Are there any fisherman out there? I have been deep sea jigging a few times and landed some cracking Big Reds but i am looking for some good spots to beach fish.
I have seen a vid of someone landing a GT off one of the beaches but no idea which beach it was.
Anybody know any good beach spots on Bali?

I will soon be accused of being in the real estate business, since this will be the third time I have boosted West Bali in the past week. In order to honestly answer your question have to say that West Bali is a reasonable destination. It means surf casting as the method unless you choose to just cast with a substantial sinker and wait for the tide to come in.
It is truly unfortunate that we no longer have a personal message option on this site because an in-depth conversation between two fishermen is going to bore the Hell out of everyone else.
I have attempted similar questions such as yours in the past and never received interested replies.

In reflection I should add that about every 10 days I must evacuate from my hibernation and hazard a trip south for provisions. When that happens I would be happy to meet and discuss fishing with you. If you reply I will be able to suggest a meeting in Sanur and when.

Haha this wouold not be the first time I have bored other people with fishing talk i am sure!
So west Bali hey, what parts have you tried out? I have tried at Canggu but not much further north, did not have much luck as i was loosing rigs on submerged rocks alot.
I am not in Bali at the moment but should be back for a visit in December and then for a long spell from March, would be good to meet up and chat. We are looking into setting up a branch of our business there so if it goes well the move to Bali might be premanent - which gives me plenty of time to talk fishing and check out all the spots! :)
