Tukad Daya

Tukad Daya, in Bali, Indonesia, is a river where current dictates almost everything. Rocks, undercut banks, and fallen timber are the obvious targets, but the productive water at Tukad Daya is often the seam between two current speeds — that's where fish wait for food to drift past. Match the size of your bait or lure to whatever insects, baitfish, or crayfish you can see in the water.

Fishing Techniques

• For Giant trevally

  When fishing for GTs, always use heavy tackle and strong leaders to withstand their powerful runs and sharp teeth; they will test your gear.

• For Greater amberjack

  When jigging, vary your retrieve speed and jigging action to find what the amberjack are responding to on that particular day.

• For Great barracuda

  Use wire leaders to prevent bite-offs due to their sharp teeth, and a fast retrieve often triggers a strike.
