hi everyone, i'm new here.....

playing spinning reel and baitcasting reel. normally fish at pond and out to the sea.

hope sifu sifu can guide me more...

before i took up BC ... spent a lot of time digging and reading up on info
finally decided on the what i wanted
did as tutorials indicated ... if one goes to youtube, plenty of instructional vids

turned out pretty much as indicated
start with the basics, with a little bit of practice, it is not hard
char beehoon because of a handful of factors:
-thumb not applying ABS
-cast too hard
-lure too light therefore spool turn faster than line goes out
-line lay not good or line bite into the rest of the line
-wind knot in the line not unwound

learning to use the thumb is like learning to drive manual tranny
once you've got it, you can drive manual & auto 

higher priced reels are engineered better, material quality oso better
relatively easier to learn with those ... basics still remain unavoidable
a DAM vittatus 100 magnetic brake BC @ RM200 is quite good
budget ABU revos (SX, S, promax, bluemax, blackmax) are good, too
shimano caenan, citica and the new curado G are all right, too, for beginners

reason(s) for trying out the BC:
-better accuracy ... yes
-better control ... yes
-more versatile ... yes
-curious ...
for really light lures ... i'd suggest spinning set up
unless one doesn't mind paying more than 1k for a good light lure BC
2nd hand units available for less

hi guys, good news, my friend is planning to open up a paypond somewhere in bandar utama, and is asking around for opinion. nothing is decided yet, but he is wondering what kind of pond will be popular. initially he wanted to do something like jpond, only haruan and toman, CNR but at a much cheaper rate. what u guys think? or any other idea? or, CNR, with a fee, but fish can be taken back by weighing and pay extra. can haruan, toman and PB put into a same pond?

pond size is about the size of jpond, but tentatively not putting in arapaima, mekong and such mega mega fish. but is thinking about amazon redtail and asean redtail. pls keep the ideas coming, this could be our next "home", haha

If i were you i'd just put in a few species like the toman, haruan, pacu etc and when you get your regulars or when the water is more stable then only add species like redtail and so on.

i think putting in 1 - 2 exotic fishes or rare fish like the amazon or asean redtail would be sufficient. and then put in a few other local non aggressive species. that way your niche will be the red tail and since they are the kings there they can grow quick to large sizes, and which you could promote.

my idea is that people could associate your pond as being famous for "giant red tail catfishes" rather than "that pond wad oso got". but i think the key is to know what people would love to fish for. i was thinking perhaps people would like to fish for haruan or giant snakehead, coz a lot of action. but i wonder if many people kept casting baits into the water, the snakeheads would somehow start to figure it out and just stop biting... lol

but please take this with a pinch of salt. this is just some random thoughts of a mass comm grad lol.

Lol,belum Cuba belum tau, sudah Cuba tiap tiap hari mau

eh guys, taman tasik titiwangsa can fish rite? what about semenyih?

are there rules and regulations as to fishing at these places?
are these 2 places over-fished?
what kinds of fish are found?

thx! hehe

Sea bottom or jigging??
Here got few Sea kaki,.. but most of us are into fresh waters.
Tried to make many trips but due to busy schedules and individual priorities many failed.

Some successful ones went in small groups of 4-5.
Harvin,.. you can spear head and book a trip i am sure got ppl will respond and intersted.

Rompin maybe since it's ebek/sailfish season

Me and my friend plan to fish at pd this weekend.but i am still newbie and this is my first time salt water fishing,so i plan to start fishing around pd beach side 1st.want to try find some spot like 海湾 maybe(i guess water is deeper and more fish gua).about bait we plan to bring prawn,kembung,sea cacing and maybe siham also.any recommended bait and fishing spot at pd beach side by sifu-sifu here r?paiseh..still newbie:)

good for them ... looks like a 4-5.5kg fish

i'd like to put the two toman nuts under water for the same time span as the toman was out of the water, after they've run 2kms

as for the fly fisher, i'd like to hold him down flat, without clothes, on a nicely sunned piece of zinc .. whether the foot rests on him or his face remains to be seen

lazy, ignorant, or couldn't be bothered?
curious tho' why he was stripping line instead of reeling in the line ...
