Changi Beach Fishing Spot for Kids and Beginners: Car Park 2 Guide

Image
Read on for directions to this beginner-friendly Changi fishing spot. Wondering where to bring your child or a complete beginner fishing in Singapore? Commercial fishing ponds such as ORTO, D’Best and Gills are convenient options, but free shore fishing gives beginners a chance to test their equipment and learn at their own pace. I recently brought my kiddo fishing at Changi Beach near Car Park 2 . We were surprised by the number of small leng chiam, commonly known as red-eared emperor, around the area. During our short 15-minute session, we received plenty of bites and caught several small fish. Catch rates are never guaranteed, but this accessible Changi fishing spot can be suitable for a simple family fishing session when the conditions are favourable.

Is Boat Squid Fishing (Eging) in Singapore Possible?

Image
We should have continued scooping squid until morning! Can you go squid fishing in Singapore like the tourist boats in Vietnam, Thailand and other parts of Asia? I know the question sounds slightly clickbait, but I have always wondered whether a simple tourist-style squid fishing charter could work in Singapore. I am not referring to technical eging with specialised Japanese squid jigs and aggressive rod work. I mean the relaxed tourist version where anglers head out for a few hours, lower a handline or simple squid jig and wait for the squid to arrive. Based on our night fishing experiences, it may be possible when the local squid season and sea conditions are favourable. Singapore Squid Fishing Trip Details Fishing area: Tuas and Singapore offshore waters Trip period: March 2022 Fishing time: Night Squid catch: Approximately 7kg in a few hours Local squid names: Chomek and torak Other catches: Prawns, beltfish, golden snapper, kaci and teeboon M...

Trolling Fishing in Singapore

Image
Trolling in Singapore? You mad ah? Well, this trip started off this way and this was truly something we wanted to try out in Singapore. Batang (Spanish Mackeral) was a common catch in Singapore in the past and we still get the sporadic fish here and there but nobody in Singapore ever targets them specifically. This was what we wanted to do on this trip but it was a miss because we couldn't predict the weather. It was super windy and rocky that day and we quickly gave up trolling.  As for tide, I have had mixed experience with neap or spring tides for these fish. On some neap tides, these fish take jigs and lures willingly... but old birds always say spring tide for pelagic. Aiya, doesn't matter if got strong wind. Pick up some live baits to support our fishing also Most effective colour. Big Mac trolling lure. The real deal. Boon landed a fish! This was caught near Raffles Lighthouse :) Tried to pick up some fish and there Boon's got a fish! This fake barramundi was huge! W...

D’Best Fishing Pasir Ris Main Pond (PRMP): Night Luring Tips and Catch Report

Image
Black Proberos soft rubber. Maybe I should buy in bulk, rebrand it and sell it at four times the cost. Maybe I'll call it Sticky Lake Rubber. We returned to D'Best Fishing at Pasir Ris Main Pond for a night luring session using soft-plastic rubber lures. This Singapore fishing pond has a long history, and older anglers may still know it as Pasir Ris Main Pond, or PRMP. This catch report covers our luring approach, tackle, lure colours, retrieval methods and observations from different parts of the pond. We mainly encountered barramundi, although anglers around us also caught snapper, mangrove jack and grouper. @baktao Went for a short night luring trip at D'Best Pasir Ris Main Fishing Pond. #fishing #sgfishing #luring #singapore Fishing at Pasir Ris Main Pond 15 Years Ago I was 15 years old when I first fished at Pasir Ris Fishing Pond , as it was know...
