23 August 2009

Set out early in the morning to AC's place. Reached Semenyih around 7.30 am and had breakfast at a mamak shop.

Set up at watergate, while AC took a place at the sandy cliffs beside the watergate. Greenyz came not long afterwards, followed by Jimmy shortly.

Discovered some leftover FV pellet hong when I stepped on it. Used it first while I mixed my dedak. Thought the thing won't work, so I reeled back 1 rod and used dedak mix. By this time, I had threw away the remaining FV pellet hong, and a worker picked it up into his thrash bag. Jimmy had already casted using corn beside me. The tong of corn is so smelly, not even flies will go near it.

And suddenly, the rod with the leftover hong shook. And the first fish of the day landed.





Jimmy followed not long afterwards, the beginning of his pacu fest, and his best record of fish landed in FV.




1st. It was so petrified of Jimmy that it shat




2nd. This one shat too

A surprise haruan caught on hong

Greenyz is all smiles after waiting all morning

6th. AC decided to share the limelight

Afternoon was quite slow. A few bites here and there.

7th heaven

8th

Michael and his workers came to feed the fishes, and this triggered an army of people coming. Well, maybe not an army, about 4, plus 2 idiots who came earlier and casted near our lines. This made our rods situated barely a metre apart. Imagine when a fish bites. And that's when my second fish come. I threw further away from the others, with Jimmy much further away.

9th. Personal best record already broken

And the hero of the day fighting his 10th fish

10th


Jimmy had a few unhooked and a broken leader as well. I become photographer and tukang tangguk mostly. Other become spectators of Jimmy's heroics XD.

More to come. Plans were being made for the Merdeka weekend at FV

1st August 2009

Jimmy called abt 12pm, asking to go FV. I never say no to a fishing invite, so off we go at 12.30pm. Reached abt 1.30pm, set up at bamboo grove. Really peaceful day, cloudy and windy, and we have the whole pond to ourselves.

Jimmy wasted no time in casting his first rod, bread with a bit of minyak belangkas, while I was still fumbling over my rods. I was thinking it was going to be a good day, coz Jimmy got his first catch of the day. A lampam on the bread. But I thought wrongly. No bites for the whole afternoon even though Jimmy got another lampam. And until we moved to the watergates/hills, only 1 decent fish landed among all anglers there.

We moved around 5.30-ish. Jimmy took the jetty while I set up at the sandy hills. This time, borrowed Jimmy's specially mixed hong. And while I was 'pretending' busy by walking around, my bell buat bising!




Jimmy's special bait really works

Jeremy asked me to get another, so I said hopefully. And within minutes of casting ( with Jimmy's special hong again ), my bell rang again. Didn't manage to get the fish as it lucut. By this time, TJS already caught a lampam, Jeremy with 2 lampams and Bony with none. And TJS spree started.

The first of 3 leekoh




Jimmy doesn't want to be left out




Bony finally got his fish as the closing time draw close




Second leekoh

Jimmy with a huge rohu (special bait mesti kena maa)

Double hook up at the last cast

Still, without opening the watergates, fishes don't bite, with the exception of Jimmy's and my fish.
