Amir,

Just my 2fils.....on your hamour query.

1) hamour is not really that physically difficult to catch. Its not one of those fish which requires some sort of specialised gears and/or technique to catch. I and few of my other Bruneian fishing buddies had caught Hamour either by ;
a) normal bottom fishing using sardines, squids or shrimps as bait

b) slow trolling (max 3knotts) using spinners/spoons

c) sabiki rigs (one with green flurrys) WITHOUT bait.

2) Hamour have a tendency to head straight for the rocks or any underwater structures thus is after "hookset" if your drag is still fairly loose, the line will be dragged towards the rocks/reefs which will eventually cut it.

3) Hamour is not that strong a fighter. It will only fight while at the bottom, once lifted it will become quite limp/weak due to its intolerence towards decompression. This is why while deep sea fishing the inner floatation bouy will usually balloon up.

4) The main reason why there is a general believe that such fish is difficult to catch is because of the fact that its quite diffcult to locate in the first place. The fish is quite highly prized thus most hunted/fished causing its number to dwindle.

Like I said, just my 2fils!.......Others might have totally different opinions altogether!

Cheers!
