Pemancingan Favourite di Bantar Kambing

Riwayat Putra Mandiri - bukan sebuah cerita legenda atau sinetron tapi adalah nama sebuah tempat Pemancingan yang cukup ternama di wilayah Bantar Kambing Cimulang Kabupaten Bogor



Di Pemancingan milik H. Iqro ini disiapkan dua pilihan kolam bagi pemancing, untuk yang suka mancing harian berada di kolam cukup luas (mirip sebuah danau) yang di buka pukul 07.00 sampai 16.00 WIB. Untuk itu kita membayar sebesar RP. 25.000,- dan dapat bebas memancing dengan joran lebih dari satu, asalkan cukup umpan yang disiapkan.

Berbagai jenis Ikan diturunkan pada pukul 10.00 WIB diantaranya, Gurame, Mas, Patin dan Bawal. Oleh karenanya variasi umpan perlu disiapkan, sebagai contoh : umpan pelet yang dicampur tongkol dan telur disiapkan untuk ikan Mas dan terkadang Bawal, umpan ulat pisang atau jangkrik perlu juga disiapkan untuk ikan Gurame lalu untuk Patin lebih suka roti tawar. Maka jangan heran jika melihat banyak orang menggunakan kail yang berderet untuk mensiasati umpan yang bervariasi.



Pilihan lain adalah kolam yang lebih kecil dengan sistem perjam yang dimulai pukul 13.00 sampai 17.00 WIB, dengan membayar Rp. 13.000,- perjam. Jenis ikannya pun bervariasi, hanya karena kolamnya tidak luas kemungkinan umpan dimakan pun cukup besar. Di kolam ini satu orang hanya menggunakan satu joran tidak boleh lebih namun kita boleh membawa asisten untuk memasang umpan atau melepaskan ikan yang tersangkut kail.

Buitenzorg Fishing

Bogor wilayah yang relatif masih hijau dan sejuk dimana masih mudah ditemui gemericik dan riak air yang mengaliri sungai dan sawah, masih ada surga di sana bagi para pemancing alam bebas karena ikan benter, gabus, lele dan mujair banyak ditemui malahan jika bernasib baik ada saja ikan mas yang mencaplok umpan.



Memancing di alam bebas diperlukan kejelian terutama dalam melihat keberadaan ikan yang ditandai dengan adanya prepesan (buih yang dikeluarkan ikan) bila si ikan diam atau gerakan yang ditandai dengan keruhnya air karena bila lapar ikan akan mengejar mangsanya yang berupa ikan kecil atau udang.

Khusus untuk ikan benter yang populasinya cukup banyak di alam bebas, diperlukan mata kail yang kecil (no.1) karena mulutnya yang kecil. Memancingnya cukup mengasikan karena ikan benter cenderung membawa lari umpan sehingga walaupun kecil ada perlawanan pada saat ditarik.

Umpan untuk ikan yang satu ini tidak sulit, bisa umpan jadi yang berwarna kuning ataupun anak rayap (Poa) atau bisa juga kita membuat dari ubi rebus yang dicampur mentega dan kuning telur... selamat mencoba (Dy).

Lure Terminology

There are many ways to lure in fish to your boat. Words like rigging, chumming, and luring come to mind. However, there are many varieties when it comes to lures and trying to decipher between all of them can be a confusing process. In addition, knowing when to “chum” as oppose to “lure” can be equally challenging when you are ready to catch the most fish that you can.

When deciding whether you should lure or chum, you should be aware of what type of fish you are trying to catch. Chum is a mess to make, distribute and to store so be sure that you are using it for the right reasons. Lures are used the majority of the time, but if you are dealing with fish who heavily use their sense of smell, lures may be a waste of time. As a general rule of thumb, chum is used in order to bring fish to the boat and lures are generally used for spot fishing.

When you decide to use a lure, what type do you choose? There are many different kinds of lures and they are used in different regions for a variety of purposes. If you learn the basics then you will not have to look like a novice by reading the back of the package will perusing the aisles in the stores.

A lure is defined as an object, often designed to resemble a fish’s prey, and they usually come equipped with one or more hooks that are used to catch fish. You will attach a lure to the end of your fishing line and throw it out into the water until a fish takes a bite. The one exception to the rule is the fly lure, which is used to float on the water’s surface mimicking the movement of an insect. You can also troll lure behind a boat to create the appearance of a living animal in the water. Some of the different types of lures are classified as jigs, wobblers, spinner, spoon lures, plugs, fly lures, and worms.

Jigs are made of weighted metal heads and a tail that is made from animal hair, soft plastic, feathers, or rubber. A minnow can sometimes to be added or a piece of meat can be attached to the end of the hook. Jigs can be used for almost any kind of saltwater or freshwater fishing.

