Assalamualaikum and 안 녕! It has been rainy this past few weeks and anglers like us find it difficult to fish at this time. Temperature and the salinity of the water has definitely change the estuary system and the fish would probably go to a deeper area. But since Sunday is the only fishing day available, I just have to go with luck. Like usual, my cousin Tyco and I went to our usual spot at 0630hrs. This time, I have installed VANFOOK double hook (which I bought recently) on my favorite lures so I came prepared. Lures I started to use was a Baby Cima 60MR-F minnow and it wasn't long that I got an early strike. It was just a small Estuary Cod and after releasing it back, I cast away and a strong thug took my Baby Cima. Reeled it nice and easy and voilà! a good size 500g MJ. Tyco however caught a good size Tarpon using a Rapala Shad Rap. The tide was about to rise and we decided to move to freshwater fishing as we were targeting Snakeheads. There, Tyco caught a small Snakehead and an hour later, I caught one weighing around 400g. Since Snakeheads have some healing and medicinal properties, we had to take it home for my brother in law who recently had an operation. As the sun were shining above our heads, the temperature were getting hotter, we had to called it a day. Sunday fishing was fun and now, I'm counting days for my next Sunday fishing (^^,)

 

Assalamualaikum and 안 녕! Recently I deservedly bought myself some new fishing gear which I ordered online from the States (thanks to my wife's credit card. Hehe). It was a perfect timing as it arrived on my birthday which was on the 22^nd November ‘10 and they even sent it at my work place. Anyways, the stuff I bought was a Shimano Blackmoon backpack, a Shimano reel cover, and 2 sets of Basstrix plastic lures. I'm quite happy to have received my orders and I didn't expect the backpack to look that big. It looked smaller when I saw the pictures on the web. Haha! Well, it doesn't matter, at least I can shove in loads of my fishing stuff in it. As for the lures, I haven't test it out yet, as of right now, work has made me tired and fatigue got the best out of me (I seriously need to get back in shape). If I do get good response from these lures, I will update you with it. I forgot to mention that I also treat myself with 5 sets of Storm plastic lure that same day. Haha! So below are some photos of my recent purchases and hope ya'll will get inspired to order it yourself. Hehehe ...

Assalamualaikum and 안 녕! Just wanted to share you with what I've bought lately. I have always wanted to have a go on a baitcasting reel and when I heard Zool had planned to go to Singapore, it was an opportunity for me to ask him kindly to get me some IMA lures and Shimano Cardiff 100A. Then I asked myself what rod should I pair it with my Cardiff. I immediately thought that I should ask a friend of mine who is the master of ordering fishing gears and parts. Muncip recommended me to pair it with Shimano Compre rod and since he knows a lot, I didn't hesitate to place an order. And also, I bought myself a spinning reel, a Shimano Stradic CI4. So below are some pics of my new gears and I hope you'll get inspired so you too can have a go at a baitcasting reel
