Singapore Fishing: Sam Law and Ah Fong Fishing Updates (2024)

Image
Combined Saw Law Fishing and Ah Fong Fishing Updates (2024) So the group managed to pull together some Sam Law and Ah Fong fishing trips (local Singapore fishing trips) over the past few months. I haven't managed to update due to being super busy, so posting a few photos to archive the trips! One of our most recent trips. Not fantastic size but decent quantity of snappers with Sam Law. Sabiki rigs were working too. It was my first time using sabiki the whole day and I was quite satisfied to catch a few fish. Jigs were working that day! Another angle of the fish Bad trip, not much fish... But I scored two snappers on jigs, jackall 100g :) Another one fell for the jackall 100g And a decent sized parrotfish for me! Jon caught a good stingray on abu conolon! The catch tanked that day though... Special guest threadfin! Greedy hybrid grouper took both our baits... Celeste with a monster mangrove jack... probably about 4kg Photos don't do the monster MJ justice... Also the discovery o...

Handline GT Fishing at Brother Fishing Pond, Johor Bahru

Image
We visited Brother Fishing Pond in Taman Perling, Johor Bahru , for a fun session targeting giant trevally with light tackle and a handline fishing rod. Sherwin, Vinz, Su Yin and I made the short trip across the border to test a handline rod created by Jeff from RodStation. Instead of bringing only the usual lures, we arrived with plenty of interesting fish baits, including salmon, barramundi and grouper. The fish certainly seemed to enjoy our unusual bait selection!

New Prawning Pond in Singapore for 2024: Olden Days Prawning (Closed as of June 2024)

Image
In case you all don't know yet, a new prawning pond has opened at 10 Neo Tiew Lane 2! Called Olden Days Prawning, the prawning pond is opened daily and 24 hours. What was the most surprising for me is their current price for prawning. They are doing it at 1 hour - $9.99, 2 hours - $15.99 and 3 hours - $19.99. Quite a good deal as these are way below prawning pond rates. The location isn't new and used to be operated by Ah Hua Fishing and Prawning . Address: 10 Neo Tiew Lane 2, Singapore 718813 (located within Gallop Kranji Farm Resort) Contact number: 8756 4984 Check out Olden Days Prawning Facebook and TikTok !

Tuas Night Offshore Fishing with Wreckhunter

Image
Looks can be deceiving. This stingray turned out to be the food highlight of the trip. It had been almost two years since our previous squid fishing trip with Wreckhunter , so everyone was looking forward to catching some chomek. More accurately, we were looking forward to eating live chomek with Maggi. Fishing was almost secondary. We prepared our night fishing gear at the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club, commonly known as RSYC, before setting off for the waters around Tuas. Departing from RSYC brought back plenty of memories because I have joined many Singapore fishing charters from the club over the years. Tuas Night Fishing Trip Details Fishing area: Tuas, Singapore Departure point: Republic of Singapore Yacht Club Fishing charter: Wreckhunter Main target: Chomek squid Live bait: Freshly caught chomek Other catches: Stingray, green-eye squid, octopus and assorted fish species Preparing our fishing gear at RSYC before departing for Tua...

Jeju Hirasuzuki Fishing Guide: Blackfin Seabass in Korea

Image
Our hirasuzuki fishing experience on Jeju Island, South Korea. I never imagined that I would go fishing in Korea. When the opportunity to fit some fishing into our Jeju family holiday appeared, I could not say no. The goal was to catch and eat hirasuzuki, commonly known in English as blackfin seabass. I had heard mixed opinions about its fighting ability, but I was extremely curious about how a wild Korean hirasuzuki would taste. To make the trip possible, I engaged Hyunwook, also known as Duke, as my fishing guide in Jeju . He speaks English, knows the local shore fishing locations and provided the equipment needed for the trip.

Purist jigging style came up tops!
