1st attempt at Pole Fishing

Venue: Pasir Ris Skill Pond
Time: 7.30pm - 10.30pm
Bait: Dead Prawns
Rig: Pole Fishing
Weather: Fair
Date: 9th April 2011(Sat)

Have been reading alot of 'Power' CRs on FishingKaki. Therefore decided to go down on Sat night to have a try.

I got a packet of Kelong Sotong as advise by the uncle there and started fishing. I got no hits or takes at all for the 1st hour. Decided to change to Dead Prawns instead but still no bites.


Was thinking what wrong when I finally feel a pull in the 2nd hour! Set the hook and slowly play with the bugger.


I waited so long for it and I won't want to lose my first fish. Took me 5 mins and I still couldn't land it. Was my first time fishing there and I was afraid the leader might give way if I try to yank it out of the water.

It was finally landed when one uncle help me to pull the leader out of the water. My first fishy on Pole! 800gm Kim Cheow!!!


After my first fishy, all hell break loose!! It was almost lo jiak lo jiak...
I got many takes but all end up bursting or throwing of hook. Sigh.

It was until the last hour when I finally got hold of the technique and landed 2 more Kim Cheow.

Overall a very fun experience. Will be back!!!
