Dua nelayan asal Malalayang, Manado, Yustinus Lahama dan Delfie, tidak menyangka ikan hasil tangkapannya pada 19 Mei 2007 di perairan Teluk Manado cukup menggegerkan dunia. Pasalnya, ikan yang diketahui para ilmuwan dunia itu sejenis Latimeria menadoensis atau Coelacanth merupakan ikan purba yang sebenarnya sudah dianggap punah sejak 65 juta tahun lalu. Sekarang ikan tersebut telah dipajang dan membuat gempar peserta dari berbagai negara yang ikut dalam ajang World Ocean Conference (WOC) dan Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) Summit, 11-15 Mei 2009. Yustinus mengatakan, ikan purba tersebut ditangkap ketika tersangkut kail miliknya. Ketika ditarik tampak seekor ikan dengan panjang lebih kurang satu meter dan berat 30 kg disertai bintik-bintik putih. Ikan itu didapat pada kedalaman sekitar 105 meter di pantai Malalayang, pukul 08.00 Wita, 19 Mei lalu. “Meski tergolong besar, ikan tersebut tampaknya tidak melakukan perlawanan ketika diseret hingga ke dalam perahu,” katanya, mengisahkan penangkapan itu. Menurut data berbagai sumber, Coelacanth diartikan sebagai “duri yang berongga” berdasarkan kata Yunani coelia (berongga) dan acanthos (duri). Ini merujuk pada fisiknya yang berduri pada sirip yang berongga. Coelacanth adalah ikan yang berasal dari sebuah cabang evolusi tertua yang masih hidup dari ikan berahang. Diperkirakan, sudah punah sejak akhir masa Cretaceous 65 juta tahun lalu, sampai sebuah spesimen ditemukan di timur Afrika Selatan, di perairan Sungai Chalumna tahun 1938. Namun, sejak itu Coelacanth ditemukan di Komoro, perairan Pulau Manado Tua di Sulawesi, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambik, Madagaskar, dan Taman Llaut St Lucia di Afrika Selatan. Di Indonesia, khususnya di sekitar Manado, spesies ini oleh masyarakat lokal dinamai ikan raja laut. Coelacanth terdiri dari sekitar 120 spesies yang diketahui berdasarkan penemuan fosil. Sampai saat ini, telah ada dua spesies hidup Coelacanth yang ditemukan, yaitu Coelacanth Komoro, Latimeria chalumnae, dan Coelacanth Sulawesi, Latimeria menadoensis.“Hingga tahun 1938, ikan yang berkerabat dekat dengan ikan paru-paru ini dianggap telah punah semenjak akhir masa Cretaceous, sekitar 65 juta tahun yang silam,” kata Dekan Fakultas Kelautan dan Perikanan Unsrat Manado, Prof KWA Masengie. Menurut dia, ada seorang iktiologis (ahli ikan), Dr JLB Smith kemudian mendeskripsi ikan tersebut dan menerbitkan artikelnya di jurnal Nature pada tahun 1939. Ia memberi nama Latimeria chalumnae kepada ikan jenis baru tersebut, untuk mengenang sang kurator museum dan lokasi penemuan ikan itu. Pencarian lokasi tempat tinggal ikan purba itu selama belasan tahun berikutnya kemudian mendapatkan perairan Kepulauan Komoro di Samudera Hindia sebelah barat sebagai habitatnya, di mana beberapa ratus individu diperkirakan hidup pada kedalaman laut lebih dari 150 meter. Di luar kepulauan itu, sampai tahun 1990-an beberapa individu juga tertangkap di perairan Mozambik, Madagaskar dan juga Afrika Selatan. Namun semuanya masih dianggap sebagai bagian dari populasi yang kurang lebih sama. Pada tahun 1998, enam puluh tahun setelah ditemukannya fosil hidup Coelacanth Komoro, seekor ikan raja laut tertangkap jaring nelayan di perairan Pulau Manado Tua, Sulawesi Utara. Ikan ini sudah dikenal lama oleh para nelayan setempat, namun belum diketahui keberadaannya di sana oleh dunia ilmu pengetahuan. Ikan purba itu secara fisik mirip Coelacanth Komoro, dengan perbedaan pada warnanya. Ketika ikan itu ditangkap dengan jenis yang lain oleh dua nelayan di Manado, informasinya langsung menghebohkan warga hingga terdengar oleh Gubernur Sulut SH Sarundajang. Gubernur Sulut SH Sarundajang selaku penggagas pelaksana WOC, langsung mencari ikan tersebut dengan mengundang sejumlah peneliti dari berbagai akademisi, baik dalam negeri maupun luar negeri. Ikan tersebut langsung diamankan di Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan Sulut, disimpan di cold storage agar bisa terus bertahan hingga pelaksanaan WOC dan kepentingan ilmiah. Manado Ocean Declaration (MOD) sudah disepakati pada WOC yang diikuti ribuan peserta dari 80 lebih negara di Manado, serta telah mencatat sejarah tentang penyelamatan laut dan konservasinya. Namun, keberadaan ikan purba yang ternyata masih berada di perairan di dunia ini tetap mencuatkan ide agar Coelacanth menjadi maskot WOC. Koordinator Media Center WOC Roy Tumiwa di Manado mengatakan, ikan purba itu sudah dijadikan bahan diskusi di tingkat pemerintah dan stakeholder kelautan. Keberhasilan menyelenggarakan WOC telah menjadikan Kota Manado terkenal ke berbagai penjuru dunia. Namun, akan lebih terkenal lagi bila ikan purba coelancanth kelak dijadikan maskot WOC.

Which Style of Fishing Kayak Is Right for You?

