Well.. usually this kinda effect only happens when small fishes nibbling your baits away.. for example gelama and gerut gerut.. they will bit the head off.. but not always small fishes.. sometimes the bigger fishes does eat but manage to whack the head only.. try using double hook with one running hook hooked on the prawns tail and the other hook near the prawn head

Sealion also not bad ma.. i though Daddy wanna make a trip there?? dunno when only la.. or tiger prawning also not bad ma..

i forgot who teach us b4, you can actually put the hook through the prawn's head without killing it and it stays alive longer than u hook the tail (according to the person lah). I seldom to bait fishing, so dunno la...

Anyways, he said to out the hook through the small horn on the top of the head, make sure you don't hook the brain.. this may look like it's going to come out easily, but the hard part of the horn will prevent that from happening, so it's going to be a bit hard to poke it through la.. especially for green headed fellas... (fookie, i'm not refering to U!! )

sorry couldn't give credit to the person who taught me this... forgot who liao

hi all all sifus here
any kaki in penang ??
prefer freshwater 1...

hi Darren,

You stay penang but prefer freshwater?? strange ler.. kekeke..

anyways, most of people in here from KL, bro fookie from sitiawan lar... not too far (compared to the rest of us la).

we are also lest active in this forum, you will see some signatures and know y...

the only freshwater place in penang is...the reservoir?

Freshwater fish not really SYOK to play unless you go for the big ones like TAPAH and the rare one's like KELAH , but i still prefer Saltwater Fishes as they give a better fight and also they are the bigger one's, In Penang you should play saltwater as it is near the sea .....

Just my opinion, sorry if i offended you bro

Does anyone know of those light-up baits? I'm not interested in fishing myself but I'm looking for the battery (BR435/CR435) that's used for those baits.

chun : haha dont know why i like freshwater more...sitiawan...omg

fookie : ya reservoir, but usually i go in backdoor lar...haha

fish@5311 : haha....my equipment not that good enough for deepwater fish yet....somemore its costly to rent a boat ler
although penang got alot seaside fishing place, but most of the time get 0 catch (small fish and the helicopter not counted)
somemore got some nice fishin spot always got perompak 1

reservoir cannot go in backdoor lar..kena tangkap you kena jail 2 years for trespassing..
actually you don't need those high end gears to do salt water fishing.. a simple rod and reel would do
what rod and reel, you need to ask those sifus like rorytate and qiw

me use cap ayam FISHING gears one .. as long as it works ..

wow..shimano and daiwa cap ayam
then whats seahawk? cap tahi ayam?
LOL.

so sorry ahh .. i dont have any cap DAIWA FISHING gears laa ..

ok lar..no daiwa..more expensive than daiwa, shimano.

I'm one of the kakis in Penang.. Now hard to find fishing spot in the island anymore.. Last time used to fish haruan, keli , tilapia and ikan bulan at Balik Pulau.

alot of places fish depleted due to over fishing pressure .. cannot do anything
not just freshwater .. saltwater/sea oso same thing ..

last time ppl say beach no fish must go outside sea only got fish
now go outside sea sometimes also won't get any fish..

sifu sifu i Penang, i will be going to Pantai Keracut tis weekend and according to the website, it says "you can bring along your fishing gear and fish at the jeti". Can anyone shre with me is it true? doing shore casting? popping? Pls share!

not sure about that gundamalpha... never seen those before... but google it... quite interesting pc of gadget.. maybe you can find it around Jalan Pasar?

or if locally really cannot find then search on ebay loh... shipping shouldn't be too expensive since it's so small..
