To all you fishermen, please use this forum to discuss anything fish related.
If you want to organise a trip, talk about what you caught, where you have been or provide any tips then feel free to write away.

Joe,
Call into Sai Kung if you ever have time away from Malaysia.
We got a range of saltwater fishing, (flys), reservoir fishing and offshore trolling to suit most needs, and swap stories over a beer or two.

Re:Offshore Fishing

Hi Charlie,

This is not related to offshore fishing however it is related to fishing....I'm thinking of buying a speedboat, the ones that the local fishermen use, the blue colour one that is commonly seen around Hong Kong. Would you happen to know where I could get one, either new or secondhand...also would be good to know the price...I'm planning on getting one to get around sai kung to go fishing...

Appreciate any help.

Cheers,

Mike....

Re:Offshore Fishing

Mike,
Plenty of them around but careful of the licensing procedure.
Those sampans are actually only used for Fish farms with a max capacity of 4 pax and HP of 15, but this is all a grey area under marine dept policy.
I can ask around for you but depends on what size engine you want and budget...u should check out Sai Kung waterfront and some of the fish farms, don't expect them to be of high integrity and I would be cautious in going too far out or even around the headland - big seas and steep cliffs make for messy rescues. Another broker able to help you would be Terry Fung from Cyclone Runners - do a google check and give him a call.

Charlie,

Hope all is well. Quick? How much do you charge to go to the Oil Rig? Also how long would it take to get there?

Look forward to your reply.

Cheers,

Re:Offshore Fishing

Hi Nemo:

Good to have you here; you planning on heading over, maybe with some sea fishing tackle?

Not sure if Charlie'll divulge a trade secret or two; but can see fishermen on places like rocks by Po Toi (looks like they are left there by boat, and presumably collected later).

Re:Offshore Fishing

Nemo,
You might even try some flyfishing on the reservoirs (permit required) or even off some of the public piers in estuarine areas.

Re:Offshore Fishing

Hi everyone,

I was recently sitting on a friends new boat (47ft pleasure yacht) having a drink and the discussion of getting out of HK for a few days and doing some fishing popped up.

We are both relative amatures to the deepsea stuff but would like to hear from people about what kit would be needed where to go and what to do. We wouldn't really mind about not catching anything as it is mearly an excuse to go exploring, but it would be nice Smile

Hope someone can help point us in the right direction as I have always wanted to do this in Hong Kong after being told that it was possible a few years back!!

Thanks again.

Tam
