Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Reports & Expeditions

Salpa Island Indonesia

(1/4) > >>

Chris Tan:
Just came back from Salpa Islands, East Nusa Tengara.

Due to domestic flight problems and engine failure, our 3 day fishing trip was reduced to 1 1/2 days.

Strong winds and heavy rain made popping hard but we managed to land some 14 gts between 3 anglers. We had 2 bust offs - 2 craftbait poppers lost - ouch!

Here are some photos. Will upload more when I get the rest.

Hi Chris , Mark n AhGu ,

I was wondering if the Harbour Master wud allow the boat to cast off at all due to very strong wind around the area you wre fishing and no doubt you have had one Bintang too many there , you posted the images twice !  ;D  Several small inter island cargo ships experienced problem and even the governor of NTT and his group almost never made it to the destination .

Too bad with the engine failure , this is the second time I heard the news that Suzuki outboard gone kaput again .  :-\In the other forum I advised Mark that we don't go out fishing until the
" Chap Go Meh " celebration is over .  ::)

I think the best time to go to that area is after mid March .

Jon .

Andy Rowe:
Hi Men,

14 GT's all things considered is pretty good going, big congratulations.

Did you manage to get any jigging in?

Again unfortunate about the engine issues, how does this situation look, short term fix or long term?

Cheers
Andy

Kasey Leong:
Chris,
It's been a while since I've seen AhGu pose for a photo with a fish ;D Let's hope this is just the beginning.

Biggest, meanest, nastiest? I'm sure we'd all like more details...
