Bali Fishing Report – Jigging Ruby Snappers 4 march 2010
Written on March 4, 2010 – 3:13 pm | by Bali Fishing
Good people with Good Karma .
We went out this morning with mr Garry & Ian.
meet them at their villas this morning 7:30 at seminyak, the high tide will be at 11:00 am, so today we may have been lucky getting some fish.
Driving to the jetty for about 20 minutes, then check all gears, all aboard, and we cruised to the spot at 28-32 knots speed on our game fishing boat powered by twin 200HP yamaha engine.
at the spot.
the current is fast !! top current drifted our boat to trhe speed of 4.9 knots when we arrive, man !! this may not fishable yet !! we keep trying though. First and second bite only cut our line, we think its a barracuda and the dogtooth.
The first run, ain’t got any bite, we headed back to the Ruby snapper fishing spots, we know they are there !! fish can run but they will not bear temptation of our lures !!
after 15 minutes exercise on our floating gym, the first fish up. NOT A GAME FISH, it weight less than our 500 grams metal jig lure !! Garry land it and release it to fish another day. wise !!
We make turn to the spots again, this time captain John ( that is me 
) has marked where the current drifting the boat.
Captain John signal everyone, ok start fishing. Capt John confidence that it will has stikes now, the current has down to 2,9 – 3,2 knots, then he yelled, on the spots now …
125 meters deep, then 101 meters then strike !!!
Garry on it !! fish on !! fish on !! this run very strong and fast, i thought it was what we looking for, the mighty dogttoth tuna !! it was NOT ! hahahaa ahahhaa … it might be a ruby snapper – that beatiful fish.
then,
not even 2 minutes, second strike, now Ian on it !! this fish pulled our 80 pounds line hard, super confidencely both anglers fighting the fishes.
Then first one landed, a nice ruby at around 9 kilos in weight. the 2nd come up that Ian brought up, its the biggest ruby snapper the last 2 months, or i say this 2010 year. a nice good eating 14-15 kilos ruby snapper !! salute !!
The first one that Garry landed hooked at the eyes, so it was harder to land and fight more stronger.
Both fishes landed, both anglers exhausted
so then after a short break, we make another run, soon after we start jigging at 100 meters, Ian is the lucky person, alnding a nice 11.5 kilos ruby snapper, the 2nd he landed within an hour.
Now, its time for BINTANG beers celebration 
) a short break with Bintang beer,
Garry asked me,” Are we going to fish again or we headed back” i was surprised, this gentlemen understand the meaning of enough ( i salute you Sir Garry & Sir Ian).
I looked at the watch, it still early, we have plenty time to fish, the i decided, “lets do one more run and cruise back ”
we make another run then try to fish for 10 minutes, then we all headed back, arriving at the jetty even before 12 noon. so early. we cleaned up the ruby snapper, as both gentlemen anglers only want to bring one, because its enough to BBQ tonight – i insist them to bring the biggest or all of them, because de facto and de jure those are theirs.

Then after a bit ‘negotiation’, they finally agree to bring the medium one because it will be enough for all at the villa that they will have party toinight ( i salute you two gentlemen once again).
Today’s is the biggest ruby on jigging this year that our client got, its a good karma for good hearts anglers!
They deserved it. Not many asked us to return early because has enough catches. My respect to these gentlemen.
I look forward to have another opportunity to go out fishing with you guys again. This is a great and fun day.
