May 17 Terengganu Field Report

[samo]

Hey folks! Firstly, a warm greeting from Malaysia and to all, its squid season here in the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. I made a trip out on the 17th with a coupla close buddies. Managed to haul a decent score from the depts of Kemaman, the Southernmost town in Terengganu... Looking forward to another session in mid-June!







We jigged all night long!

This was my first squid for the year.. Strong wind conditions and the choppy sea made it rather hard for us to manage a decent haul..







My biggest catch so far!
