Kelong Lukut Adventure
Finally the most awaited time has come. I'm back fishing.
This probably the location of Kelong Lukut. The 'X' mark indicates the not exact location of Kelong Lukut :) (forgot to take the latitude and longitude of the location using my GPS Phone). In fact there are two kelongs around the area. Kelong Tepi and Kelong Tengah. We decided to go to the Kelong Tengah altough earlier decision we decided to go to Kelong Tepi. We were too influenced by a man called "cikgu". He told us that fishing frenzy (siakap) was happening at Kelong Tengah. So I didn't know either by instinct or by devine intervention we did not argue and followed him to Kelong Tengah.
After resting up my gears for a year, deep in my store room, I'm back now with my new adventure of KELONG LUKUT.
Initially the trip was unanimously agreed by about 8 people to Kemaman, Terengganu. Sadly, just a few days before the trip only 3 remained and geared up for the trip. Since there was only 3 we change the location to KELONG LUKUT
What is interesting about KELONG LUKUT? not much lar... :) (Find Kelong Mamud on Google Maps)

At around 4.39pm we arrived at the location. We straight away took off our shirt to expose our muscular body and started the setting up. The 'cikgu' was doing his stuff setting up bobby trap at multiple strategic locations on the kelong. He said the booby traps are used to capture 'tongkol' which ultimately be the lure for 'siakap'. For about half an hour later Din caught our first catch of the day using 'apollo techniques' some pelata and juvenile geropoh. Soon after that we were having fishing frenzy time. Alas, all the catches were only small gerut-gerut.
Night fishing time was so unpleasurable. We got lot of nibbling. No hard hookup. Only tiny fishes espeacially gerut-gerut by using 'perumpun' as bait. Only after 10pm, I had a strong pull after leaving my gear tied up to a live 'pelata' bait for an hour. It was a '3 feet' malong hooked up after eating the whole 'pelata'. That was the only big catch for the night.
We were not surprise with the cold welcoming situation we encountered here. There were a lot of graffitti of frustrations from previous visitors on the kelong wall. Hence, Hadi was saying 'silap tak bawak liquid paper. Boleh gak curah perasaan kat sini' (it was really unfortunately that we haven't brought along liquid paper. Perhaps we can also express our frustrations here)
I was the last to go to bed (even there was no comfortable bed there) Hadi was the first. Followed by Din. Woke up at 5am in the morning and realizing not even a single hookup.
The following morning, sea level was very shallow. We ended up chatting and eating the remains of rations that were left untouched the night before. We should've had eaten all those last night. It was pity for us to waste our energy waiting patiently for big fish the night before and ended up starving.
The moment we packed and waited for the fetching boat to pick us up. Cikgu finally got the souvenir for the trip. It was 500g Talang (queenfish). Hmm ok lah...at least
Sayonara!! Tak mau p lagi la... macam buang masa je....atau aku yang tak skillfull. hehe
