Fishing at Kyoto Pond - 9 Jan 10

After 3 fruitless fishing trips, I decided to go luring at PRPP. When I reached the pond at about 7.45 pm, I noticed that there were quite a number of people fishing but it was pretty quiet in terms of fishes been caught. I spoke to a chap and he told me that he had been fishing for about an hour and caught nothing. And I had thought that the operator had put in a lot of fishes earlier in the day as adversied in FK.

I decided to move to Kyoto and my resolve was to lure and not use any baits. I reached, set up my gear and proceeded to fish. First half an hour, I broke my duck (Hooray...finally!!) and hit a decent size barramundi. After that, I had managed to secure some hits but the hook did not set.

Coming to the second hour, I decided to change from the squidies to the bright luminous green Berkeley Gulp lures. After 5 casts, the water exploded and FISH ON! It was a large barramundi (estimated weight 5 kg) and it did some pretty spectacular acrobatic jumps. After about 5 minutes, it was no match against my GL IMX rod and new Daiwa Exist 1003 reel. Fish was brought up and picture taken before Mr Kim was released back safely into the pond.

2 hits but as far as I'm concerned, it was beautiful as I finally got my fishes!! Thank God for that!

Will post the pix up when I have the time to download it from my camera phone.
