Ken's first sailfish. (Look at his face...)

David's first sailfish of his life.

The one that got away..... the fish almost emptied the Daiwa Caldia Kix 2500 in a instance.

Kok Liang's first ever sailfish.

Day one ended with 3 sailfishs and 3 misses. We were actually kinda blessed as we were targetting spanish mackerels and giant trevallies at Nail Island earlier in the day. We only started fishing for sailfish at 2pm. At Nail Island... disappointment. The surf was strong and we were all hitting fish but only those unwanted aramugans... plus lizard fishs (not flathead). Errr.... the lizard fish is commonly know as Ikan Lan Jiao (penis fish) as this fish is a pest to anglers especially for bottom fishermen.

We had 6 connections and only 3 landed. The 3 first timers all had their share of fun while the rest of us are all happy for them. Our sister boat landed 4 sailfishs for the whole day too. The sailfishs were here... there... everywhere but they werent quite willing to 'participate' in the game of tug-of-war with us. We saw so many but so many didnt want to play with us as well.

We had some nice chicken soup after day one. If you are going to order this soup, you will have to inform the restaurant earlier in the day so that they could prepare it for you all as the herbs will take time to boil. If you love herbs, you will like this chicken soup. At RM40, where to find.

Day two for us was unexpected. We didnt catch and sailfish or see any at all. Other boats recorded about 4 for the whole day. Fishing was very slow as the rain caught us out at sea. The rain started showering around 10am... and it did stop at around 2pm... We missed two spanish mackerels while trolling in the rain. Although we didnt catch any sailfish for day two, none the less the company is great. We ended our trip with another great dinner with the chicken soup too.
