Fishing Bali

Hi all,

Went to Bali 2 weeks ago for my sons wedding. Was my first trip to Bali and loved it. ( my liver still hurts from all the Bintang LOL ).

Anyway, as I work a 2 & 2 roster I have decided to make another trip to Bali on the 5th - 10th Oct, this time its a fishing trip, and the little lady will be staying at home, and going to work as she cant get any more time off till Feb next year. 

Flight and accomodation booked and have booked a 12m charter boat for 2 days. Package includes pickup and drop off from motel, food for the day, drinks including BEERS, Skipper, deck hand and a fishing guide.

I know that Bali is a bit over fished, and some may say dont waist your time, but I like the place and am going to have a crack, as it is coming up to the best time for fishing.

Most of their fishing is done with jigs, this is new to me, they jig upto 250m ( think thats going to hurt LOL ). they also troll and cast popper for GT, dog tooth, mac's etc and will bottom bounce.

If anyones over in Bali during this time and wants to catch up for a beer let us know, or if you want to come for a fish one day on the charter, you would only have to pay for the extra food, drinks, hotel pickup, and rod hire.

Dont know what the price would be but could find out if anyone is keen. think $50-$100 would more than cover it ( the boat cost me $1100 for the 2 days ).

Anyway, I will post a report and pic's when I return.

Yer had a look at them US$990

Yer had a look at them US$990 a day, would have gone with them if there was a second person to split the cost with.

But as I am solo this trip I get 2 days for the price of one.

Plan on going on every charter over time, and doing a bit of a report on this tread.

 I've spearfished over there

 I've spearfished over there with a very we'll known guy, cost me and a mate 100usd each. I would be looking for something cheaper, especially if you are just going to nusa penita (which I assume you would be).

just got back yesterday from a 2 week diving holiday. dived gili islands and nusa lembongan and saw plenty of good reef fish and pelagics:

Pelagics:
Spanish macs
dog tooth tuna (a few smaller models)
Bluefin trevally (shit loads)
rainbow runner (lots)
GT's (at nusa lembongan)

Reef fish:
Peacock trout
coral trout
long nosed emperors
sweetlips

Hardest thing would be finding a good guide, every man and his dog will tell you they know where the fish are with no clue what so ever.

good luck
