During
this season, regular fishermen will be
well equipped with cooler boxes filled
with ice blocks to keep their catch cool.
Just jump into the boat, with your rods,
sun block, hat, snacks and not forgetting
sufficient drinking water, and you’ll
be ready to go!
Deep sea fishing is always challenging,
not only because of the unpredictable condition
of the sea but also the fish seem prepared
to test your fishing skill, and your equipment,
to the limit. It can be difficult for first
timer. Sea sickness is the first obstacle
to be overcome before the actual business
of catching a fish can begin. However,
once they’ve got the hang of it,
even novice fishermen can land some terrific
fish and will soon find themselves well
and truly ‘hooked’ on this
bracing sport.
Not far from Perhentian, the islands of
Redang and Kapas are popular places for
deep-sea fishing trips. (Bear in mind though,
that you must never fish within the Marine
Park waters. Fishing activities are strictly
prohibited.). Squid jigging or ‘candat
sotong’ is also available. Learn
from the local East Coast fishermen the
art of catching cuttlefish using lights
and multiple lines with hooks.
Various fishing trips can be easily arranged
at the resort.
