Kuala Rompin Malaysia - The Jetty

Kuala Rompin Malaysia - The Jetty

By : chuangsp@gmail.com


The sailfish fishing jetty from where you depart to the sailfish spot is not far from the Kuala Rompin town.

The Jetty is situated between Lanjut Beach & Golf Resort (Serai At Lanjut - Please refer tripadvisor for rating under the name of ketutubud) and the Kuala Rompin Town. And its about 1km away from the main road.

Kuala Rompin is a small town situated along the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Assessing to Kuala Rompin is either from Singapore airport or Kuala Lumpur Internationa Airport if you are arriving outside Malaysia. Travelling is almost 4 hours from either of these two airport in a luxury MPV.

There are two restaurants besides the jetty one serve chinese and non-chinese food. Of course there are other restaurants besides these two at Kuala Rompin Town. Fishes that besides sailfish that can be bring on shore can be cooked by any restaurants in Kuala Rompin.

The jetty is make of mangrove woods tree (which is traditional way of making jetty in Kuala Rompin) and its can last a long times.

The Jetty is unlike any luxury marina that you seen round the world. Its just not more than a place for those roughly 30 boats to be parked and tie together.

Evening around18:00 is the most busier times at the jetty when all the sailfish boats are back. When everything are being off load from the boat by those anglers, its the turn for the boatman to clean up their boat in preparation for different group day after. Whereas anglers are busy counting the catch (besides sailfish which is catch and release) and watching them before its being brought to a restaurant near by or back home.

There are also a role of chalets with attached bathroom besides the jetty. Those chalets belong to the owner of the chinese restaurant.

Those who stays at the chalets would usually hang around and have their dinner and beer around the restaurant till times go to bed. They are many from different part of the globe that converge at this Asia Capital Of Sailfish and share among each other their angling experience before they call it a night.

Sailfish Putting Kuala Rompin Malaysia Top Of The World

Sailfish Putting Kuala Rompin Malaysia Top Of The World

By : chuangsp@gmail.com

Having hailed from Kuala Rompin, and spent many years growing up there, and my exposure to how fishing is down in other countries, ie Australia, its always give me theknowledge to help out whatever I can to promote and preserved this home town of my mine to the outside world.

A Sailfish landmark in the middle of Kuala Rompin Town

Malaysian, as well other nationalities, are seldom beig exposed to the warm and beauty of what Kuala Rompin can offers. Kuala Rompin is never being promoted in the same manner as Cameron Highland, Genting Highland or Gunung Tahan Forest Reserve. Its has been sidelined by the federal and state government for such a long times of its capability to lure tourists and by passers.

Until sometimes ago some fisher man accidentally found out about it’s a breeding, feeding  ground and half way home for abandon of sail Fish from Feb – Nov, during the migration season from the North hemisphere to the south.

With that Kuala Rompin slowly but steady becomes the focal points of Sail/Bill Anglers around the world, and turn it into a jewel and becomes the Asia Capital Of Sailfish, with that comes along the support industry, with directly and indirectly contributed to the back bone of economy in Kuala Rompin, which used to depend largely on small skills fishing and farming.

Sailfish has put Kuala Rompin on to the world map, hence it’s not an option but to preserve the whole eco-system and responsible fishing be strictly enforced to ensure survival those fish and sustainable sailfish fishing. From my conversation with some fishermen, apparently some sail fish ended up inside those fishing net and be make as fertilizer (as no one really eat sailfish, fortunately).

Releasing Sailfish not in correct manner also the fish caused the fish drawn without sufficiently having enough water pass through the lung, likewise holding the fish out of water for too long. Our boatman wi teach everyone the correct way of releasing.

Sailfish is not only the fishes could be found in Kuala Rompin, obviously no other fishes could beat the thrilled and fighting spirit of Sailfish. Other fishes (eatable) that could be found around the sea are Parrot, grouper, amberjack, barracuda and others. All the Sailfish boat operators there would be able to provide exact fishes name and spots, for you to bring back some fishes for Barbeque, but Sail/Bill fish is absolutely and definitely no, it’s protected creature. So remember, its still many other fishes besides sailfish.