Kayak fishing has become a major pastime. The surge in kayak fishing has been met by kayak manufacturers with more and more styles of kayaks designed exclusively for fishing. Generally these feature fishing accessories such as rod holders and are more stable to allow for movement without overturning as easily.
There are so many kayaks on the market- and specifically fishing kayaks- now that the choice at first can seem daunting. Kayaks come in a variety of lengths, shapes and materials- each designed for a specific purpose. It is best to select from those kayaks that are designed specifically for fishing. Even when you limit your search to fishing kayaks, there are hundreds of models to choose from. The sport however is dominated by a couple dozen models which repeatedly are the favorites among kayak fishermen. Often it is best to stick to a tried and true favorite. There are a number of considerations in selecting the kayak that is right for you and your intended use.
The first, most basic consideration in kayak selection is the type of kayak. There are essentially two types of kayaks- the sit in kayak and the sit on top kayak. There are other vessel options such as the inflatable kayak and pontoon boats and other small fishing craft.
A SIK is the traditional type of kayak that one thinks of when they envision a kayak. You sit in a cockpit inside the kayak. Any water that comes over the side must be physically removed by bailing or with a pump. Water can be prevented from entering the kayak with the use of a "skirt" which is a membrane that goes over the opening of the kayak that has an opening for your torso. It is a required accessory for white water kayaking and kayaking a rough ocean. One advantage of the sit in kayak is that it can keep you dryer - especially when fitted with the skirt. Often greater stability and maneuverability can be achieved with a sit in kayak as your knees grip the inner walls of the kayak which is what makes this model the favorite among those who kayak for the sake of kayaking. The sit in kayak can however be more difficult to get in or to bail if they overturn, and in one you will have more limited mobility. Among sit in kayaks, the Old Town Dirigo 120 Angler Recreational Fishing Kayak is a favorite for its stability and versatility.
The sit on top kayak is the more popular fishing kayak as they let you fish from a variety of positions and they have greater storage. SOTs are moulded tubes that you sit on rather than in. Any water that ends up on the kayak drains through holes that run from the top to below the water line. These holes are called scuppers and they eliminate the need to remove the water as the properties of the designs does this. This means however that you will get wet so dress appropriately as you are exposed to the elements. The sit on top allows you to get on and of with greater ease and is easier to regain if you overturn. The sit on top is a great choice if you will be standing, getting off or on, or if you want to be in contact with the water or sit side saddle while fishing. Models such as the Perception Sport Pescador 12 angler kayak are a favorite for their storage, maneuverability and style.
Inflatable kayaks are another option. They have some advantages on their own over both the sit in kayak and the sit on top kayak- namely that they can be deflated and easily stored and carried. This might be necessary if storage is limited or if you would like to hike in to a remote fishing spot. These are essentially a bit of a hybrid between the sit on top and the sit in kayak as they are often open to the elements but have side panels that surround you. They have great stability but generally don't track quite as well as the SOT or the SIK. These can have the tendency to collect water and a bailing pump or one with a drainage system is best for this reason. Bic Yakkair Fishing 2Hp Inflatable Kayak is a favorite for its light weight, carrying pack and built in water run offs.
Pontoon boats are another option for a small fishing vessel. If you like to fish on generally calm waters and like to be in a seat which allows you rotation and maneuverability, then this can be an excellent choice. There is plenty of storage space and increased movement while fishing. These can be extremely stable and, while they are open and one is exposed to the elements, the elevation of the seat keeps you from coming in contact with the water. These also can be fitted with a motor so this kind of boat is a good option for those who do not desire to paddle. Pontoon boats can also allow for increased mobility and excellent storage as some models collapse easily. If you fly fish the ability to stand and sight fish makes makes this a good option. The Sea Eagle FoldCat Inflatable Boat is a favorite for its easy of assembly and its versatility.

Tabiat Udang Galah

1.Habitat
Udang galah amat gemar mendiami habitat sampah sarap dan air sedikit berarus kerana di situ dikatakan banyak makanan. Bagaimanapun, ada pendapat mengatakan di mana ada buaya di situ akan udang.
Bersampan semasa memancing udang galah dikatakan lebih mendatangkan hasil berbanding memancing dari tebing. Jika bersampan............ akan memudahkan pergerakan untuk mencari lubuk udang.







2.Tabiat


Udang juga mempunyai tabiat gemar berkumpul. Apabila pemancing melabuhkan umpan hampir setengah jam tidak mendatangkan hasil, bererti kena beralih ke lubuk lain. Biasanya udang aktif mencari makanan selepas musim hujan dan panas terik dalam masa seminggu. Itulah masa terbaik untuk memancingnya.
Ada juga pemancing yang mengguna pakai petunjuk daun getah gugur menandakan bermulanya musim udang galah. Memancing udang galah memerlukan kepakaran tersendiri. Pada masa yang sama udang galah juga bijak melepaskan diri daripada mata kail.

