mgj Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Last week I went to Rompin (Malaysia) to flyfish for Sailfish.We stayed in a house with good food and a good boat crew. The sails are difficult on fly.Not easy to tease to the boat,Small boney mouths and with the acrobatics-they are adept at throwing the hooks! There was a one second window to cast the fly;hook up if the planets were aligned; and then hang on to try to survive to wild jumps! But they are very rewarding when you do hook up.The first run at lightspeed is 150 meters-they are the fastest fish in the ocean! All were released of course. I snared a few. The wharf.

Scratchie Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Wow...... Actually watched ifish today and they were fishing there. Just an awesome fish. Can only image the runs they take at speed. Looks like an epic trip mate. Well done Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefisherman6784 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Like scratchie said, that episode on IFish when they go to rompin, I remember the runs the fish took I would have settled for the small one mate That Ocean is flat Flatter than Sydney harbour on a good day Sounds like an awesome trip mate and I'm sure it was amazing getting them on fly Well done Cheers thefisherman6784 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgj Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 The first run was awesome and generally the sea was flat.The lit up fish at the boat was spectacular. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
