Changi Offshore Fishing 201
Today after some discussion with Ah Chong, we decided NOT to head to Chermin spot to nab them as chances are very very low. We decided to go to secret spot! First spot only Ah C upz one nice Ang Kuey and for me Ang Ko Li. Second spot a few small fish... Continued for awhile... small small...
UNTIL! Next spot, i drop down line... ZZZZzzzZZZT! Goalkeeper! The bugger toook my bait. I set hook and it rain! Almost max drag and my line was peeling out like noones business. It was all over in 5seconds or so... It ran straight like a train to the sangoat area and i got snag. It later burst me off... It was no gao... No snapper... The elusive KBL! Although we did not see the fish, experience tells us its KBL as we hit many here before and the run it made was distinctive of a kbl. At least 4-5kgs. Small ones are not so violent..kekekke...
Anyway after that we ran out of prawns and used the baktao we caught. Surprisingly we caught more than 10 fish with baktao slices! Anyway thats almost the end,,
Still a fun day... No big fish, small fish also can.
27 Dec 07 CR- Gloomy sucky day.
Today is a very gloomy day. And based on comrade harleys CR from yesterday we weren't expecting anything much. Dirty water what to do. As suspected, very bad...No sun...Hazy gloomy day. First fish of the day was a pretty Chermin..,after that nothing... Tohru had a huge bite but he didnt managed to keep it. Whole day i only caught one ang ko li. But I guess I must be contented as tommy caught nothing so far worse then me. Oh well we try the next day!
21 December 2007 Ah Chong's Boat...
After one year waiting for my next Chermin... FINALLY! I caught a Chermin! Although not big lah... But i enjoyed the fight. Still gave me a woots woots fight!
Very sunny day. Hopes were high and especially high when i landed first and second fish of the day with my first and second prawn. Bahaha... a "Bata" fish and flathead.. Then i landed an Ah Seng....
Then Lionking had a strong take.. ZZZT! The fish dashed from the back of the boat to the front where i was sitting down and give a jump followed by a loud boom. I was totally shocked. After a few more jumps, the fish threw hook. The fish is at least 7kg size... What a waste!
At second spot, a new kaki hit another Queenie...This one smaller... Around 5kg at the boga... It still gave him a hard fight though! After merry go round, we netted it...
After that went to favourite spot and well well.... I landed A Chermin after we drifted... I was alone at the front of the boat and thinking nothing would bite my prawn when the Chermin goalkeeper my prawn.. Hehehe
At the structure, we dropped our lines. 3 Goalkeepers! Ang Chor 1.5kg, eng ko 400g and chermin 800g! After that all silent liao...
Then at the last spots, Lionking got himself a nice beautiful ang kway... we landed some tandahs and thats it! 4plus we finished all our prawns and we were back early around 5 at Changi Jetty...
Good day!

Today as usual we grabbed a few gaos/snappers in the morning but it slowed down a little in the afternoon. We then went to my favourite spot(usual kakis should know) and i got bullied again! Lionking dropped down his rig with his PE4 tackle and locked his drag in case the fish pulled the line all the way... Goalkeeper! Bam! ZZZt! PE4 max drag and line was still going out! Eventually the line burst.
Then it was my turn to take some torture. The fish took the bait strongly and i striked it... In no time my line was going out with the usual diving down stance. I locked my spool and managed to get it out of the "danger" zone... I then slackened my drag so to avoid any accidents but it was the wrong choice. Fighting the fish halfway, i thought it was tired and it will soon be in the bag but no! It had so much energy for an even stronger burst of speed! ZzzzZZt! It dragged me back to the structures and my line burst due to abrasion! Second structure biggie lost this month!
Ah well after that was plain sailing for the team until a huge Gao was landed. A very respectable 4.6kg it weighed! After that i managed to con a Guhood out of the waters and an incident involving a huge Queenie happened. A kaki casted out and upon landing on the water, the Queenie estimated at least 3kg came out and whacked his bait. The Queenie ran but threw hook soon enough!
Ah well a great day with good kakis. What more can I ask for?

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...
