sadly i just have to agree with you. east side seems to have better chances of hooking up a fish

[adesmond2]

punggol no good meh? o.O

Agreed... east is the best place for fishing...

Sadly, the west dont offer as much...

 

even northen/southen also not as solid...

unless of course u have the oppurtunity to work at jurong island.......... fishes there........ have to see to believe....

Yeah, ive heard of the catches there are solid... have you experience fishing there? Lol, share some stories bro...

[Cardtac09]

Woohooo!

 

Went fishing at Bedok Jetty yesterday...

Fished for tambans in the day... caught about 8 or so... din wanna catch too many tambans t prevent wastage...

 

I noticed that the tamban size are getting smaller n smaller... the 8 i caught was smaller den my index finger.. sighs.. but its good size for baiting la..

 

Yup... so i carried on fishing... but whole day no bite at all... i wanted to pack up and leave at 9pm for dinner...

 

den suddenly ard 8.50pm or so, there was a rather small nibble at the other end of the rod... So i quickly removed my bell and hold onto my rod, hoping to strike...

 

then there was this sudden strong jerk... Lol, i was delighted! so i started to fight with whatever it was... cld't feel much at first, cause it was swimming towards me.. but somewhere in the middle, it started to "fight" with me... thats when i feel smth strange... the way its fighting back does not feel like any fish ive encountered... so i suspected it was a stingray!

 

Wahs... the thought of landing a stingray totally got me excited as i nv caught one before...

 

So it was a series of tightening drag, releasing drag... cause i used a really old "ready made" apollo rig and was afraid it'll burst or smth...

 

And i finally landed the ray!

 

excellent fight i must say... compared to the other fishes i've caught before...

Not very big size tho... abt 27cm in length... tail SUPER long tho...

 

But i din practise CnR tho... i only practise CnR in freshwaters...

 

Lol, Sry for long post, but im just excited abt landing my first stingray!

Happy fishing bros... and lets conserve tambans! catch only what u need!

[asychan]

i'm a newbie here, can tell me where can i buy fishing rod? and what kind is better?

[Soulmace]

i can't advise u on wat kind is better. better leave it to the pros in here.

 

but i can advise you where to try looking for fishing equipments, mainly CV and beach road.

[asychan]

owww, thanks... where is CV by the way? is east coast a good place to fish?

[Soulmace]

changi village. east coast seems good. but overcrowded i feel. esp at bedok jetty. anyway theres some fishing forum u can get urself registered and find out more from there. they got lots of info. thats where i learn the basics and stuffs

 

so i guess u stay in the east uh?

[asychan]

haha, totally not... jurong west... but i rly rly wanna come back to fishing, when i was in indonesia i took a boat once to fish, n i caught a lobster! hehe! any place near east coast there that sells fishing equipments? i'm gg to east coast tmr
