SriPetaling Paypond


I have a love hate relationship with SP paypond. There are times where i dont catch a whisker at all and there's time where i can catch up to 10 fishes in 3hours. Its the closest pond in my area, so love it or not this is the only place where i can wash away my "racun pancing" during the holidays.

The rate here is 25bucks for 3hours per rod then additional 3bucks for every one hour added on. I started fishing from 3pm till 9pm. The pond was filled with pacus but they just kept breaking my hook. Damn, i lost about 3hooks and one hook=one fish. Things got even worse when the malay boy beside me keep hulling up fish after fish after fish. Ok, maybe he was just lucky. Then when he left a abang came and did the same thing like the small kid. Catching 3fishes in less than 3mins.

I was so frustrated, but as the saying goes "cari rezeki-lah".If its yours then its yours.( just like girls ). So i kept on waiting and waiting till around 6pm. Finally, something hit my bait and what a surprise, it was a sultan fish. The sultan fish must be a luck bringer, after that i caught two more pacu. Not a bad day. 6hours 3 fish. OK-lah at least dint go home empty handed this time. Till then, God Bless.

Catch Report : Lure Fishing at Tropicana.


All the fish were caught using "STORM" soft rubber lure. Its quite effective against the haruans. We also caught some Jags & even tilapias. Still doesnt know why the toman i released back in January, still hasnt hit any lure we presented. Smart fellow.

( * NOTE : Not advisable to fish at tropicana as you might just get hit by golf balls ! )

Bentong Trip

During holiday, me & bro join Jping's family to bentong farm to do some deepavali fishing. The trip really came at the right time as i was really worn out by AS finals and i really needed a break dearly.

We left for bentong around 7.30 and had breakfast at a restaurant just around the bus station. You gotta try out their wantan mee and their famous Charsiew pau which unfortunately was sold out that day.

We reached the farm around 10+ in the morning. As usual we were greeted by barking dogs which will turn friendly once you come out from your car. Weird aint it. The air was 100 times fresher compared to the cities and it was really a good day to do some fishing as the sun wasnt that glaring.

Biggest pond in the farm.


Overall , it was a fruitful trip. We caught more than 50 sizeable red tilapia , 1 Jelawat. J.Ping was rewarded with a kilo+ haruan ( striped snakehead) with his endless casting effort. As for me, it wasnt a good day at all, my uncle broke my newly bought casting rod while trying to retrieve my snagged lure. So, its just bait fishing for me. Although I dint catch anything worth mentioning but as the saying goes "A bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work "
