Pulau Sembilan or nine islands is a bunch cluster of islands that can be productive for lure casting, especially light to medium tackle. Common target species here consist of the giant trevally, queenfish, hard-tail scad, and barracuda among others. 

Located 12km southwest of the town of Lumut, Perak, Pulau Sembilan (Nine Island) is one of the famous Malaysia's GT jigging & casting destination. Pulau Sembilan also not far from Pangkor Island. It takes about 20 minutes boat ride to get to Pulau from the mainland.

Around the island there are various types of hard and soft corals, which provide protection to the smaller fish and it's made a perfect spot for the predator to hunt. Popping, jigging & lure casting are the main technique used by sport fishing angler in Nine Island. Because of the less strong underwater current, light to medium jig range from 20grams to 80grams are required. There are so many variables to factor in for this favorite pastime of ours that we call fishing. More so when it comes to saltwater fishing. Chief among these factors is the tide.
