lolz yeah if i get anything i will post them here and share it with you guys! thanks for all the comments and suggestions

ARGHHHH NO FISH STREAK!!!! this is starting to take its toll ....

been using all sorts of bait... earthworms, chicken liver, chicken skin, bread and been to different locations ...

i am wondering if it is me being a total noob or these places are just over fished.

any of you guys here have any light to shed on my despair? perhaps u guys been thru this before? gosh malaysia should have fishing seasons ... that way people wont just fish out the whole damn place

that i was prepared.. however don't you think is normal for one to feel frustrated after so many tries and yet still zero catches? i am fishing at 'wild' areas but many people fish there too... i saw them getting palm size catfish and that's about it..

thanks for that, at least now i know what to expect and know that i am not alone and that this happens lol

what would be the best time you guys would suggest for fishing? say in the morning ... 5am? damn the effort it takes juz to get up... now i m on hols i still could do crazy things like this

thanks dude! yea its been kinda hard trying to get anything at all. at the back of my head i am ok and i know this is all part of learning
but den there's also this frustration also lol.

FINALLY LOL!! got something ... sai dou fish. just a small one tho. i was about to leave already since i wasn't planning to fish when night falls. when i was reeling in thinking there's nothing i felt these few jerks on the line that i have not been feeling for quite some time, and i was like DAFUQ COULD THAT BE?

i cant believe i am actually so happy to see this small puny fish lolz. i guess i shud put my fishing hours later in the evening next time for better results.

its only about 1 and a 1/3 of a palm hehe
btw do u know what is the name of this species in english?

pretty common here. wads the common fish u get at ur place?

i went at 5pm till 7.30pm. the whole time all i got was nibbles on the bait and that's it. then until 7.30pm when i was packing my stuff and reeling it in for the last time i got this bugger lolz.

i guess when the sun goes down it's the best time to fish

hey guys, i have something to discuss about. i've been getting much criticisms from my family members about me going fishing.

in a nutshell, they have been saying that i am ~wasting time~
they say..
- that i shud rather get a fish from the market
- wasting petrol going to the place to fish
- fishing is uncle's activity
- my skin is tanned till i look like a malay (no racism intended lol)

perhaps all i need is to get my full time job (i am 23 y/o). atm i am waiting for my result to be out at May and i am currently looking for a job. i guess maybe is becoz they don't 'see' me actually looking for a job that caused them to be so unsupportive.

i have to agree with you. however i think we all know that our parents nag/complain us mainly out of care and duty but i believe many .. or rather almost all of our parents are over protective, that's why they nag and always give negative perspective on EVEYRTHING ...

i like how they always compare me with kids who do not have parents looking after them and yet they succeed in life. i was wondering perhaps is becoz you guys (parents) are always giving me negative feedback on everything and giving almost zero support on whatever i do? lol...

well i guess the moment i start work i will have my freedom and hopefully i will be able to do what i wanna do and be responsible for MYSELF .. lol.. and to my family .. to a certain extend

haha i like this list

one thing about fishing that i believe has taught me is

- determination
- patience
- appreciation of nature, reward (fish big or small). I got this feeling most of the time that i don't wanna kill the fish... just wanna catch and release lol.

Determination and Patience alone are one of the key values to anybody's success. not that i am comforting myself but this is the truth. i strongly believe i can use what i have learn in fishing and apply them to my work very soon.

my parents are already holding back on their 'nagging'. but once they burst .. my gosh the words they use can be very disheartening ... they kept asking me to work as part time while looking for job but i find it rather unnecessary and i am highly unwilling to do so. however if it is the full time job i am looking for, i am more than willing to start.

sometimes i wonder if it is wrong to be picky ... am i juz spoilt? some people are just glad to get a part time job for side income.

Guys! i have a question! hehe hope you guys have an answer.

i have been confusing Soon Hock and Grouper.
at the moment i know soon hock is - Marbled Goby and not Grouper.

But i wanna know are these 2 from the same family? They look so similar! big mouth, ambush predator, hides in banks/rocks/holes, barely moves...

how big can Marbled Goby or Soon Hock grow?

60cm is pretty big lol. i suppose these maxed out gobies can weigh up to 3-5kgs. anyway thanks for clearing it up for me!

eh, any one of you hear tried using garlic as scent? ive been reading online on using garlic as scent to attract all sort of fishes... but i tried it myself and it doesn't seem to be effective at all. with worms the worst times ive atleast have nibbles but with bread and garlic nothing even goes near.... anyone has something to share? hehe

lol so many recipes i guess i will have to try them out by slotting in one or two during fishing trips.

eh guys, the place where i am fishing right. near the banks ... about 1 - 5 meters away from the banks i often see fishes coming up as if to catch something. it comes up and goes back down really fast.

but i manage to spot the color of the fish - black. they are not big, probably about 20cm in length (or shorter). i tried using worms to catch them, even with floaters they wont bite.

any ideas what fish are these?
