Kelong, Kelong!

In Singlish, 'kelong' is used as an adjective to mean cheating or corruption (especially in competitions like soccer matches). To us anglers however, it usually refers to what it means originally - a wooden structure built on the sea for commercial rearing of fish.

The 4 kelongs in Sibu, Malaysia have long since ceased their commercial rearing of fish. Now, they are opened to anglers like us who can enjoy the experience of fishing on the sea, not from a rocky boat, but from a relatively stable structure. These kelongs are not really very far from shore, but the bait fish that enjoy the shelter of these structures do attract biggies from the area. It is not uncommon to get fish around the 1 kg mark, and records will show spectacular catches of up to 30 over kg!

So, while waiting for our CR, take a look at our past catches!
