Desaru on April Fool's Day

My first trip back to Desaru since 2015. Captain Badol is back and has a new boat. Jith and i drove up for a day of casting and slow pitch jigging. The elements, however had other plans. After a difficult day of fishing, we had a small but sizable haul enough to cure the itch.

We decided to stay over at the newly opened Tiara resort before driving back the next day. The rooms were clean and the grounds were patrolled frequently by the staff. It cost us RM220 for a twin sharing room.

Captain Badol is currently driving this boat that fits 7 anglers

We always drop by here for some food in the morning

Breakfast

a variety of food to choose from for lunch. We went with nasi goreng ayam

Not much anglers on weekdays

Low tide meant we had to go some way to launch the boat

Setting off

Captain struck first blood with this 18lb Spanish Mackerel on the Zerek Cavalla
