7 Recommended Fishing Charters and Cost Sharing Boat Fishing in Singapore (2022)
Yes yes, I know there are so many articles and posts now recommending you places to go fishing in Singapore. However, when you go read them, most of them are just fairly descriptive and is probably adapted from somewhere else. No personal snippets, no personal tips and are just plain click bait-ish. So, I thought why not just write about recommended fishing charters that I have personally went on before. That makes things a little more personal and it’s these nuggets that really do help people make decisions.
Below recommended fishing charters/boatman in Singapore are not ranked by order of preference but alphabetical.
Abang (Southern Islands Area)
Abang is one of the most experienced and cheerful skippers operating in southern Singapore. He specialises in night fishing for golden snappers. If you want to try night fishing in Singapore, you have a pretty good chance with him. Optimal for 4 pax. Departs from Republic of Singapore Yacht Club.
Fishing styles: Bottom fishing for night, anchored fishing

Ah Fong (Changi/Pulau Ubin Waters)
I have fished with Ah Fong since I was in secondary school! That’s easily close to 20 years ago. He is simply a legend in Changi/Pulau Ubin waters and a very experienced fisherman. He’s the go to person if you want to try Changi offshore but his weekend slots are always almost fully booked. Optimal for 4 to 8 pax. Departs from Changi Point Ferry Terminal.
Fishing styles: Bottom fishing, jigging (possible), drift fishing

Fish Stalker (Marina South, Southern Islands)
Fish Stalker that operates out of Marina South Pier is a charter that I have went on recently. It is probably one of the largest charters there is in Singapore and catches are really quite consistent. It’s very suitable for newbies since the drift fishing terrain is very kind (mostly patchy rocks, coral, not very big sinkers required). Up to 10 pax. One deckie and one captain is included in the charter. Good if you have newbies.
Fishing styles: Bottom fishing, jigging (possible), drift fishing

Jimmy Lim (Changi/Pulau Ubin/Punggol/Sembawang Waters)
I’ve been fishing with Jimmy Lim for years, did some fishing videos for him and we regularly go for supper together. Jimmy is more of a friend rather than a boatman now. Jimmy’s strengths lie in non-conventional new age fishing methods such as ajing, micro-jigging, luring and trolling. His boat is optimal for 4 pax and departs from Marina Country Club.
Fishing styles: Bottom fishing, micro jigging, jigging, trolling, luring, drift and anchored fishing Catch Reports: Trolling and luring in Singapore with Fishing Captain Jimmy Lim from Marina Country Club, Another Giggling Trip on IT'S Gr-R-Reat with Jimmy Lim
Jeff Tsen aka Prince of Peace fishing boat for cost sharing (Changi/Pulau Ubin/Punggol/Sembawang Waters)
Jeff is one of the most hardworking, skilful and serious fishing captains I know. If you believe in maximising your fishing trip time, he’s someone that more than often is able to secure a harvest. Also, he loves kids and teaching them how to fish. Optimal for 5 to 6 pax cost sharing. Operates out of Sembawang SAF Yacht Club.
Fishing styles: Bottom fishing, drift and anchored fishing

Sea Charter (Southern Islands, Jurong Islands, Tuas)
Sea Charter is also a charter that I have went on recently. The fishing spots are mostly around Tuas area and is very consistent. Seems like many groupers during most of my trips. It is also possible to cast deep diver lures when fishing near breakers. Daniel is also a very easy going and chillax charter captain. Optimal for 6 pax. Operates out of Jalan Raffles Marina.

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...

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).

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...
