Go west, where the fishing’s good

Pulau Perak, about eight hours from the Teluk Bahang jetty in Penang, is a favourite fishing haunt during this season and is usually crowded with anglers, especially those looking for game fish.

WITH the inter-monsoon season coming to an end within a week or so, anglers can now look forward to fishing on the west coast of peninsular Malaysia.

However, unlike fishing on the east coast, which is now into the north-east monsoon season, the activities on the opposite side of the peninsula are much tougher as anglers have to use bigger sinkers and heavier poundage rods to carry out the task in the open sea of the Straits of Malacca.
