ELFY 1 - The Conqueror of Tukun Perak

This is my father's boat 60 foot long built in the year 1995... Handcrafted by Mr. Cha Bo in Butterworth Penang using the best of woods such as 'Cengal Emas'... It was named ELFY 1 after my son's name, AHMAD ELFY HAFIEZAL.. my father's first Grand Son... After a decade of running charters to Tukun Perak among other destinations, this boat is no more within our sight.. Mismanagement by 'trusted peoples' had crippled the operation. The boat is believed to be in Pak Bara, Thailand now...

Popping in the Red Sea...

Saudi Arabia is blessed with Red Sea that is rich with a lot of fish,... Yet it is rather unexplored... You can go popping for Trevally at any time of the day and you will be almost guaranteed to come home not empty handed.

Last January, I had tried my luck popping, after it rained on our barbecue camp some 100km away from Jeddah.. it was Sothward near Qattan... After 30 minutes I caught one and fish started swarming my area, I had to stop because I just carried my rod without fish landing net or gaft.. it was just an experiment popping while raving the sea water waist high some 250 m ashore.. I will surely returns to the spot. Insha Allah.

Assalamu'alaikum and Hello!
