Defeat at 06 Reef & Russian Wreck

This is my 2nd time visiting Penang Russian Wreck. So I've make some improvement for my set-up early. I left my house 8.00am in the morning Jun18,09 straight to Damansara for pick-up my buddy, the Champ Chubby Prince. Arrrgh, traffic jam along the way there... can i arrive till afternoon through this traffic...hmmmm. Arrival at Prince house around 9.30am. I have to move faster to arrive at the jetty around 1pm. Gentleman...Start your engine....Let's race.

Just like before kick-off start

We arrive at the jetty at 1.30pm, and all our buddies were load their stuff on the boat. Just waiting for us. Sorry bro.. so many traffic problem & so many road block too....

Captain : It's ok... but both of you must load all the ice cube...hehe3..

WR water condition

We arrive at Russian Wreck around 5.00pm, after waiting till 9.00pm, we only land a couple of fish... where the hell of all this fish......hmmmm. Boring for waiting , our Captain offer cruising about 20nm to 06Reef. Ding-dong-ding-dong discussion among otai2, we agreed to moved there. My new journey begin.

Arrival at 06Reef, all of us start using bulu's for casting season. Just after 4 cast, our bulu's was attack by group of bigeye... 1 by 1, the bigeye landed by bulu's.... no photos cause all excited for casting lesen... me with my PE1.8 custom EA by kenny landed 3 of bigeye just in 10 minutes...hehe. After that just sleeping season for me cause all of them do bottom fishing.....

Early in the morning our boat happening again when group of tenggiri start attacking bulu's.... casting mambong lure was not attractive anymore to this tenggiri. It's just only attacking bulu's lure....

I'm jigging alone beside the boat also can't attract this all of fish...jigging for nothing...hmmm, walaweh... i got kerapu...oh Nooooo... it's only "karangpu" la... shit... lost my new 150g 7C revolver....

I keep back my jigging gear in cabin road holder & come back for casting bulu accompanies Prince at the back..... after Prince release the line around 50m to 60m, he make 1 smooth jerk spin. Prince : I think some thing holding my bulu la.... big cupak or Gt maybe.....

After fighting for 5min, the golden shine approach for the water... walaweh...you must kidding me la... can't do like that la bro, Angchor attacked bulu ka.... tiu na seng... 1st time in this GT Challenger for this size of Golden Snapper landed by bulu... please don't do it again hehe.. nanti orang marah ooo

We just stop casting till 9.30am and back to the jetty.
