Fishing kaki

[SIFU]

So did you manage to catch any fish ? They always say 'beginners luck' !

i did manage to catch a small strange looking fish quite fast..

then suddenly the malay baotman saw it n came scrambling towards me.. he quickly and carefully release that fish back into the sea..

turn up that the small strange looking fish is actually poisonous..

lucky not to have been bitten..

You can try fishing pond. Have you buy the equipment/fishing tackle ?
Where u stay? I know many tackle shop in Singapore in Pasir Ris,Beach road,Clementi.Yishun,Jurong. Some shop price is very resonable. But for me I normally buy in Malaysia price about 20% less compare to Singapore.
Some go for budget, some go for value buy and some go for brand mean budget unlimited.
For me I go for value buy mean quality of the product. Some quality is good but not very expensive because not very branded like Shimano/Diawa.

i stop fishing totally when my best friend and fishing kaki passed away 3 yrs ago.

Sad to know that your fishing kaki friend passed away! :(

But bro no need to quit fishing la, maybe you can find a new fishing buddy in this forum ! Cheers

Bro you can look for Gina or Sam. Anyway i've got a friend who own's a kelong near Pulau Ubin i'll try to dig up his number and pass it to you.
But to be frank local kelong fishing is more for passtime not too high hopes hor! I reckon like what Bro Cestbon suggest Indo or M'sia kelong more fun.

i have 3 rod & 3 reel now, i did pond fishing before but it is to expensive for me( S$50 for 5 hours). i stay in pasir ris. i used to go CV for my fishing stuffs. i bought some hooks & sinker in KL before, i think they are about 15% cheaper than singapore. where do you go in JB for fishing stuffs? my friend told me there is a big shop in PJ.

PJ you mean Permas Jaya right. There are 4 shop there. The best service is FISHING LINES selling budget tackle to high end branded like Accurate/Daiwa/Shimano or even custom make rod, they open the glass cabinet let you touch/test/play by yourself with the reel as you like even can load in the fishing line for you to test if you want to. After test if you don't buy they don't even show black face and still smilling. They will give 5%~25% discount depend on the product. Branded less discount because the margin is very less.
You also can book fishing trip in Australia/New Zealand/Taiwan and many place with them.

Yes bro, what your friend is true cos our kelongs here are situated quite near to shore and after rain ( espesially heavy rain ) due to too much fresh water are flush out into the sea at this time !! Some how the fishes becomes non active or most of them will go to deeper waters. Unless there is a change of tides, you still got some chance of getting fish if not it's almost ZERO!!!
