Rig: Floater
Baits: 300gm of live prawns
Weather: 7am Drizzling, 8am Cloudy, 12pm Sunny, 3pm Windy, 3.30pm Thunderstorm

Have been a Zero Fighter for a few trips liao. Went Boatfishing ZERO, Went East Coast ZERO.
Decided to give Tmj a try today. Reach the pond at ard 8am.

Was told that they have change their rates. No longer 7 hr slot.
Now is either 7am-7pm or 7pm-7am $35. Hmm seem not bad ar..


Views of TMJ


Anyway setup my tackle and started fishing at ard 8.15am.
Was having my breakfast halfway when I saw my float moving.
Give a STRIKE but nothing..Sigh
First Miss of the day.

Soon 1/2 hour have passed but I dun have any bite. Anglers ard me started landing fishes but not me...

Was getting abit sian when I saw my rod tip moved! Search for my float but it not found.
Immediately reel back the slack line and give a hard STRIKE!

Fish ON! Wooohoooo...finally...

The fight is strong and it keep taking up line. After 3-5 mins, it was landed.
Estimate 1kg MJ.


After landing my first fish, it was another long wait.
I got one neighbour keep landing fish after fish. He use float, I use float, he use live prawns, I use live prawns.

Wonder why I am not the one...

Anyway ard 12pm, I went to the front and cast near the pond. That when I got my 2nd MJ.
Again, it was a nice strong fight. Estimate ard 1 kg.


30 mins later, as I was slowly reeling in my rig. I found something heavy on the other end.
First thought was Sangkot..

But it was actually a 1.8kg Taiwan Ngor. I nv knew Taiwan Ngor can be such a GOOD fighter.
It gave me a super good workout pulling out my line like a non-stoppage train.

At one point of time, it actually was dashing towards the pump. Lucky I was able to stop it and drag it away from the pump.

1.8kg Taiwan Ngor Aka Good Fighter


All actions end at 12.45pm for me. I dun have even a SINGLE bite until 7pm.
Abit disappointed but I should be contended. At least I broke my dry spell. Haha
