaya Beach resort dan ke bahagian belakang Gunung Machinchang. Cantik beb, air yang tenang macam nak terjun. Tapi sebab saya pakai life jacket, sure takleh scuba punya hehehe.

Rock Face indah, tempat pot-pot yang kami cuba rendam itu umpan

First hook-up, Abg Rahim

Casting + Koyan = Kos-yan

Lepas dapat bawak naik beberapa "penduduk tempatan", kami beralih ke tempat lain untuk mencari fast action. So Kapten Cik Dee menghalakan bot ke sebelah pulau Rebak, cari ikan punting damak. First time saya dengar nama ikan itu macam. Khabarnya, sedap di goreng garing atau pun di-releasekan ke dalam kolam Kari. Dah rasa, memang syok punn.

Otai double hook up beb

Rakan seperjuangan, dapat buntal meletup baik punyah

Mat Saleh tak betul, casting atas batu. Tapi kalau takda geng ni, gua pun nasib camtu gak beb!!!

Beginilah hasilnya

Spesimen yang cantik

Kami memancing lebih kurang 6 jam tapi tak terasa langsung. Air yang tenang, angin pun sejukkk je..ramai jugak yang keluar memancing hari tu. Memang airnya best pun.
Tapi petang tu, berarak mendung, menandakan tiba masa untuk simpan je gear tu dan balik ke tanah besar.

Hari nak hujan, balik weehhhhhhhh

Video : Naik bot balik masuk pelabuhan



Akhir kata, memang pengalaman pertama saya memancing di laut, tiada tolok bandingan keseronokkannya. Alhamdulillah, kami semua pulang dengan selamat ke jeti kg tu. Masa keluar air pasang, ini sudah suruh kena panjat tangga la pulak. Syok beb. Terima kasih kepada Kapten kapal, Cik Dee dan Abg Rahim. Kalau sesapa nak memancing kasual dan bukan hardcore masuk laut, saya boleh kongsi nombor contact brader-brader ni. Tinggal comment kat bawah je ok?


Keesokan harinya, sebelum pulang ke rumah, Abg Rahim menghadiahkan ketam dari pukatnya yang memang ditahan setiap hari. Bestnye, ketam fresh. Masih berbuih-buih dan ganas menyepit lagi masa kami pack-kan ketam-ketam ke dalam bekas polistrene untuk diterbangkan pulang dan seterusnya mengambil Ekspress Dapur direct ke perut kami. Hehehe terima kasih Abg Rahim!!!

Alhamdulillah, syok trip ni. Sesuai untuk casual fisherman dan beginners berkeluarga. Sapa lagi mau pegi? Air chantek start bulan 11 ni...jom mai Langkawi!!! (promo free lak)

Senja terakhir kami lepak di Pantai Tengah

Salam,
Man Krapoo

Keracunan Tinggi @ Siakap Semonyeh

Salam Gorilla Gang!!!

Memang bulan April ni bulan yang aktif lagi mengasyikkan. Rata-rata perairan di pantai barat dan timur Semenanjung Malaysia tenang dan memanggil-manggil kepada sesiapa yang sudi mendengar dan merapati.

Hehehe minggu ni nak cerita pasal RACUN yang berjaya meresapi. Siapa lagi yang meracun kalau bukan Man Toman (sekarang dah jadi Man Kerapoo, tapi itu cite lain :P) dan juga Sifoo Ecol. Partner saya Ih memang telah cite panjang lebar mengenai keRACUNan sebelum ni, tapi racun kali ni jenis yang pelan-pelan meresapi, tapi bila dah sampai ke sistem pusat saraf (central nervous system) kesannya amat teruk sekali dan tak terdaya dilawan. Kawan-kawan disebelah pun tak dapek nak nolong eh...tengok yyolaahh heheheh

