Lady Fish (Giant Herring) Frenzy at Changi Offshore

Date: 12 Dec 2007
Boat: Ah Chong

Woke up to see heavy rain pouring. Spirits were very low at that point. Hope the rain will stop... Reached the boat... It was still raining... Reached spot... Still raining... Raining for a fast current day is really good luck have fun....Bahahaha..

Soon, i caught an Ang Ko Li too. Missed one due to playing too much with it though... Usual Jio Lor etc was landed and ONE HUGE FLATHEAD! Its the biggest flathead ive seen being caught so far.

Went to Ang cho spot but the Ang Zhos not around... I bring up their house also they dont want to come fight back....

So we went to hunt Chermin lah as usual... Fast current mah... No Chermin ah so sad... drift there park there... Only result in Ah Seng...

We drifted another 1 hr or so until some anglers got bored... and decided to imitate SouthPark or some say Darth Vader... Who knows! After we imitate, we had screaming reels and bending rods! A Herring was landed and straightaway after landing it, i also got one! I controlled it nicely and it was gonna be landed liao but who knows it throw hook! Suspected it was foul hooked somewhere...


After that was chaos ah... miss here and there... Landed another... Lionking landed a Chermin.... bla bla bla... Overall around 10 Tek Ngor AKA Kurau Tebu missed and only 2 landed. Ah Girl didnt have any bites at the beginning but at the end she had one bite in which the Herring bent her rod in the first burst so forcefully that her line broke... bahaha...

So overall the catch is poor but we had lots of entertainment. Probably the trip in which i laughed so much!

Enjoy the pictures!

Basic Introduction to Prawning: Simple Tips & Tricks

Image
Foreword and Disclaimer My first encounter with prawning dated back to 2002. Back then, I hooked up my first prawn near the prawning ponds beside the Downtown East chalets at Pasir Ris. Back then, it was something like beginner's luck but after prawning for awhile, you'll realise that you will need skill as well as luck to have a good prawning catch. Through hard work and observation, I improved my prawning strategies and tactics and after some sessions of almost 70-80% hookup rate, I somewhat graduated from newbie stage to amateur stage. I would like to share with you guys some very basic prawning tips and trip. But a fair warning though. Prawning is addictive and it can only get worst once you get more prawns. When you are a newbie, you want to hook your first prawn...you want to get your first 10pcs... when you graduate you want to hit 30 in an hour...next is 50 in an hour... This post has since been updated and refreshed as of 25 March 2017. Prawning Equipmen...

What is the difference between the Kurau (Indian Threadfin) and Senangin (Blue Threadfin Salmon)?

Image
This post is meant as a supplement to this Batu Pahat catch report . Information and pictures taken from #fishidlessonsbydavidho. Did you know that the Kurau and Senangin are totally different? This post aims to enable you to know the difference. Name and Terminology Kurau is known as Indian Giant Threadfin salmon/Kurau/黑午鱼/Orh Ngor Senangin is known as Blue Threadfin salmon/Senangin/白午鱼/Pek Ngor/Ngor Soon Eating Quality Kurau is known the more premium species and is a popular fish for maternity purposes as it is believed to boost milk supply for new mothers. It is rare and big sized fish are hard to come by these days. Generally costs more than Senangin. Senangin is less premium and is readily available in the market in various sizes. I have also seen that farming for it can be quite successful.  Size Differences If you do a Google search, you will realise that both can grow quite big. However, this is not a good comparison as geographically, there are differe...

Fishing at Barelang Fishing Pond (with trip itinerary and tips), Batam

Image
It's never easy for angler-couples with kids to go fishing. You bring the kid along, it doesn't really feel like quality fishing together. You leave the kid at home, you're basically confined to one day trips which can only mean fishing in Singapore. But... there's Batam too! At the now very famous Barelang Fishing Pond. It's a fairly inexpensive fishing venue, surrounded with nice restaurants, massage parlours, shopping malls and you bring rupiah. It's definitely easy to arrange too. I detail below three steps on how to arrange an affordable one day trip to Barelang Fishing Pond. 1. Pre-book a trusted driver with car for your one day trip There are many operators and drivers around. Just search around in Facebook and you'll find plenty. It is always a good idea to pre-book one as you'll be assured you have transport on that day! My driver was Aan +6281268187673 and he has WhatsApp. The fee to book Aan is $60 per day. Note that there are cheaper o...

Fishing at D'Best Fishing (also known as Pasir Ris Main Pond or PRMP) with Rubber Lures (Luring)

Image
Black Proberos soft rubber. Maybe I should buy in bulk, rebrand it and sell at 4x the cost. Maybe I'll call it sticky lake rubber. @baktao Went for a short trip at D'Best Pasir Ris Main fishing pond. #fishing #sgfishin #luring #singapore ♬ Oh no, oh no, oh no, no no - Hip Hop 15 years ago, fishing here was free I was 15 years old when I first fished at Pasir Ris Fishing Pond (back then it was just called as such) at Pasir Ris Town Park. I went there with a few of my secondary school friends and we caught dozens of huge tilapia. It was when there was no operator at the pond and you could simply fish for free. There were also a few pieces of the odd leftover fish and I remember catching a mangrove jack on bread. Introduction to D'Best Fishing Now after years of being run by different fishing pond operators, the pond now goes by the name of D'Best Fishing by D'Best Recreation. Old timers to the pond just simply remember it as Pasir Ris Main Pond (PRMP) for t...
