J-pond lesson learnt. Mornings are bad these days, fishes there are getting extremely smart.
Heard evenings are crazy

so this evening heading to jpond?

Cant la brader,.. I am stuck at work.
My clients in other countries dont celebrate 1 Malaysia. lol

yeah...very much educated. haha. had to use my 'salvation' lure to salvage some fishes if not i white fruit. lol.
2 weeks ago i was there just after an evening downpour...it was so different. the water was boiling...practically u can cast right in the middle of it and there will be a bite.

salvation lure? hmm.. interesting... do let us in to your secret! pls!

Your blue L minnow yozuri ?

yup...the blue yozuri L heavy sinking minnow.

hmm.. the red didn't work for me.

Shopping 2morow?

tomorrow working ler.. and gaji belum keluar yet.. broke..

enough of lures lioa lor. need more spoons, save fore gloomis, ryoga, pluton & conquest dc

Eh guys hornet and stinger hornet wad diff?

went jpond for evening session. 2 tomans landed. lots of bites and lost. evening's the way to go nowdays. lost a yozuri 3d Fuze minnow. the powerpro super slick 8 snapped at line. 2nd time this weekend. guess that's not a very good line afterall.

hornet cheaper than hornet stinger. hornet more like the mainstream model. hornet stinger more higher class with the carbon fibre weave look and fancy grip. lighter feel but very strong and sensitive. i can say put hornet stinger side by side with MC Slicer the are head fight, the stinger looks cool though...

there's also hornet devil sniper and hornet killer bee. the latter is a newer name that i have not heard of, but the devil sniper sports fanciness like spiral guides...

you're referring to the new hornet stinger? the one with the micro guides?

Yea I think is the 1 with the high tensile rod tip.if were to compare killer bee le?

can't really comment on killer bee... have you seen one in our shores?

I think bro ED has 1 and if there's mistaken I've seen it in rawang tackle shop. Hmm..base on the web info all I know that killer bee is definitely more exp than mgs stinger.

Mine is hornet stinger my current all rounder rod...marvelous pairing it with mgx and 10lbs braided.

Can't say it's good for jpond during the evening either. Went for an unplanned trip last wed from 3pm to 7pm only manage to land 2 toman and couple of haruans. Lost a yozuri long cast minnow and another storm minnow. No take on topwater at all. Even the evergreen sp is not quite working its magic as well.

Weather is a very big factor thanks to these days heavy overcast sky. Another is coz they just release haruans harvested from emptying the surrounding ponds. Lots of splashes and toman chasing for food but just not biting da lures.

went PD fish from beach..was using prawn, white fruit, then saw a lot small fishes jumping, decided to pull out my virgin prawn lure..managed to get a barracuda

Bro Inv,

The rear hook should be pointing up to prevent snag from kayu or anything. It does not increase or decrease any hook up rate as the hook point upwards or downwards, the difference is probably in 1cm range

Paypond should be ok, but if wild, chances of losing the lure is kinda high

Apologies for the late response. Was unable the last whole weekend

Generically for shore fishing(dont expect large specimen la), just use prawn or sotong meat will do.

You need to identify a few things tho
1. Current - strong, moderate or slow
2. SeaBed - Sandy, rocky or muddy
3. Geographical - Plain beach or rocky

once you have done these, you have a clearer picture of your target species and knowing what to use for them

As you mentioned you are a beginner, i would reckon bottom fishing meaning that you park your bait and tunggu makan only. If the current is strong, you may want to use heavier sinker, if current is slow, then you can use smaller sinker. Use the size of your thumb to test the current. Cast it as far as you could, then see if your line swayed to one corner. If it does not, then you are at the right weight(or sangkut), and if it does swayed then you gotta use heavier sinker.

The seabed of being sandy, rocky or muddy carries different types of fishes Sandy beaches have higher chances of gelama, gelama pisang, gerut, senangin and speckled stingray too. If it's rocky, you may have some coral grouper, black grouper and even parrot as well as jenahak. But if it's muddy, pretty high chance you will get the cat family, eels, mercedez benz, duri, brown sting ray... etc.

Good luck with fishing, and do share with us on your expedition

For pistol grip BC rod, unfortunately you may not find much choices. Daiwa and Shimano have them but the prices are rocket high. There are some cap ayam type too but it may not suit your desired rod. You gotta look around bro
