Jip Puun Heurr Hotspot!!!

Hey Fishos! Been checking out suitable freshwater fishing spots near my workplace at Woodlands. So far Kranji Reservoir hasn't been too kind to me. Lots of baiters there targeting groupers A.K.A soon hock or soon fu. Anyway the area is quiet in the mornings. Not much lurers there so kind of boring cos cannot learn from the pros... Haiz :( But it might be a blessing in disguise cos i found a TILAPIA HOTSPOT! :) Caught one while using a small crankbait. But haiz, that place very easy kena fine de. That's why the place is so full of big fish! Hahaha! Fish is CNR cos honestly i dunno how to cook it! :P

Slightly larger than my palm! FOOD!

Toman juvenile packs feeding!!!

Been into alot of studying and learning about our fishy friends after a long while of zero bites after some unfruitful trips at LPR & LSR. Landing a big fish really is about the hardwork u put in and how much time u invested in honing your skills. Eg. Tying of knots, line actions, lure selections, lure colors, lure retrieve techniques and most important locations. LOL!!! So recce the area ard LPR and came across this interesting sight.

Easily 50 in a group. maybe 5 to 7 inches long. WOW!

Numerous splashes are generated by these tomans. And they came in huge groups. Easily 50 in a group! :) Got 2 or 3 groups. Didn't saw any mama or papa Tomans though. Seems like these young fellas are scraping the algae off the banks to feed. Hmm... Vegetarians? LOL

Same spot saw a watermelon resting in the water. Doesn't move much and surface for air once in a while. Seems injured and so close to the bank i can almost grab it. Kekekeke!!! Tried casting ard the spot but no bites. Though of foul hooking it but... Oh well, don't wanna disturb it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!

Just wanna try out my new 8lb Spiderwire braided line i bought earlier that day... Been using that wind knotty mono line all these while and Boy! What a great casting distance even for my light tackle luring setup... Didn't expect to land this beauty on the very evening of the Brand New Year! It sure gave me a great minute fight... The take was totally unexpected! Firm and solid bashing around by this beauty. I have to keep my rod firmly up cos i really don't want this baby to go! kekekeke!!! For a period it just splashes around and i thought its a goner. I quicky grabbed my lip grapple and hooked it up. Hehe! Thanks Zack for my line tieup! :)

Nice weight on my grip! A COOL 5 Pounder!!! :)

Unhook the lip part and OMG! Another hook up on the flap!
Subdued this BEAUTY in less than a min! 
Close up on the BIG MOUTH!

Hooray! My first Biggie Peacock Bass caught on a brand New Year! Fish is CNR for my next visit liao... Hopefully this lucky catch will usher in good luck this year! kekekeke!!! And so my fishing wish for this year is... "NO PUB SIGNS FOR NO FISHING LAH!!!" :)