The Electronic Angler

Technology can greatly enhance the fishing experience — but only if you read the manual.
By Larry D. Hodge
Ah, fishing. It’s such a simple pleasure, far removed from the clang, clamor and constant communication of the modern world. It’s just you, your favorite fishing buddy, the fish and a little bit of paradise.
Really? What planet are you fishing on?
Electronic devices have burrowed into our lives so deeply that we tend to forget how pervasive and helpful — nay, essential — they have become. Let’s look at some of the ways electronics might be used in the course of a typical fishing trip.
  • You visit the TPWD Web site to get lake information.
  • You visit another Web site to check on the weather.
  • You visit a fishing Web site to get tips on where the fish have been biting and what baits they like.
  • You e-mail your fishing partner to set a meeting time and place.
  • You set your digital alarm clock so you won’t oversleep.
  • Next morning you board your vehicle (with computer-controlled ignition and fuel injection) and head out.
  • You navigate to the lake using your on-board navigation system, which uses satellites orbiting the earth to pinpoint your position.
  • At the lake, you use a combination GPS/sonar unit to find fishing spots and locate fish.
  • When your daughter catches a six-pound bass (which you weigh on your digital scale), she calls a friend on her cell phone to share the good news, takes a picture of the fish with the same device and slips the bass back beneath the waves.
  • The weather radio informs you that the dark cloud on the horizon is accompanied by lightning and high winds, so you return to the dock, using your GPS to help you navigate safely.
Let’s review. On one ordinary fishing trip, you’ve used your personal computer; a telephone system operated by computers; a worldwide network of computers linked by phone lines and satellites; a clock controlled by a radio signal from an atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado; numerous computer chips in the bowels of your automobile and boat; a network of satellites orbiting the earth 11,000 miles in space and transmitting electronic signals continuously; a fish finder that uses electronics to generate, send and interpret sound signals transmitted into the water; a handheld device capable of sending and receiving audio and video signals wirelessly using a nationwide electronic network; and a receiving unit linked to another nationwide network of radio stations gathering information from radar as well as electronic instruments measuring wind speed and direction, precipitation, barometric pressure and temperature — several trillion dollars worth of electronics in all, in fact. And all this doesn’t even take into account the fact that the clothes you wore and the fishing tackle you used were doubtless designed, manufactured, shipped and sold with the aid of — what else? — electronics.
All so you can catch a fish you don’t even keep. Nor do you give a second thought to miracles of communication undreamed of just a few decades ago.
The days of Hemingway-esque mano-a-mano struggles between an angler with rudimentary equipment and a primal fish no longer exist, save perhaps when kids assault neighborhood creeks and ponds with cane poles, bobbers and cans of backyard worms.
The electronic invasion is not a bad thing. Fishing today is safer, more productive and just as much if not more fun than it’s ever been, and electronics are a big part of the reason.
Finding Fish. Tournament angler Jim Behnken of Garden Ridge uses a recent experience on Choke Canyon Reservoir as an example. “I was talking to someone after the tournament about the way fish in Choke Canyon are positioned on tank dams right now,” Behnken says. “Electronics make it possible for you to go straight to a particular tank dam or channel bend and fish it. Thirty-pound bags [weight of fish caught] are not that uncommon these days, and a lot of the reason we are seeing so many fish caught is because we are using electronics.”
Finding Yourself.“With all the technology that’s out there, the one piece I could not do without anymore is my GPS,” says pro angler Tom Mann Jr. “I’m a structure fisherman, and being able to put in 20 or 25 waypoints within 3 feet of where I want to fish has been a tremendous help to me. No serious fisherman should fish without it.”
Many units combine a fish finder with a GPS (global positioning satellite) unit — and a map plotter. This one electronic marvel can, all at the same time, show you your position on a map of the lake (with the locations of underwater structure marked), the depth of the water, your speed and direction of travel, water temperature at the surface and what’s between your boat and the bottom, be it brush, fish or the meeting place of warm and cold layers of water called the thermocline. Jim Behnken points out another use. “Sometimes I get lost on my way to a boat ramp or lake, and I stop, get out of my vehicle, turn on the GPS on the boat and use it to see where I am,” he laughs.
Software is available for thousands of lakes and rivers across the nation.
Keeping in Touch. You may not think of your cell phone as an electronic fishing aid, but it can be one of the most valuable tools on your boat. Take along (or program in) numbers you might need if you have boat trouble or need law enforcement. Cell phones can be very helpful when fishing with friends in another boat — when they find fish, real friends will call to let you know. Many guides use cell phones, including those with walkie-talkie capability, for exchanging information confidentially with other guides.
Running for Cover. Not many freshwater anglers use radar (Radio Detection And Ranging), but it’s standard equipment for offshore boaters and is available for freshwater use. It’s worth considering both as a fishing aid and for safety. “You can overlay the radar on your map and see if someone is already fishing an area. It will also pick up birds working over fish,” says marine angler Richard Chapman. “It’s especially useful for spotting storms and seeing how far away they are. You can tie it into your radio and GPS, and if you need help, the unit will show the Coast Guard where you are.”
Seeing with Sound. Many advances in consumer electronics sprang from military needs. Radar was used during World War II to detect enemy planes. GPS was developed as a military navigation system. Sonar (SOund, NAvigation and Ranging) was invented as a way of detecting icebergs — remember the Titanic? — but quickly found a military use in antisubmarine warfare. Not until the 1950s and the development of transistors (invented in Dallas, thank you very much) was a practical “fish finder” possible.
A sonar unit consists of a transmitter, transducer, receiver and display. The transmitter produces an electrical impulse, which the transducer converts to a cone-shaped sound wave it sends into the water. The sound wave is reflected by the bottom and by objects in the water — stumps, fish, old roadbeds, whatever — and received by the transducer, which converts it into an electrical signal it sends to the display. This happens about 200,000 times a second in most sonar units. By a process you wouldn’t understand even if I could explain it to you, the display converts the signals into a visual depiction of the bottom and whatever is between it and the boat. Even better, the display tells you how deep the water is and at what depth fish are.
Hard objects (like a rocky bottom or a submerged, paved road) have a stronger return echo than soft objects like mud or brush. Therefore, hard objects show up as a wide line on the display’s screen, while soft ones show up as a thin line. The sensitivity of sonar units can be adjusted to show the most information without cluttering up the screen with “noise.” Most units have an automatic setting that takes care of this for you.
The Gold in Arches. Displays can be color or black and white. “Color displays are fine, but pixels are everything,” Lake Fork guide Roy Greer told me. The more vertical pixels a display screen has, the better it can show detail. Because most fish are thicker in the middle than on the ends, the pixels showing the middle of the fish appear at a higher point on the display, depicting the fish as an arched line. The more lines of vertical pixels a display has, the smaller the fish it can show as an arch. Many units have a zoom feature that enlarges all the echoes on a screen, making it easier to see arches. Some let you choose to have fish displayed as fish shapes rather than arches.
By now you’ve probably figured out that there’s more to using electronic devices than pushing the on button. Fish finders and GPS units come with an important accessory you should not leave home without: the operating manual. Yes, it’s a pain to read the instructions and practice using the built-in tutorials, but without them you will have little more than an expensive piece of boat dash décor. “I cannot believe how many people I talk to at tournaments who don’t know how to put in a waypoint [a specific location],” says Behnken. “If you will spend a couple of hours learning how to use your electronics, you will be amazed at how many more and bigger fish you can catch. Everyone could become a better angler by learning how to use their electronics.”
Weird Science. Just when you’ve learned to operate and interpret ordinary fish finders, along comes side-imaging sonar, which uses two sonar beams directed to the sides to produce an almost three-dimensional image of what is on either side of the boat. Because the beams are reflected sideways, like rays of light, the image of an underwater tree looks very similar to the shadow of a tree illuminated by early morning or late evening sunlight. The objects are displayed with almost picture-like quality, although a bit skewed.
Anglers use a variety of sound-producing lures on the theory that fish locate food partly by hearing. The Biosonix fish attractor uses recorded sounds of predator fish feeding on prey, played through an underwater speaker, to attract fish to an area and stimulate them to bite. “I believe there are many times when the bite gets quicker with it than without it,” says Bob Holmes, a guide on Richland-Chambers Reservoir.
Interpreting sonar images can be confusing even to experienced anglers. “Looking at a sonar image, you may not be able to tell if a high point is a stump or a brushpile or something else,” says Charles Whited of San Marcos. “I use an Aqua-Vu underwater camera to see exactly what’s down there. It works best in clear water near the bottom. If there are fish on a brushpile, you can see what they are.” Even with its onboard light the camera’s range is just a few feet.
I’m a sucker for tiny technology, so a mini fish finder from Humminbird caught my eye. There’s a castable sensor you attach to your line and a display for mounting on your rod. It’s a Dick Tracy watch for anglers. The display is only 42 pixels tall (compared to 10 times that on many full-size units), so it’s difficult to see details, but you can take it anywhere and don’t need a boat to use it. And it’s just plain cute. Handheld units are available from other companies.
For me, fishing is like expecting a child. I really don’t want to know ahead of time whether the baby is a boy or a girl or whether the fish about to bite is a largemouth bass or a hybrid striper. Too much information spoils the surprise and takes away some of the anticipation. But there’s also fascination in watching the underwater world scroll across a screen and knowing if everything works as it should, something good could happen any second now.

Fishing Without Bait

$

Have you ever left the dock and headed out to fish after forgetting your bait?

How many of us have ever left the dock and headed out to fish only to find you left the bait in a cooler on the dock? It’s a long ride back to the dock, and at the price of fuel today, it makes it very expensive to head back and retrieve it.
I have left my bait on several occasions over the years. There were also some days when there was no bait to be found! There are some solutions to a dilemma like this. Being prepared ahead of time can allow you to fish without retrieving that bait.

I always keep several items on the boat. These are things I only remove when I do a complete cleaning, and I make sure they are stowed on the boat again before I finish. They include several Sabiki rigs in a variety of sizes, an unbreakable jar of salt-hardened shrimp pieces, and a cast net.

The Sabiki rigs are a staple item on my boat for catching live bait. The shrimp is what I use to tip my bucktail jigs, and it also can be used alone to catch small fish for bait. The cast net is, of course, the major bait catching item. I keep it stowed in a two gallon plastic bucket, always ready when a school of baitfish comes around.

Improvising also plays an important role on one of these days. I remember one trip in particular when I was growing up in Key West. We had a small skiff and outboard – an 11 hp Wizard from Western Auto – and we did a lot of trolling for barracuda. We trolled because the boat leaked so badly we could only anchor for a few minutes at a time.

The boat was tied to some mangroves in a small creek. A fishing trip entailed buying bait, usually three pounds of whole mullet, and taking all our gear to the boat.

On this particular day, we managed to leave the mullet on the counter at the bait shop. We discovered this fact after we had left the creek and run to the small islands near Sawyer Key, around which we planned to troll. With no bait, my father took his shirt and undershirt off. He tore several strips of cloth from his white undershirt. They were about ten inches long and two inches wide.

