Pada tanggal 29-31 Mei & 5-7 Juni, saya mendapat keberuntungan untuk mengunjungi salah satu suaka margasatwa di Pulau Jawa yang juga merupakan salah satu World Heritage. Perjalanan yang pertama saya diajak oleh MK Fishing Tour yang dimotori oleh Om Gino 7 mas Anto. Mereka adalah para pemancing yang memiliki obsesi di masa pensiunnya memilih untuk mancing dan mancing dan mancing, hehehehe... oleh karena itu mereka telah merintis dan membesarkan usaha sebagai operator wisata mancing yang masih sangat jarang di Indonesia.
It was my first time visiting Ujung Kulon and also my first to go Fishing, especially sport fishing. My fishing experience only happen in my childhood fishing small mujaer at small river at my mom's hometown.
We arrive at Sumur (last village at Ujung Kulon) by dawn and refresh ourselves while the crew loading all stuff and equipment to the boat that will take us enjoy Ujung Kulon for two days and one night. At six in the morning we all aboard the boat and headed to the sea with the morning breeze and the sunrise. We go fishing directly along the way to Pulau Peucang as we will spend the night there. We go to Tj. Senini, Tj. Layar, Karang Copong, etc to do Popping (one of the sport fishing technic). This sport fishing things was new for me, though my boyfriend already give me a bundance story and photo and video about this, but actually doing it was my first. And after awhile I actually enjoy it. It was nothing like fishing I’ve known before. It's a sport alright because you have to throw the rod and reel over & over and it was quite heavy and I have to train my selves over and over to do it right.
They also introduce me with Catch & Release in the world of Fishing. The idea was to release the fish after we catch it. It's related to have a sustainable Fishing Tourism and to protect the fish from over fishing. I definitely like the idea, as I also not really like to have this 50cm length fish on my dish. It's just not my kind of cuisine.
After having lunch on board with ABK cooking meals that really taste Delicious. It's not just because the scenery and the place and the fact that I was starving. The meals is really was delicious. Two thumbs up for the cook (this actually becoming an issue for me, as my boyfriend give the credit for the cook more than he give for me, hahaha...), well, that's fine as I'm not much of a cook my selves). Well, after having lunch we docking by noon at Peucang Island to have the night rest. Our bodies were aching after having so much throwing at Popping but our hearts were content. We can't wait the morning to give our best at all the GT (giant trevally fish) at Ujung Kulon.
The first journey at the end of May was MK internal Fishing Training. It was more personal and I really enjoy the whole trip. I also have the chance to visit Kr. Jajar, the favorite spot to do Popping. The wave is high enough for me. I barely could stand on my feet. The funny part is all my friends are calmly doing popping as I try my best just to stand on my feet. It was iritating for me... But, the view is spectacular as I saw line of magnificent rocks along the strait. It has hypnotic effect for me.
The Second trip was My company trip with few clients. It was a bit crowded but still enjoyable for me.
Ujung kulon adalah salah satu tempat yang sudah lama ingin aku datangi, tetapi masih belum mendapatkan kesempatan. Ketika kesempatan itu datang tidak hanya sekali tapi langsung 2 kali berturut-turut. Wow!! Betapa beruntungnya aku.
Ujung Kulon bukan hanya tempat untuk Wisata Mancing tetapi sebetulnya dia sudah sangat dikenal untuk Wisata ekologi nya dimana disinilah tempat Badak yang paling dilindungi di dunia yaitu Badak Bercula satu berada. Kita bisa trekking, swimming, snorkling, diving dan aktivitas lainnya yang dapat kita lakukan. Aku tidak habis-habisnya mengucapkan syukur bahwa Ujung Kulon masih bisa bertahan dan terawat relatif baik dibanding tempat-tempat wisata alam lainnya yang banyak sekali tidak bis abertahan karena ketidak pedulian manusia.
Saya mendengar bahwa ikan di perairan Ujung Kulon tidak lagi sebanyak 5-10 tahun yang lalu. Semoga menjadi tanggung jawab kita semua untuk tetap menjaganya. Karena saya dan pasti kita semua ingin agar anak cucu kita masih dapat menikmatinya seperti kita. It was definitely dangerously beautiful Ujung kulon, a piece of paradise at the western end of Java.
