Professional Sport Fishing: Gili Kondo, Gili Bidara & Gili Petagan Expedition
Experience the ultimate deep-sea battle in the pristine eastern waters of Lombok! Combined with our expertise in mountain trekking, Tutik Rinjani Trekker offers top-tier sport fishing expeditions tailored for passion-driven anglers, targeting the prolific waters around Gili Kondo, Gili Bidara, and Gili Petagan.
This region features strong currents from the Alas Strait, deep underwater drop-offs, and vibrant coral structures surrounding uninhabited islands. It serves as a prime hunting ground for Giant Trevally (GT), Dogtooth Tuna, Spanish Mackerel, Barracuda, Giant Grouper, and Red Snapper.
Targeted Fishing Techniques
-
Popping (Topwater Action): Cast heavy surface lures around the shallow reefs of Gili Kondo and the outer drop-offs of Gili Bidara to trigger explosive surface strikes from aggressive Giant Trevally (GT) and Mackerel.
-
Vertical Jigging (Deep Sea): Work metal jigs through the deep currents of the Alas Strait (60m–150m depth) to target heavy-hitting Dogtooth Tuna, trophy Groupers, and Red Snappers.
-
Trolling (Open Water Tracking): Drag artificial lures along the current lines surrounding Gili Petagan’s coastal mangrove system to hook fast-swimming pelagics like Spanish Mackerel, Barracuda, and Mahi-Mahi.
