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

Cheers

Hi Andy ,

Combination of poor quality fuel in those remote areas of Indonesia and modern 4 stroke outboard motors just don't mix well , in East Borneo those mining companies went back to the old carburated 2 stroke outboard engines after experiencing massive number of failures on their 4 stroke outboard motors .

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.

Woah, even posting on fishing forums now!  :P
Hey, I will be dropping by Singapore on the 26th for three nights on my way back to Australia. I hope we can meet up again. Chris, I hear you live nearby too?

Maybe one day we can even tee up to fish together - be it Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia or New Cal.

Brandon Khoo:
I don't know if you will get Gu back to NC.
Chris or Mark, no problem!

Not sure if the engine is a long term problem. But there's another Japanese angler fishing there now - I hope the skipper had resolved it or the angler would be facing 6 pretty boring days up there.

Biggest was caught by Ah Gu - about 30 plus kgs. Three around the 20kg mark and the rest were smaller ones.

Here are more photos

Yep, the spot it is 'out there' the weather is still crappy in Jakarta, so I hope it is better there...if not I guess the anglers will be practicing drinking bintangs, tying knots and swatting mosquito's...

I'm looking forward to getting back there, that boat looks like a good casting platform.
