Dungun Gorillaz@ SURF CASTING

Here are some pics i took from my last excursion to Dungun, my hometown. Located on the East Coast of Malaysia, the state of Terengganu it's just miles after miles of white sandy beaches. Take the coastal road and you can travel through all the big towns and capital city.I knew that was gonna some fishan there that morning. There was a slight drizzle and the sky was overcast.



A gorilla fren, Roy Azral had gone to Pulau Tenggol just of the coast but couldn't tahan the choppy waters and strong winds of the Musim Antara Monsun. Anyway, enjoy the pics....

SWISHHHH!!!!

SO LONG, FISHANADOSS!!!

Memancing dan masa depan anak-anak

Apakah sebabnya blog ni lama sangat tak di"update"? Mungkin sebab mereka yang menyelengara blog ini sibuk bekerja. Sibuk macamana pun, kita harus ingat 5 perkara...

1. "The worst day fishing still beets the best day at work"
2. "Working is for those who dono how to fish"
3. "Fishing is for those who know how to work"
4. "Only big bosses fish"
5. "Guerilla is Fishan"

Untuk cerita pendek (cerpen. cerdek tak bleh ka? awat? macam cerdik ke bunyi dia?) Okay, untuk cerpen kali ini, saya ingin menceritakan bagaimana memancing boleh membuat anak-anak kita menjadi manusia berguna di masa depan kelak... Menjadi khalifah di muka bumi ini...

Penyeri kolam

Memancing, suatu aktiviti yang amat baik, bahkan ianya adalah aktiviti terbaik untuk melatih anak-anak kita supaya bertanggungjawab. Ini kerana faktor peraturan, tempat dan orang tidak terlepas dari memancing.

Berlatih muda

Peraturan memancing dapat diajar kepada anak-anak agar dapat diamalkan dalam kehidupan seharian untuk mencapai matlamat menjadi manusia berguna di muka bumi anugerahNya ini. Peraturan menjaga kebersihan, peraturan umpan apa untuk ikan apa, peraturan kekuatan tali, peraturan mengikat gewang dan macam-macam peraturan yang baik lagi jika diamalkan dapat mengajar si kecil menjadi orang yang patuh kepada undang-undang. Sebagai contoh, di kolam bayar pasti ada peraturan menepati masa. Jika peraturan ini tidak diendahkan, pasti kita memancing terlebih masa. Oleh itu, faktor menjaga masa dapat diterapkan dalam hati anak-anak dengan memberi sebiji jam kepada mereka. Dengan jam tersebut, pertanggungjawabkanlah anak-anak untuk menjaga masa memancing. Ingat...

BSM-ILLH-HRHM-NRHIM.
Demi masa. Sesungguhnya manusia itu benar-benar dalam kerugian, kecuali orang-orang yang beriman dan mengerjakan amal saleh dan nasehat menasihati supaya mentaati kebenaran dan nasehat menasehati supaya menetapi kesabaran [Al-Quran, 103:1-3].

Faiq Sultan Pacu

Tempat memancing juga memainkan peranan mengajar anak-anak menjadi orang berguna di masa hadapan. Mereka boleh diminta untuk menjaga kebersihan tempat memancing. Mereka boleh dilatih supaya peka dengan keadaan persekitaran tempat memancing. Mereka boleh diminta menjaga "tackle box" dan mengurus tempat umpan. Pendek kata, mereka boleh dijadikan "caddy" sewaktu memancing.

Tempat dan masa yang sesuai, membawa hasil yang lazat.

Akhir sekali, faktor orang. Kawan memancing mestilah selalu diajak apabila hendak keluar mencari rezeki yang halal melalui memancing. Oleh itu, ikatan persahabatan yang akrab dapat diterap dalam hati suci anak-anak kita melalui aktiviti memancing. Teman tadi jugalah yang boleh memberi pandangan yang baik seperti umpan apa yang hendak dipakai, baju apa yang sesuai dipakai dikala memancing. Mereka jugalah boleh dibawa bersembang sementara menunggu ikan. Oleh itu, jadikanlah anak-anak kita teman memancing kita.

Teman saya dari kecil

Jangan persia-siakan usia muda anak-anak kita dengan mengurung mereka dalam rumah dengan hanya menonton rancangan memancing. Bawalah mereka memancing. Cerahkanlah masa depan mereka. Moga-moga mereka menjadi manusia yang berguna apabila dewasa...

RACUN

RACUN means POISON in the white-man's language. It can be used to kill fish, plantlife or even people...

