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 Expedition @ Tasik Bera

August 15, 2009 – Tasik Bera, Pahang (by Gerald K).  The eagerly awaited moment finally drew closer. I loaded my kayaks onto my pickup the evening before and went through my checklist one last time before going to bed.  

Day 1:  At 5:30 am, Chris and his son, CJ arrived at my house. It was still dark. CJ was busy playing his PSP he had just gotten for his birthday. We quickly transferred the stuff from Chris’ car to my pickup. By 6.00am we were on our way to pick up Ah Wah at the Petronas station on MRR2. Ah Wah was already there waiting for us when we arrived.

Kayak Fishing @ Kota Bahru (Gopeng, Perak)

July 29, 2009 – Gopeng, Perak (by Gerald K).   After our memorable kayak fishing trip to Tronoh Mines, Mah and I were toying with the idea of exploring new kayak fishing sites at least once a month. Hardly two weeks later, Mah called me and said he remembered another ex-mining lake he had once fished in. The lake was in Kota Bahru (Perak, not Kelantan) and about 20km from Tronoh Mines. He recalled he had caught PBs and Mayans in this lake. (more…)

Kayak Fishing @ Tronoh Mines

July 15, 2009 Tronoh, Perak  (by Gerald K).  I woke up at 3.00am and decided to do my emails. Then I started packing for the trip. A few minutes after I loaded my kayak onto my pickup, Mah (Yoon Loong) arrived at my house. Mah said it was raining when he left his house in PJ but had stopped shortly after. It had rained heavily the afternoon before, so I didn’t have a good feeling about the weather. (more…)

June 25, 2009 – Minyak Beku, Batu Pahat (by Gerald Khoo).  A call came in mid last week from a customer in Batu Pahat inviting me to go on board his boat for kayak fishing. My initial thought was…Batu Pahat? It is so far away from KL.
