BNO Megalops

Made another trip to BNO with Teng Wei, FCK and Kevin. We left town for BNO at 4.30 in the morning hoping for a satisfying early start early finish..

The weather was cloudy and it started to drizzle when we reached BNO...
The fish was kinda active but don't really take the bait..

I started off with my figerglass UL spinning setup. Caught a few..

 

 

 

We moved on to another spot after they did not land anything eventhough there were a few strikes.

 

I changed my UL spinning setup to fly at the new spot. We can see groups of tarpons on feeding frenzy at this new spot and a few cast, we begin to land the tarpons.

 

Another friend, Aji joined us at the new spot. He was casting his 7wt fly rod and landed a few on gurgler.

 

First timers to BNO, Teng Wei was having fun...

 

 

 

 



Another hook up...

FCK with his catch..

Soft plastic..

Kevin caught one but unfortunately no photo.

I was using damsel on fly and the hit rate was high. Never misses when I casted into the frenzy bunch..

It got really windy by noon and the sky turned gloomy.  We decided to called a day and left for lunch before it rained.

It was another fun thrilling fishing trip on UL spinning and light wt fly rod setups...

BNO Tarpon Trip

It has been being quite awhile since I last fish for tarpon , let alone fly fishing.

Thanks to my buddy, Kanicen who is willing to plan this trip.

He planned for tarpon fishing at his "2nd home" and his favourite play ground...  BNO and it is 2 1/2 hours drive from town.



Our journey started 5 in the morning and reached our destination by 7.

Alot of raises but they were shy and spooky. I missed a few hook ups and landed a few on gurgler.

After awhile, they don't take top water and I have to change to damsel to lure them.

They slowed down by noon and we had a break for lunch.

Fun the continued in the afternoon..



My Orvis 2wt fly set.

We had a full day of fun fishing...

and till another trip from my buddy, my fly set will to tucked in the corner again..
