Chris Tan:
There are some real monsters lurking around those rigs in the east coast of Malaysia but such trips are not for the faint hearted.

Doing Hallaniyat next week. Hope the weather's good and the GTs are biting ;D

Jay, you are so right that GT destinations are almost invariably of great natural beauty. But then there are the rusty Malaysian oil rigs  ::) .

Ben Furness:
Please tell me more about these Malaysian rigs. I have contacts in the region.

Mark Harris:
Ben, I will leave that one to Chris or some of our other Singapore/Malaysia members. I have only seen the pics - never been out there.

Stephen Callus:
Where

Did my first ever GT trip last year with Nomad to Bugatti reef in August 2011 organized by Brandon and fished with a bunch of wonderful  MCA guys. This year July 2012 uncharted waters further north with Nomad and the MCA guys.

Why

When you have such a wonderful and hardworking  organizer like Brandon and the knowledge of the Nomad team and a bunch of great guys you cant go wrong ;D ;D

Chris Tan:
I've been to these rigs twice a few years back. The boats heading there are pretty basic. One of the boats sank on one trip out while being towed to the rigs.

You'll need to have a commando style modus operandi, all lights out while getting into the rigs at night. And you're tied to one of the legs of the rigs while you jig or pop. Once the patrol boats come, you need to untie and get your boat out of the area quickly - like a cat and mouse game. As if GT fishing is not exciting enough.....
