Oh Joy, The Kayaker!

“Adrenalin coursed through me as I paddled stealthily to the spot. Closer, I realised they were juvenile tomans. Their parents were no longer looking after them. If they were small fries instead, I at least had the chance to catch a good-size toman for the home freezer.” Arnold Js Loh, A Kayak Fisher

Out of boredom I cast at them. As usual, all 200 over of juvenile tomans tried to eat the lure at once, resulting in a boiling frenzy. One of them inevitably caught the treble hook. I reeled the lure back to free the fish.

Not bad. Over 11 inches long. I sampled fried juvenile toman nearly 10 years ago, out of curiosity

Tronoh Mines Revisited

“The fishing was so good the first time, we decided to revisit this ex-mining lake in Tronoh which we named The Mayan City or simply, T1 . Tronoh, like most ex-mining towns in Malaysia are pockmarked with ex-mining lakes. T1 is one of the largest lakes in the area…each of us has caught so many mayans that we had lost count.” Gerald K, A Kayak Fisher

Kayak & Canoe – A Brief History

“…the indigenous seafaring Austronesian groups rigged their canoes with one or more lateral support floats known as outriggers, which are fastened to one or both sides of the main hull. The outrigger gives greater stability and seaworthiness upon a canoe, enabling the seafarers to cross vast oceans.” Gerald K

Kayak Fishing – A Growing Fishing Sport

“This is where the kayaks have an extreme advantage. They can fish areas that are untouched by other anglers. Back country mud flats, oyster rakes, and salt marshes are all accessible and fishable in a kayak.” Ron Brooks

Eco-boating: The Ecology and Economy of Boating

“Boating does not have to be complicated or expensive. It is possible to go boating with a sense of proportion that fits small families, singles, or retirees on a budget.” Katie McPhail

Kayak Sailfishing @ Rompin

By Jonathan Chang, Johor Baru, Malaysia

The author and his sailfish

August 21st 2010, ROMPIN.    My kayak fishing buddy, Howard, and I had planned this trip a couple of weeks in advance. Our target was the sailfish at Rompin on the eastcoast of Johor state, Malaysia.

I had bought the Malibu Stealth-12 from Eco-Sports in May this year and had only gone out kayak fishing twice. I was itching to go and test the Stealth-12 in the warm waters of Rompin, dubbed the billfishing capital of Southeast Asia.

The Hunt for Bujuk @ Batang Berjuntai – Tanjung Karang Peat Swamp Forest

Sunday May 9, 2010 - When we think of the peat swamp, the first thing that came to mind is, a waterlogged mushy place infested with mosquitos, snakes  and creepy crawlies. We think less of the benefits it brings to the environment. (more…)

Glorious Alive @ Lake Kenneth

Wednesday, April 21, 2010 (by Arnold Js Loh)

WAVES nearly two feet high. Thunder shook the water and clapped my eardrums. Lightning whiting everything, blinding me.
