this spot got peacock bass ah?

not sure.

ok just came back from New Natural Exotic Fishing Pond that moved from Rawang to Behrang.

for those that do not know, Exotic is a catch and release pond that originated from Rawang and moved to behrang recently. It is famous for its variety of species of freshwater fish that u catch and release and for its VIP service and also for its "easy to catch" hook rate.

Rate is RM 100/ 4hrs.

U may use the variety of baits and lures. The bait sold over there are:

1 - live lampang (not recommended)
2 - live keli ( wat gor u chop up in to pieces and highly recommended for red tail)
3 - intestines ( yes sold at their freezer, but u need time to thaw out as its frozen solid)
4 - chicken meat ( yes sold also at their freezer and need time to thaw)

U may also use your own dedak but i wont recommend it as the water current is strong and constantly moving.
U may also want to consider lures for casting, i used a spoon to hook up some gar and sultan fish.

No sam char ngau is allowed, so swap your trebles on your lures with a single hook.
ALL HOOKS NEED TO DEBUG AND ONLY 1 HOOK IS ALLOWED.

prepare your heavy gears. i went in with a dogtooth rod and 8000 reel with 80lbs braid and 120lbs leader. i dunno how many leaders i've tied, i lost count. Fish there wayyyyyy more stronger than they were in the old exotic in rawang. Guess the water is better.

U may fish when its raining as its shaded. So heavy rain also dun worry. Plenty of shelter unlike the old exotic rawang.
Restaurant is upstairs but i doubt u'd wanna eat any of the stuff there. i havent tried it as i went late at night.

Pond is open 24/7 all year round with a rate of RM 100/ 4 hours and bait u can buy there. So just bring your gears and fish on !

Species i and my friends caught

1 - Amazon red tail ( plenty of these fighters ranging >10kg) the smallest we caught was 20+kg.

2 - Rohu ( 2kg + i think. didnt weight but it was around that region)

3 - Mekong (roughly 30+kg was brought up by my friend using his special bait)

4 - siamese carp ( supposed to be 30+kg but the 1 i caught was only 6kg)

5 - normal keli ( weighing in smallest is 8kg and biggest caught was 20kg)

6 - alilgator gar ( someone caught it with a pencil lure and that monster weighs around 60+kg)

7 - terrapin ( yes these pests are back in from rawang. friend hooked up a 4kg terrapin)

8 - big lampang ( they grow up to 1/2kg)

supposed to have other species but havent up yet.

Enjoy your trip to behrang......its damn far but the place is super clean, the waters are good and the service is still top notch just like last time.

Wahh all monster fishes. Need to upgrade my gear accordingly before try there.

yea, but i highly recommend the following spec as minimum....

rod pe 2-4 (best is 3-6 or 4-5)
reel 5000 with 5.1:1 and above
braid/mono 60lbs and above
leader 80lbs (best is 120lbs due to sharp teeth fully grown)
hook size 22 need to debug. small hook hard to debug

those mostly bottom and mid water fish so lure can expect use crank or hook pencil. remove all treble and split ring single size 22 or something.
single hook only remember.

for softbait can go 4" shad or paddle tail with 1/4 oz jighead. color expect dark orange or maroon or darker colors.


anyway this spec for night fishing, daytime gear no diff execpt bait colors and size. sinking minnow no work. popper also no work. frog havent try but i hear they say got toman 10kg inside.

Just wanna share our catch during recent trip at kuala selangor

Hi all fellow anglers. I'm new in LYN. Just want to share with all of you about my fishing stories, experience, etc.

For your information, I've been "kumpau" for almost 4 months until I caught this beautiful "bujang" Toman last Tuesday.

I estimated its weight around 2 to 3 kg. It put on a really good fight though. The setup I'm using are :

Rod : Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 (8-17lb)
Reel : Abu Garcia Revo ALX HS
Line : Spiderwire Stealth-Braid 15lb
Leader : Berkley Vanish Fluorocarbon 20lb
Lure : Ofmer Air Flow Pop

Hi, I just recently took up fishing and was wondering what's a cheap but good setup for a beginner? Thank you in advance.

If only basic setup for occasional fishing i think spinning size around 3000 with pe2 rod should be sufficient. Can start with brand like seahawk/ryobi/okuma etc

I went to the shop TCE Tackles. I was suggested this setup “Xpuyu Rod/Ajiking Reel (Galaxy S3000)” and Ajiking Line Pro M 30LB, 100M.

The specs seem like ok already but i have never experienced the xpuyu/ajiking brand. They are quite popular for entry level so i think should be no problem as long they are within your budget.

I heard about ajiking before but xpuyu is like a brand new.

Ajiking sucks.
The handle on my spinner which was brand new broke few weeks after i bought the reel. And i didnt even get to use it once.

Btw, any new saltwater ponds to explore in Klang/Banting or even KL/Shah Alam area?

any peacock bass mania here?

not a peacock bass mania but where's the port?

kolam pandamaran SHG

I think i know where this is and even went there before.
How much it is now?

naik harga liao. i think now is RM 90 for pond 4.
last time RM 75.

pond 1 i think went up till RM 150 sigh.



almost same price as sea lion. but sea lion got hell lot of pond.
SHG got 4 pond. 1 under maintanence.
Sea lion got 7/8 ponds.

Pond 4 last time i went many siakap less jenahak/kerapu. Not like during my 1st and 2nd time visit

now give u siakap also good liao. i went sea lion twice to the new pond 3a come back empty handed ..... both times also 4 hour session.
at least in ShG chances up fish much higher than sea lion pond 3a.