Orang ini racun tengah merayap dalam badannya...

MERACUN on the other hand is the act of baiting your fellow fishan buddy to do something like go fishan or go to kedai to upgrade his fishan gear... There is good RACUN and bad RACUN. Good RACUN is when the guy that is RACUNNed gets to excape from what they hate doing, for example to RACUN them to NOT TO GO TO OPIS BUT TO GO FISHAN instead.

Mr Onn, racun power

Uncle Major, the only guy that can racun Mr. Onn

Hasil racun...

On the other hand, bad RACUN is when only you get the advantage of the RACUN while your friend or his family sufferes. For example, RACUNNING someone to go fishan and cancel his plans to go to a wedding reception with his family. Now that is EVIL...

Racun reels for sale...

Recently I got RACUNNed... The good RACUN of course. I intended to get a new spinning reel at KEPONG TACKLE so I went with Mr. Onn. I had a few bucks with me and was going to grab something decent for my 6 foot rod. Then Mr. Onn sprayed some RACUN onto me. The RACUN made me think, this reel or that REEL RACUN. The REEL RACUNe had great specs, so I went for it. Its not hard to RACUN me you see, as I am not that RACUN resistant. In fact, you dont have to RACUN me, I will RACUN myself... Then I will RACUN you... I have only the good RACUN, so dont worry...

Jenahak kena racun baru IHZAN

Then off to SEA LION to try out the new SPINNING REEL RACUN... Had a 50lb line on it, a gift from Mr, Onn... heheh... We checked-in at 6.02pm and after about 10mins after the first cast, BANG BANG BOOOM!!! A jenahak sudah naik :D The reel was as smooth as a botol of racun...

About 5kgs of Fresh sea food...

I was all smiles like someone stoned... Went home with the JENAHAK I fishaned and a RED SNAPPER I bought from the peraih... Thank you Mr. Onn for RACUNNING me, may you get fish from SEA LION on the next trip heheh...

Upah menyiang ikan... 2 ringgit/ikan

Now thats the story about RACUN... So, keep in mind that you can RACUN someone to do something for your advantage or to your friends advantage or for the advantage of the nation of fishan-men...

Power of PACU

Hi folks,

Short one today. As Pacu is our most featured Fish for the Month, I would just like to share with you some of the DARKER side of the Pacu.

On Discovery Channel this week, they featured Pacu's long lost South American cousin, the PIRANHA!!! Back in the late 70's, a bus carrying 40 passengers plunged into the Amazon river, drowning everyone in the bus except for one dude. The bus was only pulled out after a few hours and by that time, there was only 3 or 4 whole dead bodies left. The rest were EATEN clean by the piranhas!!! Just the bones were left.....VICIOUS!!!

So next time you pull up a PACU....have some RESPECT.

You might have laughed at Ih doing the Pacu Dance, but here's what one of the Pacu did to his fish hook after one such epic battle. Check it Out.

On the left is the normal slightly used fishhook. On the right is no longer a hook, due to the fighting spirit and raw power of the Pacu.....RESPECT. Dont play play...if you don't believe me, try biting into one of these chemically sharpened carbon-based hooks and try to un-curve it. I bet you'll cry harder than a little gurrrll.

Till then, Respect Nature and All God's creation.

Salam, Man Toman

Ihzan vs Pacuzan : Survivor Spirit @ PACU DANCE

We decided this blog should be dwi-bahasa...so here goes, JOMMMM!!!!

Pacu adalah spesis ikan yang agak "common" di kolam kolam memancing awam komersil. Mungkin kerana tabiat makannya yg rakus dan semangat survivornye yg tinggi, it is a very good choice if you are looking for MEGA ACTION!!!!Pacu ni lompat and gedik macam gila, trying to unhook itself.

When fishing Pacu, make sure the line is always taut (tegang). If not, it will swallow some line and bite it off!!! Also make sure you bring extra perambut banyak banyak, cuz you're sure to lose some when dealing with Pacu. Piranha Melayu la katakaaaan....

Wikipedia entry on PACU :

Pacu (Portuguese pronunciation: [paˈku]) is a common name used to refer to several species of South American freshwater fish that are related to the piranha, which are also kept as pets in aquaria. They are popularly thought of as herbivorous. Their teeth, which may look similar to human teeth, are used to cut through vegetation and crush seeds that fall into the water. Pacu and piranha have similar teeth, although the difference is jaw alignments; piranha have pointed, razor-sharp teeth in a pronounced underbite, whereas pacu have squarer, straighter teeth in a less severe underbite, or a slight overbite.^[1] Additionally, full-grown pacu are much larger than piranha, reaching up to 30 kg (60 pounds) in weight, in the wild.

