After a very addictive bashing at Pekan for the sail fishes, it was kind of hard to look forward to a Changi trip. The two places simply can't be compared! A friend of my dad's invited us over to a trip he organised for their group of friends. We will be sharing two boats among 19 people. My dad's friend and his family will be joining me, my dad and my bro in one boat with my rsm and family. We will be taking Zainol's boat. I have heard of Captain Zainol before. Boarding place... Zainol's boat... Baits for the day Today's current flow was a neat slick current which would yield a good catch of 10 - 20 pcs on Ah Chong's boat. Zainol's boat was spacious enough with a nice toilet but it was kinda lengthy and a little on the bumpy side when the waves hit. His fishing style is not drifting but anchoring beside breakwaters. I notice that he looked like he did not had any spots... He'll just choose some any old breakwater and anchor down! Today'...

Part 1 Part 2 Tongkol Boils Highlight

The streaks of silver blue sails cutting through the water edge… The wild sashay of the mighty sailfish while it danced on water’s edge… The feral twitches of its feral snout while it hanged in the currents… The memories were still so etched in my timid angler’s heart and were still part of my dreams even a year after my memorable trip for the not so elusive but majestic sailfish. I simply had to go again no matter what. I did go again with some good ol’ fishing buddies of mine. Armed with some London Choco Roll and Pokka Sour Plum Green Tea, we went fishing. We had a jolly good ride up the land of boleh on a quiet Friday midnight while the slight drizzle beat away at the car. We rolled along the way until we reached our destination. We took some time in finding our Captain’s modern kampong which we would be spending the two nights. I was the earliest to hear the call of the kampong chickens as they roust me up of my short sleep. Off I went doodling with my tackle bag and fit...

I've been fishing at Sibu Kelongs for quite some time now and i figured I'm at least a good newbie at the place now. I've not tried all the types of fishing methods used there but I'll also list down what i saw during my time fishing there. I'll be listing the different types of fishing, tackle pairings and methods. **PICTURES ARE NOT UP YET** General Season Guide November - February : Monsoon Season ---> Seklar Season, Pelagic Season March - April: Ending of Monsoon Season---> Squid building up April - September----> Squid Season, Reef Fish Season September - October----> Saitoh Season October - November-----> Pause before monsoon season   General Fishing - Sabiki/Paternosters Rod - 5ft to 7ft / Reel Size 500 to 2500 Rig - Sabiki/Paternosters/Bottom Riggers Hook Size:  4 - 8 Bait - Prawn/Squid/Fish strip    Depth - Bottom First up in the list is of course the simple general fishing.

I went to Pasir Ris Farmway 3 Catch and Release Freshwater Pond to kill some itch last week. It's just beside Ed's pond. I was surprised with the change there. There is another pump and it is making the water current more complex. The pond is like a great washing machine now. It also kind of changed where the fish were hiding! I was only armed with Chicken Liver but another guy with dead baitfish seemed to be hitting a good amount of kims near the prawning pond side. I hooked up a red tail cat on fly and fought it for around 20 minutes but it gave me no chance... dashed into the wooden stakes near the side and cut me off... I tried everything... The day was saved by a huge Patin which came to visit my floater rig... It's my biggest Patin there... Cheers! Happy weekends ahead!

Continued from http://baktao.blogspot.com/2010/09/new-experience.html As we sat around and gave ourselves empty looks, we wondered about the next spot. Our air of sanguinity was gone. We were brought up into the hunt again with what we saw next. An air of shock passed over us when we went literally into the spot. It was a place that one would appreciate instantly. Thoughts of Giant Grouper and Threadfin Salmon crossed my mind. Concrete pillars all around us and the waves crashing against them. The sun was washed out of the pictures and we were grateful for once! Alan was still being pessimistic though…  As was I! Or was I? Come on baby! Tough luck… the fish weren’t happy it seems! Alan gave up after awhile as Weiyee and me found cheap thrill in using mashed fish meat as bait for the Gelamas (Croakers). We amassed a number of them. Alan using his Golden Pillow It was already mid day and we had only a box of dead baitfish to show for… Oh and some croakers too… The Cap...
