I have been trying to locate some good squid (sotong) and cuttlefish fishing spots in malaysia.
1) Fishing around the town of Nenasi in the Pahang Region is quite productive for cuttlefish. (This is on the east coast of Malaysia).
2) Pulau Perhentian (or Perhentian Island) is good for sotong (or squid). This island is off the east coast of Malaysia near the Kuala Besut township.
3) Kapas Island -which can be accessed by boat from Marang fishing village which is 17km south of the Kuala Terengganu township - is good for squid fishing and it is possible to go on squid jigging tours. I belive squid fishing is referred to as "Candat Sotong" - the fishing is best between March and September and prior arrangements need to be made with the fishermaen before they set out on their night excursions. Most established tourist resorts can arrange a trip for you given a lead time of two days. There is also an annual Candat Competition in Terengganu. - [url="http://www.visitormalaysia.com/adventure/angling.html"]http://www.visitormalaysia.com/adventure/angling.html[/url]
4) Pulau Redang (or Redang Island) is located 45km offshore from the Kuala Terengganu township and it is also good for squid fishing (Candat Sotong).

If you have some local knowledge I would like to hear from you.