The Baiter Master Tasik Monster

Aloha gorilaz... This is my first post... POWER...

First of all thanks to MAN TOMAN whom made an effort to start this blog. Also a special thanks to SHAH-PRAZAN whom tought me how to use a popper while out in the wild at the KLANG GATES... I've got a TASEK MONSTER weighing 2.1kgs 3 weeks back using a popper :D

Okay, eough mumbo-jumbo and lets get down to FISHAN!!!

Today, in the morning I already got 2 PACUs during FISHAN at Danau Biru... Yep, Danau Biru, MAN TOMAN'S power pot... Made RM4 from them PACUs and split it with Mr. Onn because he caught 1 of them fast devils on his 6 year old St. Croix rod that never caught anything since he bought it... Anyway, the capture of 2 PACUs is a different story. A very interesting story filled with R&D and macam-macam lagi...

The story for today, around 6.35pm to MAGHRIB time...

As we are guerrillas and always at war, we need to fish at places with NO FISHING signboards. But its okay because w'ere not FISHING, we're jeust FISHAN!!!

Here are my weapons set-up for this evening's story...

Net POW at Danau Biru with Man-Toman's tali

Sea Hawk Bait Caster for me the Master-Baiter on Berkley Rod sold at a Pasar Tani

Sure-Catch Spinner with 2 Golden "Seluang-like" Flashy Propellers

A SELUANG is a small fish that is silver in color. My friend Mr. Ijan, also an avid angler told me once that he unintentionally caught a 2kg SNAKEHEAD in this TASEK when he was doing a TARIK SELUANG LAJU-LAJU move...

Around 6.35 at the TASEK... This pot gave me 3 SNAKEHEADS already...

I got BZ casting at 6.35pm but nothing for 1/2 jam... Suddenly I got a scare because the PENUNGGU of this TASEK which is a 1 meter long MONITAR LIZARD gave me hello-hello... So I TERKEJUT GORILLA... Then I got boring and drank my BOSS...

BOSS drink

Around 7pm I moved to another spot on the other side of the TASEK. When I arrived to survey-survey my new spot, suddenly I saw the water move very big like TSUNAMI for ants... So I cast but nadda...

New spot at 7pm... Water move behind Mr. Spinner... Tasek Monster somewhere at water behind the rod tip

While casting suddenly Mr Tasik Monster came up for a breather... Man was he huge. He made me menggeletar... The head must have been the size of 2 telapak tangan of Jue Aziz. So I cast eventhough TAKUT... While casting in fear, a Honda Civic stopped near me. I pretended like nothing was happening while trying to hide my rod... Out of the car came the GOOD LUCK LADY whom I know so I buat donno and cast...

GOOD LUCK LADY

Why I call her GOOD LUCK LADY??? Because when I cast while she was parking to checkout my wrong doing (FISHAN IN NO FISHING TASEK), the spinner got a mega-byte by Mr Tasek Monster!!! The fight was intense. The rod was bending like a bending rod... The drag on the Sea Hawk reel was set high but still Mr. Monster managed to pull on it... MONSTER le katakan... GOOD LUCK LADY said she got my picture during the fight, but when I check my mobile phone, NOTHING... If not you could see my special GORILA STANCE while fighting monsters...

Presenting Mr. Tasek Monster

The elders say that when you take a monster out of a LUBUK, a new one will emerge to take its place...

Alhamdulillah...

Ayang and Mr. Tasek Monster...

Angah and Mr. Tasek Monster...

Ayong (AKA PACU BOY) and Mr. Tasek Monster

Adik and Mr. Tasek Monster

So where is Mr. TASEK MONSTER today??? In Bangi for my Mak Cak who could put Mr. TASEK MONSTER to good use... It will be cooked as UBAT for her healing wound after surgery on her left hip bone... She fell on the hard floor of the toilet... She's a 70++ year old lady with osteoporosis whom I also consider to be my mother, so I will hunt down any MONSTER for her...

So, gorilla gang... I got a new FISHAN FORMULA... 1 hour of casting=1.3kg of HARUAN...

PACUIH

p/s-Thank you GOOD LUCK LADY for helping me unhook Mr. TASEK MONSTER and snapping my photo :)
