FW1- Return to Baiting

After breaking the duck at Kyoto Pond last Saturday, I decided to move to FW1 after getting reports that it was on the mend. I do not have very good memories of this pond cause the last 2 times, I fished there, it was nothing short of quiet. In fact, I fished at the pond in Dec 09 and paid $100 as it was a so-called "competition". I ended with 1 sea bass which to me was the most expensive fish I have ever caught!

I left the house at 8.30 pm after talking and putting the boys to bed. I got to the pond at 9 pm and started fishing thereafter. This time around, I decided to use baits which is a move away from my usual luring.

Went to the recommended spot and placed in the floater. Within 2 minutes, the float moved down and FISH ON! Out came a very nice 1.5kg Russell Snapper or as we locals would call it, an Ang Chor Kee. Within the span of 2 hours, I managed to haul up a 2kg Red Drum (Taiwan Ngor), a 2 kg Red Snapper (Ang Kuey) and 3 Golden Promfrets (Kim Chews). Yayyyy....my duck has been broken.

Went back home happy and called up my neighbour at midnight to give her the Red Drum and Golden Promfret. She was indeed happy and I was happy for her. I kept both the snappers as it makes good fish curry.

All in all, a great fishing trip and to catch fish after weeks of fishing in a no-fish zone was exhilirating for me!!
