Desaru Fishing Trip with Ah Long Desaru

Image
Not much catch report... just a trip with Ah Long from Desaru Tanjong Lompat, where we went quite far out for some bottom fishing. We went so far we even saw Ah Jiang Sportfisher. Bottom fishing was good, lost a few bigger fish, lots of nibblers around, we released the smaller fish below 800g. The fishes don't look big in the picture but they're actually table sized!  It was fun fishing with PE 1 gear and light sinkers... Great work-out on Zenaq Ikari 1.5 They really seem to love tenya... Great day, finished early and went for makan. Tasty, tasty bottom fish. Got video ok? @baktao Relax fishing at Tanjong Lompat, Desaru. #desaru #fishing #fishinglife ♬ Waterfalls - Death Cab for Cutie

Singapore Fishing: Sam Law and Ah Fong Fishing Updates (2024)

Image
Combined Saw Law Fishing and Ah Fong Fishing Updates (2024) So the group managed to pull together some Sam Law and Ah Fong fishing trips (local Singapore fishing trips) over the past few months. I haven't managed to update due to being super busy, so posting a few photos to archive the trips! One of our most recent trips. Not fantastic size but decent quantity of snappers with Sam Law. Sabiki rigs were working too. It was my first time using sabiki the whole day and I was quite satisfied to catch a few fish. Jigs were working that day! Another angle of the fish Bad trip, not much fish... But I scored two snappers on jigs, jackall 100g :) Another one fell for the jackall 100g And a decent sized parrotfish for me! Jon caught a good stingray on abu conolon! The catch tanked that day though... Special guest threadfin! Greedy hybrid grouper took both our baits... Celeste with a monster mangrove jack... probably about 4kg Photos don't do the monster MJ justice... Also the discovery o...

GT Fishing Pond at Brother Fishing Pond, Perlis

Image
Su Yin with his first GT Handline rod! Landed a few GTs with eging setups and light setups. Really love using fun baits... Had a fun trip with Sherwin, Vinz and Su Yin over at Brother Fishing Pond in Perlis, Malaysia where we tested out the handline fishing rod, created by Jeff from RodStation. Instead of lures, we brought truck loads of fish bait like salmon, barramundi, groupers and the fish loved it.  Luring feels like a sham here, no skill or technique needed. Basically, once you start berleying, anything that went in resulted in a hook up and we got quite a bit of hits on spoons. @baktao Fishing for GT at Brother Fishing Pond, Perling with basic gears.
