 Great Fishing, Great Country... Planning Your Fishing Trip

 

Game or Sport Fishing - Malaysia, Your Fishing Paradise

 

Proper planning is always essential when considering a serious angling trip anywhere.  Malaysia is no exception.  A properly organised fishing package encompassing local knowledge may prove the difference between success and failure.  Fishing is normally customised to suit angling groups and their particular choice of destination.

 

Whether you want salties or freshies, or a combination of both, packages can be tailored accordingly.  The main season for all fishing is from the month of March to October each year.  Early correspondence with local fishing organisers is necessary to prepare a suitable schedule to meet your needs.  Packages are not inclusive of airfares, international or domestic.

 

Early booking is an absolute in order to ensure availability of resources.  The packages can be varied and customised to suite requirements or combined in various ways to enjoy the best of both sea and freshwater.

 

Other saltwater destinations include Tukun/Pulau Perak, located midway between Langkawi and Penang, and Pulau Jarak about 40km out from the mouth of the Perak river.  Both of these destinations are known for GT, Sailfish and other species.

 

Pulau Mabul, off the coast of Semporna in South Eastern Sabah is also a deepwater destination.  Yellowfin Tuna, Marlin, Sailfish and many other species including big bottom dwellers can be found in these waters.  A comfortable refurbished oil platform adjacent to Pulau Mabul will be your home.  Fishing is daily, with speedboats taking you to the nearby FADS or drop offs.

 

 

 
TACKLE
 

Most Operators do not provide fishing tackle as part of their packages.  Depending on the type of fishing you want, your operator will recommended the tackle you should bring with you.

 
 

RULES,

REGULATIONS AND BAG LIMITS

 

Currently rules and regulations with regard to angling are being drafted by the government.  However, at present no legislation has been imposed on angling in general.  The only exception to this is with with regard to national and marine parks.  In national parks a permit to fish is required and is obtainable for a fee of approximately US$3 from parks' offices.  A camera fee of approximately US$2 is also imposed.  In marine parks, fishing is not permitted within 2 nautical miles of the park boundary.

 

In order to sustain the quality of angling, catch and release is highly recommended for the majority of species.

 
 
PRECAUTIONS
 

As with all tropical destinations, it is advisable to carry high UVA/UVB sunblock skin protection and good quality polarised sunglasses.  Hats should be worn at all times during exposure to sun.  Anti-malaria protection is strongly recommended.

 
 
INSURANCE
 

All angling visitors should arrange their own personal accident insurance and sufficient cover for their fishing tackle, cameras and other valuables.

 
 
GUARANTEES
 

Many factors need to be considered when it comes to angling and even if all the required measures are taken to ensure a good trip there is still no known method to force a fish to bite.  Excellent catches, however, should prevail.

 
 
FOOD & DRINKS
 

All customised fishing itineraries include meals as part of the package while at sea, camping or at major lakes.  This, however, is mainly local food.  Mineral water is also usually provided.  All other drinks and meals are at one's own expense.
