Semporna, Sabah: Two Big Fish Day
Semporna, Sabah: Two Big Fish Day
October 15, 2025
What an unforgettable offshore day in Semporna! We headed out with great conditions — steady seas, good visibility, and perfect water for working both reef structure and open areas. The plan was to target quality reef fish first, then switch to jigging for hard fighters later in the day — and it worked perfectly. The first highlight was a beautiful Longnose Emperor. The bite was strong and the fish immediately stayed deep, pulling heavy with solid power and stubborn head shakes. It tried hard to get back into the reef, making the fight technical and exciting. With steady pressure and good teamwork on board, we managed to bring this thick, trophy-sized Emperor safely to the boat. After that, we moved on to jigging — and the action got even more intense. A sudden aggressive strike loaded up the rod instantly, followed by unstoppable runs. This was pure GT power! The Giant Trevally fought hard from start to finish, showing exactly why it’s one of the most respected sport fish in the world. Landing two trophy species in one trip — a Longnose Emperor and a GT — made this day truly special. Semporna continues to prove it has world-class offshore fishing, with both quality reef species and serious big-fish potential. If you want an authentic offshore fishing adventure with a real chance at trophy catches, Semporna is the place to be! Fish species: Giant Trevally (GT) Longnose Emperor (Sweetlip Emperor)

Listen to the crew. Local boatmen know the water. Where to drop, when to jig, when to wait—this is the difference between zero and a full box.
