EAK can use lure fishing?? went there and he asked me to buy small fishes to catch ...
actually when the pond keeper is there aka mr nik , he will ask you use either lure/live bait/fly only
other the that he wont allow you to use it ....

Yes. You can use lure, but its gonna be difficult.
In EAK, its all about distance if u are doing land based fishing. You need to be able to cast at least 25ft out.
I have success with slow sinking lure like the ofmer wonder 50, duel hardcore 50s. But the most successful lure for me is the duo ikakko in dark colours. Its so successful until I've lost 3 units there. Many sad.
because EAK are catch and release pond so most fish will adapt to the lure .....
after 1 time you get a strike , you hardly get another after that ...
so you have to bring new lure everytime

HANYA AKTIVITI PANCING LAYANG (FLY FISHING) DI EMPANGAN AIR KUNING SAHAJA DIBENARKAN. SESIAPA YANG DIDAPATI MEMANCING AKAN DI DENDA RM100 PER JORAN" - tbnsa.gov.my
Found this on google map.
there are around 6 pond at taman pertanian , but only 3 are allow to fish
EAK consider lower and upper pond , both of them allow lure/live bait/fly
but most angler will bring bread/dedak/pallet to fish
dont fish at other pond if you been catch by the ranger prepare to say bye bye to your gear .....

thanks, bro katsu
different parts of EAK caters for different types ... some parts only fly
actually both lower and upper pond also can fish just that the lower pond is too big and too few fish
so most will stay at upper to fish , and as long you using either lure/live bait/fly you allow to fish at both ...

So the Empangan air kuning is inside the Taman Botanical Negara Shah Alam? 12 hours for RM20, What time does it open?after 6pm consider night fishing? Can i bring my dog there? What kind of bread should i use for bait? need to mix anything with the bread?TQ
haven seen people bring dog over there but got plenty of malay angler so make sure you dog dont go harass them..
as for bread , you can bring any brand you prefer most will use gardenia

Actually, a lot of bottom kaki go there oso. Use chicken parts. So disgusting..
nowdays using chicken part even harder to land a catch.......
i just visit last 2 sunday , seen people trying to gather small pacu using chicken skin
throw a bunch of them to the water no fish come eat
fish whole day saw the chicken skin float whole day also
i think pacu have a change in taste

i thought only live bait, lure, fly fishing... no dedak allow.. didn't know internal organs are allowed.. i doubt i could cast that far... and i think my gear is not suitable for such fishing mode.. XD trying to reduce my fishing gear soon

actually light setting enough to fish at EAK, the only thing is you need to cast long distant
if you cant cast long , you might need to use heavier weight
if you manage to land 5kg + pacu you be damn fun fighting using the light setup
QUOTE(inv @ Mar 20 2013, 01:31 PM)
I dunno la, at one time, it was supposed to be fly n lure only. But nowadays, it seems that everything goes. Quite disappointed with the managements attitude actually..
the pond keeper yudi didint enforce the rules , but if mr nik there he will chase you out if he know you using organs
truth me i seen that happen before ......
if you using dedak/pallet/bread he might close a eye

Havent gone window shopping for months.... but for Yozuri items,.. you should check out Sam's place & Digital tackle.
As for EAK,.... any fluttering, slow sinking lures will definitely attract those lil pocket rocket pacus.
So far we landed them on Ofmer Wander 50, Storm Fluttersticks, Grubs SP, small spoons.
Bottom dedaks and bread goot for the catfishes like Patin and Keli.
Spinfly for the whats left of the PBs there.
Again,.. distance and accuracy is all the technique you need in EAK,.. pacus swims in schools and often goes frenzy,.. if you can cast and land your lure right on the splashes,... you are for sure to land something.
Beware of potential snag places, especially the jetty across the lake. Few sunken dead trees there took some of my lures.
remind me when you get a strike , the pacu sure go to the tree at right hand side when you fish at the jeti
nowdays pacu also seldom play water but still willing to grap bait
for those who are 1st timer go EAK fishing ,you might wanna have a look at here