Jadi peracun-peracun ni malam-malam akan lepak di kedai kopi/tomyam cam biasa. Dan setiap kali mangsa-mangsanye turun, akan dibuka hikayat pemancingan yang berjaya di sana, di sini, di sinun, tarik ikan ni, tarik ikan tu...dan setiap sesi minum kopi akan disudahi dengan "Jomlah, bila lagi nak pegi???"
Nak dijadikan cerita, satu hari tu....tiba2 Pak Abu Hamdan tanya saya "Besok buat apa? Jom pegi beli pancing di Serdang" Saya pun ckp " Alaaaaaaahh...pegi KEPONG TACKLE la, baru ada semua kelengkapannya yang mungkin diperlukan". Jadi besoknya saya pun cabut dari ofis kejap, tolong TEMANkan Pak Abu dan Wak Paeng (kawan baik Pak Abu). Diorang ni memang pernah mancing...tapi 10 TAHUN DULU LAAAAA. To cut long story short, lepas 3 jam bershopping sakan, keluarlah kedua2 tu dengan complete set sendiri-sendiri (sorang complete set Daiwa, sorang complete set Abu Garcia siap dengan topi) dan tak sabar-sabar nak merendam umpannye.

Jadi malam tu saya dan Sifoo pegi ke Kolam Siakap Semenyih untuk memberi khidmat bimbingan dan sokongan moral. Mula-mula tu saya ingat tanak memancing sekali....belakang ada terdengar siakap dalam kolam tu ketawa sakan, bermain-main gurau senda dengan kaum sejenisnya dari dalam air. Saya pun taruklah deposit, ingat nak main sejam je. Last-last jadi 3 jam. Kebetulan Ih pun ada di sana pada malam itu bersama Mentor Master Abang Onnzan, jadi kami berlima pun mulalah memancing........

Inilah rupanya, night fishing di siakap semenyih




HASILNYA :

SIAKAP #1 : Inilah siakap pertama yang dinaikkan malam tu, merangkap siakap pertama saya ever!!!!. Menurut kontek-kontek Sifoo, sepanjang malam kolam tu senyap dan kami disyorkan agar jangan main. Tapi kalau dah rezeki, tak kemana heheheh. Tak sampai 20 minit saya casting bergilir-gilir dengan Sifoo.....SSSAPPP!!! Berjaya disangkut dan dibawa ke tepi. Masa nak bawak naik tu ada Drama sikit sebab kami takda tangguk (al-maklum tak plan pun nak mancing) tapi atas keberanian Sifoo MENDUKUNG siakap saya naik....Alhamdulillah berjaya diselamatkan. Saya rasa mungkin dekat nak sekilo jugak ikan ni.

Siakap #1

Siakap #2 : Selepas sejam lebih kami memancing menggunakan kaedah casting dan gulung pelan-pelan, tiba giliran joran Ih pula untuk membengkok seakan mahu menjunam ke dalam kolam. Hehehe saya masih ingat lagi dia berkata " Sifoo, tolong sifoo" bila itu ikan sudah dekat di tebing. Alhamdulillah, berjaya juga di naikkan, dan saiznya lebih kasar dari yang sebelumnya. Ini juga adalah siakap pertama yang dilanding oleh Ih. SYABAS!!!!

Ih dgn Siakap #2 melakukan muqadimah "bersama"

Siakap #3 : Berjaya dipancing dan dinaikkan oleh Pak Abu kita setelah 3 jam memancing. Kira gempak la, sebab ini first day dia comeback dalam bidang pemancingan tegar ni. Hehehe mula-mula tu muka Pak Abu ni dah mula memanjang akibat masalah teknikal dengan rod and reel Abu Garcia multiplier baru nya. Nasib baik ada spare set, walaupun cenonet hehehe. Risau jugak saya masa Pak aBu berjuang tu sebab pancingnya kecik, tapi Alhamdulillah, berjaya di naikkan siakap ekor kuning yang jauh lebih kasar dari Siakap #1 and #2. Tengok la muka bangga dia tuh....steady Pak Abu!!!! Masa nak naik ke darat, perambut terputus lak tu!!! Kelam kabut geng dibuatnya hehehe. Nasib baik OK.

