Whereabouts in Sumbawa were you fishing Marthen?  I really like Sumbawa although my last trip to the southwest and Lombok channel in September was fairly terrible (bad weather).

I am stay in West Sumbwa, but when i am go to fishing to this spot take 7hrs from my place, If you want to come from Lombok, just one more time cross the acean/island to my place, From Lombok to trip 1.5 hours longer crossed by speed boat from the port of Kayangan-Lombok, and arrived at the port Public - West Sumbawa.. But when you take plane from Bali to Sumbawa Besar airport, there only take 3hrs trip to the spot.
