Kim Chio
Date: 24 August 2007
Boatman: Ah Chong
The day started pretty dull with black clouds forming and threatening to spoil our fishing day. Still we proceeded with our heads held up high and lowered the first raiding party into enemy territory... Very soon Taufik "Kan Chiong" Necroplastic got his first grouper of the day which hit the scales at 1.4kg. We were saying Necros' gao v big but very soon Ah Chong shocked necro buy bringing in an EVEN BIGGER gao!
Soon we proceeded to the next spot... Lines down and zzzt zzzzt! Chaos all over with many tandahs landed. It was chaos at we were bombarded by the kim chios. My own kim chio managed to throw hook when instead of fighting, it swam UPWARDS! And i couldnt set in time... Vin even CNR-ed a chermin by the boatside( How kind of him. didnt know he cnr one)...hehehehe.... Taufik hit an unstoppable monster which made his rod go zzzt! zzzt! PIAK!... my friend also got a monster... The fight was 5min in and the monster still threatened to dive into the pillars. Eventually the fish won and it dived down and it was the last we saw of it...tt at this point was feeling abit sad as he only had landed a few small snappers and a flathead...
But...later on who knows! A small nibble, a strike by me and the fish went zzzzzZZzzzt! By the look of its slow but steady runs...It seemed to me i was handling a big gao here which is at least 3kg....I said ho say liao...can thrash taufik... but wah...when come up the fish is an ang cho!!!
Anyway later landed a few guhoods, ang chor..etc and the day was over..
Other catches....
1.4kg gao
2.1kg gao
1.4kg kim chio
1.3kg guhood
etc etc....
Later on enjoyed a nice BBQ with red wine

Basic Introduction to Prawning: Simple Tips & Tricks
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)?
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
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)
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...
