What is it all about?
This is a land based adventure. For the most part casting and spinning from virgin beaches and exposed reefs. This exclusive adventure is limited to 4 guests per month (generally 2 or 3 guests per trip) which enhances this remote fishing experience while ensuring quality fishing. This fishing adventure takes place in a remote corner of East Java Indonesia. The logistics that go into making this adventure comfortable and safe are as complicated as any expedition into some of the most remote corners of the world.
Electricity, endless amounts of hot fresh water and toilets are left behind once you leave the base camp. Due to the isolated location and the fact that porters are used to carry in supplies, your accommodations become a quality backcountry campsite for the days you fish. However, the backcountry campsite is hardly roughing it! Enjoy a bottle of fine red wine, smoked Salmon and a selection of cheeses at the end of the day. Settle your appetite with the catch of the day, complimented by international side dishes. Gaze at the Southern Cross and Milky Way, or watch a bon fire while reflecting on the day's experience. Retire to your private tent to ensure a comfortable nights sleep, serenaded by the sounds of the surf, and untamed cacophony of the jungle. This is the lifestyle we all dream of as outdoorsmen. You live and fish the dreams you had since you were young. Jungle Ulua Fishing Adventures make it happen in Style!
Precaution statement:
This is an adventure into relatively untouched jungle. You are out there. It is not for the timid or inexperienced fisherman. We will get a feeling for abilities and fitness level before we accept guests on this adventure. Safety is always a prime consideration everyday we guide you to the fish; however, conditions can go from placid to extreme on a daily basis. Beginners or unfit individuals are discouraged. If you do not feel physically fit to walk long stretches (up to 1 hour) of prime fishing grounds, this may not be the adventure for you.
Recommended Equipment to bring:
-
Reels
At least 2 dependable spinning reels are a must with back-up line or extra spools. We use Penn 7500, 8500, and 9500SS reels, and recommend the same or similar. Lighter gear is challenging and fun; however, there are some BIG BOYS out where you will be fishing and smaller reels can be spooled immediately, good fun!
-
Lines:
Mono lines 25 – 50lb.
New high tech fiber lines 30 – 50lb recommended for strength, abrasion resistance, and distance casting.
We use Berkeley Fireline 25 – 50lb.
Mono lines less than 25lb not recommended
-
Lures:
An ample assortment of casting lures with enough weight to get enough distance depending on the line weight you are using (2 - 5 ounces). Wooden poppers of all sorts, spoons, metal lures with strong treble hooks. Anything that skips along the surface works well here. Mark White ceramic plugs work extremely well here and are available to our guests at discount prices. Check his website under www.markwhitelures.com .
