Nite Double Kill @ New Spot

Dun understand why lately had trouble sleeping so i kept giving excuse to myself for getting myself up early for my morning fishing. Must be the hot season i guess, very sunny and dry resulting in a recurring cough. Anyway, manage to pull myself up today and went for my usual haunts to look for my beauties. And what a shock i had when i reached the place. The usual netting over the canal is open and tied to the banks. So as to facilitate the cleaning of the waters i guess. The waters felt more rapid than usual and the thought of my beloved Peacocks were washed away etched deeply in my mind.

But alas i got to get my priorities right this late morning. I need to try out my modified soft plastics jig for the Tomans today. Hopes are high this slightly overcast day. Some young Fishos were already testing the waters and i can't afford to wait. Casting the 1/4 Oz rig is pretty solid and i manage to hit the other banks and so distance is assured. Flourishing hydrillas were a problem so I'm testing my timing on the crank not to hit them and it turn out well. Soon i nearly got a hit on a Green-Headed Mama!!! She chased my lure to the bank but didn't attack it, instead and amusingly enough she went below my rig and turn her body downwards so that her mouth opened slightly from below. Hopes rocketed sky high and suddenly crashed to the ground as she shut her jaws tight, the rig crashed onto her and she dashed away in a flurry. Left stumped i bid this haunt goodbye. Maybe Next time... :(

Night time and with crashed hopes i decided to visit this fishing spot near my workplace in Woodlands. Amazingly, haven't given this spot some tests yet for over a year even though it's so near. Haha, and it turned out to be more productive than LSR Jetty. Met a couple of friendly Fishos this cool night. And they were on the prowl for Catfish. ^^ Got some pointers in and decided to use my DIY light jig for some testing.

My very FIRST, Jaguar Ciclid a.k.a Guapote Tigre. ^^

Boy, this Jaguar fight hard!!! Though its slightly bigger than my palm, it reminds me of the 1/2 Pounder Peacock caught in Feb! Some darting actions were imparted and since i worried that it might dive into the rocks i just crank in hard and pulled in out fast. No problem with my tackle! LOL

Hook set No. 2! Bait sized Nile Tilapia ^^

Luring close into my 2 hours session. Hit this bait sized Nile Tilapia. Not bad for tonite's expedition. Kekeke. Gonna love this spot!!! Will be my new testing ground for ultra light jigs and lures. Thanks to the Fishos for the company and congrats on them for catching 2 beautiful Catfish and i'm so glad they're CNR Fishos like me too!!! ^^
