Hi all fishing SIFUs...
I'm new to this hobby.
so hope you guys can share some tips and pointers with a beginner...
I had just caught the 1st fish, a 1.9kg Patin @ Sri Petaling Pay Pond..
and I find this hobby really addictive...

my current weapon of choice, a el-cheapo 6' rod, with Tica GC3059...
should be ok for a beginner rite?

I've been using those brown dedak stuff to fish..
Can I use live crickets to fish in those pay ponds as well?

more than good enuff laaa ... unless u bump into those 7-8kg monsters then u might have problems laa .. hehehehe

Hi tinkerfy, what this QiW fella said is true laa, me oso think your set is gud enuff for payponds laa......

Yes, you can try crickets and 'Cacing Gila'{earth worm} for patins, pacu, keli/catfish etc.....

hahaha... just came back from Sri Petaling.. this time i caught a 1.1kg Patin and line broke when I tried to reel in the 2nd one, must have been the 7-8kg monster you guys are toking about..
all the fish there tak layan cricket langsung..
saw someone using bread as bait...

u using ..eerr ... 4lb line or something kaa ??

no ler... probably some el-cheapo 13lbs line...
not the 1st time it broke too..
how do I choose the quality of lines to buy?
any specific brands you'd recommend for pay pond fishing?
Every little details helps me a lot at this stage...

hehehee. hello all fishing lovers here.. i lived in puchong. love fishing but always no kaki.. hope 1 day we can organize some fishing trip then everyone go pancing pancing la..

i will like to ask sifus sifus arnd here, where will be a nice place to hook some fishes? prefered no-pay pond. like mother nature and mystery, dunno wats beneth.. ehehhe..

wat are the good bait to get real huge patin!! caught a big patin some time ago at selayang *pay pond* wif white bread.. and many more small patins..

errr .. 13lb lines fish at the sri petaling pond more than enuff laa .. AFAIK patin there big big oso around 5-6kg only .. some of us here using 6lb-10lb .. can naik 6-7kg patin no probs .. 13lb for sure no probs one laa .. just play with the fish abit and tire it out instead of pulling it in straightaway helps ..
oso check your knot tying .. most probably your knot there break laa ..

i use SUFIX mono lines .. ultraknot and synergy .. depending on location and type/size of fish .. japanese mono lines are really soft and thin but not advisable to keep jap lines in car all the time coz they degrade quicker ..

i oso use bread for patin .. sometimes i use other stuff like dedaks la .. most natural and accessible places FOC ones all hunted down already and no much fish left .. the other alternative is go paypond that is cheap lorr ..

i see i see. hehehe. hand itchy itchy ready.. been searching for this forum for very long laio.. need to bring back out my weapons and ammo liao! lolz. sure collected quite some dust, have not fish for abt a year liao. hope can find some kaki here to go along la, but all here pro pro.. me noobie la. lolz

HELLO 2007, BYE-BYE 2006~!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR - HAPPY FISHING TO ALL ANGLERS~!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007 TO ALL!!

guys, I saw someone using those eagle brand brown powder, where to get those ar?
what are the red coloured ones?

hi tinkerfy....

i'm also not really pro in fishing, try to answer ur question here..

As you mean the eagle brand powder if u refer to Sri Petaling paypond, u can purchase it from the counter.... its a "dedak" or ppl refer it as " hong/bomb" ...

yes .. those red/brown/green coloured stuff are available at pay ponds and oso at tackle shops ... different colurs = diff flavour ..
try to knead it using the pond water .. coz the tap water will have smell or chlorine and other chemicals foreign to the pond and the fish might not like it .. hehehehe ..

i manged to get some from the local aquarium shop... but at RM5 for 500gm packet...
but nevermind lar.. noob price mar..

hmm.. that's probably why no fish ate my bait yesterday... thanks for the tip!!
will do next round and try bread as well...
