where and when?

Added on April 30, 2012, 3:26 ambtw, any toman specialist here? quite a few questions need sorted out. plsss help, thx :

I'm still very very new to toman fishing, and this morning just caught my first weighing 3kg, was so super excited. But I think I still have too much to learn and a bunch of questions to ask, and will be very much appreciate if you can help. I list them all down as below:

1. I was using artificial lure, suspending I guess, as I only know there are 3 types, popper, suspending and sinking. Does all three actually works for toman? which is the best? is popper any good as it's on the surface all the time? also, is there only 3 types out there? wat difference does each makes regarding toman fishing? and also the technique to retrieve it, slow? fast? jerk jerk stop? the color?

2. After I got my first this morning, I can see quite a lot swimming up and down gulping air as the water was actually quite clear, but they just wont bite even the lure went past right in front of them... is it because they're spooked after the first catch? how long till they're "unspooked"?

3. When i decided to call it a day, i saw toman fries boiling just about 3 meters in front of me, then guess what, mama toman, sized nothing less than a meter, as thick as my thigh, came up and gulp air (no joke).. I cast towards the fry.. no response, tried until they went too far for me to cast still nothing.. I was wondering, shall i cast it on the fry, or further infront of the fry and retrieve it and passes the fry, or next to the fry, or how? I understood that papa and mama toman will guide the fry, but papa wont strike, is that true? wat i saw was papa toman? pls advice on this, as I've heard ppl saying u can cast ur slippers in and they will strike when they're guarding their fry, literally, is that true?

4. Is the techniques and tips for toman same for haruan?

just went scott garden yesterday, dont think they have it

to make sure it survives, first of all u need to be extra careful when landing it, and when releasing it back, make sure it has the strength to swin again, for air breather fishes, make sure then have the energy to take a breath, hold them in the water first, if they got the strength to swim again then most probably they will survive

come to puchong, opposite tesco puchong 2nd row there is a shop selling, means the back of the shop is facing tesco, only 2 rows of shops there so easy to find, outside selling birds, its actually an aquarium shop selling fish, but they sell rod, reel net etc.. price not too sure though

Bro,
As far as i know,Conolon have 2 type. One is the fresh water type and the other one is towards jigging.

I doubt the info you got from TCE is not the jigging rod as you wanted the PE1-3


got it from kepng tackle yesterday paired with my new abu garcia cardinal 706...cant wait to start casting!! lol

heard in fish valley they gonna change the RM5 pond to casting pond after raya..
btw, anyone with any advice on the CNR pond in fish valley? cant seem to get any fish,, advice on bait pls??

toman fries are red in color, otherwise it could be predator fish feeding on those small fish, like they cornered them and feed.
