Last weekend went to paypond at Kundang and got this


Tongsan fish

that "kepala besar" gonna make some good curry fish head dish!
congrat on the catch..

eh no reports from others ar ?

no go fishing so nothing to report lorr .. hehehe

woah, nice man that tongsan. where in kundang?

i'm very new to fishing...any websites where i can learn and read about its tips?..or any forum to join..pls advise...

Planning to get a 5ft light action rod and reel, any recommendation? Budget rm200. Thanks

jig ? trolling ? bottom ? ... paypond ? jetty ? river ? saltwater or freshwater
list your preference and there will be sifus comming in to assist you

hmm can try those china made daiwa rods and reels. that should be within your budget.

hahaha...i'm newbie lah...dun reli know wat is all tat...

but i tink most probably is those river..freshwater...anything tat i shud be concerned about?..

anyway, got some queries..

Q1: are those rod and reel from shooping complex suitable?...say like: the rod cost Rm50..the reel cost like Rm40..and the string (how to choose huh?)


i'm beginner..very very very new...

rivers with currents will demand a stronger and more reliable set up
if u just fish in ponds then almost anything will suit u .. just dont use too heavy line and use small hooks

i try to register with ur forum to fish for more information...

@fastreader

allocate budget around 200-300, then go get a light-mid action 6 and 1/2 feet rod pair it with a 2000/3000 series reels...

get yourself some size no 4~7 hooks.
sinker size no 5~9
line... ermm 8lbs to 20lbs mono

other stuff u need such as cutter, pen knife, float and etc ..

btw i strongly suggest you to try out pay pond instead of river.. it's dangerous man ! just like what sifu Q say ... river current is damn strong ... don't play play man.. enjoy fishing but then don't put your life on risk ok ?

wanna ask lah...is a float necessary?..i mean for beginner like me...

i tink i will fishing fr the bridge..so shud b quite safe..anyway,wat is the float for?..to see if the fish bite ur bait is it?..

Any good/cheap recommended tackle shop around?

depends on situation and species targeted...

for example -
a) places with loads of sangkut .. float can be deploy to minimize the potential of line snag.
b) use to present live prawn for surface dwellers such as siakap and etc...

many tackle shops around but most of them do not advertise online
depends one where u are located .. and oso what stuff u are looking for

if u fish off a bridge ... i presume u are in PG .. then i dont recall many bridges u can fish off besides PG bridge
that is not advisable ...
but if u do fish off a bridge then u will need heavier setup coz u need to haul the fish up on your line all the way up the bridge and your setup have to carry the full weight of the fish .. much heavier setup in fact
i would advise u to try off a pond or extremely slow running water 1st ...

Float fishing is fun. Good indicator for fish bites for newbies too

relix,ugly stik rm80 +/- enough

2000 series reels rm100 +/-

mono line 10lbs-20lbs

overall set should be around 200 , enjoy!

Hey guys i heard the fishing pond near Holiday Villa at Subang Jaya closed. Is that true? It's been quite some time since I've been there. If so, are there any places in Subang Jaya to fish at? I've been going there since god knows how long =(
