Squid fishing or in Malay known as 'candat sotong' is a popular pastime on the East and West Coasts of Malaysia. This activity has become a yearly tradition as the season approaches following the end of the monsoon. The squid fishing activity, which is also known as squid jigging, starts from April to July every year in the seas of the East Coast. With concentrated locations at Chendering, Marang, Setiu, Besut, Dungun, Kemaman, and Kuala Terengganu. Since there are many species of squid spotted 'berkandang' in the East Coast's seas, it cannot be denied that the squid in the East Coast is larger in size than the squid in the West Coast. During this season, boat owners locally called 'tekong bot' are extremely busy fulfilling boat rental requests from squid fishing enthusiasts who are really keen to carry out this activity during their short trip.
