Mukah Light Slow Fall Jigging

Mukah is a small town in Sarawak, about 2 hours drive from Sibu. Having a population of less than 300,000 everyone seems to know each other here. The waters off Mukah are generally not deep, ranging from 15 to 25 meters, making it very suitable for micro jigging and light slow fall jigging. Fred Goh recently returned to Mukah’s reefs along with Lu Osman, Dominic and Amelia Ting, this time specifically targeting fish with Gomoku Koika slow fall jigs. Here’s his catch report.

Beautiful sunrise.

Silver Trevally are common catches, they respond to both fast and slow jigging style.

GT do react well to slow jigging style as what Lu Osman has proven on the KOIKA 40g

Dominic with a hard fighting Golden Trevelly on the Super Gomoku 40g DF3.

Pig face bream on the Gomoku KOIKA 30g Green Sardine

Lu Osman delighted with his first ever Ebek on the Gomoku KOIKA 40g

Another Coral Trout, this time on the UVSB colour instead.

Groupers are a regular catch here.

No shortage of Groupers this size.

Yummy moments when you get to eat your own catch after a great day out at sea.

Delightful!

Freshly-steamed fish.

What a way to end the day!
