Fish Stalker Boat Fishing Trip April 2021
When your wife really loves you, they bring you fishing and this is exactly what my wife did during my birthday. We booked the entire Fish Stalker fishing charter for ourselves!
There's plenty of misconceptions about Fish Stalker and the way they fish. Most folks think they do mostly drifting because they have no spot but this is quite the opposite because you have to know your spots well in order to drift them. If it was so easy just drifting and getting good CRs, we will all have our own boats.
The fun thing about Fish Stalker is that your bait is almost always down since the boat drifts for long hours. To cover a large area, anglers often use tenya, madai or jigs. Anything that can "layang" and search bottom works well as the area doesn't have much snags except when near wrecks or drop offs. There can be quite a few monster fish too and I burst one such monster fish on size 20 fluoro carbon bite leader, double 4/0 hooks! The setup used was a Zenaq PE4 and Ocea Jigger 2000NRPG... Oh well...
Wife scored some fishes (the fishes were actually good sized)...

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...
