Effective Rigs for Drifting and Trolling Fishing Around Singapore Angler Hotspots Articles Photo 1

MERSING, which is the take off point for P. Aur, Pemanggil, Tinggi and a host of other islands there, uses the single J-hook method. A single strand wire of about 6 to 8 inch is attached directly to the hook and the wire is tied to the 5-fathom (deper) long 501b mono leader with an Albright knot. The hook commonly used is a straight long shank of size 4/0 or 5/0. A needle-eye hook would be best but alas, it has gone out of fashion in Malaysia and almost impossible to find. So use one with the smallest eye you can lay your hands on.
To rig, slide the hook point through the mouth of the live bait and out at the soft membrane to one side of the lower jaw. Pull the hook through - hence the need for a small eye - and impale the hook through the lower back portion of the bait. The gape of the hook must be wider than the width of the bait with the point well exposed. (Fig. 1) This rig can be used for both drifting and trolling.

MERCHONG prefers the use of the 2-hook rig with very large - 6/0 - long shank hooks. These are connected together with single strand wire. Another piece of wire about 45cm long is connected to the front hook with a barrel twist and the other end formed into an eye by another barrel twist. The 60 to 80lb mono leader is then tied to the eye with a clinch knot. The bait is then hooked through the shoulders with the front hook and the top rear section with the trailing hook. (Fig. 2)

This rig is used mainly for trolling. I personally do not like this rigging method as I find that too much metal is exposed; so on one trip, I switched over to using the 'Mersing' method.

By all that is logical, I should be catching more fish with the more 'refined' style. At the end of the day, Atan the boatman out fished me 3 to 1. Maybe the trolling speed do not allow the fish to see the metal. Maybe logic do not apply in Merchong. The maybes may be plentiful but that is just what makes fishing such an inexact science, which makes it an art form.

What I've learned is that local method and knowledge is still the best. Listen to them. Do not be too smart, like I was. Of course this may not always hold true. While fishing in Kuala Penyu, Sabah, the local villagers have never trolled a lipped diver though there were a few for sale in K. Penyu town.

The first reaction from them is that the 'tipu' bait cannot possibly catch fish. The artificial lures did catch fish and now the villagers are carving their own 'Rapalas' and catching fish trolling them with hand lines. My personal line of action now is to put the local and imported knowledge to make fishing more interesting and successful.

Please bear in mind that the same method may be used for trolling live bait as well and the bridling method is still the best if marlin or sailfish is the intended fish. For other fishes, we'll have a look at how the locals do it.

PEKAN, the royal town, gave me a real eye opener. Chan of Pekan arranged for Major Ismail and me to be on board a nelayan boat that specialise in hand lining for tenggiris. Believe it of not, they prefer the small tambans of 6 to 10cm as live baits for tenggiris. The hook used is a straight long shank of 1/0 size (4cm from eye to bend). A 22-gauge single strand soft stainless steel wire is tied on to the hook with a barrel twist (no Haywire Twist) with the other end forming an eye with again a barrel twist. The length of the wire leader? Just 4 cm long. That gives a total of just 8 cm of metal against the razor teeth of the tenggiri. A mono leader of at least 10 fathoms with breaking strength of 301b (my estimate) is tied to the eye of the wire at one end and  a senakau (buffalo horn spreader) at the other.

The live bait is hooked on in two different ways, depending on the situation. When fishing with the boat kept in stationary position right next to where they have seen the tenggiri, (they can, I can't) the small baitfish is hooked at the lower rear, in front of the anal fin, right through the stomach cavity. (Fig. 3).

This is then cast out and the bait swims away from the boat, pulling the leader and sometimes even the spreader (no weights attached). It usually do not last long in the water, certainly not more than a minute, before it is snatched by a tenggiri. It may be a hook up, a stolen bait, a cut off bait with only the hooked portion coming back or a cut off line.

On average, out of 10 casts, five return with half the bait, one or two cut leaders and three or four tenggiris. Good averages, in my books. I tried with my usual 25 to 30 cm wire leaders. Lost count of how many bites they had before I had one. I believe I am not far off if I put the figure at 20 to 1.

For trolling, the live bait is hooked very similar to the method used in Mersing. The hook goes in the mouth and out through the gill plate. It is then lightly hooked at the rear of the bait, with the hook on one side and the point facing out (Fig. 4). An 8-ounce weight is clipped on to the spreader and the boat moves at a good 5 knots. Again, some cut offs happen but the number of bites and fish landed far out weigh the frequent retying necessary because of cut offs.

There are obviously many more ways to rig live bait for drifting and trolling, including using a treble hook for a stinger. The choice is yours but do remember that the more hooks there are, you do not just have more points to hook on to a fish but also more points to hook on to yourself or someone close by.

For me, I have found that the Pekan nelayan method works best for me except when I am after marlin or sailfish. For this, nothing beats the use of the circle hook bridled to the bait. Good hook ups, holds well and least harmful to the billfish ending with a successful tag & release.
