Great Changi Offshore Catches 2007
The Angs and Peks
Date: 29 Sept 2007
Boatman: Ah Chong
Everyone was excited about today. It was going to be a Chermin hunting day but never did we expect to have so many nice catches! Started the day well with good sunshine and we were off to catch "Jiak Palang Fish" as told by Ah Chong... Never did we expect to bump into an Ang Chor feeding frenzy! Vroom Vroom... By noon all of us had break our eggs and all were happy.
Ah Chong's friend in a sampan even came over and offered us 7kg of Flower Crabs at $35 which we gratefully accepted! Tonight dinner was going to be very nice.
We were still getting Chermins here and there! Then Weiyee's rod bended like crazy and it was a biggg Chermin! After a tug of war, the fish surfaced but later during netting it escaped by spitting out the hook! BUT BUT BUT... The fish was flapping on the surface and was already half dead! We looked on as the fish floated away from us and Ah Pong's boat started and he faster went to the Chermin and scooped it up! Kelong!!!
Anyway he forgot to pull up his Anchor and later his rope got in his Propellor! Hahahahahaha! Anyway never mind at least they have a Chermin to eat. Then necroplastic came up with one very funnny moment when he fished up a Kelong Ci and said... "Huh? Kelong?"... Yes Kelong! hahahaha...
Later on no action liao and we called it a day. Guess what happened to the flower crabs later...Hehehe
Sweet, firm and fresh. HO LIAO LAH!

19 December Trip
Hoping for some revenge after yesterday's disastrous catch and we got it! Early on we saw ah chong boat got a big queenie maybe around 3kg at the first spot. As the day goes on... I managed to bag 3 good size Ang Chor... Ok at least something for me today!
After a rush of getting our boat for the New Year, we finally board Ah Long 3868 for the New Year! Wonder what surprises year 2008 will yield for me and all my kakis. It was a damn bloody windy day today and my hopes not that high lah... Ah Long drop anchor and everyone down their lines. So windy... current so strong. My size 4 sinker reach the bottom... soon after there is a little nibble and i thought it was small Ang Chor playing around so i gave it a tug. Who knows after the tug, line was peeling out from my reel! Rod bent into ugly U and the tug of war started. I thought the fish was a grouper but it fought very fiercely. This fish can dash! The fish surfaced and wow it was a nice size Gao! First prawn, first drop down, first spot, first offshore 2008 and my first fish at 1.5kg! Cheers!
After my grouper episode, it was Bro in law to feel some action! Rod bent, lines out and a guhood was netted soon after. Very good size. 1.3-1.5kg. Wah at this point of time, we very high hopes already... Fish were biting everywhere! I put down my lines again and Ang Chor goalkeeper it. 1kg... After that small Ang Cho and fish were brought up. Now everyone complaining... How come only TT catching fish!
bro in law hooked onto a supposedly big fish... Fight very long... Then when it came up, it was only a 1kg Ang Chor.. But hooked on the fishes stomach! The wonder ah! After that Sulin brought up an 800g Ang Chor and all was calm. By this time, everyone except AC and Sticky broke their eggs. Heheheheehehehe... Both of them very Seh...

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 differences in s
Hook Me Up Fishing Pond at Marina Country Club
Catches from the pond. Photos posted with permission from pond owner. A new fishing pond called Hook Me Up (HookMe Up Fishing paradise) has opened at Punggol Marina (Marina Country Club).

Singapore Prawning Pond Locations (updated 5 February 2024)
Prawning rates are usually $30 to $40+ per 3 hrs and the only difference for some operators is whether they allow you to store your hours, split the 3 hrs into 2 rods. Promotions are available for many operators so have a look at their Facebook page or website.

Marina South Singapore Fishing Spot (Eging and Shore Jigging Recce)
Marina South has always been a favourite fishing spot in Singapore. In the past, we would go settle our dinner at the Marina South buffet steamboat and then head off to the water breakers to crank deep diver lures. In fact, I remember a memory of having my popper being taxed from me one of those times we went luring there! Another fairly famous fishing spot were the freshwater ponds just next to the saltwater side. Quite a fair bit of haruan (snakehead) and tarpon in there! Ok back to the topic. I finally had time to go for a full recce of the Marina South fishing areas. It's quite amazing that there are no restrictions for fishing almost the entire Marina South coast and it makes shore casting, eging, ajing and microjigging so much more fun. We explored three spots today and I think we sort of regretted not bringing some bait... Below are some of the areas with Google map pins and what I think of the spots.

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
