thank you, fau
i'm using Tow Foo as a benchmark ...
any idea what species are available?
only lures or only bread, or no smelly bait, no live bait?
limitations or restrictions?

when u said cacing,.. as in live earth worms?
You didnt try the zoom worms I gave you ka ??

Went to Exotic on Sat with Inv & trowachin.
Well it was a fun & frustrating day for us, apparently bite rates to inv & trwoachin wasnt that good according to them, 2 weeks ago was almost 1 cast 1 bite.
We landed some good Amazon, baung, plabuk.
Lost quite a lot of lines fighting fishes, I lost mine to some thing strong pulling into the propellers machine.
Kinda sad because most of our hooked fishes didnt made it to the land. A lot slip & escaped while fighting.
Lessons learnt from Exotic :
1) Dont bother going with line below 15lbs
2) go with a rod rating M-MH
3) bring extra rods, if possible 3.
4) Soft plastics works so does deep diving lures.
5) workout those arm muscles & just hang on to the rod

Bukit Jalil pond is still muddy? Haven't been there for close to a year, since when they started opening. All those red earth mud goes into the pond every time heavy rain. A hangout place for old uncles fishing for talapia and pak sou kung.

may be helpful for those who might be interested http://www.bandfishingtackle.com/Waxing-Wa...-Moonphase.html

"There are four key moon phases. Waxing, Waning, Cresent, Gibbous. Waxing is when the moon is growing, or getting bigger, Waning is when the moon is getting smaller. A Crescent Moon is when the moon is less then half illuminated and the Gibbous is when the moon is more then half illuminated.

When fishing the Waxing Waning Moonphase the general rule is you fish the opposing tide of what the moon is doing. For example if the moon is Waxing or growing then try fishing the outgoing tide and when the moon is Waning getting smaller then try fishing the incoming tide. When the moon is in Crescent form then fish when the moon is at 10 - 2 or 2 -10 o’clock position in the sky. And fishing the moon when it’s directly above or in the 12 o’clock position in the sky is also good. On the Gibbous the same applies. On the full moon it pays to fish on the incoming tide and to fish deeper water, On the New Moon you can fish the out going tide and this is a time you can fish the shallower waters. Tip - the moon could be in these positions on the other side of the world you don’t need to actually see the moon as long as you know the positions at any given time."

there's more with helpful diagrams

ehehheheheheh
four moon phases
Waxing - when the moon is growing, or getting bigger
Waning - when the moon is getting smaller
Crescent - when the moon is less than half
Gibbous - when the moon is more than half

Eg
if the moon is ... growing ... try fishing the outgoing tide/low tide/tide is going out
when the moon is ... getting smaller then try fishing the incoming tide/high tide/tide is coming in
When the moon is less than half or more than half ... fish when the moon is at 10 -12- 2 or 2 -12- 10 o’clock position in the sky
full moon ... fish on the incoming tide and ... deeper water
New Moon ... fish the out going tide and ... shallower waters.
Tip - the moon could be in these positions on the other side of the world you don’t need to actually see the moon as long as you know the positions at any given time.

worth a try eh?
if have barometer, even better

Recommended leaders are 40LBS and above. Hook size you can get Gamakatsu 3/0 to 5/0

do we need any special type of hook or just All Purpose hook will do ?

less stress all around for both ...
circle hooks work by usually hooking the mouth corners as the fish swims off after taking the bait
once it's hooked, you need only hang on to the rod .. then pump and reel as you'd normally do
remember not to set or you'll lose the fish
last trip, i forgot i was using circle hooks and lost two big fish
whereas, my boatmate who helped catch my rod, just hung on and landed the fish ... lololol

New level of racun!! muahahahah
look at the colour man!!!
I so wanna lay my hands on 1
