1) Actually this was my second time experience on squid fishing or "mencandat sotong" in Terengganu, Malaysia. The activity was held annually and was organised by head of squid fishing named Mije. He was one who responsible to manage the activity as well.

2) This post just to share my experience and how wonderful to have this such activity with buddies. We planned well to depart from Putrajaya at night on 22nd of April 2016. This time, we were 9 participants. The activity started next day on Saturday afternoon at 5.30 pm. Fortunately, the weather seems good with not too speedy wind.
3) We checked in at homestay in Marang. The price was awesome, just RM100 a night. Very affordable!! The owner said, we can check out on Sunday and it considered one day. ( checked in at 4am on Saturday, checked out at 12noon on Sunday)
4) How about boat fee? We booked a bit late and through middle man (broker) then the price a bit expensive RM1450 for small boat suitable for 10-12 passengers. Normally, if directly from owner of the boat - the price only RM1000. But it's ok due to late booking. But next time, go directly to owner. While we were waiting at jetty, we knew a man who claimed himself as owner of the fishing boat. He offered RM1500 for big boat with up to 15 passengers. Good news!

5) The squid fishing season is on March to Mei every years. Then, it's just nice for our trip on 22nd April. The full moon appeared would give us lots squids. Allah wills!

| Steady!!don't ever dizzy |
6) 5.30pm on 23rd April, we departed from Chendering Jetty at Kuala Terengganu. Our first plan to fishing "ikan kerisi" but due to a bit late departure, we proceed to squid fishing.

7) I felt a bit headache and I know it's because I didn't take lunch. Only late breakfast with a plate of nasi minyak. Of course, I was dizzy and headache. At night during fishing, I have to vomit to release dizziness. If not, I would collapse and no more squid for fishing. Fortunately, lots I caught and the best was all big squids I successfully defeated.
8) All my buddies enjoyed fishing and some gone collapse while the rest still ok until 12am. After that, all collapse due to windy in the middle of the sea, so sleepy!
9) I love the experience, firstly to have experience on fishing and second on relaxing mind on the boat and away from business. Our catch was more than 20kg squids. Waw!!great..
10) Dear gang, tick your calendar on next year squid fishing. Feel the experience, feel the excitement!!
11) Nah....the pictures..