Normally we would have taken one filet from the side of a mullet and cut it in half long ways to make two strip baits. This strip bait would be placed on a tandem double hook rig, and trolled slowly behind the boat. Barracuda on the grass flats around these islands could not resist bait like this.

Today, we took the cloth strips and hooked them up just like we did the mullet baits. In short order, we had several fish in the boat. The belly of a barracuda is very nice and white, and my father did not wait very long to slice a few strip baits from the fish we had caught.

It turned out to be a good day, even “without bait”. I even went to “Show and tell” at school the next Monday to tell everyone how we had caught fish on a piece of cloth!

Next time you're on the water with no bait, try a little innovation. It just might work!

Fighting a Fish – How to Fight a Fish

After you hook that fish, what do you do to make sure you get it into the boat?
Fighting a Tarpon

You've bought your tackle, spent money on bait, and actually convinced a fish to bite your hook. He's hooked and running - now what do you do? Just how do you fight a fish? Lots of anglers don't catch a lot of fish because they don't know some simple procedures for fighting a fish. You need to use very tool you can when fighting a fish. If you do it right, the size of fish you can actually land on light tackle will amaze you!

Use Your Tackle

You have fishing tackle for a reason. While in a number of places anglers still use a hand line, we have rods and reels to help us.
  • Rods
    Your rod can be the most important part of your tackle when fighting a fish. The rod bends and gives when the fish runs away from you. You can move the rod, drop it down, lift it up, and let the bend in the rod give and take the shock off the line when a fish is fighting.
  • ReelReels - even inexpensive reels - have a drag system. That drag system is designed to allow line to be pulled off the reel. Adjustments on the drag will change the amount of pressure required to pull line off that reel. A properly adjusted drag will feed line when a fish runs and prevent the line from braking.
  • Line
    Speaking of your line, it actually plays a part in the fish fight as well. You need to know and understand what your line is going to do under pressure. Monofilament and fluorocarbon line have stretch in them - an amazing amount of stretch. That's not a bad thing; it is simply something you need to know. You can use that stretch to your advantage. That stretching coupled with the reel's drag system will prevent your line from breaking as the fish fights.
    Braided line, unlike monofilament, has virtually zero stretch. That lack of stretch will cause a break if you do not know how to handle a fish on braided line.

    Use Give and Take

    What do I mean by "give and take"? I mean that sometimes when fighting a fish you have to give and sometimes you have to take. If your tackle is set up right, when the fish runs away from you, give; give to him; allow the rod to drop a bit; let the drag do its job and give him some line. But if the fish is moving toward you, take! Take up any slack line and reel to keep a tight line!

    Pump and Wind

    This is the process of pulling back on the rod and moving the fish toward you. When the rod get's high in the air, begin reeling as you let the rod back down. Pump up with the rod and wind down with the reel. The key here is to keep the same amount of pressure on the fish. You have probably had someone tell you to "keep the line tight" while you are fighting a fish. They are exactly right. With a small amount of practice you can learn to keep that line tight and pump and wind - and you can learn it right in your own yard:
    • Tie the end of your line to a tree trunk or a fence post - anything solid that won't move.
    • Let line off the reel and move as far away from where you tied the line as you can - maybe 100 feet or so.
    • As you stand far away from the tree, reel the line onto the reel and get a tight line to the tree or fence post - no slack and no drooping.
    • Notice that as you lift the rod, the rod develops a bow or bend in it. Also notice that if you pull back hard enough, the reel's drag will begin letting line out. You want to be able to apply pressure to a fish right to the point that the drag will almost run, but no more.
    • Since you can't move the tree to you as you would a fish, you can simulate all of this practice by walking toward the tree. Walk slowly toward the tree as you lift the rod to that special pressure point. Stop lifting when the rod gets vertical.
    • As you continue walking, reel line in, making sure to keep that same amount of pressure. If the reel's drag runs at the same time that you reel, it means that you are applying too much pressure.
    • Continue walking, using that pump and wind motion, making sure you keep the same amount of pressure on the tree.
    • Now imagine that this is a fish, and instead of you walking to the fish, you are actually moving the fish toward you every time you lift the rod.
    This is the basic pump and wind mechanism, but there are some things to watch out for and things to NOT do:
    • If the fish is running away from you, do not reel. NEVER turn the reel handle when the drag is running out. It will only twist your line.
    • Never reel while you are lifting your rod. Always try to reel your rod back down after you have pumped it to a vertical position
    • In all the pump and wind motions, it is easy at first to allow your line to go slack for an instant or two. This is not acceptable, and will result in the fish coming unhooked. ALWAYS keep a tight line!
    • Always pay attention to your reel. Most reels have some sort of clicker or noise generator on them that will indicate when the drag is running. I said most, because some reels don't have one, or the mechanism is worn or broken. So watch your reel to see if line is being run off by the drag. I sometimes like to keep a finger on the line next to the reel. It helps me feel whether the drag is running or not.

    Practice

    I bought a pair old, old bait casting rods and reels when my two boys were in grade school. They worked well, but were inexpensive and basically disposable if they broke. I took the boys out in the front yard, gave them a few instructions on casting and then stood back and watched. They would practice for hours chunking a small sinker at the base of a tree. That practice paid off, as they because very proficient using a bait casting outfit. The same situation is at play when learning to fight a fish. Go in the yard and practice. Steady pressure; pump and wind; applying enough pressure to move a fish but not move line off the reel with a running drag.

    You Can Do This!

    Yes, you can! Practice in the yard will help you learn to keep a steady, solid pressure on the fish, which will in turn help prevent the fish from coming unhooked. The more times you catch that tree or fence post, the better you will be at fighting an actual fish!

    You can read more about catching that fish. Fighting the fish to get him in is one thing. Landing him is another task you need to learn.

Tips Memancing GT (gebur)

$
0
0






Ikan GT atau di Bengkulu sering disebut ikan gebur atau kalau di Jawa ikan kuwe, merupakan salah satu faforit para pemancing. Tarikan ikan ini yang menghetak saat menyambar umpan merupakan sensasi tersendiri bagi para pencari strike. Ikan GT menyukai perairan pantai yang banyak karangnya. Ikan GT termasuk ikan peradator dan ikan predator makan baik di siang hari maupun di malam hari. Kebiasaan ikan GT yang menyukai berburu di perairan berkarang dan menyambar mangsa di permukaan sehingga sangat baik menggunakan umpat atas (poper)  dengan teknik memancing poping.
Musim ikan GT besar biasanya pada bulan Maret, April, dan Oktober, November. Ikan ini menyukai perairan pantai yang berkarang atau berbatuan di pecahan ombak bertemu dengan karang atau bebatuan itulah ikan GT mencari makan ikan-ikan kecil, udang atau pun cumi-cumi.

