RIP Arapaima

Last night me , ah ho and simon went to bottle tree to try our luck to over the leader for the shimano twinpower 3000 competition. I decided to use hot dog as my bait. After 30 minutes of the first cast, i managed to get a walking cat. Small one though but it boosted my morale as i have been achieving quite a number of zero fighter for the past two months. Around 2340, i casted my bait to the floating platform in the middle of the pond. After like 15 mins, i thought it is going to be a quiet night and was walking towards my rod to reel back my bait to change to live bait. Suddenly my marker went up straight , i took my rod up. And who knows my stella C3000 is peeling line out from the spool, i shouted at ah ho . Hosei liaoz Arapaima ! As i am using Xzoga PE 2, i managed to bring it in within 15 minutes.

Happy like a kid getting his first ever toy, i went down into the water with ah ho to take pictures with my prized catch. This is the first ever time i get this fish and this arapaima is my biggest catch in my whole life. Estimated weight is around 50 kg !

After that, they brought it near the water pump area to regain its full conscious before letting it back into the waters again. However after 15 minutes i saw them took it up to the pavement, i realised that the arapaima did not make it. Haiz .... i am still having the guilty feeling now .... Rest in Peace Arapaima ... Thank you so much for the fun you given me.

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.

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

020109 Pasir Ris Farmway 3

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.

Personal Record Break at Aunty Pond

At around 3plus , it was raining heavily while i was on my way to fazli house for his newborn son celebration. When i reach faz's house, weisheng mentioned about how to even go for fishing when it is raining cats and dogs. As it was still raining heavily when we decided to leave fazli house , i suggested that we go to Ah Ho's house to wait for the rain to subside. After watching tv for awhile, the heavy rain finally goes into a dizzle mode. Ah Ho gave the signal, lets chiong !!! We reached Aunty Pond around 530pm, ordered a few drinks and quickly started on our fishing session.

This is the 5th time i am fishing at aunty pond and previously the highest record landed was 3 ACK. It has been kind of bad luck for me for the previous few times fishing there as i was using 6lbs main line and when fish is on, my line tend to snap.So for this time round i will not be taking any chances as i have changed my main line to 20lbs. Although 20lbs main line sounds abit kiasu, but i must say that the fishes cannot really be landed at aunty pond with 6lbs main line when i can use 6lbs main line to land fishes in Pasir Ris Pro Pond.







Well a fruitful session last evening, i broke my personal best with 7 fishes. Catch last evening : 4 KBL , 4 Ang Kuai , 3 ACK and 3 mangrove jack. Total of 14 fishes.
