Gerong belang Kuala Pahang

Oleh Zulkarnain Omar
PEKAN: Spesies gerong belang dan pari mampu membawa khabar gembira buat peserta Kategori Pantai pada Karnival GP Joran 2009 di Kuala Pahang, Ahad ini.

Ini berikutan sejak kebelakangan ini dua spesies itu paling banyak didaratkan pemancing yang dikatakan datang untuk menguji gelanggang pantai Kuala Pahang sebelum acara sebenar mulai jam 8 pagi hingga 1 petang, Ahad ini.

Antara yang datang menguji penghuni di situ ialah Azri Abu Bakar bersama Juara Kategori Pantai GP Johor 2009 di Desaru awal bulan lalu, Kapten Mohd Rosdi Abdullah. Hasilnya, dua spesies itu berjaya diseret ke pantai selepas membaham umpan udang hidup.

Azri yang juga pengunjung setia pantai Kuala Pahang setiap hujung minggu bersama rakan dari Kuantan, akan mencuba nasib di situ dan pada masa yang sama sebagai persiapan bagi menghadapi GP Joran, Ahad ini.

“Sasaran kami hanya ikan pari dan tidak menduga sama sekali gerong belang yang selalu bermain di laut lepas boleh sampai ke pantai. Boleh dikatakan ada saja gerong belang ditewaskan dan minggu lalu, dua ekor gerong belang seberat 5 serta 8 kilogram menjadi habuan kami.

“Kalau spesies ini masih mendiami perairan pantai Kuala Pahang, sudah pasti siapa yang berjaya mendaratkannya boleh membawa pulang hadiah lumayan. Begitu juga, 15 ekor pari kami tewaskan ketika memancing seharian di situ, tetapi jangan lupa gunakan umpan hidup kerana ia adalah hidangan istimewa untuk penghuni di pesisir pantai itu,” katanya ketika ditemui baru-baru ini.

Selain itu, katanya, spesies ebek atau alu-alu juga boleh dipancing di sini.

“Bagi menundukkan pari, saya sarankan supaya peserta gunakan umpan hirisan selayang atau tamban kerana ia amat efektif. Penggunaan tali sulam 40 paun sebagai tali utama dan perambut tangsi 70 paun, bagaimanapun ia belum tentu dapat menahan asakan mangsa.

“Memancing di sini kita perlu rajin menukar umpan atau tali kerana saya sendiri beberapa kali terputus akibat menerima asakan ganas ikan. Memang menyeronokkan,” katanya.

Menceritakan saat cemas beliau apabila menyedari tali di gelendung habis dilarikan sang pari yang enggan menyerah kalah, Azri berkata, beliau terpaksa menggunakan pelbagai helah serta kemahiran yang ada bagi menundukkan mangsa.

“Walaupun sistem tegangan dikunci ketat, namun tidak berupaya menahan pecutan tanpa henti si pari ke tengah laut. Bagaimanapun, akhirnya ikan berkenaan menyerah kalah apabila saya tidak membenarkan ia membenam di lumpur atau pasir.

“Rekod terberat pari yang saya peroleh di Kuala Pahang setakat ini ialah 35 kilogram dan sehingga sekarang ia belum dipecahkan rakan-rakan yang lain. Saya berharap pada GP Joran Ahad ini, ada tangkapan lebih besar dapat didaratkan peserta,” katanya.

Do You Make Your Kids Fishing Experience Enjoyable?

Expert Author Charles White


If you take your children fishing with you, they can enjoy something for the rest of their lives, as long as you make it pleasant for them.
If on the other hand, you yell, scream and get upset with them a lot, then they won't enjoy it and neither will you. Make their fishing trips enjoyable and teach them responsibility at the same time.
Let them get their own rod and reel ready with your help. Let them pack it in the car, get their own tackle ready. The only thing you really want to watch is the hooks if they're really young.
Of course, if they need help then you give it to them. What they learn now will be with them forever. It is said the first few years of their life builds their character forever.
Make their fishing experience pleasurable and they will always love to fish and love you for taking them.. It sure beats drugs!

Many people aren't very familiar with fishing. Others may have many years of experience out on the water. No matter what your level of expertise, you can always learn more. It is always possible to gain skills and perfect existing ones. Continue reading to discover some useful techniques which can help increase your success at fishing.
When fishing at night, try using a lighted bobber. The lighted bobber has a tiny bulb inside it that will help you see it better when it goes underwater at night. The bite of a fish will cause the bobber to move vertically, as usual, and the fisher will be alerted by the light's movement.
If you want to know where the fish are, keep an eye on the surrounding wildlife, particularly the birds. You can tell how many fish are in an area based on the number of birds diving at the water. Birds love to eat fish, and they dive towards the water to catch them. Closely observe their behavior, as it may assist you in having a great day of fishing.
Use sunscreen when you are fishing even if the sun doesn't seem particularly bright. Frequently, the sun rays are strong over the water, so you should ensure that you will not get sunburn when you are out on the water.
Be on the search for areas with deep water. If you will be river fishing, be on the lookout for the areas of deepest water. Fish tend to collect here, especially if it is the climate is warm. In addition to the deep waters, fish also like to stay near large rocks and under rock ledges. When you find a good fishing spot, be sure to take note of it so that you can return in the future.
It's helpful to bring a tackle box that's tailored to your trip, leaving out non-essential equipment. Unneeded tackle can be heavy and cumbersome, especially if you have to lug it around all day. Make sure you pack the essentials, so that you're free to move around more easily.
Be sure to have sharp knife inside of your tackle box when going fishing. This is a critical tool that you must not forget. Be certain that the knife you use for fishing is sharp, rust resistant, and made of the highest quality.
Always buy high-quality rods for fishing. Low-quality rods might be cheap, but you'll pay more in the end because they break due to poor quality control. You are sure to save money in the long run when you purchase a high quality fishing rod as it will never have to be replaced.
Notice your bait color, as compared to the water color. It is very important to choose a bait that can be seen by the fish. If the water happens to be murky that day, you will want to ensure success by using vibrant colors. In clearer water, deeper and darker tones will blend in less and catch the fish's attention.
Whether you are a fishing pro or a novice you should always keep a positive mindset when fishing. Sometimes fishing can be extremely frustrating; negative attitudes can ruin your experience. Avoid being hard on yourself if nothing is biting.
Everyone has special secrets to catch the most fish possible on a trip. You can always find something to learn and increase your knowledge about fishing and find new tricks. The information in this article above should help you add to your bag of tricks, and help you become better at fishing.
