Fishing Log

Last week, on wednesday (12th march), went to try at Tanjung Syawal again. This time with Dan S. It was cloudy, wasn’t hot enough… So we didn’t do well. Dan got 2 pacus. Small ones. Smaller than the previous visit’s (the ones i caught with Dan Raj).

Heard from the ppl there that the bigger pacus all fished out dy. They just put in new ones, but really small. All around 500gm only maybe. I tried bomb fishing with bread. I got a small 6 inch Leeko. Threw into the river behind.

That’s all. So sad. We left after 2 hours. No point staying since not good.

This morning (17th march) went with Dan S again. I fished for 3 hours, he fished for 2. He played float the whole time, din get anything. I got a small pacu (approx 500gm) and two 6-inch Leekos, all on bomb. According to the worker, they din put anymore pacu since the last time coz now added more Leeko.

While i was there, saw the chinese uncle caught a 1+kg patin on float… But the biggest was a young guy who caught a Leeko, at least 3+kg. He fought for i think close to 10 mins just to get it in the net. So nice! Wish i had that! Other ppl din get anything.

Yesterday (8th March) was polling day. Before i get to my fishing stuff. Just wanna say that i’m glad with the results. It’ll be interesting to see what happens over the next 4-5 years.

Ok… I heard bout this place about a week ago, from Teh at Teluk Pulai Shop. There’s a pakcik who gets like 30kg of pacu in like 2 hours all the time here. It’s called Tanjung Syawal.

Went to try it out with Daniel Raj yesterday, since both of us not elligible to vote yet. Haha.

We use cacing tanah and cengkerik. All also very laku. In first 1hr15mins, each of us got 5 pacus! Good fights! I got double hook-ups twice! Daniel also got once!

Then we cahnged to bottom fishing to see if can get bigger fish. Nothing. Only the last half hour of our 3hour session, we went back to float for pacu. Got 2 each, both double hook-ups.

Our rods maybe a little too big la. It would’ve been nicer to fight those pacus with smaller rods. Nevertheless, they gave us good, thrilling fights at times. The score ended 7 - 7.

So, after everything, we sold all the fish to a regular there - a chinese uncle. All 14 pacus = 8kg = RM18. He offered me RM2/kg, in the end gave me a little extra. I know it’s kinda low, i could sell for RM4/kg if i know some other ppl outside who wanna buy for makan. This guy probably will kumpul, then sell to them.

Since we paid RM20 for 3 hours each, after we minus the money we each made from the fish, we only paid RM11 each for the day’s fishing. Great! Actually, i kinda consider it 2 hours of fishing. If we did seriously stick to pacu fishing, we could’ve finished at 2 hours with the same 8kg or more! So we kinda only had to pay RM14 per person for entry, and that would make it RM5 per person at the end of the day. But nevermind la… Had great fun!

Must go there again next time. Saw some ppl got Patin and Tilapia also. And some ppl went home with huge 3+kg Liku, caught before we went there. Next time must bring Bom dy.

Ok la… That was a good trip. Can’t wait to go there again!
