Fishing with RF

Jun Keat & Me fishing at Subang Lake

Me and Jun Keat when fishing together at Subang Lake. It was in the morning around 10.40am and it is already hot.

Anyway, We got there and we started fishing. Just as my bait touches the water a fish had took my bait. i hit it and reel in. Then i put up my bait again and cast it over to the fish jumping spot.. 3 mins later it hit again. This continuesly till i landed 5 fish (Pakcu) It was tiring and the fun

so after 5 pakcu, i got 2 patin after that. This time the patin isn't so big like the last time i caught. It was smaller than i had caught previously.

Jun Keat mus be having fun reeling those pakcu while i was preparing something else. hehe...

So after 2 hrs of fishing, we decided to leave. So we pack our stuff and we took the fish from the net. A lady and her daughter was looking at the catch we got in our net. I ask them if they would like to take some fish with them. They replied "ya.. can can, Thank You boy" I ask them "how many fishes u want, aunty? We dun really wan it" She say two fishes will do and i give two. Then a guy came over wanting to buy those left over fishes, and i sold the rest of pakcu for RM2.50 a kilo and there is 2 kilo. hehehe..

i make some money back Lol.

The two patin i took back home and one patin i'll give to Szetoo and the other is already in Xiao Thoong's house.

Conclusion, is a good feeling to give away fishes and make others smile. Wee..
till next post.

Popper

The use of popper in fresh water pond and lake in malaysia isn't popular. You know why?




Mainly, most malaysian fish (Native fish) are small and not so aggresive ( Excluded our native monster fish like Toman, Sebarau (Masheer) and Kelah) compare to Peacock Bass (PB), Large mouth bass, chiclid and etc. The problem lies at the number of fishes. In overseas like US and Japan, u can get PB, Bass and chiclid in their water system. The number is so much more. Plus the fact that this fish likes to entertain popper and it is irresistable for them. With that the use of popper for them is very popular and they even comes out with different action of popper in the market like "walk the dog".



In Malaysia, we dun have those many aggresive meat eater fish. That's why the use of popper isnt so popular. Lately the number of popper sold in the country is growing especially for saltwater.



Lately i have been using popper to catch PB in Subang Lake at the far end corner. i caught many PB using popper and it is real fun. You are able to see those PB coming from nowhere and snatch the popper. POW.. u hit one after another. hehehe.. i had great fun using popper. Oh those popper i use are homemade. hehe.. I'm a fly fisher so.. we make our own lure.

P/S: The satisfaction of Fly Fishing is when your own design of lure/fly catches many fishes; this prove that your lure/fly is effective.

Huge patin

Keith and i went fishing somewhere in april. It was a sunday. We decided to go back Kolam Halim (Subang Jaya pay pond) to see if we can catch anything after our few sour attemp to catch last year.

So that night we went was after a heavy down pour during afternoon. We arrive the site around 9pm and started our fishing by using bottom fishing. After 20 minutes there is no activity or so ever. So i decide to put one more rod secrectly without the owner's knowlegde using float. few minutes later still no sign of fish eating our bait. Keith say why dun we do to the high grown near the TNB power house. And so we went.

since we change our location. we could see many fish taking air at different spot. I decide to cast the float first onto those stop where many fish jumps and left it there while i prepare the other rod. There is huge problem using float that time cause we couldnt see the float in the dark because we fail to get the glow in the dark stick. hehehe.. and best part was the float i use was home made. I use medicine bottle, those white square bottle. This method has been use ever since when i still schooling. i still remember the first time i use medicine bottle float was in form 3. there is alot of advantage in this float. hehehe.. i'm not going to share.. ok ok.. i know is no good to keep all by myself.

advantage of medicine bottom float:

1) u can control the weight of the float by filling more water inside if u wan heavy further casting distance and vice versa.

2) when wind blow, ready make float will blown away faster than medicine bottom thus keep to the spot u wan longer than foam float.

3) it looks more natural cause fish may think it is normal rubbish floating in the pond. (crapping and could be true)

See i'm so kind to let u guy know about the advantages.

back to the fishing story. So i couldnt see my float in the dark. My solution to the line tight. and to my surprise when i put my line tight, the fish already taken my bait and start running. POW!! i hit the fish.. the fish gives me a big tug. after few minutes i landed the fish. See the size of that fish.. is huge!!!

actually i seen bigger side than this. but this is my first time i landed a patin this size.
