Ever since I started fishing actively 2-3 yrs back, I will try to search for fishing places whenever I travel.
This time round I managed to wet my lines in one of the most busiest city in the world, HongKong.

Fishing in HK is relatively new to me. Therefore, it was quite a challenge to plan this fishing trip.
After gathering some info here and there, I decided to pay a visit to one of the saltwater pond at 元朗流浮山下白泥村

You may refer to http://www.yl.hk/duck/ for more info on this pond.

Day 1

Woke up at ard 7.30am and proceed to buy our breakfast.

We board our train at Jordan MTR and have to travel for ard 40 mins to Tin Shui Wai station.

Tin Shui Wai Station

We took a cab to our destination from Tin Shui Wai Station.

And there we are.....鴨仔坑釣魚場

Rules and Regulations

Different views of the pond

The owner was busy washing and clearing tonnes of bait fishes near the pond. When she saw us, she recommend us a hotspot.

Without any hesitation, I proceed to setup my tackles.

Bought one big bag of bait fishes from her at only HK 5~ SGD 1! Super Cheap!!!

Once done with my setup, I casted in the first baitfish at ard 9.30 am and BAMMM!!!

Fish ON!

Wow that was fast......! Cx grabbed the rod and line started peeling out in a fast and steady manner. She was struggling as more than 10 metres of line had already been stripped out. I quickly took over but the line snapped...

Rebait, Cast and Bammmm!!!! Fish ON again!! And we lost the fish again due to snapping of the line....

We had ard 2-3 line snapping cases before I finally landed my first fish at 10am!

Hook On!!!

Instead of taking a cab back to the MTR, we went to catch a minibus.

There is another pond just opposite call 'Hao Jie' fishing pond. Some pics of the pond while waiting for the minibus.

Day 2

We went back fishing on friday. This time round we reached earlier at ard 9.15am. We were hoping to catch the feeding frenzy and leave earlier.

However our high expectations were landed in huge disappointment.

There was no frenzy. Bites were coming in so much slower. We paid for 2 rods instead of 1 rod to increase our chances.

Our breakfast

Setting up the tackles

9.35am, Hook On!!!

It was a strong fight. Line was peeling fast and I had to keep pumping to gain back my lines. It took me 5-7 mins before the bugger finally surrender.
