Deeper or darker colored baits should use light / fluorescent (iluminous).

Line: braided (PE), monofilament.
The use of large diameter PE which would cause friction with the flow to be great so that will add an additional burden and affect the action jig.

Use colorful PE (per 10m) easier to know the depth and easy to mark the strike zone.

Leader line

The goal:
Reduce the risk of drop out in case of friction on the rock or wall board.
Ease wireman / crew landed the fish.
Reducing the conductivity which occurs when the strike.

- Easily change the bait without the angler must cut the rope guide / leader line.
- Reduce feed melintirnya movement during play.

Belt
Can the trestle (such as for trolling), could also without bars. Adjusted for fishing rod holder is used.

Gloves
The use of gloves is helpful, especially during fight with the big fish or when your palms sweat. Reduce the risk because of slippery.

Location Jigging

Adjusted for the targeted fish. For example on the basic contours of the ocean that have a rocky, the target is grouper (grouper), Amberjack, ruby snapper, GT, dog tooth tuna.

By assumptions depth: 100m
From the base of 00-10 meters: Grouper, Snapper
From the base of 00-30 meters: Amberjack
From the base of 00-50 meters: Dogtooth tuna
From the base of 00-80 meters: Tenggiri, Barcud

For the Yellow fin tuna is usually on FADs floating or on a collection of dolphins. This technique is effective to 100 meters above sea level.

Finding the location of jigging and flow pattern.
In search jigging spot, depth sounder and GPS equipment is needed. If have found the suspected location, Tandes, sea mount memorikan immediately coordinates with the GPS position.
Start playing there with berhanyut ria until about 0.5 miles from that point. Often the target of the streets a bit far from home, especially Amberjack and Dog Tooth Tuna up to nearly 0.5 miles. Along the way runoff vessels in case of strike, immediately noted / recorded position, and so on. These points made the introduction of auxiliary points to the current location.
If the strike does not occur, try a little shifted from the main point while continuing to drifting. This technique allows us to know the flow patterns in these locations, because each change in flow, then the strike point will change.

Jigging time

Almost every time jigging can be done, depending on flow conditions at the site.

On day-9 to 12 months after the full moon or die normally when jigging can be longer because at that moment the tide is not too high.
Wind speed and direction also plays an important role, because it also affects how quickly the rate of drift boats.
The speed of the ship drifted 1-2 knots is ideal for jigging. Sometimes there are 2 to 3 flow in different directions made it difficult we jigging, although runoff is only 1-2 knots.

Slow Fast and Long Jigging Tehniques

Fast jerking, 1: 1, meaning that a one-time lift the rod offset by a one-time roll.
Slow jerking, 1: 2, meaning one-time jerking two times roll.

Special Moment interesting in the sky occurred on Thursday, June 16, 2011 early this morning: a total lunar eclipse. This phenomenon can be witnessed all over Indonesia. In Jakarta, for example, clear skies make the lunar eclipse visible with the naked eye.

Apart from enjoying the interesting natural phenomena, lunar eclipse is an opportunity to know the quality of the upper atmosphere (the stratosphere at an altitude above 5,000 meters from the earth's surface) which may have been 'contaminated' by the accumulation of volcanic dust.

The reason is, volcanic dust that reached the upper atmosphere, can last for years. For example, the eruption of Mount Pinatubo that occurred in 1991 and took hundreds of casualties, dust of vulcanic last up to two years.

According to Knopf, the quality of the atmosphere can be measured by looking at the brightness of the color line between the shadow of the earth with the light of the moon. When the color of moonlight looks bright and firm, then the quality of the atmosphere is better. But if the color is darker, the worse the quality of the atmosphere.

after the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815 which killed about 100 thousand inhabitants, a layer of earth's atmosphere when it is covered with volcanic ash until some time so that when the lunar eclipse, the line between the shadow of the earth with the light of the moon dark and diffuse.

The Famous Art of Java : Wayang Kulit

2011-06-10T10:46:00.001+07:00

Wayang kulit is a famous traditional form of puppetry in Indonesia, mainly in Java and Bali. ‘Wayang’ means ‘shadow’ in Javanese and ‘kulit’ means leather or skin. ‘Wayang’ has come to mean ‘puppet’ in Bahasa Indonesia, and is applied to the three forms of Javanese puppets: wayang kulit (shadow puppets), wayang klitik (flat wood puppets), and wayang golek (rod puppets).

The wayang kulit art form may be over 800 years old. The fact that the story is told using shadows is very important since moving shadows can be seen but never touched. One belief was that the souls of the ancestors were brought to life as shadows that provided advice and support. So wayang kulit performances have a spiritual and magical significance for Javanese and Balinese people. Everyone present at a shadow puppet performance is believed to be protected from evil influences while the play lasts. People will sponsor a performance to give thanks for someone recovering from illness.

The screen represents the white universe in which people live their lives. The bright side of the screen represents the material world in which we live. The darker side represents the mysterious after-life. The blencong or oil lamp was often in the shape of the Garuda bird, and represents the rays of the sun which give life to every living thing.

The puppets
The puppets are usually made from flattened buffalo hide with buffalo horn rods for support. The only moving parts are one or both arms, which may be hinged at the shoulder and elbow. The traditional cast of characters are intricately patterned and coloured. There are as many as 500 wayang kulit figures in an aristocratic set and as few as 100 in a village set. The manufacture of the puppets is very complicated and involves several different artisans.

Balinese puppets tend to be more realistic than those of Java. This may reflect religious differences between mainly Hindu Bali and mainly Muslim Java, as Islam forbids the depiction of the human form.

There may be several puppets for the one character. Depending on what the character is doing, the puppet will be shown with different clothing and with different colours to indicate its mood. Gold represents harmony, love of beauty and the finer things in life; dignity and calmness. Black represents more reflective, inward-looking characteristics, calmness and control; but sometimes anger and strength. Red represents physical strength, but a tempestuousness or fury. White represents flexible characters that are knowledgeable and full of life, as well as innocence, youth or purity.