Pak Abu, posing muka ketat dengan Siakap #3 nye

Siakap #4 : Ikan laaaast ni sebenarnya dinaikkan 4 hari kemudian tapi di tempat yang sama. Berkat kegigihan dan daya ketahanan telinga Wak Paeng yang kecewa pada trip pertama kami di atas, beliau telah berjaya menaikkan yang TERBESAR pada lebih kurang jam 2 pagi hehehe. Syabas babe, dah naik ikan tu, jangan lupa balik rumah, anak mintak susu, bini mintak apalagi.

Wak Paeng dengan Siakap (#4) dan senyuman yang TERBESAR PUNYAAAA

Itulah dia kisah 4 sahabat dan 1 sifoo, mencabar kolam siakap di Semenyih. Lepas ni cite mancing laut pulak. Tunggu jangan tak tungguuuuuu..................

Berkat, Selamat!!!!
Man Kerapoo, bukan ali bapoo

Manggo Jack : Kelah Hunter

Greetings from Gorila City,

Just making up for some lost time, uploading some cool fishan stuff on this blog.

Here is a video of my mentor and technical adviser, Manggo Jack from the Keramat Valley. This was taken a couple of years back, when he went on a trip to Taman Negara. The exact location was Kuala Tahan, Taman Negara Malaysia (Malaysia National Park), around Keniam River, Rinching area.

They camped in the jungle for 4 days i think, and on the final day caught this beautiful monster. I know its beautiful because I ATE SOME OF IT!!!!



Here's the video for your enjoyment!





The ending is kinda funny, when Manggo Jack fell into the water AFTER the fish was safely in the arms of his buddy. Mau ganti ka Braz????

Ciao!!!!

Brazan of the Belom

Halo Gorillaz,

Long time havent posted anything new. Just bz a bit with non-fishan aspects of LIFE.
The only fishan that I have been doing this month has been at Danau Biru, so its the normal Rohu Pacu Baung haul. Memang best, but nothing real dramatic to share. Except this one time, a small Rohu i hooked immediately launched itself out of the water....to which the onlookers remarked "SIAKAP!!!" HAHAHAHA....err..sorry, fisherman joke.Which brings me to our featured story.

My good fren and Dam sifoo, Shah Brazan Rapalazan went on an excursion recently. He's still single, so he could actually peel himself off the sofa and PS3 and go into the jungle for a few days. Anyway, these are some pics he shared for this blog.
Enjoin!!!
The Royal Belum State Park (Taman Negara Diraja Belum) is located in Perak,i think. Yes, it is.
Brazan had the opportunity to spend 3 nights there for the sole purpose of fishanzan. Don't worry, its totally legal, they got permits and everything. Not like that one time, when you-know-who caught you-remember-what at you-know-where!!! Can't share any details, just the initials K.E.L.A.H. hehehe

Here is what WWF has to say about protecting the flora and fauna whatever :

In the northernmost corner of Perak, 117,500 ha were declared as the Royal Belum State Park by Duli Yang Maha Mulia (DYMM) Sultan Azlan Shah, Sultan of Perak on 31 July 2003. This park is managed by the Perak State Parks Corporation.

The campsite...koboi je

Getting Ready to Head Out

Getting Ready to Head Out II : One can never own too many rods..

Brazan and Kaum

The most vicious fish in the Park.....took 10 men and 3 days to catch one hehehe, jgn marah brazzzz.

Call of the Ketutu

This catch was in a kolam in serdang... The security guard had visited me to give me the call to go home... Luckily I 'buat tak pot' because unexpectedly I got the call of the KETUTU... heheh... What to expect... we gorilafisharman...

My first ketutu

caught using this ecogear 8gm color code 331 cranckbait

I guess the ketutu is the 'darat' version of the kerapu... The face and the color carries a great resemblance, right???

Doesn't this fish...

look like this fish???

Yep, a little resemblance there. Like the pacu and the bawal, like the king-kong and the gorila and like the gorila and the fishan... The ketutu tastes good simply fried... No fishy-fishy smell... No wonder its about 70bucks/kg... perghhhh...