A spoon is a metal lure that looks similar to a bait fish. These lures are meant to be cast or to be trolled behind a moving vessel. The plastic belts are the most commonly thought of baits. They are the plastic worms that are sometimes scented in order to attract more fish. The plastic belts can be used with or without a weight, but a jig head, spinner, or a spinner bait always accompanies them.

Plugs are made from plastic or wood and can be used on top of the water. There is a separate category of plugs called diving plugs that are designed to plunge into a certain depth of the water.

The spinners have blades that spin around a wire shaft, and they are made of plastic or animal hair. The spinner baits are the lures with more than one blade that spin around a safety shaft. They are characterized by ‘skirts’, which are made of animal hair, vinyl, rubber, and other materials.

Lastly are the poppers and flies. These baits are primarily used for panfish, trout, and bass. Fly-tying is a harder concept to learn, making these lures unique.

Lures are tested and decided upon by the individual. Many lures are determined to be useful by trying them out time and time again. When you become comfortable with a certain type of lure, you will be able to expand on its possibilities, making it more individualized for your fishing purposes.

Fishing Accessories

For some people, fishing is a pastime. For others among us, it is a serious sport. However you perceive it, fishing is enjoyable when you’ve got the proper accessories to use. Here is a list of some considerations to think over.

Often there is a nice spot to fish from the shore of a pond, lake, stream or river. Other times, you will need to consider what kind of transportation you will need to get over the water. The canoe is the oldest craft. It is the traditional vehicle of the American Indian and has great traditional value, but that does not mean it is the best kind of water transportation available. A canoe can be tippy at the best of times and especially hard to handle in the wind but paddling or drifting along makes it easy to approach good spots to fish undetected.

A small rowboat without a motor is considered the best kind of boat to use since you can stand up in it to cast. Although it is best to row to the spot where you intend to fish, a small trolling motor is handy for travelling some distances. Larger pleasure boats with outboards are also recommended, but a boat with high sides is best as big lakes and broad rivers are prone to winds that can whip up big waves.

You will also need to pick out some quality footwear. This becomes especially important if you are going to fish by the side of a lake. Hip boots are the most practical for this as they can be rolled down if you’re not wading. While hip boots can also be used for stream wading, chest or hip waders are traditionally best here. When choosing chest or hip-wader boots, select ones that have a loose fit. Having waders that are too tight could restrict leg motion and undue stress on the seams could leave you wet.

The proper jacket is also a necessity. Jackets come in two basic lengths: Long and short. The long style is designed for fishing from a boat or wading in shallow water. If you are planning to use chest waders, it is recommended you use a short jacket since the bottom of a long jacket would drag in the water. You should select a jacket with generous pockets for carrying lure boxes and other accessories. A hat with a visor is another good idea because you will have your eyes on the water and need some kind of shade.

The avid angler has three stashes of lure and tackle-box containers. The first stash is for the home stockpile, the second and larger one for the boat, and a third stash is for the car. That way, you will always be covered in the event of a loss or other mishap. It is a good idea to buy a large supply at the beginning of the season too so you will have lots on hand, especially if you like to fish at night.

With the right fishing accessories and gear, you can turn your fishing experience into a better one. The last thing you want when the time for that perfect catch nears is to realize you are missing an important piece of equipment. Preparedness is among the most important aspects of fishing, so make sure that you have all of the gear you need to have the best experience of your life.

Sekilas tentang mancing

Memancing bagi orang yang tidak suka adalah suatu hal yang membosankan malah dianggap kurang kerjaan, namun lain halnya bagi yang suka atau hobby, memancing merupakan seni dan memiliki tantangan tersendiri untuk mensiasati agar ikan melahap umpan yang terpasang dikail. Nilai seninya adalah pada saat pelampung tenggelam dan menarik ikan yang telah tersangkut di kail.

Rasa Kecewa dan Penasaran bila ikan yang telah ditarik ternyata bisa melepaskan diri, putusnya tali pancing (senar) juga bisa saja terjadi bila ikan yang didapat besar dan bergigi tajam contohnya seperti Bawal air tawar karena masih kerabat dengan Piranha oleh karenanya untuk memancingnya perlu disiasati dengan manggunakan neckline yaitu senar yang dilapisi kawat.

Didaerah yang masih bernuansa pedesaan banyak ditemukan kolam pemancingan malah terkadang di parit pinggiran sawahpun ada saja ikan yang dapat dipancing walaupun kecil, kalau beruntung bias dapat ikan gabus atau lele dengan ukuran yang lumayan.

Dengan peralatan yang sederhana yang terdiri dari joran bambu senar dan kail, orang-orang di perkampungan (boleh dibilang amatir) biasa memancing di kali/sungai dan danau tanpa memerlukan modal yang besar, namun semua itu indah bila dilakukan dengan senang hati. (Dy)
