Managed to get 3 weeks holiday out of my boss at the end of the year so I will head back to Indonesia.
Will probably do a week in Bali with two weeks surfing at lakey peak in Sumbawa.
Any jigging trips running out of bali? I usually stay in Tuban so hitch a ride with the local boats but would like to do a more specialised trip this year.
Also any trips out of Sumbawa? we caught some great fish off there in 2005 on a surf charter boat and would really like to get into some more of that action.
Probably travel solo this year but if anyone wants to join in your more than welcome
Cheers
Mike
Hi Mike ,
Contact my friend JohnBudi @ +628123804808 , he hangs around fishing tackles shops and knows how to get cheap charter for jigging . FYI , due to strong current in the Straits of Lombok and Badung , a minimum jig weight is 500 gr. so you need a stout rod + enough capacity reel for the task .
As for Sumbawa , the south coast are good but are more well known for the surfing beaches , I usually fish in Komodo n Sumba but one needs a better boat than what the locals can supply . Strictly CnR in Komodo with a few rules to follow .
I was in Bali last week , the place is full of tourists both local n overseas and yes , lots of surfers due to higher than usual tide movements coupled with strong wind from the south west . Offshore G Land in East Java has been producing big YFTs too but you need a good boat , the buoys are some 60~90 nmiles from the coast line .
Jon .
