Toman Fishing Indonesia – Specialist Giant Snakehead Fishing Charters

Experience the power of Indonesia's most aggressive freshwater fish—the mighty Toman. Also known as the Giant Snakehead (Channa micropeltes), these apex predators dominate the lakes of West Java and are famous for their explosive topwater strikes.

Based at Waduk Jatiluhur, just two hours from Jakarta, Sunda Strike Sports Fishing specialises in guided Toman fishing charters using artificial lures. The lake's extensive floating fish farms and dense water hyacinth provide ideal habitat for Toman, creating one of Indonesia's premier destinations for topwater lure fishing.

Butterfly & Temensis Peacock Bass Fishing

While Toman are our primary target, Waduk Jatiluhur is also home to healthy populations of Butterfly Peacock Bass and Temensis Peacock Bass. These aggressive South American sportfish have adapted exceptionally well to the lake and provide exciting lure fishing throughout the day.

Peacock Bass are renowned for their aggressive strikes, hard-fighting ability, and willingness to attack artificial lures, making them one of the world's most popular freshwater sportfish.
