Today we were out with mr ken and kurt, they are a very keen sportfisherman. as our plan we will be jigging for Dogtooth tunas and ruby snapper.
Bali Jigging for Ruby snapper, February2010
As mr Kurt instructed to pick up at lembongan island at the villa, we leaving the port as early as possible, arriving at lembongan island at the beach and we manage to pickup these gentlemen in front of their staying villa. So they were just walk down the steps to the water and into our boat.
all aboard, then we cruise to the fishing spots at 30 knots speed, faster we reach the spots that mean more time for jigging.
around 20 minutes later we arrived at the first spot. All gear was set before we left port and we double check the knots, swivels, split rings, hooks connection, jig assist, all are OK, we are good to jig !!
All good to go, we are OK to jig !!
both lowered down to the seabed at around 105 meters as readt on the sounder screen, start playing the 500 grams lure, not even 5 minutes, and the first bite happened.
Ken is the first lucky fisherman onboard, start reel in the braid line and in 3 minutes, the medium ruby snapper surfaced.
few minutes later, after the photo session 
we start fishing again, this time in between 98 meters to 115 meters depth. now seems the Kurt tuirn for fighting the fish, he was on stella 10.000SW reel and shimano jigwrex rods, seems easy with not much struggle to fisht the fish. this one seems bigger snapper, when fish shown under the water seems like a 10 kilos ruby snapper, it is 11 kilos one. Great catch !!
without not many wait, they start jigging again, now again Kurt has the bite, the rod bent only slightly, Kurt reel directly from the reel without pumping the rod. seems easy. we cant guest what fish it will be, we only know its a small one.
The fish surfaced, turn to be a tiny coral trout – a 200 grams fish bite a 500 grams jig !!
then we decided to trolling time for take rest and waiting the current and tide to be perfect. few troll round the rock, the bite aint happened. then last hour we decided to jig again.
this time is not as easy as early morning, the current has changed direction, sometimes we had to start to repositioning the boat and the lure. but all the hard works paid !!
Kurt got another bite !! a big one , bigger than before, rod and the stella reel now is screaminggg, running the line. Kurt start to fight back, slowly but sure and some back pain 
were happened.
“It’s a Johny’s Gym’ you got fish and tanned skin and exercise in a same price !!”
but Kurt still fighting the fish, when surfaced, we see a big ruby snapper around 13 kilos that was bite kurt’s metal jig lure.
Then he headed back to lembongan with 3 ruby snappers, 1 tiny coral trout and a lot of fun.
