 Pulau sembilan
one sure sign of a good fishing sport is to look out for the
anchovies. Where there are lots of them, there is certainly plenty
of fish around as it is mother nature's rule for the big fishes to
feed on the smaller ones. One spot off the coast of perak which
teems with anchovies is the waters near pulau sembilan, a group of
nine islands about an hour and a half boat ride off the south-west
of pangkor. Naturally, all these add up to make pulau sembilan
something of an angler's paradise. A perfect spot to head to for
those with fishing on their minds and also the most likely spot t
land a whopper or two with every cast of the line. |
