Rambungan Jetty & Kpg Stoh

4 inch brand "X" minnow lure with 700g barramundi

Saturday, 1st September 2007. Kicked-off with fishing at the above mentioned places. 2.15pm, chen and I set off from my place. It was nearly 4pm when we arrived at Rambungan Jetty. There were already many anglers at the end of the jetty by then, so we decided to fish around the mid section of the jetty. Bottom fishing was the order of the day, but the current had picked up and it was not productive at all. Many of our baits were stolen by small fish or flowery crabs... and we decided to stop fishing there around 5.15pm.

Then we moved off to Kpg Stoh. Also there were some anglers there before us, but they had also just arrived. We brought out our casting tackle and started fishing. Chen moved off to the smaller pond in hope to get one of the over 3kg barramundi that allegedly inhabit that pond. I on the other had started casting at the bigger pond. Within a couple of cast, I landed a 700g barramundi. Then 2 more smaller specimens of 300g were landed. (However I forgot to take pix of them).

Soon, Chen moved to the bigger pond as there was totally no action at the smaller pond. He managed to land a few barramundi and decided to keep a 800g table size barramundi for consumption.

I was a bit dissapointed with the growth of the barramundis. Thought that they would have been bigger by now. Anyway, we plan to have another trip there, just before harvest time. Hopefully by then, most of the fish would have reached the 1kg mark.
