Quickie after a long wait

Yesterday night 12am plus, called simon ... on for a quick session at taman jurong pro pond.

We reach there around 0120hrs got started off with the usual taman jurong famous rig. After around 45 mins of waiting, i decided to take out the float and have a go with spinning. Soon enough i felt the first bite, just when i wanted to the whack that bugger, my line went loose. Sianz! I am RUSTY after so long of cold turkey and lost my prawn to that bugger.

Grateful that i made the correct choice of spinning, the first fish was landed , Mangroove jack.

I went back for the same spot to spin after 3 or 4 casts, taiwan nau BITE ! ... the fight was great.

Overall i had 3 catches and simon had 1 catch ... ( Super Last Minute MAN ) He got his at 0410hrs. LOL at least better than being a zero fighter.

Next time if i going to the pro pond, i will definitely bring kembong as bait rather than use live prawns.

Shimano Stella C3000

Finally get the chance to buy as my wife gave permission to get something from my wishlist.
So here i am admiring my Stella C3000 , still drooling like mad.
This is the ever expensive fishing gear i bought in my life after so many years of fishing
Right now while admiring this beauty, i am facing a problem of finding a suitable rod to go with it.
I am thinking of either Xzoga , Majorcraft, Jigging Master or Tenryu rods espcially on the PE 2 or PE 1-3 Range. Haiz big difficulty in searching what i am looking for.

Farmway 3 Saltwater Pond

As usual , me and Ho is itching like mad for fishes ( Fight ). This time round we decided to try somewhere else instead of aunty pond. So FARMWAY 3 here we go, not too bad for the catch rate as there were others anglers who went home being zerofighters.

7 fishes in total
Myself = 2 Taiwan Laus , 2 ACKs , 1 Grouper
Ah Ho = 1 Grouper and 1 Golden Promfret

Aunty Pond Again 170109

As usual super last minutes got Ah Ho's call at 1930hrs. When we reached there, we saw all the fishes landed was KBLs. I must say quite sian at the start. We started fishing around 2100hrs, me and ho got 3 each haha ... Not a bad result bah. Both of us using our xzoga rod haha violent when we strike fishes SONG !

Ah ho = 3 ACKs
Myself = 2 ACK and 1 taiwan lau

I would say buying this reel took me quite sometimes to ponder on but the temptation of course is too great to be denied so from now on this reel is mine haha.
FYI i bought it second hand at $350 sgd dollars hehe. For its condition i would say it is worth the money man.

Still need to save up for my wishlist of buying Xzoga PE4 Spinning rod to pair with this beauty but for temporary pairing will be with my Pioneer spinning rod which i think is a PE 3.
Good enough to chiong GT pond liaoz haha

Usage of it will be for jigging , kelong and if got chance by the shore bah.

Me , Simon and Ah ho went to farmway 3 today. I got two, one of which never got to land coz line break just nice when i was going to fall into the waters .. haha heng ar ... For Ah ho caught two patins , Simon caught the monster ...

Around 1500hrs , the monster decided to whack one of our baits... Quite a fighter i would say . Three of us took turns to fight the monster... A feeling of excitement !

First Day of the New Year 2009

Simon and i decided at around 0020hrs that we should go down to Taman Jurong Skill Fishing Pond to start his fishing revolution.

Both of us had three hours, for myself i got two KBLs.
As for Simon, he was quite sad as he did not even saw his float went down ( no bite at all ) until just 20 mins more to go. The float went down right in front of us! He was damn excited over the fighting of the fish. He landed the KBL with a delighted look ...
Phew !!! ... First day of the new year, First ever fishing rod he had , First fish to start for him.

Looking forward to our Friday 020109 trip to Farmway 3 CnR pond.
