new fishing rules

The fishing lures are attached at the end of the rod, from the hook, and they can come in all sizes, shapes or colors, depending on the type of fish it is meant to catch. They are designed to attract fish, resembling their natural prey in movement and appearance. If wrongly placed they can have the opposite effect: scare the fish away.
The rate of catching fish decreases greatly without a fishing lure. They hugely varied from the classic rubber worm to glowing in the dark lures to chameleonic little high tech creatures. The hook (or hooks – some have 3) is/are close to the lure so that the fish will bite it and get stuck. That’s the moment when the fisher pulls his rod and brings the catch to the surface. Experienced fishermen will cast and pull the rod, sinking the lure to imitate the act of swimming. This way it convinces the fish to approach and bite the artificial prey.
Fishing wobblers 2008
The many types of fishing lure are: jig, wobblers, spoon lures, fly lures, trout and bass worms, spinnerbait and many more.
A jig creates a vertical motion and is used in saltwater and freshwater. The classic one has a round head but they can vary as far as the imagination goes. What matters is that they attract fish. The body is made of rubber or silicone. This lure is the most common among fishermen for catching smallmouth or large mouth bass.
New wobbler 2008
A wobbler (or a plug) is made of wood or plastic, it has a thin plastic bib attached to the front of the body, sometimes adjustable to move or dive differently. This lure has 2 or sometimes 3 hooks. The bib will render the lure’s depth when diving. Those which have no bib will consequently float on the surface.
As the name suggests, the spoon lure has the shape of a spoon and has the capacity of attracting the fish by reflecting light. It is usually made of a shinny metal, with a concave shape. Just like a plug it can have a treble hook. Fishermen usually cast the rod farther than the point where they think the fish swims, and then they randomly retrieve the lure. Also, various colours are believed to increase the chance of catching fish.
Fly fishing lures or simply flies are made of feathers, thin threads or even fur, sometimes with beads, lead or other fabrics attached to make it more „playful”. Trained fishermen can tie their own fly fishing lure by rolling feather or fur around the hook to hide from the fish. Fly lures are of 5 types: wet fly, dry fly, nymph, terrestrial and streamer. Some of them float on the water and others can submerge.
For those who choose to fish at night, a new range of fishing lures have been created. They glow in the dark, under the water and they come in all models mentioned before. You can colour them yourself or you can bring along a portable flash light to charge the fishing lures.

fishing hook

A fish hook is a device for catching fish either by impaling them in the mouth or, more rarely, by snagging the body of the fish. Fish hooks have been employed for centuries by fishermen to catch fresh and saltwater fish. In 2005, the fish hook was chosen by Forbes as one of the top twenty tools in the history of man.[1] Fish hooks are normally attached to some form of line or lure device which connects the caught fish to the fisherman. There is an enormous variety of fish hooks in the world of fishing. Sizes, designs, shapes, and materials are all variable depending on the intended purpose of the fish hook. Fish hooks are manufactured for a range of purposes from general fishing to extremely limited and specialized applications. Fish hooks are designed to hold various types of artificial, processed, dead or live baits (bait fishing); to act as the foundation for artificial representations of fish prey (fly fishing); or to be attached to or integrated into other devices that represent fish prey

The Beauty of Wakatobi National Park Spot Fishing

Theodoras boat is no longer open it's service on Makassar water. Therefore, Takabakang, Takarewataya and surrounding service have been closed permanently, the fish depleted due to too many illegal fishing activities like blasting and cyanide poisonning. Too bad...!

We moved Theodoras boat to a new fishing ground where we are considered to be the 1st and the only fishing operator on that area, named Wakatobi National Park. This place is located South to Southeast Sulawesi (Celebes) about 100nmiles away from Kendari, the capital city of Southeast Sulawesi province. Luckily the whole area is well protected by the local government and some NGOs like WWF and TNC. It's really2 a beautiful place, specially with it's diversity of marine lives which is the number one in the world. Wakatobi is the centre of the famous World Coral Triangle consists of many Southeast Asian countries like Philippines, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
