Local light jigging trip on may day

My prev trip on his boat was consider good enuff, we had 20 over Sagai's landed on jigs and bit of other fishes on baits.






This was my 2nd trip on his boat i will still say its worth trying again and again lol, he is the best boatman ever i came across so far in local. But somehow result for jigging that was not good , i guess the season for Sagai is over liao. Lucky we got buy 1kg of live prawns standby hahaha "1 kg of bait is not enuff"

But ... but... still we enjoyed the trip.



We setted off at about 9am in the morning , the boatman bring us to a jetty like place to try jigging our luck for awhile . There were some takes but nothing was hooked up so we leave the place to another spot. Boatman told us that we abit late for the Sagai liao so i decided to use bait hahaha.

My first fish of the day




On my prev trip my hong kong hook was to big liao so this time i got a smaller size de, this time we landed quite a number of parrot fish on live prawns. Using hong kong hook is not an easy thing kekeke i'm still learning how to work the hook with the current.

Rigging the hong kong hook is simple just put your leader through the hole on the lead and snell the hook, put your bait and you are ready to fish.

If you are just doing light bottom fishing at that area 1kg of live prawns is not enuff lol as there are too many small fish around the area liao.

You will need a lots of baits to play the game, on every drop you will encounter lots of bites from the small ones. Once you feel the fishes biteing lift your rod a bit move the bait away from the fishes then drop it back for them again. In this way it may trigger the bigger fish around the area to come snatching food from the small fish.









I hooked up a 6lb queenie on live prawn during the fall of my bait.


When the current start picking up and we had not much of baits in the live well we moved to another spot for jigging but luck was not on our side.


Jarrett only manage to hook up a small chermin.


We moved too many spot liao till i can't remember lol, we kept moving and trying. Lucky at the end of the day i hitted the 1 and only Sagai of the day and jarrett hitted a 8lb queen on jig.


Jig was removed before photos


Our total catch of the day was not so good compared to the prev trip hai.... it could be better if we had more baits. Oh well.... the next trip we will get more baits kekeke



Our next trip will be on may 28th, We will be setting off super early on that day as we will be trying new stuff on his boat.

Luring cum trolling cum jigging cum baiting kekeke.

Some jigs jarrett got back from taiwan

Recently jarrett and a few of our friends went to taiwan for holiday , he happen to drop by 2 tackle shops there


















some of the jigs are cheap but some i rather get it in singapore.....

Few more days to go .......for another local light jigging trip.... hopefully it will be as good as my last trip lol. I'll be also trying out small rubbers and flies this time kekeke see if i could get some Spanish Flag Snapper with rubbers....

My recent trip in the morning

Recently mondo got his new BC set (shimano calcutta B 201 pairing with a major stick) so we decided to do some fishing in the morning. when we reached the spot i was kinda sad becos there was a net right in front of where we are going to fish. Maybe due to the nets fishes was very less that morning and they are far out from us lol.



After casting for awhile 2 more anlgers came in to the hole somehow they are not aware of the net ,1 of them casted his lure right into the net. But his lucky lor 2 foreigner workers came to check their nets lol and helped him to get back the lure. The 2 anlgers leave after awhile as no point staying anymore lol once the 2 foreigner workers went into the water splashing here and there i don't think the fishes will come in liao.



End of the day Mondo still manage to get his first fish on his new set up


Small one for me too lol


2 fish for this trip only sad sad hopefully the next trip there will be better.

Few days back we had some reels from Purefishing arrived in the shop, the first thing that caught my attention was this abu SALTY STAGE REVO VS-1. its an new model from abu garcia, i have done some search on the net of the reel but the search results linked me to some korean website lol. i could not understand a single word lor.

Sunday 110410

Sunday morning actually me and Jarrett was planning to go after the PB's but the both of us over slept, when i woke up it was already 7am lol so ended i went down for a walk in the park near my place.

At about 12 noon jarrett call and ask if i'm still wanting to fish , hmmm lol why not i'm still itchy to fish lor. Both me and him went to a freshwater hole to recce and yup the place sure looks good for luring lol we casted for awhile then decided to call it off as the timing is too off liao.

But we plan to come back in the evening....



Justin and melvin was in bottle tree fishing so we decided to pop over to see how's their catches. hai... sad they only had landed a walking cat so far before we reach , that was really sad lor from what they know is the whole day ppl there catches only walking cat lol bite rates was really bad too.



I told justin why don't you try popper?



btw justin was the one which told me that the Chao Phraya catfish in FW3 takes popper , thats why i tot of maybe he could try it in bottle tree.

immediately he took out a popper

First cast BOOMZ he hitted a fish lol









It was a small Chao Phraya catfish









After the fish was released i realise the weather changed lol dark rain clouds are all over our top lol.

At 4.45pm we leave bottle tree and went back to the freshwater hole to try our luck again....

Well.... luck was on my side kekeke i landed about 6 small pb's before we call it a day lol.

They were small but better than nothing

Auntie's pond 040410

That morning was rainning i was like WTH.... why must it rain today...lol and i almost over slept luckly jarrett called me before he come over to pick me up. After picking me we went over to pick aaron (from sabre tackle) his place was 1 road next to my hse lol.

The rain did not stop went we reach the pond hai... sad sad but what to do we had already booked liao. After everyone arrive we started setting up our tackle and stuff.

Oh ya i had some msg asking about the cost of the event pond we booked.

ok here you go guys.

The booking of the Event pond for 6 hours = $500 ( Fish are not included for 6 hours of fishing)

1KG of fish will be $10 you can tell the uncle wat fish you wanna release, for our trip this time we got from uncle 60kg of fishes which means it will cost us $600 for the fish.

Total cost for our trip on that day $1100

But heard from some guys saying if you are paying $500 just for 3 hours of fishing ( maximum 10 pax)uncle will release some fish into the pond for you.













The rain stopped after the first cage of fish were released, almost everyone was busy landing fish hahaha. That day for me was consider good.... as i totally did not touch a single bait at all, i landed 8 fish for that day.



6 were on white rabbit rubber 2 were on rapala rattlin.

I had a few misses and lost of fish.

Ok cut short everything let the pics do more on the talking hahaha

White rabbit rubbers work wonders hahaha all i need to do is crank it at a speed which the rubber are still able to touch the bottom of the pond. The treble hooks need to be removed or else you get snaged easily.

























Total catch


We will be booking the pond again soon!
