At 0730 hrs, i received a call from Momok... "Fishing Ai Mai? Same old place", he said I sort of rebuffed the earlier invitation as i had just finished my duty and was well... not very sober. Minutes later, i passed by the spot on the bus and saw a familiar presence. That guy was on the way to the spot and that sparked off whatever doubts i had. I got home quickly and got changed... dumping my Nasi Lemak into my haversack. I got a few bottles of drinks from the 711 and i was set. The catch? I was without my rod. You don't do a 24 hour duty and go fishing afterward. It's only human that i was just going there to see the guys in action and maybe have some Kopi later. I arrived by the backdoor and spotted the familiar presence. Both had satisfied looks on their faces like they had just been laid. Roger had that senile yet evil smile which always accompanied him while Momok had that reserved look like something bad was going to happen. After some probing, it was...

MINI FUN TRIVIA! Can you SPOT THE HELLO KITTY in every pic? The long awaited sky dew came down on a Sunday night as a very deprived dark lord and his minion pondered over their fishing on Monday morning. The dark lord had went to the prawn village but found it hard to take back any slaves. Retribution was due... today. We thought that we would meet early today but Taufik's law struck again but we were still within the golden time. We brushed away fallen branches and galloped to the forbidden spot. The land of the "Ang Mo"... The spot being called the Ang Mo Spot simply because we saw an Ang Mo luring there. There were no foreign talent today but there were definitely fish today. The journey to the spot was quite spectacular as the heavy downpour the night before drove mists and vapor out of the forest onto the water. The misty effected was created and the sun cast a delightful gaze on god's creation. The fishes seem to be very active after last night's r...

Hi Everyone... I'm finally back to fishing and the past week has not been productive although i had many glimpses of how productive it may return to once the rain starts pouring... I went to the "Ang Mo" spot with Weiyee and we were amazed at how many fishes were rising up at first light. Apparently, they were heading to the open waters to hunt. Temensis and big Tomans were seen moving around. Even the Gouramis were waking up! We casted about our topwaters but nothing was interested except a decent sized toman around the 5kg mark slightly missing my pencil... The fishes moved out of the tributary very fast and we went to another spot. There was a big frenzy going on opposite us but we couldn't reach it. Temensis were hitting on the Toman fries in record numbers. Juvenile Tomans were flying about... After Weiyee went home, i tried flying with Roger and Momok... We were surprised that the shallow water yielded some cute Temensis and Peacocks... We landed quite a fe...

Hi everyone, have not been fishing lately due to being super busy. I went bashing today without my rod and found a few suitable spots. Tomans could be seen cruising the waters like Arowana and darting off in another direction with the bubble trail slowly moving. It seems its the Toman brooding season now because i saw green/purple Tomans hanging around the area but they were not feeding actively but cruising around. There were also a few new batches of small red Toman fries around small mamas. Anyway, i'm currently hooked onto Discovery Channel's River Monsters. They are showing this show now and the current episode if the Wels Catfish in Spain. But i missed many episodes and can't wait for the others so i'm gonna go get the videos. The size for all episodes are quite big but ill be borrowing AG's HD... kekeke... Go to discovery to watch some previews! http://animal.discovery.com/videos/river-monsters-most-dangerous/ Btw this is damn interesting too. Heli f...

I had nothing on the first day of the Lunar New Year so since Momok had his car, we went to a very common Eging spot which will be gone very soon anyway. We have been hearing that the squids have been arriving in small numbers. It's no surprise that they are in because during this period last year, i had caught many squids from this spot. It is during this time that there will be a spike growth in the sea grass and it seems like this attracts more squids. It's only a little disturbing since the squids are not coming in good numbers this year. I arrived at the spot way before Momok and started on my own. I prefer to fish the incoming tide exactly 3 hours before the full tide. I normally do this on a neap current day with a crescent moon as i feel it makes the squid more aggressive. However, today's current was quite fast according to the tide table and it was a moonless night. This was the first trip that i brought my Protech Magic Spin Light and i wondered how it wou...

I got off the bus and paced towards the entrance of paradise... Adrenaline was already building up and the sky was the limit today, i thought. Already, an Ang Mo fisher was fly fishing... The wind was still, the air stale but the water was inviting. It seemed forever to the first stream of sunlight although it the skies were void of any clouds. I waited for my companion so that we could make our way in together. Once we were in the cover, we pushed in with fervor and purpose, knowing that on the other side of the banks were every angler's dream. Tributaries leading away from the main reservoir are always a hot spot for fish. Usually, fish would go in or out of the tributary to hunt. To fish at the mouth of the tributary is a cheat code to virtually any freshwater angler. Making way in the forest will always be tough work for all anglers but the rewards that follow are immense. On the way to the river mouth, we encountered a big school of big Toman Fry that were willing to ent...

Just went down to Daiso just now. I grabbed some useful and interesting things that i could use in my trips. Daiso Egi lures have improved tremendously over time and i found the last batch of egi lures WIPED OUT! However, a new batch was waiting to be taken for the kill. I found it to be a carbon copy of the Yamashita Fast Sinking gold body models! I grabbed all sizes except the 3.5... Here's some pictures if you don't believe the striking comparison. A good copy indeed... Real yamashita vs daiso egi comparison Copied to every detail except eyes and hooks I also got myself some lure boxes which i think will be useful. They come with interchangeable compartments using plastic sliders. I could not resist grabbing more green pencils. Even more impressive was that the weak hooks were replaced with stronger ones. I got some rubber creepy crawdads too...
