Fly Fishing for Sailfish

This was a trip catered for my friends from Thailand..... They are fly fishing enthusiasts and wish to do Sailfish fly fishing in Rompin.... Well, I am not a fly fishing guy, but I was amused by the assortment of fly equipments they brought here for this trip. My golly look at their stuffs.......
Can't fish without first filling up the belly, right...?!
Walking down to our boat moored nearby.......
And off we go .........
And here comes the first hooked up Sailfish.....
To make sure this trip would not be in vain, we started with live baits drifting.... and got ourselves the "licence"..... Yeah ! Great!!
A striking beauty.....
Yes!!! Got a hit .....
After fighting hard, it finally yielded.....
One more for the gallery....
And now, back to the main reason for coming here - FLY FISHING!!!
After a few strikes without a successful hooked up,... Finally my friend has a strong strike....
And this was firmly hooked.....

The Fly was nicely hooked in it's mouth..... Great work pal!!
Congratulations to his first Fly Fishing Sailfish trophy......
Well, that's all for the Fly Fishing result in 3 days trying..... Ummm, not an easy game for Fly Fishing Sailfish isn't it??!..... Add another photo for my collection of Sailfish when the Fly guys take their rest......
