Fishing in Malaysia
The Prize
Sailfish work in packs hunting these waters for bait schools and their aggressive feeding patterns offer anglers numerous sport fishing opportunities. Rompin offers anglers the option of fishing for sails using various techniques including traditional trolling, live baiting, lure and popper casting. For fly anglers the sailfish can be so thick that teasing fish to the back of the boat becomes second fiddle to simply casting into the schools. These warm, calm waters off the coast of Kuala Rompin are arguably one of the best destinations for anglers targeting these billfish.