 

Umpan buatan yang terbuat dari kepingan CD (compact disk), kepingan CD yang apabila terkena sinar matahari akan membentuk kilauan warna seperti pelangi, ini lah yang membuat GT tertarik untuk menyambarnya, mungkin GT menyangka bahwa kilauan tersebut berasal dari ikan kecil yang merupakan makanan favoritnya.
Membuatnya tidak begitu sulit, kesulitannya hanyalah pada saat memotong kepingan CD saja yang harus hati-hati (gunakan gunting kain). Setelah dipotong seperti bentuk tubuh ikan kita bolongi kedua ujungnya, lalu kita pasangkan mata kail di kedua ujung tersebut. Pada salah satu bagian ujungnya kita tambahkan kili-kili, atau gunakan kereasi anda sendiri, umpan siap untuk digunakan.

Umpan memancing GT, Kuwe atau Gebur

  1. Untuk umpan yang buatan atau lure poping ikan GT yang berwarna merah dan putih sepertinya yang paling banyak mendapat strike.
  2. Umpan alami :
  3. Udang yang dikupas kulitnya
  4. Udang hidup
  5. Cumi
  6. Anak ikan belanak
  7. Belut yang dipotong 2 cm
Umpan buatan atau poper (umpan buatan yang mengapung) merupakan pilihan yang baik untuk memancing di daerah karang. Sedangkan pilihan warna atau bentuk poper sedik banyak juga berpengaruh dalam strike tidaknya kita. Sebagian pemancing menyakini bahwa poper yang berwarna merah putih lah yang paling cepat di sambar ikan ini. Tetapi sebagian pemancing lebih menyakini semburan atau gerakan yang kita buat saat menarik poperlah yang menjadi kunci sehingga ikan tertarik menyantap umpan kita. 
Sebenarnya di setiap daerah atau hotspot memancing memiliki ikan yang berbeda dan mempunyai kebiasaan yang berbeda pula. Sehingga kita perlu melakukan kombinasi antara bentuk, warna, maupun gerakan kita saat menarik poper merupakan kombinasi yang harus kita coba sehingga mendapatkan kombinasi yang pas untuk satu daerah/hotspot memancing.

Siklus GT/ Giant traveler 
GT dewasa bertelur di muara sungai.
Anak GT biasa berada di muara sungai. Setelah tahan terhadap air laut barulah mereka bermigrasi ke laut.
Ikan GT berukuran sedang biasa berada di dekat perairan pantai berbatu atau berkarang.
Ikan GT besar biasa berada di perairan dalam berkarang.
Ikan GT dapat mencapai berat puluhan kilogram
Kembali ke sungai dan biasanya di malam hari untuk bertelur (saat air pasang).

Salam Strike.............

Tackle type:Watercraft
Manufacturer:Sea Eagle
Reviewer:JIP





 

Introduction: For those who don't own traditional boats and look for an alternative way to get on the water, Sea Eagle has many available portable fishing options. The latest of which is the new Sea Eagle 285 FPB, a frameless pontoon fishing boat which is designed to be lighter yet still offer a wealth of angler friendly features.
 
Introducing the new Sea Eagle 285 FPB

Sea Eagle Past Reviews: Before we get into the details of this new fishing machine let's take a look at the past Sea Eagle reviews here on TackleTour. Our very first Sea Eagle review was back in 2002 with the PaddleSki, a combination of a catamaran and kayak that can be used for paddling, motoring, rowing, sailing, and fishing. To this date we still use the PaddleSki as it's one of the most versatile inflatable watercrafts out there.
 
Then later that same year we reviewed the Sea Eagle 8, an inflatable raft rigged for fishing, and though a classic product is still among the mot popular in the lineup. Though we found it was a very stable fishing platform to stand on, the entire rig was not as easy to maneuver unless equipped with an electric or gas motor.
 
Standing up to fish is not a problem with the SE 285 FPB
 
Finally in our last in-depth review in 2006 we took a look at the well designed Sea Eagle FoldCat. This two person watercraft is easy and quick to set up, can be rowed or motored, and offers excellent stability (so good that there is now a 4 person version). They even have an optional casting stabilizing bar for you to lean or grab onto when standing up to fish. We have thus far found Sea Eagle boats to offer portability, high quality construction, and the fact the company is adding innovative features specifically for anglers is a major plus.
 
You can use an electric motor or gas motor up to 3 HP, or you can use the provided oars to row yourself around
 
New Sea Eagle 285 FPB: Now we take a look at the new Sea Eagle(SE) 285 FPB (Frameless Pontoon Boat). The SE 285 is a U-shaped inflatable that almost looks like an oversized float tube, it is designed to be powered with either a gas or electric motor, or good old fashioned oars. When it comes to ease of setup Sea Eagle claims it takes only 5 minutes to inflate and rig this boat.
 
The optional motor mount
 
Here are the detailed specifications of the Sea Eagle 285 FPB:
 
Sea Eagle 285 FPB Specifications and Included Items
Size9 ft long x 4 ft wide
Weight42 lbs (hull weight)

Oars2 aluminum oars
PumpFoot pump
Storage Nylon carry bag
MSRP$499.00
 
Included is a clip-on stow pouch
 
The SE 285 FPB is designed to be rugged, lightweight, and ultra portable weighing in at only 42 pounds and when deflated, can be packed into a small bag and transported in any vehicle. Transportation is made easier because the entire boat is frameless. With the SE 285 FPB's design no metal frames are needed for stability.
 
Optional Equipment
Motor mount for electric or gas motor up to 3 HP
Swivel Seat
Floor board
 
Two rod holders are built right into the back of the inflatable
 

Conclusion: Inflatable boats offer a blend of performance, portability, and value for anglers, especially those who enjoy hitting remote lakes or don't want to deal with maintenance that accompanies a traditional boat. Even though I personally run a Boston Whaler on most of my field tests, the Sea Eagle inflatable lineup has always been my choice when fishing smaller lakes where hand launching is possible. The Sea Eagle 285 FPB is the company's latest offering and does what Sea Eagle is best known for, building small, easy to carry, and quick to set up watercraft. Unlike many other inflatable boats it is specifically designed for fishermen, and with innovative features like two integrated rod holders this boat is sure to please anglers on the go. The Sea Eagle 285 FPB will be available at the end of May 2009 and can be bought directly from Sea Eagle's website. Stay tuned as we put this boat through the paces in an upcoming full fledged review. Eastern Sierras here I come.

4 Obat Herbal Untuk Hipertensi
 
Tentu kita mengenal istilah ini “Hipertensi” mendengarnya kita langsung terpaku pada jaringan pembuluh darah, memang betul bahwa penyakit hipertensi adalah penyakit yang berada pada pembuluh darah atau lebih akrab dikenal sebagai penyakit Tekanan Darah Tinggi.
Di Indonesia, setidaknya sepertiga orang dewasa memiliki tekanan darah tinggi di atas rata-rata atau diluar ambang batas normal, tidak sedikit pun orang yang mengalami gejala komplikasi dan sibuk untuk mencari obat yang aman meski terkadang tanpa resep dari dokter, hal ini akan sangat beresiko namun apakah kita tahu bahwa didekat kita ada obat herbal alami yang mudah dan sangat gampang untuk diolah?

