Finally We Met!! My Beauty Queen!! ^^

I've been itching to land some nice catches from my spot lately. But still don't have the luck to land anything great. So I decided to take it easy and try to relax in today's fishing. The weather's very good! Not too hot and spotty sunny is my kind of outing... But the waters look so cloudy it dampen my mood abit but hey, I'm here to destress... So there... ^^

Found a few Tomans but they're not willing to kiss my lures. LOL So, I decided to camp around a nice spot to just relax... Played a while with some nesting Mayan Cichlids and haha, found them so so cute. Not much fishos around. And nonchalantly played around with some lures and flies, not expecting to catch anything, just want to test their action. And BOOM! I got a hard take and I quickly strike and tug hard! My drag quite loose and the fishy manage to pull some lines quickly. I tightened my drag and reel in firmly but it swam hard around digging into the weeds and I had a nice time steering home the prize! I really loved their energetic swims! Luckily it surrendered!

Nice kilo plus fighter! Long time since I've enjoyed it! It's always a nice feeling knowing they're still hiding around. Hopefully fishos can get to had a feel of it and pray tell they release back okay! Let them roost and we'll have a hell of a time too! ^^ And I lost my lure on a second take. It seems the first fight had brazed the leader, and I felt the take was huge too. What a waste! Finally, my second and last catch was a nice surprise! Temensis spots again, although it lacked in size, it's will to fight is great! Hopefully you will grow up big and jio all ur temmy frens here okay!

All catches were released back as usual! Had a fun time under the sun! Tomans, I will be back and devise need methods to catch you! Stay put and look out for fishos who cook you okay! LOL Cya fishos ^^

6 Takes!! 3 Landed!! 5 Friendly Fishos!! Shiok!!

Went down to my  fave haunt this cloudy yet bright day.. Water was surprising calm, could see a mama Watermelon swimming happily and, to my horror, already one baiter using catfish near my spot.. =\ Nonetheless I chucked my lure in, thinking of disturbing his catfish loh.. Kekeke.. Then HOOK SET!! FISH ON?? Eh, no fight at all.. I really caught that catfish meh.. To my amusement, a juvenile Toman was foul hooked.. LOL Quickly took a snapshot and release it..

Sensing my Queens were somewhere else, I trolled the waters and met a long time fisho of the area, bro Dan.. We had a nice chat as we lured and before long.. HOOK SET!! FISH ON?? Got a nice tug as the fish steered to the right and WTF!! Could see I foul hooked somewhere around the fin.. Quickly brought to bank.. A nice light 27cm.. Eh, why so many speckles? Temensis? LOL Quickly take a snapshot and release it.. WTF!! Twice kena foul hooked!! The 'gods' must be playing with me loh.. Kekeke Sensing my Queens still there, I chuck my lure again and HOOK SET!! FISH ON!! This time should be good, can sense the peacock bass fighting near the surface of the water.. Then.. Eh, hook came off.. WTF!! Bro Dan also say should be bigger then just now the one.. T_T



Look see look see got one fisho topwater at the far end, wah so hot still topwater.. I tried some recce luring and.. HOOK SET!! FISH ON!! Wah got nice tug can feel the fish moving fast I pulled it jumped and hook fly back.. ZZZzzz LOST AGAIN.. Damn sad.. Changed my lure to bigger hook.. Then.. HOOK SET!! FISH ON!! Wah, nice tug quickly set my drag high and pulled a plump Queen! Aiyo, for its 30cm size still weigh half kilo.. Must have eaten alot.. Greedy pig.. Kekeke

Mini trap for my 'captive' else they will swam off...

Then the  'gods' must be telling me dun yaya papaya lah and 'they' gave me a stomache, so I go for early lunch.. Anyway spotted some strange tiliapias at the next area.. I tried a small jig, was pretty amused it somewhat chased it but never really bite.. LOL Saw Bro Dan, he landed one peacock bass too.. Nice one! Forgot to ask him let me see, later go his blog gian abit..

Met 2 young friendly fishos, bros Brendan and Jeff and an enthusiatic baiter turn lurer Shihong, who caught a nice peacock bass and slipped another.. Donated one lure to shihong all donated setup.. Kekeke Saw Banhock bro too in his usual gear.. Then last cast.. HOOK SET!! FISH ON!!.. Dunno kena what cos halfway hook came off.. Very tired liao.. Looks like need more hooking practise.. LOL Next time you all go fishing dun forget to jio me loh.. Cya fishos!!!

PS: Is that spotted Peacock Bass a Temensis half bred? I really dun know! LOL
