2nd trip to Ed's Pro Pond. Got a big fat zero the first time and decided to try it out again...
Reached the pond at ard 2pm, paid for the rod and off my prawn diving into the salty water.

As usual, the hot spot was flooded with beehoons wannabe


It was pretty quiet. Only saw 1-2 fishes landed in the first hour there.

Was chatting with Cx halfway when one regular came over and talk to me. He advised me to cast at a certain spot and sounded SUPER confident.

Followed his advice and recast my bait. Within 2-3mins, my rod gave a few strong jerks! Boy, I was soooo impressed by this guy.

Grabbed my rod and strike hard! Fish On!!! Line was peeling out as I slowly pumped the fish to the surface. The fight was definitely superb.

The fish did managed to dash into some structures at one point of time. Loosen the line tension and saw a reddie figure swam out. Quickly pumped it up to the surface and YES!

Broke my egg. Estimated 800 grams Mangrove Jack in the basket!

Cx casting to the 'hotspot'


Rebait and off goes another prawn diving into the water. Waited for another 30-45 mins when I spotted my rod tip giving a light tug. Stood up, took my rod and slowly tightened the main line..

"Got Fish?", said the regular. I replied " I think got"...with a smile.
Tightened the line and yes a fish on the other end! Gave a tug and WOW! Another awesome fight.

The fish dived down immediately after I striked. Hold my rod up and kept pumping it to prevent it dashing into its hiding place. However this bugger was strong. I could only watch helplessly as it happily made its way into it hiding place.

Quickly walked over to the left side of the pond and tried pumping it out. Phew~ managed to coax it out and it started peeling my line to the right, left, right and left.

Without any doubt, fishes at this pond fights better than Tmj, Prpp and Prmp. After a min of tug of war, it finally surrender and off it went into the basket.

Est. 800grams MJ & 1.5kg AZ


At this point of time, the regular kept talking abt fishing for Kim Cheow. He wanted to get a Kim Cheow as bait for the resident grouper.

Actually, I was abit reluctant. Totally not interested in Kim Cheow at all. But since I landed the 2 fishes from his hotspot, I went off with him to look for Kim Cheow.

Started fishing for Kim Cheow at ard 4.15pm but he could not get any at all. He got 3-4 bites but none was landed. Was getting impatient and took back my rod at ard 5.05pm.

Was hoping for a few more catches but it was super quiet in the evening. Only managed to register a bite but did not managed to hookup.

Packed up at 7.10pm. Thou catches was pathetic but I was very satisfied. Been quite awhile, I had such awesome fights.