Admin Artikel Terkait kali ini akan berbagi tips tentang 5 obat herbal untuk hipertensi yang terbukti alami untuk mengatasi penyakit ini. Meski di dalam dunia medis pengobatan alternatif sudah diakui, namun khasiat obat-obatan herbal tentu harus dibuktikan entah itu dari hasil yang dialami oleh penderita lain maupun penelitian ilmiah tentang itu.Kondisi obat-obatan yang kian hari kian mahal kini hanya menjadi kendala dalam mencapai kesehtan yang murah dan dijangkau masyarakat, padahal hipertensi adalah penyakit yang merakyat, siapapun bisa terjangkit dan terus menerus dicari obatnya.

4 Obat Herbal Untuk Mengobati Hipertensi

Adapun ke lima obat herbal tersebut antara lain adalah :
1. Bawang Putih
Pada artikel sebelumnya pada website ini khasiat bawang putih telah dijelaskan, kami akan mengulas kembali secara khusus tentang Manfaat bawang Putih untuk penyakit hipertensi, Senyawa/zat yang ada dalam bawang putih sangat efektif untuk mengobati hipertensi, tanaman herbal ini adalah tanaman yang direkomendasikan pertama karena bawang putih tergolong mudah didapatkan dan paling populer untuk mengobati penderita hipertensi, zat alisin dan hidrogen sulfida dalam bawang putih sangat efektif bertindak sebagai obat hipertensi, zat ini bekerja untuk membuat pembuluh darah menjadi semakin besar dan menjadi agak lebih elastis sehingga dapat secara cepat menurunkan tekanan darah, menkonsumsi bawang putih sebanyak 900 mg secara rutin selama kurang lebih tiga bulan akan membantu menurunkan tekanan darah (sistol) sebesar 6 – 10 mmHg dan (diastol) 6-9 mmHg.

2. Minyak Ikan
Minyak ikan juga ternyata merupakan alternatif yang efektif menjadi obat herbal untuk hipertensi, kandungan omega 3 yang terdapat dalam minyak ikan sangat baik untuk jantung serta organ-organ tubuh kita lainnya, efek dari omega 3 pada minyak ikan dapat mencegah/mengatasi penyempitan pembuluh darah sehingga tekanan darah akan turun dan aliran darah akan berfungsi secara baik, namun minyak ikan mungkin untuk beberapa masyarakat agak sulit didapatkan. Menkonsumsi 4-7 gram minyak ikan sehari selama kurang lebih 6 bulan akan membantu menurunkan tekanan darah penderita hipertensi sebesar 4,5 mmHg / 2,2mmHg (Sistol/distol).

3. Belimbing
Belimbing adalah alterntif yang juga tergolong populer dimasyarakat kita untuk mengobati tekanan darah tinggi, rasa asam yang terdapat pada buah belimbing dipercaya dapat menurunkan tekanan darah, meski belum ada penelitian terkait tentang khasiat buah belimbing ini untuk hipertensi namun buah belimbing ini sudah dipercaya turun temurun untuk mengobati hipertensi.

4. Mentimun
Sejak dahulu mentimun dipercaya oleh masyarakat sebagai obat untuk mengobati penyakit darah tinggi, meski fakta terkait tentang buah ini belum diteliti secara lebih lanjut tentang khasiatnya terhadap penyakit hipertensi, namun mentimun memiliki zat yang bersifat diuretik yang dimana zat ini akan membantu mengeluarkan air dari dalam tubuh, hal ini akan mengurangi tingkat tekanan darah karena semakin banyak air yang keluar dari tubuh maka semakin ringan beban kerja jantung kita dan tekanan darah akan semakin turun.

Demikianlah artikel tentang 4 Obat Herbal Untuk Hipertensi, semoga artikel ini bermanfaat untuk kita semua.

Cara Memancing Ikan Toman

Snakehead
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sebelum kita tahu beragam resep umpan Toman serta Gabus,mestinya sedikit kita tahu karakter basic ikan-ikan itu. (seluruhnya resep ini dapat didapat dari beragam komunitas serta pengalaman sebagian rekan) 
Karakter Basic Ikan Toman serta Ikan Gabus 
Baik ikan toman serta ikan gabus ataupun ikan yang lain mempunyai karakter yang nyaris sama yakni tak tahan pada panas matahari di mana panas terik itu mengakibatkan keadaan air di danau jadi hangat hingga ikan bakal pergi ke pinggir-pinggir danau atau bersembunyi dibawah ranting-ranting pohon yang sudah rebah untuk berteduh. 
Keadaan seperti ini mengakibatkan kita susah untuk memancing dengan tehnik popping serta lagi tehnik popping ini membutuhkan keadaan fisik yang sempurna serta danau yang luas serta bebas kendala untuk lemparan ataupun tarikan. 
Ikan toman kita kenali yaitu type ikan predator di mana dia bakal memburu ikan–ikan yang kecil untuk dimangsa, serta pada waktu keadaan panas umumnya ikan-ikan bakal pergi ke tepi danau karena ikan toman yang senantiasa bergerak untuk mencari mangsa. 
Nah untuk keadaan seperti ini kita membutuhkan memancing tehnik dasaran yakni umpan dilempar serta dilewatkan sembari menanti ikan toman datang memakannya. 
Ikan toman yaitu ikan pemakan daging jadi anda dapat mengunakan type daging ikan apapun, atau yang umum digunakan dengan memakai daging ayam ambillah 1/4 dada daging ayam ras (pedaging) lalu potong kecil-kecil kurang lebih 2 cm lalu buang kulit, lemak serta tulang lalu di kaitkan pada kail sejumlah 2-4 potongan lalu lempar deh pada daerah yang terduga tempat persembunyian ikan toman. 
Langkah mancing ikan Toman serta Gabus dengan tehnik Casting/Popping. 
Yakinkan anda memancing pada pagi hari atau sore hari. Kenapa? Karena ikan belum demikian mencari daerah pinggiran yang susah untuk dicasting. 
Apabila anda memancing casting atau popping di siang hari, tidaklah kenapa asal dapat bersabar saja. Apabila memakai umpan froggy, anda mesti pandai-pandai mengatur tarikan sampai seperti alami. 
Apabila memakai umpan popper untuk mencing ikan gabus atau ikan toman, juga sama, tetaplah perlahan menariknya supaya serupa dengan ikan kecil sungguhan. 
Bersabar lebih benar-benar dibutuhkan agar langkah kaki anda tak terdengar atau apabila memakai perahu, maka yakinkan anda sudah bertempat di situ 1 jam-an. 
Pakai senar atau kenur yang kuat untuk beban optimal 20 kg supaya kita tak kuatir putus. Pakai Kail pancing ukuran 8 serta janganlah sangsi untuk mengubah ukurannya di lokasi, apabila ukuran toman ditempat itu rata-rata pada hari itu kecil ikannya. 
Joran sebaiknya fast tapper. Karena liarnya gerakan ikan toman, di kuatirkan bakal mengakibatkan kerusakan/mematahkan joran yang slow tapper, terkecuali apabila memang bahan serta merknya bagus. 
Reel tak perlu mencari yang mahal, carilah di toko pancing on-line atau toko pancing yang lain yang tengah, sekiranya harga 400 beberapa ribu itu telah mumpuni ; awet, kuat, serta mantap. Dapat untuk kemampuan drag 5 kg, senar lebih kurang 200 meteran.
 
 

Sambal Seruit dan Ikan Bakar a la Mas Moko

Siapkan nasi segunung untuk menyantapnya!






