Huh? What Adventures? the only adventures I will have is to go with Reuben to China to fly ''Helicopters" ;D ;D ;D Anyway Reuben, Harvey, Hun and myself, we had loads of fun and laughters during this trip to Rompin. Thanks to Harvey who help us organized this trip and also provide us, our transport....he being the driver. We all travel ''light'' with a couple of bags and ice boxes and 3 pcs of rods each! As for our accommodations , its a terrace house rent to us by the charter boss at $120ringgit per day shared by 4 of us. It was the most comfortable stay compared to all my trips to Rompin. Reuben being the most excited one ... couldn't sleep dunno because of my watch beeping every hour in the night or thinking of helicopters in china....I wonder! As for a our boat skipper, he is only 17yrs old half chinese and half asli. Surprisingly he is quite good and helpful too! Too bad when I took out my camera, the batteries when flat probably its spent too much time in my flybag. So I have to rely on Hun and Reuben to post all the pics here! ;D |

Long time no see Poisonmaster....you will start seeing me in september. 1 year  ...Anyway, the pics are up, so let the games begin! Due to different work schedules, planning started almost 2 months ago, thanks to Elmo who made the final arrangements. The wait for the departure was unbearable, to me at least, as the last time I went for billfish was in 1994. Upon Arrival.....preparation of tackle and terminal rigs.   Setting-out on a perfect next day, bright sunshine with little chop.......   At the baitground, everything went like clock-work....Elmo/Jimboz jigging, Hun and I de-barbing the baitfish....hassle-free.  Before we could even relax...double hook-up!  Elmo's "smelly" rod was next to connect....Doing what he does best, fighting the biggest sail of the trip, estimating between 35-40kg.....   ![]() http ://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a110/reuben65/rompin082007035.jpg[/IMG]   Next to "perform" was Jimboz, looking ultra-cool as usual....     In between strikes, Hardworking-Hun rewarded us with this jack, which eventually ended up as a dish for our dinner....  Not forgetting Jimboz, Cobia made its way to dinner as well! The 2nd cobia weighed a whopping 18 pounds!   Just when we thouight the action died down, another double hook-up! Sigh!   The look says it all...Shiok!!!!  Patiently waiting was Hun-san, rewarding himself with a sail on his virgin ultra-light rod combo.....  Teasing "starting-to-sweat " Hun, looking bored. Beer all round!  All In All, we had 9 sails, numerous sashimi sotongs, countless kerisis for dinner, before setting home. Thanks to Elmo for lettinng me have the 1st sail, and to Hun and Jimboz for guiding me tru-out. Great fishing, great food and most of all, great comradrarie......thanks guys!!!! ;D |

Finally I able to get the underwater shots of a sailfish caught, revived and relased! Reeling in the fish!  The fish still fighting hard and refused to come in....  Got a shot when it was closer...  Finally it came in beside the boat.....  It was quickly unhooked in the water, revived and released....  It swam away gracefully..  ;D ;D ;D |
