Light Jigging at Kota Bharu

Light Jigging for Ebek (Daimond Trevally) is getting famous around Kota Bharu lately,... A friend of mine Jacky has asked me join him a few times to try this amazing saltwater game in his hometown, Kampong Kota Bharu,..... but, I was not able to make it all this while..... This is a report from Jacky on his last trip there in early January 2012......

Fishermen sailing out to the open sea to earn a living.....
A small fishing boat comfortably sits 4 - 6 anglers for the jigging game.....
 A shower rained in the morning when they were just about to start fishing.....
The rain did not affect the Diamond Trevally too much to take on the jig..... 
 A close-up of the Ebek (Diamond Trevally),... what a beauty! 
 Cheers! Congrats to Jacky the team leader.... 
 Wooo! Double hit!!.....
Cheers!!.....
Ohhh! Another double hit!.....
Our smiley faced Simon broke his rod when he over setted his tackle......
Well, the fish is still with him....
But he could not smile anymore because the fish was way too small for breaking his rod....
Plenty of catches on that day.......
Thanks for the report, Jacky..... Hope I can join you next time.....