Tidak ada yang lebih lezat selain masakan yang simple dibuat. Menurut saya begitu, karena banyak sekali makanan sedap yang mengundang kita untuk menyantap bergunung-gunung nasi di piring terbuat dari bahan yang mudah didapat dan sederhana untuk dibuat. Contohnya resep seruit yang kali ini saya tampilkan. Resep ini dipraktekkan langsung oleh kakak ipar saya, Mas Moko,  kala saya berlibur ke Batam minggu lalu. Seruit yang merupakan sambal khas Lampung ini mungkin berbeda dengan yang akan anda temukan pada ratusan resep di internet. Rata-rata sambal seruit yang beredar disana menggunakan cabai merah dan terasi di dalam bahannya, namun percayalah versi yang ini super nendang rasanya.

 

Dimulai dari cerita kakak saya, Wulan, tentang sambal seruit dan ikan mas bakar yang selalu disajikan di rumah mertuanya kala mereka berkunjung ke Lampung, daerah asal kakak ipar saya. Dan promosi panas dari Rup, asisten rumah Wulan yang menggambarkan sambal seruit buatan Mas Moko sebagai makanan tersedap yang pernah dia cicipi (ehem, terkadang Rup memang agak lebay). Otak foodie saya yang selalu  bergairah dengan segala macam makanan dan resep tentu saja langsung 'on' dengan cepat."Ayo kita buat"! Teriak saya antusias. Jadilah di suatu sore yang cerah, sepulang kerja Wulan dan suaminya dari rumah sakit, kami menuju ke lantai tiga tempat di mana sebuah pemanggang gas bercokol disana. Sedikit aksi bakar-membakar dan ulek-mengulek, tiga puluh menit kemudian bibir kami semua mendesah kepedasan dan mulut pun mengeluarkan teriakan, "Mantap!" ^_^

Lek No, suami Rup, beraksi memanggang ikan dengan Ellan di belakangnya

Okeh lupakan sejenak mengenai sambal seruit, kali ini saya ingin sedikit bercerita tentang pengalaman liburan saat tahun baru kemarin di Batam. Bagi saya liburan tersebut merupakan kegiatan refreshing yang sangat mengesankan. Pada malam tahun baru, Wulan dan suaminya mengundang rekan-rekannya dari rumah sakit untuk menikmati pergantian tahun bersama di rumah. Nah sejak dua hari sebelumnya,  Rup telah pergi ke pasar ikan pada jam empat pagi untuk mendapatkan seafood dalam kondisi yang terbaik dan tersegar disana. Ikan, cumi-cumi dan udang kemudian lantas dibersihkan dan dibumbui dengan aneka bumbu bakar racikan Rup untuk kemudian kami masukkan freezer,  siap dipanggang saat pesta barbeque dilakukan.
Saya sendiri kemudian mendapatkan tugas mempersiapkan makanan lainnya. Mulai dari berkotak-kotak puding coklat dengan vla aroma lemon yang lezat, dua ekor ayam kodok yang saya eksekusi dalam waktu 3 jam dan dua piring besar ayam goreng bawang a la Batam yang menjadi makanan nge-trend disana. Kondisi yang kurang fit sejak dari Jakarta karena terlalu bersemangat berenang, membuat saya harus menelan beberapa Panadol dan menegak dua cangkir kopi sebagai doping untuk membantu otak menjadi sedikit lebih encer. Hasilnya tidak mengecewakan, sebelum pukul enam sore semua makanan sudah siap tersaji di meja makan siap untuk dibawa ke lantai 3 tempat dimana pesta tahun baru akan dilangsungkan.
 

Sekitar lebih dari tiga puluh orang hadir pada perayaan malam tahun baru yang kami adakan, semua makanan habis ludes diserbu. Ikan dan seafood pun sukses dipanggang dan disantap beramai-ramai. Tapi ada satu makanan yang sepertinya masih menjadi tanda tanya besar bagi para tamu yang hadir dan membuat mereka ragu-ragu untuk mengambilnya yaitu ayam kodok! Makanan ini memang jarang sekali ditemukan dan biasanya hanya hadir saat acara pesta pernikahan dan acara khusus lainnya. Dua ekor ayam kodok yang saya potong-potong dengan rapi dan disiram dengan saus coklat yang nendang ternyata membuat mereka kebingungan membedakan antara lauk ataukah puding sehingga memerlukan penjelasan dari Mas Moko sebagai guide wisata kuliner kali ini. Bagi anda yang berminat untuk mencoba membuat ayam kodok, silahkan klik link
disini ya untuk membaca postingan saya sebelumnya tentang masakan istimewa ini.
Saat perut telah kekenyangan dan jam menunjukkan angka dua belas malam, kembang api yang telah disiapkan oleh Wulan kemudian dinyalakan bersama ratusan kembang api lainnya yang terlihat dari lantai 3. Kami pun berteriak, tertawa dan memekik girang menyaksikan meriahnya loncatan api berwarna warni di langit Batam yang cerah. Badan panas demam, batuk yang menyerang dan hidung yang berair karena flu sejenak terlupakan dalam keceriaan tahun baru bersama teman-teman baru yang sebenarnya asing namun terasa dekat di hati. ^_^

Kembali ke makanan yang kali ini saya posting. Sambal seruit merupakan makanan khas Lampung yang umum disajikan di warung-warung makanan disana. Umumnya sambal ini disajikan bersama ikan mas atau ikan nila yang dibakar walau menurut saya disantap dengan ikan atau ayam goreng pun mantap. Membuatnya sangat mudah, semua bahan dan bumbu cukup anda haluskan. Bagian terunik adalah daun kemangi yang di masukkan ke dalam cobek berisi sambal dan ditumbuk kasar. Kolaborasi bawang, cabai, kencur dan kemangi yang harum memang luar biasa rasanya ditambah rasa yang segar dari air jeruk nipis dan asam Jawa. Seruit membuat anda sanggup menyantap bergunung-gunung nasi di piring tanpa rasa dosa.
Bagi saya kesempatan mengabadikan proses pembuatan seruit tidak bisa dilewatkan begitu saja. Kapan lagi saya bisa melihat dokter Moko, kakak ipar saya, mengulek cabai dan bawang dengan mengenakan celana pendek selutut. Memang terkadang menjadi penonton dan pencicip masakan ada nikmatnya juga, hanya berbekal sebuah kamera untuk melakukan aksi jepret sana dan sini, jari telunjuk untuk mencolek sambal dan komentar kala telah mencicipinya memang jauh, jauh lebih mudah dibandingkan Lek No, suami Rup yang sibuk membakar ikan di griller atau Mas Moko yang serius dengan aksi menghaluskan sambal seruitnya. Bersama keponakan saya, Ellan, yang sibuk berputar kesana kemari dengan ocehannya yang menggemaskan, sore itu berlalu dengan keceriaan dan perut yang puas kekenyangan. Ahh, saya sangat menikmatinya! ^_^
Berikut resep dan proses pembuatan seruit ya.

Membuat sambal seruit


Siapkan alat untuk menumbuk (cobek). Tumbuk kencur, bawang putih, cabai, daun jeruk dan garam hingga halus. Tambahkan daun kemangi, tumbuk daun kemangi kasar-kasar saja. Makin banyak kemangi rasanya akan semakin sedap.


