After a 5 month hiatus from fishing, I had a serious itch to get back on the water. Following my exciting experiences of fishing in Bintulu back in 2018, I found myself back on the offshore waters of Bintulu recently. With Spanish Mackerel season starting soon (May-June), anglers begin to book boats to have a go for them and other species since the passing of the North East monsoon means calm and ideal conditions for fishing.
On Sunday, 14th April a trip was organized to fish reefs about 25 nautical miles off the coast of Bintulu. Members of the trip were Jul, Wan, Patrick, Shah, Zam, Zeal, yours truly and Pue as our boatman. These guys were hardcore jiggers with the exception of Zam who was embarking on his first jigging trip. I never put expectations on fishing trips but with these guys on the boat, I expected some serious action.
