thx guys, leaving tmr morning here
not Luconia oh, just up to Mantanani from what i heard in the group. maybe near mengalun area and also i did hear about takat sajali and jipun
my gears all manual one. few rods and reels, weights, jaur etc. first time going out this far so still need to learn later
3 bottom, 2 spinning wana try jigging bit
yeap bringing 5 altogether. yeah i heard from my friend that he said to bring extra in case few gears rosak so won't putih mata later without spares
yeah my fren also says bring water, even tho they say boat got provide but I still bring water and food
i duno how they do it here but i may wana fish some live bait too and try later so im bringing portable oxygen pump and small tank for it. dun even know i can do it but just feel like wana try alittle bit
one group posted a tornado in the sea i think recently, then i see those ppl still fishing like nothing happen also.. crazy

ya, i kena before when i was noob, went out 2 days off pulau angsa, only brought 1 set of gear, by the time kena 3rd strike, my reel gears koyak jor. bangballs stay on board boat 24 hours looking at others catch fish only.

So anyone went fishing at paid ponds during the current puasa month?
Still as many people? Im planning to either go to s24 or Banting on Sat.

last week i went exotic. before puasa. full house RM 100/4hr.
this week no, i going off to bentong. heading over to my friend's private land, got pond and he released some haruan there. hopefully can net up some. i bought lots of frog poppers and top jigging minnows.

Today brought my stuff to servis servis a bit to prepare for my trip to bentong later.




my expert graphite rod with fuji rings






my jigging lead





i was a sucker. i saw williamson on sale , buy 1 free 1. so i buy lor. hand itchy now pocket empty jor



dunno why got glow in the dark but nvm la, is buy 1 free 1 so take oni




servis my prawn rod jusstttt in case i need it.







weight i use when i off klang. cukup lor if not pam until die leh. usually if i spinning then i go sizze 25. if not then dun play play these enough liao





my most loved of all, my shimano scorpion.

kasi cuci kasi serbis kau kau, even adjusted my brakes. kenot tahan liao, since last saltwater session until now havent clean. i think can see some salt formation. so wash and re-grease.







need buy more speedring and o ring. i used damn alot. all i buy branded stuff but still will karat somehow if kena saltwater. sigh. pokai lor liddis.




my jiggers. next on my wishlist is yamashita's warm jaket. for now all shimano oni.



wash my sotong jig. beh tahan, so much dirt. ow clean clean liao




love my 100gm but damn tiring wan play long hours with it.





some of my spare reels. long time didnt use liao lol.





my faithful 8000. twinpower. bestt dowhhh huhu. never fail b4

after clean now shiny shiny liao. beh tahan, salt water really kill everything. had to scrub, use detergent and then wash kau kau. then re-grease. nowadays got new silicon drops but sooooo expensive la. i baru use the cheap cheap RM 4 mia grease can.







aseemble back just for fun. go fling fling also syiok .











hpefully save up enough by CNY next year got promo i go buy beastmaster.

Should include nail clipper in the rig

got nail clipper. with ring at bottom 1. bestest gear of all for fishing.

some ppl like suffix some ppl like powerpro.
from my own experience, suffix is super exensive. performance wise, i feel is similar to pp but because price, i will go for pp. i rally cannot see or feel the benefit to pay for suffix.

Fuhh such dedicated fisherman. But I make it a point to clean all my stuff once I get back from fishing asap. Normally the same night itself.
My equipment is a far cry from Fireicecombo la.

Entry level Daiwa
Cheapo graphite/solid hybrid rod
China braided/Mono

Like said, not many in msia popping jig. Show me your setup. I lepak with Ironman and the ss2 boys, so far only 2 I know do popping. Show me your rig then I'll know what popping u do .

Nothing wrong using stella for bottom.

Fuu nice stuffs. Any trip in the planning? I'm all itchy everyday after the last trip last sunday eventhough I couldn't test my cheap rod n reel.

Greetings from bentong.

Well not actually bentong. Last saturday departed to raub via bentong road. friends wanted to wallop durian so bestest place to go still bentong-raub road.

otw there got river and many ponds. wild ponds. no ppl and just beside road. so might as well la. took out rods and started casting.

caught some nice buggers there. lucky all bring light gear.



my friend wife first to catch.



and then she caught another



another friend and his wife also caught



and then my friend also caught



finally my catch.







fun la. bite rate quite high. only there for 1 hour+ abit. already strike >10 fish.
got more pics but i lazy edit and post. i caught black talapia. put back didnt catch to eat. purpose of this trip is not seafood trip but is lau lin trip.
pond just right beside main road , after that sang lee town heading to the next town. too many pond there so if u feel like go, please do. try your luck. we went to this one cause is got river and small little mini lake and no fence. so stop car beside road and go in nia.

exactly where nobody knows. too many pond liao lor. so if u see one just stop and try your luck. we oni pakai roti gardenia. mine abit special cause i got some keropok udang with me so i squish and mix with my roti gardenia lol.

Wow nice catch

thanks thanks.

i would really like to share this bit of information with everyone. many many ponds when u heading toward raub via bentong road.

the ponds i saw at least got >15. none of it is fenced. no i didt try all, crazy meh, go there lau lin trip leh. some might be empty some might be high bite rate, no i dunno which is which. i 1st time also.

so hunters who are free can go try your action there. may u all strike many many and share the info of which pond u went and the bait u used. forum is all about sharing info. no need kiamsiap info.

You took back all the haruans to cook?

Is not haruan . The black one I suspect is Tongsan breed. The silver one I not sure English call what but I call it wan yue

Visited this pond last Saturday evening. Paid 45 for 3 hours and Got 4 Kaci which I sold for 42...Must be beginners luck...
Actually this pond bite rate look quite good, seldom see anyone go back empty handed...They have Tanda and Siakap also...
Now gatal to try around KL...saw there are a few around Seri Kembangan / Serdang area...