Tambahkan air jeruk nipis dan air asam, aduk semua bahan sambal hingga rata. Cicipi rasanya. Tambahkan garam jika kurang asin. Sisihkan.
Membakar ikan


Siapkan ikan mas, siangi sisik dan isi perutnya cuci hingga bersih. Tambahkan 2 sendok makan garam dan perasan air jeruk nipis dari 1 buah jeruk. Remas-remas dan lumuri permukaan ikan dan rongga perutnya. Diamkan selama 15 menit dan cuci bersih.

Letakkan ikan di mangkuk besar, tuangkan bumbu halus untuk ikan. Lumuri permukaan ikan dan rongga perutnya dengan bumbu. Masukkan ikan ke dalam kantung plastik, ikat rapat dan masukkan ke kulkas minimal 2 jam.
Siapkan alat pemanggang atau griller, kita akan memanggang ikan hingga matang. Anda juga bisa menggunakan pan datar anti lengket diatas kompor, dan olesi permukaan pan dengan sedikit minyak.
Olesi permukaan alat pemanggang dengan minyak atau margarine untuk memastikan ikan tidak lengket di besi pemanggang. Tata ikan di atasnya, olesi permukaan ikan dengan bahan pengoles menggunakan kuas.  Panggang hingga satu sisi matang dan balikkan ikan kemudian panggang sisi lainnya hingga semua badan ikan matang dengan baik. Angkat dan letakkan ikan di wadah yang besar.


Tuangkan sambal yang telah dibuat sebelumnya ke wadah berisi ikan. Dengan menggunakan ulekan batu, tekan-tekan badan ikan hingga  sambal menutupi semua permukaan ikan. Sajikan ikan berlumur sambal seruit dengan segunung nasi panas.
Ahh, anda sedang program diet? Kali ini lupakan saja. Super duper yummy! ^_^

Even experienced anglers are still learning to fish

I’ve been fishing for over 60 years. I was taught the basics by my father and as I grew up, I fished. Of course it helped to have a fishing family and to live in an area where fishing was the major activity. But I didn’t learn to fish way back when and then was just suddenly able to fish. I learned over a long period of time. In fact, I’m still learning.

Learn the Basics

We can all learn the basics of how to fish, and that’s the perfect place to start. There are a number of articles and sites that will teach things like how to hold a rod and reel and how to rig your tackle.
But being able to catch fish is a lot more complicated than simply learning to fish! Anyone can put a hook and line in the water. It takes a lot more knowledge to put that hook and line in the right place at the right time with the right bait.

Practice Fishing before You Go

Yes, you read it right. You do need to practice if you plan to improve your fishing skills. And you need to practice before you ever get to the water.
  • Learn to Cast
    Learning to cast your
    rod and reel is the first and perhaps the best thing you can do to make your fishing more successful. For new anglers, a spinning rod and reel combination is by far the easiest outfit to masterTake your rod and reel into your yard. Tie a sinker or weight on the end of your line and start casting to some targets on the ground in your yard. Put a towel or a flower pot on the ground and practice casting to it. As you improve, move farther away from the target and practice some more. And finally when you have practiced and can actually put that sinker where you want it, practice some more!
  • Rigging
    An important part of your fishing is being able to
    rig your tackle. Things like using the right knot, the right hook, and putting your terminal tackle together properly will make an important difference. Knots have to hold; hooks have to be the right size. Too many times new anglers loose fish to a knot that came “untied”. Granny knots just won’t do!Go to our Knot Tying page and finds some knots and practice tying them! I use about three different knots in my fishing: the Palomar knot; the improved clinch knot; and, the double surgeon’s knot. There are other knots that I use, but these three will give every new angler some basics to learn. And, they won’t come untied when you are fighting a fish, assuming you have tied them properly! So, once again, the idea here is to practice, practice, practice! I use the .90 diameter yard trimmer string when I teach people how to tie a knot. It is big and bulky, but also easy for them to follow. Try some of your own trimmer string to practice your knots. When you have one down, go to your fishing line and practice with it.

Learn While You Fish

I learn something literally every time I fish. Having fished for so long, I don’t learn a lot about how to handle my equipment, but I do learn something about fishing on every trip. It may be what a particular fish did when striking my bait. Or, it may be something as simple as where a drop-off or ledge is located under the water. It doesn’t seem like we are learning, but on every trip, we are learning something that we did not know before. I realized a long time ago that every trip is a learning experience, so I began keeping track of things I learned.

Keep a Fishing Log

The best way to keep up with all that you learn while fishing is to keep a log. I used to take a note pad and jot down words to jog my memory when I got home. Then after all the fish are cleaned and the boat is put away, I would go in and begin adding to my fishing log: where did I fish; what was the tide; the weather; the water temperature; wind direction – literally everything I could remember I put in my log.
Now technology has helped me do all of this. I can record things on my smart phone while I’m fishing, and when I get home, my fishing log is on the computer. I can filter and search to come up with different scenarios. If I’m going tomorrow and I have the weather forecast, I can search my log for a similar day with similar weather and tides, and find out what I caught, when and where I caught it and what bait I used.

Bottom Line

Just like every day in our lives where we experience new things and learn from them, we do the same thing when we fish. Grab a fish the wrong way when you are removing the hook, and you are likely to get a fin in your hand. Odds are you won’t grab the fish that way again! Learning just took place. Make a point of keeping up with what you learn and make sure you practice the basics. Your fishing will soon turn to catching!

Fishing Tips For Absolute Beginners

Many people mistakenly think that it is very easy to learn fishing. They think that all they have to do is throw the fishing rod over the water and wait to catch some fish. However, when they start out they quickly realize fishing is definitely not an easy thing to master. It can be quite tricky and there are several things to learn. It takes time, patience, practice and dedication if you want to become an expert at this.
Do not get discouraged though. You can improve your technique if you show little interest. Below are some tips which can be very helpful for beginners, shortening their learning curve.
1. Many beginners make the mistake of purchasing the wrong equipment when they are starting out. They try to purchase the most advanced equipment which they can find. But in most cases, such equipment is not at all meant for beginners. Remember this - better equipment will not make you a better angler. In fact, it can make things more difficult when you are just starting out. You would be better off purchasing beginner's equipment, which is easier to use and can help you focus more on the basics of fishing.
2. Do not try to learn all on your own. Some people think they can learn a skill by reading a couple of books on the subject or watching some videos related to it. This is a wrong approach. The books, videos and articles can be helpful for people who already have a little bit of fishing experience and want to further increase their knowledge and skills. But these books or videos will not be much helpful for complete beginners. In fact, this approach will make your learning harder. If you know someone who has been fishing from many years, ask for their help and guidance. Go fishing with them a few times. You can learn much more quickly when you have a master than you can on your own.
3. If you are really serious about fishing then I suggest you to start a fishing journal where you record your progress. You can note down any new lessons, tips or techniques that you learn; any interesting experiences you have; mistakes made by you and what you learned from them etc. When writing about any experience try to include as many details as you can, like the exact location where you fished, the weather conditions, the bait you used, how many fish you caught etc.
