G'Day Glen and greetings from Malaysia...
I've been lurking on this forum and has been a squid-jigging fan for a while. Here in Penisular Malaysia, squid-jigging with artificial lures are popular at the East Coast States such as Pahang, Terengganu and Johor.
You can try them out at :
Johor : Mersing, Pulau Sibu and Pulau Tinggi - Most of the squids here are smaller compared to those in Terengganu
Terengganu : Kuala Terengganu, Marang, Merang, Setiu and Kuala Besut - some of the best spots for squid jigging are found here. The largest specimen - Sotong Torak - measuring more than 1 feet are found along the coastal waters off Terengganu. Squid-jigging is considered a past-time here and each year from April-June, a festival call "Pesta Candat Sotong" is held to promote the State as a tourist destination.. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blueboxbullet.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ink' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
Kelantan : Head to a coastal fishing town called "Tok Bali". Here, boat charters are offered by fishermen for RM450-RM500 a night depending on the classification of their vessel. I'm yet to try this place out, but it will be cool! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/beer_mug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':beer' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blueboxbullet.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ink' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/beer_mug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':beer' />
Here's some photos of my recent trip with my wife on May 21 :
